Anyone on the IRC plans to call in?
14:03:06 [sergeym]
No, I'm IRC-only today
14:03:45 [Vlad]
Okay, thanks. Do you have any comments on the WOFF2 FPWD? Any tnetative dates when the IE will support it ;-)
14:03:53 [kuettel]
Here is a link to the "WOFF 2.0 First Public Working Draft" tweet on @googlefonts: https://twitter.com/googlefonts/status/464887410694709249

14:04:36 [sergeym]
No and no ;)
14:07:15 [Vlad]
Okay, we will wait few more minutes if anybody esle would join, and then make a decision. So far, it's just David and I on the phone, I don't think it qualifies this as a WG telcon.

Topic: FPWD comments and next steps
14:17:46 [jfkthame]
re FPWD - i don't have any comments as yet, but will try to read it through more carefully soon
14:25:32 [Vlad]
Next steps: planning for the WD f2f meeting (co-located with ATypI in September?)
14:26:05 [Vlad]
Next steps: CTS planning - check the normative statement in the WOFF2 spec and ccome up with testable assertions
14:26:20 [kuettel]
Another in person meeting (esp. around ATypI) is an excellent idea Vlad!
14:26:45 [Vlad]
Next steps: review the WOFF1 CTS to see what, if anything, can be reused, with or without adaptation
14:29:00 [kuettel]
On our side, we are eager to start testing WOFF 2.0 in production (Google Fonts + Chrome M36+)
14:29:38 [kuettel]
Our approach would be to start with the least used fonts, enable WOFF 2.0 and slowly ramp up the serving (to increasingly popular fonts)
14:30:58 [jfkthame]
presumably you'll serve CSS that offers both woff2 and woff files, with the appropriate format hints? so that as UAs add support for the new format they'll be able to request the right resource
14:32:54 [kuettel]
The CSS (as served to Chrome M36) would at first link to both the WOFF 1.0 and 2.0 font files with the appropriate format hints. As we are sniffing the useragent, we would likely just start serving WOFF 2.0 only (as part of the experiment) to Chrome M36)
14:35:37 [jfkthame]
as soon as we add the code in gecko, we'd want the same woff+woff2 css served to firefox as well
14:36:53 [kuettel]
Awesome! Really looking forward to enabling WOFF 2.0 for Firefox. When the time comes, just let us know
14:37:37 [kuettel]
Background on font compression and MPEG: http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/standards/mpeg-4/font-compression-and-streaming
14:49:40 [Vlad]
If there is an interest in the WG, we can explore the possible ways for WOFF 2 compression technology to be standardized by ISO (MPEG Committee)
