Note: There were some technical limitations on the conference call so
       not all participants were able to dial in.

Administrative
--------------

   glazou: CSS3 Namespaces, EPUB CSS Profile, Multi-Col, anything else
           to add to agenda?
   glazou: fantasai mentioned CSS3 Writing Modes, too.

   glazou: Discussed inviting Anton Prowse to WG. Peter and I discussed
           already. He demonstrates already good expertise on CSS.
   fantasai, dbaron, arron in favor.
   several: Let's do it.
   Steve: At one point the group was very small, now it's much larger.
   Steve: What's the criteria for inviting experts?
   glazou: Bringing more expertise into the WG.
   glazou: Anton is a very sharp reviewer of our specs. Would be very useful
           to have him on the WG.
   <dsinger> Who does he work for? Just to be sure it's not a company who
             could join
   glazou: dsinger, that's a good point, we have to check that.
   glazou: Provided he is able to join, Peter and I will do necessary steps
           to invite him.

June F2F
--------

   glazou: First thing, we need to start gathering agenda items.
   glazou: There's a wiki for that, please add items.
   http://wiki.csswg.org/planning/japan-2011

   glazou: Next thing is location. I step aside from discussion, only listening
   Bert: Didn't we say 2 weeks rather than 1wk?
   Steve: I think we said we'd have a decision by next week.
   sylvaing: I posted a poll to the csswg internal list
   sylvaing: we have [?] answers, which is good.
   sylvaing: 3 cannot come to any location
   sylvaing: Leaves 19
   sylvaing: 2 guys would go anywhere but are undecided
   sylvaing: so 17 attendees confirmed
   sylvaing: Number 1 location with maximum number is US at 16, Europe is 15
   sylvaing: Non-Japan Asia is 14
   sylvaing: Osaka or Kyoto is 13
   sylvaing: Tokyo is 12
   sylvaing: We already have space in Tokyo, Sophia in Europe
   sylvaing: so need to consider also the workshop in Tokyo and other things.
   Steve: Do we have a host in Japan outside of Tokyo?
   sylvaing: we don't have the budget to host
   glazou: Koji sent an email about that an hour ago
   Tab: Looking at options, nothing nailed down.
   Steve: Didn't need something nailed down until next week.
   Koji: We have places available, just evaluating which ones are better for
         transportation.
   sylvaing: Who's hosting? Who's paying for lunches, etc.
   Koji: Haven't confirmed ... place fee, several are free (MS, university)
   <ChrisL> Redmond would be fine for me
   Koji: not sure about lunches etc.
   jdaggett: If we go to Kyoto, and we don't have a clear sponsor of the
             meeting, but we're sort of coordinating with groups that can
             provide a meeting space
   jdaggett: Are we ok having a meeting where everyone goes dutch?
   Steve, Tab: sounds ok
   Brad asks why not Tokyo, given only one person would make Kyoto rather
        than Tokyo
   <dsinger> It does sound as if we lose only one person BECAUSE it is Tokyo...
   Brad: Seems ppl not wanting to go to Tokyo, almost all just can't go to Japan
   Sylvain: Steve was not comfortable with Tokyo.
   sylvaing: Didn't get an answer from Bert
   Tab: Howcome said he can't come, schedule-wise.
   Bert: No to Tokyo, yes to everything else
   jdaggett: So Tokyo vs. Kyoto is we pick up Steve and Bert if we go to Kyoto
   jdaggett: I think that's important to point out
   Tab: If we must go outside of Tokyo, I really don't want to go outside
        Japan, because we will miss out on workshop
   Tab: and the attendees there.
   * glazou notes we decided on tokyo BEFORE the japanese people pinged us
            for the workshop
   jdaggett: I'm uncomfortable with uncertainty of coordination in Kyoto
   jdaggett: Don't have solid logistics in place
   sylvaing: We have another week to confirm everything.
   sylvaing: If everyone is comfortable going dutch, then I can coordinate
             with Koji on hosting.
   jdaggett: So you can have a location, but just not sponsor meals.
   sylvaing: Right.
   sylvaing: Have the space, just a matter of coordinating logistics, access
             on Saturday, etc.
   kojiishi: Other than the place, what do I need to prepare? Just lunch?
   <ChrisL> network
   jdaggett: We just decided that we will share the cost, so that just means
             coordinating for the lunch meals, but that shouldn't be most of
             your problem.
   <dsinger> Lunch in Kyoto center is easy
   kojiishi: Seems people prefer Kyoto instead of Osaka. Thanks to MS we
             have Osaka place.
   <dsinger> We have had moeg and bluray there
   kojiishi: I will look for Kyoto place
   some discussion of availability of venues
   jdaggett: Confirm with network access.
   jdaggett: Conditions we have are, we need location that has good network
             access  -- not a lot of blocked ports
   jdaggett: And a projector
   sylvaing: And we need access on Saturday
   sylvaing: I'll get you details for room in Osaka, and we'll finalize that
             next week.
   <ChrisL> also please note that SVG WG had also settled on Japan, and
            wanted a shared day with CSS WG
   <ChrisL> is that still feasible, wherever the CSS WG ends up?
   Steve: Given we need at least another day for the workshop, would people
          in Japan feel more comfortable in Kyoto or Osaka?
   kojiishi: Since most companies are based in Tokyo, we're thinking to have
             first day a week before in Tokyo
   <glazou> wow
   kojiishi: Then bring people who want to speak with WG west
   <mihara> I can ask my company, NTT to pay for the place in Kyoto but not
            sure about lunch.
   <ChrisL> lunch is entirely optional. no problem to get our own lunch
   Steve: Interpretation of going dutch is that all of us would be happy to
          contribute to cost of lunch, but it's much better logistically if
          we can get it catered
   jdaggett: Yeah, we just ordered boxed lunches
   Steve: Yes, that means we can get over lunch faster
   <ChrisL> yes, downside to going to a restaurant for lunch is that the
            break becomes 1.5 hours or so
   sylvaing: At this point are we cancelling F2F in Tokyo, or do we need to
             think about that?
   Steve: Since I'm one of the swing votes, I finally heard some good news
          in the papers.
   Steve: In the end, if we don't find good solution in Osaka or Kyoto,
          I'm willing to go to Tokyo.
   Steve: And my wife says I'm crazy (yelling in background)
   Steve: More comfortable with Kyoto/Osaka, but willing to go to Tokyo.
   sylvaing: Ok, so we're settled on Japan
   glazou: Anything else for F2F?
   sylvaing: We'll make final decision Tokyo vs South next week
   glazou: Ok, next item. CSS2.1

CSS2.1
------

   glazou: First, reminder to tell your AC rep about the testimonial.
   glazou: Deadline is a couple days before Consortium release the REC

   glazou: A few messages about the DoC
   http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2-src/issues-lc-2011.html

   <ChrisL> has anyone pinged hyatt? I see some replies from him are missing
   <hober> ChrisL: I'll ping hyatt

   glazou: Issue 225
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Apr/0132.html
   fantasai: Don't have a response from Anton yet on whether the proposal is ok
   dbaron: I think you should remove "If the element has children"
   dbaron: Otherwise I'm happy with it.
   arronei: I've looked at it, and I think this now more consistent with what
            we have in 8.3.1, so I think this is actually pretty good.
   arronei: Agree about comment on children
   glazou: Does the change imply any change to the test suite?
   arronei, fantasai: no
   glazou: Then let's resolve pending Anton's approval.
   plinss states a concern with Anton replying before Friday
   RESOLVED: Proposal accepted for 225 pending Anton's approval.

   discussion of colors in DoC
   * dsinger suggests Bert finds the official color list and tell us what it is...
   Bert: yellow should be gray

   Second issue is from Olaf
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Dec/0204.html
   plinss: We're not redefining mm or cm, we're just saying that the UA doesn't
           have to make the mm unit match actual millimeters
   <dsinger> well, not on the display surface (which might not exist).
   glazou: One of the responses in the thread should be a good response.
   ...
   <dsinger> it is an inch if the image was at normal viewing distance...
   <TabAtkins_> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Dec/0206.html
   glazou: Should we adopt dsinger's answer as the official answer?
   RESOLVED: dsinger's answer adopted as official
   ACTION: glazou respond to mailing list on this issue
   <trackbot> Created ACTION-315

Requests to publish
-------------------

   glazou: We have four requests: CSS3 Speech, CSS3 Text, CSS3 Writing Modes
   jdaggett: Writing Modes was not sent to lists ahead of time
   jdaggett: I think we should defer that to next week.
   glazou: np
   glazou: Please everyone review that spec before the call.

   <danielweck> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-speech/#changes
   glazou: What is the status of CSS3 Speech?
   danielweck: Has anyone looked at changes since 2004?
   danielweck: Since we last spoke about CSS3 Speech and following discussions
               on www-style, there are 3 remaining issues
   danielweck: 1 is trivial, 2 others may be contentious.
   danielweck: Should be able to reach consensus as a WG.
   danielweck: According to what I've heard, the phonemes issue, is that
               phonemes breaks content vs style
   danielweck: The other changes that have been made since 2004 deserve a
               new WD for review. We are not ready for LC.
   glazou: I see the issues are detailed in the spec itself.
   danielweck: Yes, they are in the spec and linked to Tracker
   glazou: Wonderful. I think WD is fine by me
   glazou: other opinions?
   fantasai: in favor of publishing
   Bert: in favor
   glazou: no objection?
   RESOLVED: Publish WD of CSS3 Speech.
   danielweck: Let me know if there's anything else to do
   ACTION: Bert publish CSS3 Speech as WD
   <trackbot> Created ACTION-316

   glazou: CSS3 Text
   fantasai explains the status of the draft
   fantasai: Attempted to address all the comments from last F2F and on the
             mailing list.
   fantasai: There was a suggestion to split the draft. I think splitting out
             text decoration makes sense, but the rest of the features are
             closely interconnected, so should not be separated.
   <dbaron> so a text-decoration spec would cover text-decoration-*,
            text-shadow, text-emphasis-*, and text-underline-position ?
   howcome wants the script-specific values put in another draft
   fantasai doesn't think this makes any sense at all and objects strongly
   glazou: Is this something that we can discuss in the future, or something
           you feel is a blocker to publishing the WD
   howcome: Those values have been published in the WD already. it's not a
            blocker as such
   glazou: I don't think the issue is closed.
   howcome: I think script specific values should be removed. There should
            be an issue in the spec
   Steve: You'd have to remove text-transform: uppercase | lowercase
   howcome: I fear we're going down the route of list-style-type
   Tab: we fixed list-style-type
   Tab: It's author-definable now
   Tab: But there are still a few types that need pre-definition
   Tab: The things in this draft are similar
   Steve: So the question is when to introduce a keyword vs. have a mechanism
          for author definition
   glazou: This is getting off-topic.
   glazou: The issue here is releasing a WD.
   glazou: howcome, can we get an email explaining the issue
   howcome: I will do it this week
   glazou: Anyone else objecting to publishing the WD?
   Brad asks about splitting the draft.
   RESOLVED: Publish WD for CSS3 Text.
   jdaggett: I'm not at all convinced that having a separate spec for
             text-decoration is a good idea. But we can discuss that later.
   glazou: We will revisit CSS3 Text next week

   glazou: CSS3 Namespaces. Good news is we now have implementation reports,
           FF4 and IE9 pass all tests
   glazou: Meaning we can transition to PR.
   glazou: We have a few comments between date of CR and now
   glazou: Some of them have to be addressed.
   glazou: We need to document the answers etc.
   glazou: Provided that I think we are in good shape for another REC

   <ChrisL> there was a mention on wg list of a couple new tests, not in
            test suite?
   glazou: Top of the hour
   glazou: [something about tests from Alan Gresley]

Meeting closed.
