Zakim, this will be 3668
15:03:04 [Zakim]
ok, trackbot; I see IA_Fonts()10:00AM scheduled to start 3 minutes ago
15:03:05 [trackbot]
Meeting: WebFonts Working Group Teleconference
15:03:05 [trackbot]

sergeym has joined #webfonts
15:04:09 [Vlad]
zakim, who is here?
15:04:09 [Zakim]
IA_Fonts()10:00AM has not yet started, Vlad
15:04:10 [Zakim]
On IRC I see sergeym, Zakim, RRSAgent, erik, John, jfkthame, Vlad, jdaggett, ChrisL, trackbot
15:04:48 [erik]
(I have trouble dialing in, "this passcode is not valid" - will continue to try)
15:06:53 [ChrisL]
it accepted my passcode
15:07:22 [jdaggett]
erik: i seemed to get on fine
15:07:28 [jdaggett]
dialing into the us number
15:08:44 [erik]
(Zakim Paris didn't accept, Zakim London did, calling via skype)
15:09:55 [ChrisL]
scribenick: ChrisL
15:11:09 [ChrisL]
ChrisL: waiting on responses from Bert.
15:11:18 [ChrisL]
... sent response to Erik Muller
15:11:35 [ChrisL]
... will commit the changes after the call
15:11:47 [ChrisL]
Vlad: ok
15:12:06 [ChrisL]
Vlad: wanted to discuss SOR and way to relax it
15:12:23 [ChrisL]
... but we have no-one from Apple or Microsoft or Operaon this call
15:12:53 [ChrisL]
Vlad: dont want to remove something from the spec, hoping it later gets added elsewhere
15:13:10 [ChrisL]
... with a note saying its subject to change in the future
15:13:45 [ChrisL]
... reviewed process document and it allos features to be marked as 'at risk' and the WG may remove them (but is not forced to)
15:14:03 [ChrisL]
... if we do that it avoids risk of a second last call if we drop the feature
15:14:18 [sergeym]
I'm here, but can't call in
15:14:28 [ChrisL]
ChrisL: yes, that is correct
15:15:05 [ChrisL]
Vlad: there is a majority who want it done one way and a minority who want it another way
15:15:42 [ChrisL]
... so we should mark i as at risk. If we can convince CSS WG to put it in CSS3 Fonts then we can drop it once that is in. Its not WOFF specific
15:16:14 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: Even then you still have a dependency of WOFF on CSS3 Fonts which is dependent of From-Origin which does not exist yet
15:16:27 [ChrisL]
Vlad: yes but we would be moving in the right direction
15:16:59 [ChrisL]
... meanwhile implementations can go forward. Currently we have two implementations per spec
15:17:28 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: there was consensus at one point but now there is not. There has been a split
15:18:22 [ChrisL]
Vlad: Hakon voiced some concerns and said some in Opera are for, some against; and company position in balance was to abstain
15:19:32 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: its not majority rule. Consensus
15:19:51 [ChrisL]
Vlad: we have neither a consensus to keep it or to remove it, so at risk seems better
15:20:24 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: So you say add a note with SOR default with CORS to relax is at risk
15:20:40 [ChrisL]
Vlad: More specific, two notes
15:20:56 [ChrisL]
... one about CORS saying we believe FO may be better but there is no spec
15:21:18 [cslye]
cslye has joined #webfonts
15:21:38 [ChrisL]
... second is for SOR saying we could remove it if we have consensus to remove it or if its added in CSS3 Fonts spec which is a better place for it
15:21:48 [ChrisL]
zakim, who is here?
15:21:48 [Zakim]
IA_Fonts()10:00AM has not yet started, ChrisL
15:21:50 [Zakim]
On IRC I see cslye, sergeym, Zakim, RRSAgent, erik, John, jfkthame, Vlad, jdaggett, ChrisL, trackbot
15:22:17 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: Concerned about the feature 'might change'. at risk is either keep or drop
15:22:52 [Vlad]
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#cfi
15:22:58 [ChrisL]
Present: Vlad, Jdaggett, Christopher, Sergey, Erik, John, Chris
15:23:04 [ChrisL]
Chair: Vlad
15:23:49 [ChrisL]
Vlad: so CORS would be 'at risk' and explain why, because FO is better
15:24:14 [John]
Present: John H, Tal
15:24:55 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: Better if its in the CSS3 Fonts spec
15:25:11 [ChrisL]
... tied to @font-face not to WOFF specifically
15:25:31 [ChrisL]
... wil lput it in an editors draft but mark as at risk then see what flies
15:26:03 [ChrisL]
Vlad: So should people join CSS WG ?
15:26:15 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: Dave Singer and Hakon arte there already
15:26:28 [ChrisL]
Vlad: I could join as well
15:26:38 [ChrisL]
ChrisL; So am I and Sylvain
15:26:55 [ChrisL]
Vlad: Recommend people join that group as well
15:27:20 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: Unfortunate no-one from Apple is heare to clarify which of the possible future options they are comfortable with
15:27:48 [ChrisL]
... CSS WG is a different group, not clear whether they will like it or not. But f2f in two weeks from now
15:28:05 [ChrisL]
Vlad; I can't make that meeting
15:28:25 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: I will add it and we can have the discussion in CSS WG.
15:28:35 [ChrisL]
... want to avoid specs that can never move on
15:28:51 [ChrisL]
Vlad: can you express the majority opinion here
15:29:06 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: all sides will be well represented
15:29:40 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: Chris could write up a proposed revision to mark it as at risk
15:29:45 [ChrisL]
ChrisL: sure
15:30:01 [ChrisL]
action Chris to propose at-risk woding
15:30:01 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-77 - Propose at-risk woding [on Chris Lilley - due 2011-03-02].
15:30:16 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: then can propose it to CSS WG
15:31:09 [ChrisL]
Vlad: Chris and i are not available next week, and the week after is CSS so we should cancel those?
15:31:18 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: Not sure about that
15:32:07 [ChrisL]
ChrisL: will be in NZ for SVG; not going to CSS WG in California unfortunately
15:32:38 [ChrisL]
Vlad: proposing to postpone until we have news from the CSS WG
15:34:06 [ChrisL]
(we agree on timezones and stuff - CSS WG f2f clashes with WebFonts WG telcon)
15:34:16 [ChrisL]
Vlad: so we cancel the next two weeks calls
15:35:11 [ChrisL]
John: So implementors can still choose to not implement a feature
15:36:00 [ChrisL]
Vlad: (quotes from http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#cfi)
15:36:46 [ChrisL]
John: we seem to be headed towards non interoperability
15:37:06 [ChrisL]
Vlad: at-risk features are still normative and are still tested
15:37:37 [ChrisL]
jdaggett; at risk just lets us drop it later without another last call
15:38:31 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: One way to get interop is that FO header goes in a spec, and people agree on a default if not present, so there is a middle ground. FO influences SOR or not
15:38:42 [ChrisL]
... that could get us interop
15:39:51 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: One tricky thing, not clear which WG would have FO in its charter
15:40:11 [ChrisL]
... Hakon is pushing for HTML WG, seems not in scope there
15:40:22 [ChrisL]
Vlad: Maciej mentioned WebApps
15:40:37 [ChrisL]
jdaggett: That might be tricky from a rechartering perspective
15:41:04 [ChrisL]
... would have been etter to have these objections and alternate proposals when the charter was reviewed, rather than now
15:41:20 [ChrisL]
s/etter/better/
15:41:50 [ChrisL]
Vlad: any objections to marking SOR and CORS as at-risk
15:41:53 [ChrisL]

15:42:20 [ChrisL]
