13:33:02 [josema]
that was me on a _real_ phone, no way to get decent sound today from here :(
13:33:07 [Rachel]
Kevin: Looking for opportunities to market our efforts, raise awareness about our work
13:33:38 [Rachel]
...avoid recreating the wheel, if others know what we're doing, they can join us
13:34:03 [Rachel]

13:39:25 [Rachel]
Daniel: "wikipedia" of data from around the world

13:42:18 [Rachel]
...Timeframes very short!
13:42:55 [Rachel]
...Need to finalize ASAP, so we can submit before deadline in early July.
13:43:11 [Rachel]
...need to be very careful about specific deliverables - can we actually DO those things?
13:43:33 [aharvey]
+1 to john's point about deliverables
13:43:55 [josema]
I think we need to get this to W3M agenda on July, 15th... 22nd in the worst case scenario
13:44:42 [Rachel]
Kevin: Draft he posted is just a "draft" - need feedback!
13:45:03 [Rachel]
John: Are deliverables realistic? Do they add value?
13:45:07 [josema]
my two concerns: actual deliverables and "visualization" TF
13:45:27 [Rachel]
Owen: Who is volunteering to take the lead on deliverables? Nothing will happen w/o someone taking ownership
13:45:35 [Rachel]
Kevin: Agree
13:45:54 [aharvey]
+1 to Owen
13:46:02 [josema]
q+ to _try_ talk about my OGD TF discussions
13:46:06 [dmcallis]
+1 Owen
13:46:10 [Rachel]
...that's why we need to increase participation - either by adding more members or getting current members more active
13:46:59 [Rachel]
...our Group can serve as a bridge betweens lots of other initiatives
13:47:15 [Rachel]
...need to get people to commit to actually DOING things!
13:47:24 [anne]
+1 Kevin's idea of creating liasons
13:47:28 [josema]
q?
13:47:30 [Rachel]
Owen: Who will be liaison to those other groups?
13:48:34 [Rachel]
George: issues with RDFA or HTML5 causing concern

ack josema
13:49:18 [Zakim]
josema, you wanted to _try_ talk about my OGD TF discussions
13:49:20 [Rachel]
John: Wants to talk to the "html5 guys"
13:50:10 [Rachel]
Jose: Working w/W3C communities
13:50:54 [Rachel]
...we can have mixed membership - collaborate with other groups to create "design patterns for Open Government Data"
13:51:17 [Rachel]
...each individual task force can have its own mailing list, to make communication easier
13:51:33 [Rachel]
...agrees w/John about html5 issues
13:51:58 [Rachel]
...govt already has many use cases around RDFa to illustrate the value
13:52:40 [Rachel]
Kevin: html5 issue being talked about, perhaps we can raise these issues in a larger arena
13:53:05 [john]
q?
13:53:28 [Rachel]
Daniel: We want to standardize...but lots of new exciting things always happening
13:53:39 [josema]
I already communicated this to Mike Smith (HTML WG Team contact), will contact him again
13:53:51 [Rachel]
...our group can help everyone "get along"
13:53:52 [john]
just checking charter2 wording, checking this type of issue is in our scope
13:54:03 [josema]
ACTION: josema to try get RDFa Gov use cases on TPAC agenda
13:54:03 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-71 - Try get RDFa Gov use cases on TPAC agenda [on José Manuel Alonso - due 2009-07-01].
13:54:36 [Rachel]
Kevin: is there a business need that conflicts w/RDFa?
13:55:14 [dmcallis]
How do we view competing technologies in metadata, (like XMP) and the wide use of such?
13:55:20 [Rachel]
...not sure our group is doing all we should
13:55:56 [josema]
to make my point clearer: I believe OGD is a superset of Linked Government Data, i.e. Linked Data will be a significant part of it but we'll have non-LD use cases
13:55:59 [Rachel]
...this year, there are lots of good opportunities for our Group to make a positive impact
13:56:26 [ocr]
+1 on josema, RDFa and OGD
13:56:27 [john]
q+
13:57:06 [Rachel]
Daniel: important to comply with ONE standard

Kevin: one of our missions is to partner with others, aggregate best solutions
13:58:00 [Daniel_Bennett]
s/ONE/a
13:58:11 [anne]
Like Kevin's policy of aggregator and not initiator.
13:58:15 [Zakim]

14:00:00 [Rachel]

...regarding Charter 2 - where do we go now?
14:02:28 [Rachel]
...do we have the right scope, how widely should we cover the web development area?
14:02:44 [Rachel]

14:03:11 [john]
wriggle room?
14:03:12 [Zakim]
- +1.202.236.aacc
14:03:17 [Rachel]
Kevin: important to leave some room to adjust as we go, since things change so quickly
14:03:59 [Rachel]
...some issues include accessibility, interoperability
14:04:15 [josema]
we have plenty to choose from: http://beta.w3.org/Consortium/siteindex#sitemap (but even that may not be enough wrt visualization)
14:04:38 [Rachel]
...try not to get bogged down, how best to serve the public?
14:04:49 [josema]
maybe "Web Design and Applications" ?
14:05:11 [Rachel]
...sees 3 different broad areas (in addition to open govt data)
14:05:13 [aharvey]
or "User Experience and Education"
14:05:29 [john]
like both suggestions
14:05:39 [Rachel]
...should focus on things that help governments deliver citizen-oriented services
14:05:56 [josema]
adam, have you seen http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/owea/ ?
14:06:10 [Rachel]
Daniel: looking at "open data" versus "development" - interesting division

14:12:38 [Rachel]
...figure out what we want to accomplish FIRST, then decide on the framework to make it happen
14:13:20 [Rachel]
Kevin: one thing we want is to publish briefing documents more frequently
14:13:25 [john]
so, briefs, memos etc
14:13:37 [Rachel]
...what issues do we want to address in those briefs?
14:13:46 [josema]
I was thinking of brainstorming about _real_ examples, can someone give me one?
14:13:56 [josema]
is data.gov.* memo one?
14:14:18 [john]
that style of communication
14:14:29 [Rachel]
Daniel: promoting best practices is a positive goal
14:14:38 [john]
broad brush, picking uo gov specific context
14:14:47 [josema]
ok, I tend to think we all agree that should be the style
14:14:49 [john]
s/uo/up
14:15:08 [Rachel]
...are we informing best practices in our work products?
14:15:13 [josema]
then we need to focus _very_ well Web D* TF, what's in, what's not
14:15:32 [john]
topic areas - mobile? accessibility?
14:15:38 [josema]
e.g. should be Flash part of that TF?
14:15:47 [Rachel]
...we can give governments the tools to improve their web content/pages
14:16:03 [Rachel]
Kevin: What would issue briefs contain?
14:16:27 [john]
I would focus on W3C tech - we're not a conduit to adobe / macromedia for flash right?
14:16:37 [Rachel]
...consistency in Group deliverables is important
14:16:55 [josema]
do you remember the discussion about "Web content" ? ;)
14:17:14 [josema]
I propose: HTML, CSS, Scripting, Ajax, Accessibility, Mobile Web, i18n
14:17:53 [josema]
rachel: we are short on time, what's the goal for today?
14:18:01 [josema]
... wrt the Charter?
14:18:01 [Rachel]
We need to wrap up soon!
14:18:06 [john]
+1
14:18:23 [Rachel]
Kevin: everyone - you have until Sunday to comment on Year 2 Charter
14:18:36 [Rachel]
...Chairs will finalize on their call next Wednesday
14:19:02 [Rachel]
John: Define deliverables, outline exact topics we want to tackle
14:19:20 [john]
are, thanks
14:19:43 [josema]
maybe more: what about SVG and Widgets?
14:19:59 [Rachel]
Kevin: will send out list of w3c groups, need to identify those with which we need to collaborate
14:19:59 [josema]
Privacy? Math?... list goes on
14:20:01 [john]
my vote, widgets yes, svg no
14:20:07 [josema]
ok
14:20:41 [josema]
I'm trying to take into account what Kevin mentioned about not "too restrictive"
14:20:46 [Rachel]
are you looking for volunteers at this point?
14:20:56 [josema]
s/are/Rachel: are
14:21:04 [Rachel]
Kevin: First let's make sure we have the Charter done, then we can get volunteers.
14:21:43 [Rachel]
John: Although we need to make sure that the elements in the Charter are within the purview and interests of Group members, so we can get volunteers to tackle these issues.
14:21:52 [Daniel_Bennett]
a11y, i18n, HTML, CSS, ECMA, Cool URLs, CSS Media formats including print and mobile, Citations/Anchors/XPointers
14:22:30 [Rachel]
Kevin: still looking for more members
14:22:44 [Rachel]
...we do have good folks on the group now, but can always use more help!
14:22:52 [josema]
daniel, I would put Cool URLs, Citations/Anchors/XPointers on OGD TF, concentrate here more on the "Webapp/visualization" aspect
14:22:53 [john]
I'm not in favour of wishful thinking in the charter (ambition, but also realism)
14:23:09 [dmcallis]
After the new charter, does a F2F make sense? Easier to involve new members with a concrete meeting.
14:23:15 [Rachel]
...don't want to set expectations without being able to deliver on them.
14:23:44 [josema]
tip: read Charter 1 again, concrete, but not much, so we had room
14:24:03 [Rachel]
John: can we assume that we structure Charter 2 from the baseline of where we are today
14:24:29 [Rachel]
Kevin: impressed with level of engagement on the listserv this past week
14:24:44 [josema]
I again regret to have missed previous call :(
14:24:57 [john]
agenda?
14:25:02 [Rachel]
John: Comments on Charter 2 due Sunday. Issues resolved, Charter finalized next week.
14:25:05 [Daniel_Bennett]
Jose, we miss your actual voice on this one
14:25:20 [josema]
scribe: josema
14:25:37 [kevin]
Jose agree with Daniel keep expecting to hear your voice
14:25:53 [josema]
daniel, see draft, I added many comments in there!
14:26:05 [Daniel_Bennett]
ok
14:26:55 [josema]
rachel: ETF to bridge policy/technology gap
14:27:12 [josema]
... several volunteers contacted me already
14:27:18 [john]
zakim, take up next agendum
14:27:18 [Zakim]
agendum 5. "Editorial Task Force" taken up [from josema]
14:27:24 [josema]
... also sent draft proposal to listserv
14:27:24 [aharvey]
I read it.
14:27:30 [aharvey]
I liked it :)
14:27:47 [dmcallis]
I read it... haven't had time to digest or respond
14:27:50 [josema]
... anybody read it?
14:28:02 [josema]
john: talked about this with Comm
14:28:20 [josema]
... Comm very interested in learning what exactly ETF would do
14:28:39 [josema]
... we mentioned ETF will help us reach those we _need_ to reach as a group
14:28:45 [josema]
kevin: strongly agree
14:29:01 [josema]
owen: ?? semantic web for dummies book
14:29:37 [john]
we can resolve this as our way of working, right?
14:30:32 [josema]
josema: please add ETF to draft charter
14:30:36 [josema]
rachel: will do
14:30:53 [Owen]
Brand mentioned the semantic web for dummies book.
14:31:08 [josema]
daniel: [scribe missed point]
14:31:41 [Rachel]
daniel asked if a mention of ETF should be added to other groups, so it is clear that deliverables go thru ETF before publication
14:31:46 [josema]
kevin: ?? something like that would be awesome
14:31:53 [Owen]

rachel: daniel, I like your idea of adding ETF mention to other groups
14:35:30 [josema]
... in terms of editing work, we mentioned editing window of 2 weeks
14:36:13 [josema]
... my plan is to ask people to volunteer depending on topic
14:36:42 [Karen]
Karen has joined #egov
14:37:10 [josema]
daniel: we can have exceptions, also keep media in mind
14:37:16 [Rachel]
differentiate between "press" pieces and documents "for publication"

[some discussion about how the relationship between Comm and ETF should work]
14:43:07 [josema]
RAchel: ETF happy to review and help, defer to jose how it should work
14:43:34 [josema]
s/RAchel/Rachel
14:44:41 [josema]
josema: I'll try to have you joining an eGov/Comm call to discuss about it
14:45:07 [josema]
... we are all in same boat and with same goal, very easy to understand each other
14:45:19 [josema]
[scribe missed OWen's q]
14:45:44 [josema]
[scribe missed adam's, too]
14:46:10 [aharvey]
My point was that we can test out ETF procedures and coordination on the current note, since it's revision isn't a priority
14:46:57 [Rachel]
Daniel: publish our "standards" for writing style, etc.
14:47:03 [josema]
[daniel on plain language, style and make people aware of this to ease work of ETF ?]

rachel: next steps, comments on Charter 2 are due on Sunday
14:48:35 [josema]
... suggestions, please use wiki
14:48:54 [josema]
... also white paper, we should have that fairly soon
14:48:58 [Daniel_Bennett]
have people giving deliverable to ETF to note who the authors are to allow ETF to contact authors
14:48:59 [josema]
... should be our first deliverable
14:49:24 [josema]
... we could even divide up in pieces to work in parallel
14:49:27 [josema]
adam: sounds good
14:49:49 [josema]
rachel: I want to thank you all again for volunteering
14:49:55 [josema]
... this is a passion of mine
14:50:08 [josema]
