Media Fragments Working Group: Agenda 19 August, Telecon 1200 UTC

Dear Media Fragmenters,

Please, find below the agenda for this week telecon
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=19&month=08&year=2009&hour=12&min=00&sec=0&p1=0. 

I suggest to have either Jack or Yves for scribbing.

I have also cleaned  the tracker, postponing some of the actions as 
discussed during the last telecon. The current summary is at 
http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/tracker/. It would be great to 
clean the overdue actions.

As Silvia recently reminded us, our charter expires in Jan 2010, and we 
need to move on quickly to LC and progress at the same time on 
implementations. Targeting short term demo (for the temporal dimension, 
using HTML5) seems to be a very good idea. I suggest we aim at sorting 
out the UA / HTTP communication (ACTION-69) during the next 2 telecon so 
be prepared for discussion.
Best regards.

   Erik & Raphaël

* ISSUE-5 [Jack]: Handling spatial cropping requires information at
client-side

6. IMPLEMENTATION:

doing the parsing on client side of the media fragment

slice media files
