Sebastian: Is the above the link for WebVTT? Can we respond that to the animator?

Kaz: Yes

Sebastian: ok, will let him know
… next steps?
… putting it on W3C space

Coralie: Several steps
… hosting video
… Dom is aware of it
… for promotion: we could put it on the homepage of the WoT
… wrote email. Did not get any reply
… another way to promote could be writing a W3C blog post
… we would also do a W3C homepage news, and we can tweet
… w3c developers relation team can tweet also

Sebastian: w.r.t. to video DP made draft proposal

<kaz> WoT Landing page

Coralie: Can take a look
… once marketing repo is ready we can update forward

Sebastian: Forwarded email... he will have a look

Daniel: +1

Sebastian: +1

Kaz: BTW, Josh confirmed from accessibility point of view that there were no further issues

PR 110

<kaz> PR 110 - rename "getting started" to "documentation"

Sebastian: Any issue with PR 110

<Zakim> koalie, you wanted to ask for a volunteer to write a W3C blog post (if there's interest)

Coralie: Blog post. Any volunteer?

<koalie> https://www.w3.org/blog/

<koalie> W3C Chairs can log in via https://www.w3.org/blog/wp-admin/

Sebastian: Sure.. let's start with a first proposal

Coralie: I can review it also

Sebastian: DP starting with proposal?

Daniel: Can make a first proposal

<kaz> (PR 110 merged)

PR 108, Ege

<kaz> PR 108 - Improve PF and F2F descriptions

Daniel: Ege would like to mention how often F2Fs and PlugFest take place

Sebastian: Let's wait for Ege to respond

Web page

<kaz> WoT Welcome page

Sebastian: Should try to integrate tutorials from Ege

Daniel: removing intro pages?

Sebastian: Maybe they can be removed the initial logistics pages
… let's ping Ege so that he can check back
… let's create issue

Sebastian: Will ask Ege for a proposal

Wikipedia

Wikipedia article draft

Sebastian: There exists a draft for TD
… Ege did first draft, 2 month ago
… it was always rejected
… Philipp Blum helped also
… still rejected
… currently it is under review again
… hope it will work out. Not sure what we can do else?
… CM, do you have any advice?

Coralie: My own experience is similar. Our contributions are rejected also very often.
… we have to find "friendly" people out-side the group to make the proposal
… very strange

Sebastian: On W3C wikipedia page we need a backlink also

Coralie: Once the TD page is approved this will not be that controversial. I hope.

Sebastian: let's wait for feedback

Add media proposal

PR 101 - Add media proposal

Sebastian: Philipp Blum started a document to make people aware of WoT
… media, website, ...
… Philipp wanted to give some kind of guidelines/help w.t.r
… no objection w.r.t. this PR
… however Philipp is not a member/invited expert

Kaz: Editorial enhancement.. no change to normative part
… hence we can have a look and accept

Sebastian: Yes, just some proposal material

Kaz: No big concern to merge this PR 101 itself since wot-marketing is a repository for the WoT IG and doesn't include normative specs. However, wondering who would continue to work on this direction?
… invite him as an invited expert?

Sebastian: Makes sense
… works on RIOT, real time operating system

Kaz: Let's talk about the detail during the WoT Chairs call tomorrow.
… approving PR seems ok to me
