<kmag> The hangouts link doesn't seem to be working for me.

Weird, it does for me. Let me try and invite you

<kmag> I just get a black screen

Calling you.

<scribe> Scribenick: Florian

Florian: Given the limited attendance, this will be a short meeting.
... I presume there wasn't a long enough notice for people to set aside time to join
... and Mike had a last minute conflict
... There's just two points I'd like to briefly touch on anyway.

Native messaging

Florian: There have been discussions on the Mailing list about whether and when we should look into Native Messaging.
... Given dependencies on the rest, which isn't specified yet, it is a bit tricky to specify already.
... but at the same time, Mozilla is starting to implement
... What we could do is start a separate spec/repo under the CG, that depends on the main one.
... At first it would only be a dumping ground for issues and questions, but it could get fleshed out progressively
... But that only makes sense if someone, presumably from Mozilla, is willing to maintain in, and if other people are interested in discussing it.

kmag: I think it should indeed be a separate spec
... and I believe that Andrew Swan would be willing to maintain it.

Florian: sounds good to me. I can brief him on how to be an Editor.
... one thing being that he should only accept pull requests from members of the CG for IP reasons.

kmag: He isn't a member of the CG himself. We'll look into Mozilla's process for having him join.

Florian: Well, at least Mozilla is a member.
... Let's record a tentative resolution about getting the draft started, with an editor from Mozilla, and we can see later if he joins or if someone else picks it up

kmag: sure

Andy: OK

RESOLUTION: Start a new separate draft for Native Messaging, with an editor from Mozilla

kmag: One thing that will need to be in the main draft rather than the native messaging draft is how to deal with Ids and registration

Florian: why?

kmag: because it affects more than just native messaging.

Florian: We can record an issue in the Native Messaging draft saying that it is needed, but should be defined elsewhere.

kmag: makes sense.

Next meeting

Florian: 2 weeks from now, same time same day of the week. Would that work? Hopefully that gives a long enough notice that interested people can join.

Andy: works for me.

kmag: works for me.

Florian: Anything else you want to talk about today?

kmag: There would be if we had more people on the call, but we don't.

Florian: Meeting adjourned then.
