McCool: aside for a typo they look nice. any other comments?
... ok published

Review API conference presentation

Ege: I am waiting for the final url of the presentation from the w3c

McCool: you could put them in github

Ege: I was not sure if I could

<kaz> Ege's slides

McCool: maybe you could ask them. usually they are fine with that. Anyhow I understand your concerns

Ege: first a do an introduction. Then I describe the current IoT scenario. Different protocols
... then I also describe different deployment scenarios for WoT
... even if at the internet level the communication happen usually with only HTTP MQTT non-ip level is more diverse

McCool: I'd mention that on public networks are limited (i.e. no broadcast)

Daniel: there a typo in silos (written as "siloes")

Kaz: it seems that some words have different fonts

Ege: yes I should fix them

McCool: I'd add that our goal is to support mashups

Ege: then I'll introduce the WoT as a general concept.
... I think to it easier to start from a simple example and then build up to the Thing Description

McCool: I have a problem with the book shown in the current slide
... it is quite old and the standard is went to other directions
... I am afraid to give the wrong idea to the audience
... maybe it is better to point to our deliverable
... I even think that this slide is a distraction

Kaz: I agree

McCool: I suggest to change Not prescriptive to descriptive not prescriptive
... Also I rephrase "can be linked" to it can be annotated with semantic vocabularies

Kaz: what about using the word interaction affordance before properties actions and events?

McCool: abstraction are good. I think that the annotation reference should be move upwards to cleanly divide the different level of abstraction

Kaz: I see that you used quite a lot "but"s

Ege: I agree here I can remove it

McCool: I agree

Kaz: the font is too small

McCool: I'd remove the content of properties action and events and then expand one of the in the next slides

Kaz: Also the contrast can be improved

McCool: I agree

Ege: noted

McCool: next slide is a little bit artificial
... thinking from a practical point view. Just use http for read and write and mqtt for subscribe

Kaz: maybe you could pick the example that we made last week for the animation

McCool: you probably check that

Ege: ok I'll do it

McCool: maybe instead of the book you can use the current slide.

Kaz: or you can use the charter page

Ege: I don't think people cares too much
... people will be overloaded with the charter details

McCool: I agree
... here you are showing node-wot but you never mentioned it before

Ege: I can remove the reference there

McCool: you could mention that node-wot is an implementation of scripting api after the previous slide

Ege: I have slide 16; I can move it

Kaz: why don't you use the main architecture diagram to explain better

<Ege> https://w3c.github.io/wot-architecture/images/architecture/overview.png ?

McCool: I think that diagram should be put even earlier

Kaz: yes that one or even the simpler version of it

<kaz> Fig 19 Architectural Aspects of a Thing

<kaz> Fig 25 Relationship of WoT Building Blocks to the Architectural Aspects of a Thing.

McCool: it would be nicer to use that diagram. Also for consistency

Ege: I am not a super fan of the diagram style

McCool: you can modify it...

Ege: however I can not animate it

McCool: you can divide the svg in different parts
... slide 14 it is better to state directly the scope in title
... is there a testing slide?

Ege: no, but I can mention in slide 15

McCool: slide 17 chage the title to orchestration or something similar
... and in slide 16 I call it scripting
... slide 17 please cite node-red

Ege: I planned to mentioned in the speech but I can write it down

McCool: slide 18 add a definition for mashup
... typo in slide 19
... probability is misspelled
... I'll add a weather service

Ege: In the final slides I'll talk about plugfests and future plans
... just to show that we are active
... I want to mention that we are a stable api

McCool: yeah enphatize that we have a solid foundation.

Kaz: since this is API conference we should mention that TD is a means of describing a network api while the Scripting API is a JS-based API for browsers/Node, etc.

Ege: thanks for the feedback I'll time to incorporate the suggestions

Animation

McCool: the animator requested feedback for its visual style
... also I ma not sure that the contrast is good, do you have news from the accessiblity group?

Kaz: not yet

McCool: I think we should mention this to the animator

Ege: I didn't understand that the first picture contained a sprikler

McCool: yeah I think we should report that

Daniel: if the animator needs more resources please let me know

McCool: I'll get back to him
... I am working to TPAC video
... Also we need to collect demo videos
... tutorial are different from demo video
... the intend audience is other w3c members
... we can talk again tomorrow
... any objection to merge PR #82

<kaz> PR 82

McCool: kaz, where should we publish video?

Kaz: I think we can put them in the w3c channel of YouTube but I'd suggest you ask Ralph and Dom about that.

<dape> Video https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/developers/

Cristiano: kaz could you please check the end slide of the video?

Kaz: ok

McCool: we can also wait the feedback from Coralie
