proposed RESOLUTION: Minutes from 18 May 2017 are approved

RESOLUTION: Minutes from 18 May 2017 are approved

HTML Media Capture

dom: checking if we can go to PR next month
... is that correct?

http://w3c.github.io/test-results/html-media-capture/20170428.html

<dom> HTML Media Capture Test Results

dom: the 1 failing test case could be not applicable as well
... have to wait for couple of weeks before entering PR

Sensors API

dom: what is our vision to bring the work to CR?
... what needs to be update re wide reviews

<inserted> ScribeNick: dom

anssik: we want to get closure on open pull requests
... then we should triage open issues
... I would like to have level 1 issues marking what we want to get in our CR
... the rest would be for later versions
... goal is to go to CR this year
... [this is for generic sensor, but we would also want to go to CR with some of the most-baked concrete sensors]

<anssik> dom: what's your feeling on the actual timeline?

anssik: timeline will depend on editorship situation
... assuming dedicated full time editorship, this would need addressing level 1 issues (~30)

kenneth: there is also the F2F to take into account in the picture
... it helps with getting a broad overview of the status

alex: closing issues can be fast, but some of them have dependencies to other groups / specs

anssik: plan is to have outside TPAC F2F; but we can still have an unofficial session at TPAC

kenneth: but for coordination, TPAC remains nice even if DAS is not meeting formally

<inserted> ScribeNick: dom

anssik: chrome origin trial starting in the near future
... we would want to include that feedback in the spec prior to CR
... CR this year is optimistic - but that should be our target
... which means we should have a CR-worthy spec by the time of TPAC

mikhail: it would be nice to align spec / implementation prior to origin trial

<inserted> ScribeNick: anssik

dom: the chair is looking at the editorship issue
... after that we can get clarify on the timeline

<dom> ACTION: Alexander to take a stab a level-1 issue classification [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2017/06/15-dap-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-800 - Take a stab a level-1 issue classification [on Alexander Shalamov - due 2017-06-22].

Wake lock

[the editor not on the call]

dom: new activity, suggestions from Microsoft
... hoping to be able to take this to CR

Battery Status API

dom: two things: new activity on issue #10
... and secondly, revised CR plan

https://github.com/w3c/battery/issues/10

<dom> anssi: mounir noticed the security change in issue 10

https://github.com/w3c/battery/issues/5#issuecomment-257554180

<dom> sounds like another case where we might want to rely on https://wicg.github.io/feature-policy/ too

dom: perhaps iframed content that shares the origin with the top-level should not be restricted

<dom> " The Battery API can be used by third party content for valid reasons." https://github.com/w3c/battery/issues/10#issuecomment-308107841

dom: do we want to reopen issue #10?
... or do research first?

anssik: maybe reopening is the right thing to do
... just reopened https://github.com/w3c/battery/issues/10

dom: should be feedback from people who chimed in on issue #5

<dom> dom: also, worth noting that mounir is pointing at real-world usage of the battery api for a/b testing - probably worth highlighting to get interest from more implementors

Rechartering

dom: current charter expiring by the end of this year, assume we want to continue beyond this year to finish the current work and possibly adopt new work

possible candidates for inclusion in this group:

<dom> https://www.w3.org/TR/orientation-event/

* taking over device orientation v1?

* geo v2?

* webbluetooth?

* webusb?

* webnfc?

dom: Geolocation WG closed, had Geolocation API and Device Orientation API in scope
... Device Orientation API was not finished, suggestion for DAS to take the spec to REC
... also Geolocation API "v2" a possibility, e.g. background operation
... WebBT, WebNFC, WebUSB also would be natural extensions to the DAS group

<inserted> ScribeNick: dom

anssi: DAS WG is probably the best fit for all of these work items in terms of scope
... Device Orientation would benefit from the sensor expertise of this group
... geo could remodeled after generic sensor
... the 3 incubation specs (bluetooth, nfc, usb) would benefit from more common interactions
... incl in F2F and/or calls
... they share a lot in common (e.g. permission model, API shape) - we could learn from each other
... WebBluetooth is enabled by default in Chrome
... WebUSB is in intent to ship

https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5651917954875392

WebNFC Chrome status

scribe: WebNFC will go to origin trial in the near future
... would be good to transition to WG
... adding these to this group would also help diversify participation which would be good

<anssik> dom: that's the first level of support for extending the group

<anssik> ... if we do this, we'd expect the CG participants from the related CGs to join this WG

<anssik> ... will take this discussion to the list
