Christos: I could not connect with the symposium
(technical problem). Apart from that I was very smoth.
... The participants were fine even with the technical issues we had.
(Yes)
Shadi: Very similiar opinion about the
Way-Finding symposium. Very high quility discussion. Less technical problems
than in previous symposium (dialing twice and the beginning).
... People were very engage. We had longer sessions. And they stayed after the
break.
... Most papers were about data gathering and data formating.
... Good mix of research and industry, practical development.
... Godo transition for the Web of Things topic.
... Just received the transcripts, the cochairs will comvert them in hmtl, and
willd o some clean up.
... As soon as possible we will have the transcriptions available.
... Look up timeline to hace the first drafth of the reports.
Christos: We are using a shared document for the questions/comments. Coudl we sahre it with the group of participants?
<christos> I have a google docs with all the process....
Shadi: I dont think we need the actual questions
for the symposium. There are som guidelines from Simon. Maybe prepared all the
questions in advance.
... This way will give a good set of documentation for new synposium chairs
outside the group.
Christos: I will describe the preparation process that we follow.
Shadi: e.g. the fact that you had an script first for instance.
Simon: The technical problems and the mecanics you used to solved them, you can share it so people will be prepare.
<christos> nice metaphor...!!!
Simon: Document the technical problems, how you make things look normal while you were havin technical problems.
Christos: People could hear the audio...
Christos/SImon: It might be useful for having individual audio feed that people can use it to keep track of the event.
Simon: It woudl be interesting to try out a trial of this.
Shadi: I don't think we should change the mode of
participanting, but we can add the transcripts to it.
... W3C is thinking about retiring Zakim, and we are evaluating new
conferences systems.
Simon: Maybe Google handout?
Klaus: The symposium went smothly. We had the
feeling that there was much an internal seminar.
... Need to show other things to show that outrearch of the symposium (nombre
of participants, where are from).
Shadi: Some participants dont want their name
published.
... Any thoughts to improve this Klaus, let me know please.
Klaus: I will let you know.

Shadi: Thanks a lot for all your work, Simon.
It's been a real pleasure. I was specially hard because there was no co-chair.
It was extra work on you. Very interesing work over the last three years.
Interesing synposiam, Interesing research catalogue.
... We have a great work to keep up with the RDWG. I am glad to know you will
be still a member of the group.
... We need to look for two new co-chairs. It is a lot of work/effort and
planning ahead.
... I would like to propose Mark Hakkinen as a potential co-chair. He started
this group, as an interest group, many years ago.
... I've talking with Mark and we have ben looking as his commitments. We need
to identify another cochair with Mark.
... If you have any thoughts or reactions let me know. I am very confident it
will continue to be a good group.
... I will have more time devoted to this group in the following years.
... SImon will send this news no the mailing list.
Thank you. See you next week.
