<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/tracker/actions/156

Raphael: I will email Conrad about that ...

ACTION-123?

<trackbot> ACTION-123 -- Silvia Pfeiffer to come up with ABNF for header syntax -- due 2009-12-09 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/tracker/actions/123

Silvia: quite busy week, I haven't started, but I will do that tonight
... I do not expect difficulty, I will email this out

ACTION-154?

<trackbot> ACTION-154 -- Davy Van Deursen to add a section 5.2.4 describing his new optimization -- due 2010-03-16 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/tracker/actions/154

close ACTION-154

<trackbot> ACTION-154 Add a section 5.2.4 describing his new optimization closed

Raphael: Davy has re-structured the section 5.2, is there any objections ?

Silvia: no objection

Michael: no objections

Silvia: I agree that currently, codecs do not allow to address spatial fragment without transcoding
... so agree, it should happen with a query

<silvia> spatial fragment retrieval cannot be done with byte ranges right now because current media formats and codecs don't allow it

<silvia> but it may be possible in future

Silvia: if there is a fragment, #xywh= ... then, no request issued, client might highlight a region if it has all the data

Raphael: I will buzz Jack for the action 137

3. Test Cases

ACTION-163?

<trackbot> ACTION-163 -- Raphaƫl Troncy to send a resolution on handling non-existing or illegal fragments to the mailinglist -- due 2010-05-19 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/tracker/actions/163

close ACTION-163

<trackbot> ACTION-163 Send a resolution on handling non-existing or illegal fragments to the mailinglist closed

Raphael: see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-fragment/2010May/0031.html

Michael: no more work on corrib yet
... so I would still need one week to complete and give the ball to Erik

Raphael: what is the plan exactly?

ACTION-146?

<trackbot> ACTION-146 -- Jack Jansen to identify and add in corrib any missing test cases for temporal fragments -- due 2010-03-03 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/tracker/actions/146

Michael: the question is really, can we really have an automated test suite ?
... if not, then corrib is of little use

Raphael: my proposal would be to change the action 146 assigned to Jack to a thorough review of http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/wiki/TemporalDimension
... then, someone needs to add them into Corrib

Erik: I miss what can be automatized also

<mhausenblas> http://ld2sd.deri.org/corrib/corrib.php?export=v1-mediafrag&format=rdf-xml

<mhausenblas> http://rdfa.digitalbazaar.com/test-suite/

Erik: I should talk to my implementers to see if this can be of use

<scribe> ACTION: Erik to report to the group whether such an approach from RDFa test suite can be used for automatically testing the media fragment specification [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/05/19-mediafrag-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-164 - Report to the group whether such an approach from RDFa test suite can be used for automatically testing the media fragment specification [on Erik Mannens - due 2010-05-26].

<mhausenblas> http://ngrep.sourceforge.net/

<silvia> ngrep or tcpdump are good tools for monitoring connections

Silvia: I think whatever plugin you have for the browser, testing if the plugins does the real thing can only be tested with one of these tools

Erik: maybe we can make a summer project for this

<silvia> what you would require is a commandline tool that pulls in what is an expected HTTP exchange sequence from a media fragment request (which could come from corrib) and check with what actually goes over the wire

<silvia> those tools can help with monitoring what actually goes over the wire

4. AOB

Silvia: Let's discuss your email: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-fragment/2010May/0034.html

Raphael: I think as soon as a fragment is requested, we cannot have a 200 answer, so MUST be a 206
... I think if there is a #t= ... then a Range request should be issued, even if the fragment happens to be the entire resource

<mhausenblas> ok, re ACTION-147 - new people are added

<mhausenblas> see http://ld2sd.deri.org/corrib/sparql.php?query=SELECT+DISTINCT+%3Fs++FROM+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2008%2FWebVideo%2FFragments%2FContributor%2F%3E+WHERE+{%0D%0A++%3Fs+%3Fp+%3Fo+.%0D%0A}%0D%0ALIMIT+10&output=htmltab&jsonp=&key=&show_inline=1

You should put: http://identi.ca/conradparker owl:sameAs http://identi.ca/user/31499

scribe: http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/Contributor/JackJansen owl:sameAs http://twitter.com/hackerjack60

Controversial issue about #01 and #04 ... whether a range request should be send at all or not ?

Raphael: I will mention this to Jack when he is reviewing the spec

Open Video Conference: http://www.openvideoconference.org/?l=en

Raphael: who should be there? should the group lobby there for implementations ?
... I think this is the MOST important event!

Silvia: I will there, likely, organize a workshop (FOAM?)

<silvia> FOMS

Silvia: I can send announcement when I have news

<silvia> I will organise a 2-day FOMS workshop before OVC and 1 day hackday after OVC on the Sunday

Raphael: deadline is June 7th ... we can propose a lecture / talk

<erik> +1

Silvia: we can have a f2f there ... talk will be for a general audience

close ACTION-147

<trackbot> ACTION-147 Add all MF WG members to corrib closed

<silvia> bye

[meeting adjourned]

<mhausenblas> happy birthday, erik !!
