Summary of working group call 11th April

Hi,

Thanks for those of you who could join the call today.

*Virtual Events*

We discussed virtual events and activities, e.g. events that don't take
place at a specific location, or at a specific time.

We discussed how the BroadcastEvent type in Schema.org might support some
types of virtual activities, but it may not cover all requirements.

Action was for me to follow up with Chris Pointon and Jade Moulden to put
together a proposal, starting with general requirements.

*Booking*

We did a high-level walk-through of some of the draft booking
specification, to identify the key workflows and to highlight some of the
open issues.

We discussed some alternate workflows and some potential performance
overheads with the current design. It's likely there's some simple changes
to the specification that can address the latter.

All of the current working documents around our booking working can now be
found here:

*Governance*

As the group continues to grow and we work on more things in parallel, its
time to clarify some of our processes.

I've already shared the document with the list, but its also now published
here:

https://www.w3.org/community/openactive/2018/04/11/community-group-governance-and-processes/

Next call is on the 25th April. We'll be discussing booking, plus final
changes to version 1.1 of the data model and RPDE specifications.

Cheers,

L.
