RE: F2F straw poll (was: ATypI and TPAC)

Thank you David and Behdad for your responses!

I am fine with having the WG F2F meeting either Monday or Tuesday, we just need to finalize the date to announce it and help all intended participants make the necessary travel arrangements. Is there any additional considerations we should take into account with regard to meeting hosting (existing schedule, room availability, etc.)?

I think it would be useful if we can spend some time during our scheduled WG WebEx time slot tomorrow to discuss F2F meeting preparation – finalize the date / location, times and agenda, etc. It shouldn’t take long to discuss it tomorrow but having it all finalized and announced on the WG email list sooner will be useful, IMO.

Looking forward to talking to all of you guys tomorrow! Please join the call with you suggestions w.r.t. F2F date and agenda items you would like to see added for the F2F. Jonathan, Sergey – are there any updates with your participation status, will you be traveling to ATypI?

Cheers,
Vlad

Ok, thank you all,
Further to my previous email, a more thorough look at the ATypI conference programme reveals that the full day of Tuesday, Sep. 13 is dedicated 100% to the typography and calligraphy workshops - no presentations are scheduled on that day:

So, if we decide that workshop participation isn’t something the WG members are planning to sign up to, having the WG meeting on Tuesday, Sep. 13 is still an option which may help with making travel arrangements easier and reduce the travel expenses by eliminating one extra day from the itinerary.

By show of virtual hands - do any of you plan to attend ATypI workshops?

Having the W3C web fonts working group meeting on Tuesday sounds good to me.  But Monday would work as well.

I was hoping to attend one, but in reality I probably end up working on my slides on Tuesday... So, indifferent for me.

That said, wouldn't most people travel earlier to be there for the weekend? :D


Thank you,
Vlad

That sounds like a good plan.
