Co-chair meeting minutes: April 18, 2023

In-person meeting, MOLA Conference, Berlin, 2 June 2023

We are looking forward to seeing as many community group members as possible at our in-person meeting at the MOLA Conference in Berlin on Friday 2 June 2023. Adrian and Daniel will be present and will be participating in a panel discussion along with representatives of other music software manufacturers immediately before our meeting, and we would love to see you there.

Registration to attend the MOLA Conference and the Tech Fair closes this week, on 21 April 2023, so please don’t delay if you intend to come along.

We would also love to have an idea about how many people plan to attend, so if you are going to attend, either in-person or online, please complete this form. We will share more details about the agenda in the coming weeks, but as usual, if you have any agenda items you would like to propose, please let us know. The form also includes a space to include a link to your project(s) that use technologies and standards maintained by the CG, and we would love to shine a light on these projects, including giving you the opportunity to give a short presentation on your project at our meeting.

MNX

Adrian has (very nearly) completed a first draft of migrating the existing MNX examples into JSON. You can click on any of the key names in the JSON examples to move directly to the documentation for that key. One example (organ layout) remains to be completed, and some more of the original text from the specification needs to be moved over to the new JSON version.

During this process, Adrian has collected a number of specific open questions about how the conversion from XML to JSON has affected specific elements, and he will open new GitHub discussions to prompt some discussion on those issues.

Next meeting

The next co-chairs’ meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 25 April 2023.
