DAP F2F 10-12 July. Scribe: Josh_Soref ### Minutes Approval [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device- apis/2012May/att-0301/minutes-2012-05-30.html][17] **RESOLUTION: Approve minutes from 30 May** ### Web Intents fjh: mounir submitted a proposal (Web Activities) ... from the list, it sounds like they aren't as far forward as they think they are ... 1. We should talk about how WebIntents and WebActivities are common and how they might be converged, a good topic for the F2F, as well as the list ... 2. We have the discussion of Contacts being in DAP vs System Apps as well as making it concrete with how to integrate with WebIntents, but are starting with Gallery first ... 3. We should get a FPWD of WebIntents published; I think we can do this before working through the WebActivities issue as it is a first draft that clearly reflects WebIntents through the title, brings awareness and possibly more participation, and reflects where we are. We clearly can expect changes and additional working drafts (and a possible title change). jhawkins: this will be my first time as an Editor ... i need information about FPWD ... i'm ok with holding off for a couple of days ... i have a reply for their counter-proposal that i hope to send off today fjh: the draft is a Web Intents draft ... there's nothing wrong with publishing now ... a minor concern is that it solicits feedback and review ... there's no reason not to ... it's a matter of how long it takes to do the next thing ... i'm of the impression it might take a little longer to figure things out ... maybe we should add a note in the Status of Document section acknowledging the counter proposal jhawkins: i'd to get feedback from ArtB fjh: i think we need to keep moving jhawkins: i agree ... i'll send out my notes today ... and people can get my opinions fjh: and you can talk to ArtB jhawkins: i agree fjh: i'd like to get it done ... we can use time at the F2F ... i'm not sure who will be attending ... i'm not sure if mounir will attend jhawkins: are you concerned about lack of critical mass fjh: it can't hurt to ask mozilla about attending jhawkins: i'll make an attempt to ask ... but i'll note there isn't an open channel available Josh_Soref, you wanted to note that dougt investigated attending fjh: anyone else have comments about Web Intents? ... i know Claes isn't on the call Josh_Soref, you wanted to note that i planned to send a response to mounir's proposal, but i'm backlogged by lots of other things ### F2F Please complete attendance questionnaire: [https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/43696/DAPJuly2012F2F/][18] fjh: it's good to know (results [https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/43696/DAPJuly2012F2F/results][19] ) fjh: please complete whether you intend to attend or not Logistics: [http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/wiki/BurlingtonF2F2012][20] Draft Agenda: [http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/wiki/F2F_Agenda_10-12_July_201 2][21],_Burlington,_MA_USA fjh: if you have questions about the agenda, please ask ... anyone have any comments now? Two additional calls before F2F, 20/27 June ### Device Storage API / Gallery fjh: there's a thread about file system ... and where do you put stuff ... i'm not sure the thread reached a conclusion Josh_Soref, you wanted to note that flat file systems do not scale well and to stick around and hold my Josh_Soref: if you are on a trip and take thousands of photos in three different cities, you want to be able to organize by city, a flat file system simply does not work ... tags may be like file folder, but whatever is done you need to organize and search does not work jhawkins: you may have seen feedback from Steve VanDeBogart ... it's just a chrome extension api ... we want to wall it off from the web platform initially ... we need it elsewhere now ... our implementation of the api is more system level than jungkee's ... i like the intents based version ... i haven't looked into it as much as i'd like to ... it seems there are different levels of permissions ... that may warrant different apis ... the gallery level being more system ... needs more security ... whereas the intents version is safer fjh: do you have a URL for the chrome extension? **ACTION:** jhawkins to send URL for gallery chrome extension to the list [recorded in [http://www.w3.org/2012/06/13-dap- minutes.html#action01][22]] Sorry, couldn't find user - jhawkins fjh: the Web Notification WG changed Feature Permissions to ... tie in with WebIDL? ... AnssiK do you know what's going on there? AnssiK: anne rewrote the spec to comply with pubrules ... and there's been discussion ... apple contributed fjh: they thought about permissions ... they added an attribute permitted/not AnssiK: tied to a notifications model ... we should not worry about that fjh: we should avoid spinning things out into new WGs ... it's clear we should be aware of permissions ... i think it's a topic we have to work through lgombos: in the case of notifications ... the conclusion is that we can't ccc permisions ... i think generally we want to avoid ... permission requests ... and favor implicit consent fjh: if we can avoid permissions, and use web intents, we should ... and we can roll web activities into that ### Deliverable Review [http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/][23] fjh: it's unfortunate that darobin was unable to attend ... he had something come up at the last minute ... for Battery and Vibration ... we are in CR and we can go to PR soon ... AnssiK are we thinking Fall or Sooner? ... maybe i should do this offline, involving dsr and darobin AnssiK: what are the blockers for progress? ... test suite ... and a conformance report fjh: thank you, we need the test suite ... and formal interop ... we need to figure out the time frame for that ... the next step is to know who is doing what and when ... HTML MC ... i think we need to publish another Draft ... we could go to LC, but i think it's premature ... we need to figure out when to go to LC w/ it ... Network Permission APIs ... it's fairly simple ... we published a Draft in June ... but we can wait ... Proximity... FPWD - we don't have one ... we had activity, but it's calmed down ... i think we should do a FPWD ... i can't remember who the editor is Anssi AnssiK: i think we should go for FPWD ... it has an issue of side-effects fjh: i'll do a CfC for that ... it's good to have frequent publications ... any concern with having a FPWD for Proximity? ... i'm having trouble with ReSpec, i'm not sure if it's working? AnssiK: it's looking fine for me no concern AnssiK: I updated all my specs to use the latest ReSpec **ACTION:** fjh to start CfC for FPWD of proximity [recorded in [http://www.w3.org/2012/06/13-dap-minutes.html#action02][24]] Created ACTION-541 - Start CfC for FPWD of proximity [on Frederick Hirsch - due 2012-06-20].
