Summer period (holidays etc).

[No link]

Steven: Summer period is closing in. So we'll need to plan when we have calls and not. I will be away from the 14th July, for three weeks.

Access to wiki

[No link]

Steven: Still no reply. I have asked again.
... I see that Liam is still listening to this channel. Hello Liam!
... we could move to github, though I'd rather not at this late stage...

Erik: What is the status of the rechartering; was it tied to any other activity?

Steven: I believe it is tied to the rechartering (if that is the right word) of the XML activity.
... because we would be moving there.
... having agreed the timetable with Liam, we have heard nothing since.
... Liam did say that he would organise a new phone bridge for us on the new system replacing Zakim.

Multi-device examples

[No link]

Steven: I'm talking about XForms at a Device Independence workshop next week, so if anyone has examples, I'd love to know about them.

CMS Experts

Steven: I'm talking to a group of European CMS Experts next week about XForms.

XML London debrief

[No link]

http://xmllondon.com/2015/xmllondon-2015-proceedings.pdf

Steven: There was one particularly interesting paper for us, about defining extensions to XPath
... he had tested it with lots of different XPath based languages, including XForms

Implementation of Portable EXPath Extension

Functions

Adam Retter

Steven: Worth looking at.
... I talked to Mark Seaborne
... (nominally the chair of the xformsusers CG)
... he and I are planning a weekly call to get more activity on the group.
... His plan for a first new post is a summary of implementations.

XML Amsterdam

[No link]

Steven: I talked to one of the organisers. Hopefully there will be an XML Amsterdam late this year.

Erik: Was one of my action items to deal with interoperability between XForms 1.1 and 2.0; so there is a backwards compatibility mode. I added the text to the three functions.
... I still have a series of action items
... I sent a summary of my other action items.

Steven: You have the honour of being the only one who can still edit the spec...

Erik: Are we allowed to do a spec on github, and what would the format be? Anyone else doing this?

Steven: I believe there are other WGs using github, I don't know which. It was talked about at the AC meeting in Paris.
... I think they are using HTML/XHTML, and just committing to github.
... I wouldn't want to use github unless it was clear that we weren't going to get access to the wiki.

Erik: It seems like it would be a ten-minute thing.

Steven: True, but it may be so automated and therefore hard to deshackle

AOB

Erik: Regrets for next week.

Steven: Call in two week's time.
