Vibration API

PR review period completed (20 Jan 2015), next step is REC.

fjh: transition request has been made

anssik: thanks for helping with publication

fjh: thanks for the quick editing and resolving the potential issues cleanly

<scribe> ACTION: fjh to check on process for publishing REC, does group need to prepare snapshot [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2015/01/22-dap-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-726 - Check on process for publishing rec, does group need to prepare snapshot [on Frederick Hirsch - due 2015-01-29].

fjh: I believe the team handles this entirely, but will confirm

Audio Output Devices API (Media Capture TF)

Please respond to CfC to publish FPWD

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2015Jan/0020.html

fjh: assume there are no concerns

gmandyam: discussed at TPAC, no issues at this point
... needs to be way of targeting different capture devices when multiple are attached, thus more applicable to PC not handset

Wake Lock API

CfC to publish FPWD completed: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2015Jan/0022.html

Open CfC for WD publication: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2015Jan/0014.html

fjh: we have agreed to publish FPWD but waiting to agree on WD publication method for doing so
... this should use automation and forms to simplify WD publication, reducing team and editor work and allowing more frequent WD updates
... will try with one spec first, since this is new and we need to see how well it works
... my understanding is that not every ED becomes a WD, rather the editor initiates the process when ready

… so in some sense not that different from current practice

anssi: are other groups using this

fjh: webapps has agreed to try with one spec, but this is new

anssi: want to try once ready

fjh: please comment on list if any concerns with spec

Generic Sensor API

Reviewed in November, see https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2014Nov/0018.html

Dom followed up by creating Repo, Tobie populated with initial proposal from Rick.

<anssik> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2015Jan/0029.html -> Tobie's status update re Generic Sensor API

fjh: asked about status, Tobie responded on list, discussion is happening on git, he will send a summary
... status of Tim and Boris joining DAP

<scribe> ACTION: anssik to contact Tim and Boris re joining DAP [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2015/01/22-dap-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-727 - Contact tim and boris re joining dap [on Anssi Kostiainen - due 2015-01-29].

anssi: both are at Google, already a member

gmandyam: shouldn’t git discussion be on WG public list, not on github issues list

fjh: agree, general discussion should be on public list

gmandyam: how to get transferred over to list

fjh: it would be better on the public list, will respond to Tobie also mention it to Dom

anssik: discussed this with team, not concern with that team member
... however concerned about forking discussion

fjh: we can handle this in a social manner, should happen naturally as this comes together
... we want to be inclusive of the entire DAP WG membership, not have subset of group make decisions independently

gmandyam: do not want to revisit issues later by having clear procedures up front

<scribe> ACTION: fjh to discuss github issue process with Dom [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2015/01/22-dap-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-728 - Discuss github issue process with dom [on Frederick Hirsch - due 2015-01-29].

fjh: it is great that Tobie notified us of the status and offered to create a summary, that should be very helpful

proposed action, update test case to clarify manual steps in testing , see https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2015Jan/0012.html (Anssi)

fjh: is this your understanding as well, that we make no change to spec, and update test case to clarify manual tests

anssik: yes

… lots of manual tests elsewhere

… will ask owner to update test information, and will also update tests and produce results

<scribe> ACTION: zhiqiang to update test case to clarify manual testing and to run tests and update results related to ACTION-723 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2015/01/22-dap-minutes.html#action04]

fjh: anssi can you please talk with Zhiqiang and discuss this action with him

anssik: yes

Implementation updates? Battery, Proximity

fjh: any new implementation work

anssik: expect generic sensor api work to influence proximity, so should not try to advance this

… battery - are in good shape

fjh: only have one implementation

anssik: have chrome, mozilla implementation being updated

… should get more info through mozilla update

<anssik> https://bugzil.la/1047119 -> Mozilla's Bug 1047119 - Update Battery Status API to match the latest spec

anssik: this now has an owner, which should be positive, however not clear on the timeline

… marcos is test coordinator, not sure he is available, need to check tests on this

… can ask Zhiqiang to see if can help

<scribe> ACTION: anssik to ask Zhiqiang to update the Battery test suite to match latest Battery Spec (coordinating with marcos) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2015/01/22-dap-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-730 - Ask zhiqiang to update the battery test suite to match latest battery spec (coordinating with marcos) [on Anssi Kostiainen - due 2015-01-29].

fjh: it would be good to complete battery, perhaps before mid year, but we do not have control or visibility into Mozilla schedule

Other Business

fjh: an update on Cordova would be helpful to the group, perhaps by email

edna_morales: I can check into this with Lisa

Next call will be 5 Feb

Adjourn
