RE: WebFonts WG kick-off and agenda for telcon Nov. 7

Hello WG,

Our planned call today had very 'light' attendance - we only had Chris, Raph and myself on the line. We touched briefly on some points of discussions we had at TPAC and also discussed the near-term plans of publishing the WOFF 1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. Chris is drafting a press release and if you have any input that might help him (e.g. info on webfonts adoption/growth in last two years, particular details of implementation history that might be of interest to general public, etc.) - please contribute. We're also looking for testimonials that will accompany the press release - please discuss it with you PR people to see if they would like to contribute one and please send the relevant info to Chris Lilley.

Since Wednesday next week is the day immediately preceding the Thanksgiving holiday in US, I wonder if it would make sense to postpone our next scheduled call until after the holidays. Thanksgiving is usually a holiday when people travel a lot and I suspect that many will have taken that day (or week) off. Unless you tell me that next week is actually good for you to have the call I will plan to resume our regularly scheduled teleconferences starting Wednesday Nov. 28th.

Thank you and have a happy Thanksgiving!
Vlad

Hello WebFonts WGers,

With this email I would like to officially start the new chapter of the WG activities. As you all know, the new WG charter [1] has been approved adding new deliverables and a new work item. Following this, we had a meeting at the W3C TPAC last week [2] where we discussed our first deliverable - the evaluation report for a technology proposed as part of the future WOFF 2.0 format [3].

In order to continue the momentum and to progress quickly with the evaluation report, I would like to suggest that we should resume our regularly scheduled conference calls starting tomorrow, Nov. 7 at

US West Coast - 13:00
US East Coast - 16:00
Central Europe - 22:00
Japan - 06:00 (next day)
