Patrick: please review the draft entry

[Discussion on time slots - working out what UTC slots translate to for US folks]

UI Events meeting https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iRFgqtReyomoCwZFEdRUdoW1ManD5t656CVUGJm7Xos/

plh: except for WPT, all related PRs have been merged. move has been done, published

plh: it did create some headaches. only one remaining is mousewheel, need to figure out what to do with it

<plh> web-platform-tests/wpt#57644

plh: PR for WPT

plh: up to you folks to decide when to merge

plh: made fixes to respec etc along the way

mustaq: i promised to look at failing tests for alt key / meta key. seems to be down to a bug

plh: that's for WPTs for PE3

flackr: I'd say go ahead with the WPT PR

Olli: +1

plh: don't know if firefox has additional info to disable test results into their pipeline...

Olli: so some tests used to fail before, and now...

Olli: can go ahead. annotation happens on our side

plh: need to still bypass checks for nightly stability

Olli: ask James for this

plh: have a look at the PR (Olli) and do what's needed

ACTION: Olli to review the WPT PR web-platform-tests/wpt#57644 with regards to firefox nightly stability error

plh: went above and beyond and also did PRs for pointerlock and media ones

Patrick: note that Dom filed a new issue about broken links w3c/pointerevents#641

plh: this looks like some documents/specs out there still linking to outdated links

plh: could be that it's because the pointerlock change hasn't landed

mustaq: i didn't merge yet...

plh: you can merge, i fixed an existing error there in the workflow

WPTs - group to review implementation report https://w3c.github.io/pointereventswg/implementation-reports/wpt-pointerevents-2026-01-25.html

Olli: i looked, and this looked fine. the pen related tests fail in firefox because of the harness

mustaq: the alt/meta failure is a bug in chrome

<mustaq> https://wpt.fyi/results/pointerevents?label=master&label=experimental&aligned&q=pointerevent_boundary_events_modifier_no_pointer_movement.html

plh: so...i can move forward. that's the good news. there is some bad news...

plh: i moved too quickly, and now PE3 links to PE4. i'll sort this out, nothing for the group to worry about

Feedback on w3c/pointerevents#637

Patrick: discussed this two weeks ago. think we were agreed at this point that the PR as it stands is not ideal, and we're not keen to take it up as is. making such a weird exception seems hacky and a bad precedent. more work should happen upstream at the openUI side on the concept

Patrick: no further topics, we can keep it short today. reminder to have a look at w3c/breakouts-day-2026#3 if you get a chance to add anything else that may be of interest. i'll cook up an agenda closer to the time (just basic intro, setting the scene, things we looked at as inspiration, opening the floor for folks to discuss/feed back). and as ever thanks to philippe for his help/technical expe[CUT]

h all the UI events merging.

plh: need to decide at some point which definition style you want, as now with the merge you have two different styles (table and ?)

Patrick: we'll set some time aside next meeting for it

Patrick: Thank you all, see you in two weeks' time
