Now we have the wider world saying we're all going there. Is that a reason to rethink the decisions madee about SSML? That's an interesting question to pose as such. 15:18:47 janina: Accessibility is always first. Always. Because it's a human problem. We're solving human problems. They happen first in a11y. Then, when it's stouff that does good things, then it goes to the mainstream. 15:19:27 janina: I think its a useful conversation that goes beyond a11y. 15:19:35 &me Chairing is cairing. 15:19:38 zakim, open next item 15:19:38 agendum 2 -- TPAC 2025 -- taken up [from janina] 15:20:10 matatk: I've been looking particularly at Janina's timetable for the week. 15:20:29 matatk: Under the TPAC thing in the agenda: 15:20:43 matatk has joined #apa 15:20:58 Check out the links in the TPAC section of the agenda: https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/b3d3fb17-9637-4fae-a68a-39f8f9a6719a/20251105T100000/ 15:21:14 matatk: Overview of APA sessions including breakouts. 15:21:26 matatk: Basically, what we are doing. 15:21:54 matatk: We do need to decide on stuff we want to do to fill these sessions. 15:22:05 matatk: The APA sessions, that is. 15:26:00 matatk: Some assistance provided to Msr.
