(but it's the Easter week-end) 16:13:44 ... the AC have 4 weeks to comment on the charter and hopefully approve it 16:13:55 ... in practice, we may expect issues, comments, editorial changes 16:14:01 ... hopefullly nothing more serious than that 16:14:19 ... it's very important that everybody here representing a member should vote 16:14:34 ... I think we need around 20% of the membership saying yes 16:14:50 ... in this case it's also very important that the publishing industry show their support 16:15:10 ... if you're an AC rep, take care of it yourself, if not push your AC rep! 16:15:20 garth: thank you Ivan for the work 16:15:50 ... we need to get voting before the 24 in order to be on time for the NYC meeting 16:16:04 ... anybody on the call has an update on ??? 16:16:16 ivan: there was some outreach to Apple 16:16:45 garth: I did some reach out to Google Chrome standards folks 16:16:53 ... but haven't heard from them 16:17:05 ... with that said, good progress on the charter 16:17:22 s/???/outreach to MS/ 16:17:23 ... one of the last piece for liaising is about the status of latinreq 16:17:28 topic: latinreq 16:17:42 dave: boils down to "I need help!" 16:17:58 garth: can you define the topic a little bit more? 16:18:02 http://w3c.github.io/dpub-pagination/ 16:18:22 dauwhe: I’m willing to help. 16:18:23 dave: see the link above about latinreq 16:18:47 dave: many years ago there was JLreq (about Japanese and Asisan languages layout requirements) 16:18:55 ... very detailed and very useful 16:19:09 ... it was Markus' idea to do that also for latin languages 16:19:15 ... I started it 3 years ago 16:19:25 regrets+ pkra 16:19:31 q? 16:19:37 ... the idea was to capture tarditionnal knowledge of layout and typesetting requirements 16:19:50 ... this kind of info would be useful for standards bodies for ebooks and CSS in general 16:20:00 ... how should things be paginated, hyphenated, etc 16:20:07 ... very broad subject 16:20:25 ... it mostly documents trade-specific things since it's the world I know best 16:20:43 ... things like educational content, complex tables, etc still needs to be documented 16:21:03 ... it would be lovely to have other volunteers to documents the legacy and standards of books layout and typesetting! 16:21:14 garth: how do you envision the output of this? 16:21:20 ... as part of the WG or input to CSS? 16:21:30 dave: I think that remains to be seen 16:21:49 ... w/b useful epsecially in the area that CSS is starting to touch on (like vertical rythm) 16:22:16 ... useful to docment things like baseline alignment, when you try to maintain a baseline rythm, etc 16:22:27 q+ 16:22:27 s/docment/document/ 16:23:00 q+ 16:23:25 garth: I would expect our charter offers the flexibility to look at publishing-speciific layout and do the liaison with CSS, do you think we're OK charter-wise? 16:23:38 dave: yes. I think it's up to us to see how we want it delivered 16:23:53 q? 16:24:34 billk: even though this comes out of traditionnel print typography, does it also apply to dynamic layout? 16:24:41 dave: the short answer is "we don't know" 16:24:42 ack Bill 16:25:08 ... we have 1000 years evoluaiton on how to render text on page, only 20 years of experience on variably shaped screens 16:25:19 ... we don't know what's important and what isn't 16:25:33 ... there's lots of value for the web in this information 16:25:48 ... other people try to throw it away 16:25:59 ... I personally think this has value for the web world 16:26:01 ack ivan 16:26:18 ivan: I think we're in a slightly better situation than we were back then, makes me hopeful 16:26:32 ... when we started the IG it was a very small group 16:26:57 ... now we have a fresh start with a WG, quite a lot of members coming in, I'm optimistic we'll find contributors 16:27:20 ... when we do the detailed planning of the WG we need to define more specifically what kind of work we need for latinreq 16:27:30 ... and get people for specific work there 16:27:44 ... you may be the leader for a while, I hope that's find with you? 16:27:54 dave: yes, I do love working on this 16:27:55 q? 16:28:59 billk: quick comment: dave is also charing the EPUB CG, he's a busy man (he also has a big real job) 16:29:16 topic: update on the f2f 16:29:27 garth: I spoke with Leonard 16:29:35 q+ 16:29:35 ... Adobe is able to host on June 22+23 16:29:50 ... sounds promising if we can get the AC vote 16:30:19 ... I don't have an exact location, but it's highly likely that June 22/23 will be the target 16:30:36 regrets+ leonard 16:30:47 ... we also wan't to have a 2nd f2f in SF in November 6-10 during TPAC 16:31:22 ... I started some conversation with W3C, a lot of publishing-related activity during this week 16:31:36 ... we'd probably meet on Monday/Tuesday 16:31:44 ... the Publishing BG would also meet 16:32:20 ... the Publishing conference would be held on Thursday/Friday, less technical, maybe a day and a half 16:32:40 ... not sure the CG would meet over TPAC 16:32:49 q? 16:32:52 ... but clearly a lot going on at TPAC about publishing 16:33:14 ivan: CG usually get a relatively short 2-hours-only slot 16:33:27 ... we all need to get rooms and there are 100s CGs 16:33:42 ack ivan 16:33:42 ... perfectly doable for the CG, but not comparable to the WG 16:34:05 ... coming back to June, it w/b good to know where exactly the Adobe offices are 16:34:18 garth: I'll take the action item to track that down with Leonard 16:34:28 (or just enough) 16:34:36 ivan: the other thing is to try to get some info about hotels and if Adobe has some special deals 16:34:56 q? 16:35:01 garth: I'll ask Leonard and get back to the group 16:35:44 [discussion about the date of the next call] 16:36:05 ivan: most of European countries will be on holidays next week 16:36:17 garth: we'll get an agenda on for the following week 16:36:18 q? 16:36:35 garth: any other topic? 16:37:21 [meeting closed] 16:37:32 rrsagent, draft minutes 16:37:32 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2017/04/10-dpub-minutes.html ivan 16:37:39 trackbot, end telcon 16:37:39 Zakim, list attendees 16:37:39 As of this point the attendees have been dauwhe, ivan, George, Avneesh, mateus-teixeira, rdeltour, Bill_Kasdorf, Chris_Maden, Rick_Johnson, LaurentLM 16:37:47 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 16:37:47 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2017/04/10-dpub-minutes.html trackbot 16:37:48 RRSAgent, bye 16:37:48 I see no action items
