Guests:
Chair: Rick
Scribe(s): Dave Cramer
Rick Johnson: ivan a heads up... I will probably have to board a flight towards the end of this call, and will lose irc, so I may need you to mind the queue
Rick Johnson: lots of conversation about ISO
… the Korean team managing the update would like assurances that we are supportive
… there's been a document written
… there was some concern about approval required by w3m
Ivan Herman: I saw email from ISO trying to establish a formal liason
… we already have one
… and any liason must be formally approved by w3m
… beyond that, this whole story is independent of what we do with ISO usually, as it is not a REC
… w3M should know about it, but they won't likely be too concerned
… but it will carry w3c's name
Rick Johnson: we can tell Cristina that the BG is aware of what S. Korea is doing, and we support it, and w3m is aware
Ivan Herman: I don't know if w3m is aware
Rick Johnson: we need to have billm make them aware
… I'll follow up with that
Rick Johnson: Deal with http://idpf.org/ongoing
Rick Johnson: I only have one, which was to deal with the IDPF ongoing page
… how do we communicate where things are
Dave Cramer: I've moved Matt's spec link page to the EPUB3 CG page
Ivan Herman: the BG has to take a leading role in communication issues
… the WG is not equipped to do that
… the relationship to the larger community, publicity, etc
… and if the BG could take an active role, that would be good
… I know that BillM has this on his mind, but I don't know what he plans to do
Rick Johnson: two things I want in minutes
… BillM has agreed that we will meet every other week, the friday before the SC meets, to coordinate
… 2ndly, I had lots of conversations with SC members doing the F2F, who all said the same thing
… with the WG going, with the ISO thing almost on its own, we have an opportunity to find our voice as a BG
… so I would ask everyone what they think our voice and role should be
Bill Kasdorf: I'm on the program committee
Rick Johnson: could you do a quick update on the summit?
… I had an IMS board meeting
… it will be opportunistic to report on gradebook/edupub interoperability, so we could bring Rob in
… worth thinking about for the speaking committee
Bill Kasdorf: I sent that to the program committee, and people thought it was a good idea
Bill Kasdorf: we had meeting yesterday to talk about structure, not speakers
… we already have lots of speakers invited, and we sent out a call for proposals
… we'll have another meeting to talk about program
… but yesterday we talked about having topical sessions, with 2-3 speakers who come at a topic from different angles
… but we don't want the traditional panel with comfy chairs and no preparation :)
… we want organized, thoughtful presos around related topics
… we'll also have single-speaker sessions
… so probably a combo of 30min-ish speakers and hour sessions
… we also talked a bit about marketing, and want it to be substantive
… tzviya suggested that the ebookcraft model, where speakers do blog posts, would be a nice idea
… and we talked about logistics--room setup, capacity, etc
… the main issue was about speakers submitting presentations in advance
… and we agreed we want to see preliminary presentations, but understand they will be edited up to the last second
… sharing presos beforehand is really important for the "panel" sessions
Paul Belfanti: to fill in a few blanks
… we discussed the file submission, for the panel moderator to own that topic
… make sure there's collaboration between panelists, and avoid duplication
… and some questions prepared in case audience is passive
… we also talked about program committee owning parts of the program
Bill Kasdorf: a program committee member taking responsibility for each session
Luc Audrain: it was a good summary
Rick Johnson: august might be a better time to go light on the schedule, to go with the European holidays
… next week is july 4, a holiday in us
… we'd have meetings on the 11th and 18th
… . take a break starting July 25, for two or three weeks
Bill Kasdorf: that sounds good
Rick Johnson: Ivan, can you let me know how to run the calls?
Luc Audrain: that coherent with european breaks in August
Ivan Herman: I may have something
Rick Johnson: any objections to take a break from July 25, starting again on August 15
Luc Audrain: that works
Rick Johnson: I'll send an email to the BG with a summary, and update on the schedule, and a reminder about the CG meeting
… does that work for everyone?
Rick Johnson: anyone want to raise any issues?
… sounds like we finished the call before I had to board my flight :)
Garth Conboy: excellent
Luc Audrain: about the 15th, I thought you'd restart on August 22nd
Rick Johnson: that's right
Rick Johnson: thanks all!
