Meeting minutes

Publish current status of SVG w3c/svgwg#938

Carine: We do not have current editors in the WG. All the previous ones are gone.

Krit: I'm still an editor.

Carine: we should remove the previous editors apart of grit.

S/grit/Dirk/

Carine: I will probably need help to republish the spec, and check if it's in the right format.

Krit: the publishing will be a copy/paste operation.

Karl: Should we coordinate in Kobe to move the spec to bikeshed/respec?

Krit: I do not mind any format. For respec, there will be more work after which defeats the purpose of automatic publication.

Carine: I will ask around if they use Respec for multipage.

Krit: Let's see if we can move forward for publishing a new version as-is today
… who should be added as editors from Microsoft?
… Someone from Microsoft will be defined.

RESOLUTION: Vinay @@, Karl Dubost should be added/listed as spec editors.

Carine: Should we republish as a CR or a WD or a snapshot.
… did we have substantial changes?

Karl: We went back to some ways of SVG 1.1

Carine: This should not have impact on IPR.
… the process has changed a couple of times.

RESOLUTION: Let's publish a new snapshot. Please object if there are any concerns about this.

S/publish a new snapshot/publish a new CR snapshot/

Carine: let's try to stage it in advance before the publication. Just in case we forgot something.

Krit: I will double check how to do that. Haven't done it in a longtime.

Karl: Do we need to modify the CSS references before publishing? When will it be published?

Krit: yes ideally.
… Publication will probably happen end of November, beginning of December.

Meeting time change (in the light of summer/winter changes)

Krit: 7:45 Europe
… 14:45 Japan
… 22:45 Pacific
… Right now, we have only Japan and Europe.
… we can keep the time as-is for now.
