    Karen_: thanks to IDPF board members for attending, and Diane
    Kennedy from IDEAliance

    tzviya: it was good to have a diverse group

    laudrain: reading the summary, i was wondering about education
    ... did you speak about edupub?

    tzviya: we talked about educating the publishing community, not
    about edupub as a topic
    ... Ivan, Markus, and Ralph discussed rechartering on Friday

    <ivan> [12]https://github.com/w3c/dpub-charter/issues

      [12] https://github.com/w3c/dpub-charter/issues

    ivan: I collected the various items on what we decided
    ... and put up as series of issues on github

    ents

      [13] https://github.com/w3c/dpub-charter/labels/DPUB%20IG%20comments

    ivan: 1 issue is to make it clear that the new group is not
    completely new
    ... we must follow up on work already started
    ... the other thing is possible misunderstanding on epubweb
    story
    ... and there were conflicting misunderstandings
    ... some voices seemed to understand this is a profile of epub
    like edupub is a profile of epub; this is not true
    ... others were afraid that it's throwing epub 3.01 out of the
    window; this is not true
    ... this is also not restricted to books, also includes
    journals and magazines; this is true :)
    ... what is a possible alternative name for epubweb?
    ... we did not find a consensus, as all possible names have
    downsides
    ... and we could easily descend into css-style bikeshedding
    ... we could call the whole thing EPUB+WEB
    ... (emphasis on "+")
    ... may be temporary, but I don't have anything better
    ... there are stylistic issues
    ... Heather pointed us to an IETF draft on packaging
    ... it's not an alternative to w3c spec, but rather having a
    top-level name for package, then package/epub etc

    <HeatherF> [14]http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/arcmedia/charter/

      [14] http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/arcmedia/charter/

    ivan: this shows that whole issue of packaging is interesting,
    and lots of people are thinking of it
    ... that's what happened on the charter
    ... I'm busy changing the charter, you can see it on new branch
    on github
    ... the biggest problem is the deliverables and milestones
    ... i hope a new draft will be available on Tuesday or
    Wednesday
    ... and I really really really really really really want
    comments
    ... tzviya, did I forget anything?

    tzviya: I'd cut down on number of issues, and focus on big
    ones, like packaging, identifiers, pagination
    ... not everything we work on will be in charter, as they fall
    under bigger issues
    ... we'll have milestones and even deadlines

    <ivan>
    [15]https://rawgit.com/w3c/dpub-charter/post-f2f/index.html
    current draft

      [15] https://rawgit.com/w3c/dpub-charter/post-f2f/index.html

    ivan: this is the current draft
    ... Does HeatherF have any comment on IETF work?

    <pkra> take the red pill.

    HeatherF: the arcmedia group is still mostly getting started, a
    good time to get engaged
    ... the next ietf meeting is July in Prague; most work is done
    on mailing lists

    ivan: will you be there?

    HeatherF: Yes

    ivan: that will be interesting!

    tzviya: I wanted to stress is that this the point where we
    decide what we're doing for the next two years
    ... this is the soul-searching moment
    ... speak now!
    ... or else.

    [mysterious beep]

    <HeatherF> I haven't had a chance to review the latest text,
    but I have it on my list for this week.

    <tzviya>
    [16]https://www.w3.org/dpub/IG/wiki/Functional_Requirements#Fun
    ctional_Requirements_for_Packaging_Spec

      [16] 
https://www.w3.org/dpub/IG/wiki/Functional_Requirements#Functional_Requirements_for_Packaging_Spec

    tzviya: We need to start to put together functional
    requirements for various things
    ... I wrote up some functional requirements for packaging,
    dauwhe added a few comments
    ... [reading from requirements]

    ivan: I don't understand "multiple methods of navigation"

    tzviya: in addition to trad toc, we need a list of tables, etc
    ... might not be part of packaging, or something you build out
    of ARIA

    HeatherF: with regards to no file size limitations, I thought
    we decided the operating systems may be the problem
    ... so I'm not sure if we can do anything

    brady_duga: at the end of the day it's nice to say there's no
    file size limits
    ... i've seen 600k CSS files, but we handle it slowly
    ... we can't handle arbitrarily large content, in practice
    there will be limits
    ... in terms of zip, reading systems must support zip 64
    ... if you give me a book larger than zip64 limit, I refuse to
    process
    ... so I don't thing there's a serious limit in epub today

    tzviya: how would you modify the file size comment

    brady_duga: saying there's no limit is impossible because
    physics
    ... a really huge limit is fine
    ... any limit we set today will be meaningless in five years

    tzviya: does that work for you

    HeatherF: I'm sad we can't just say, "Don't be stupid!"

    <HeatherF> :-)

    tzviya: anything else, brady?

    ivan: there's a minor thing
    ... maybe we want to add possibility of heirarchy
    ... you already do this in edupub

    tzviya: I'll add this

    ivan: the other thing is more complicated

    ivan: I sent an email a few hours ago, early in the U.S.
    morning
    ... we have a separate issue in fragmentation, but the problem
    is interrelated
    ... [fragment IDs, unrelated to layout]
    ... problem is with online vs offline

    <tzviya> email discussion:

      [18] 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-digipub-ig/2015Jun/0001.html

    ivan: if there's no packaging, some of these issues disappear,
    says brady_duga
    ... so first question is, do we need a package at all?
    ... we had part of that question last week
    ... we had some consensus about needing a package
    ... we need differentiation between publication as package and
    on web
    ... there are deep issues here

    tzviya: I've been in meetings all morning, but haven't read the
    email chain
    ... I think it needs to be a long discussion
    ... for purpose of requirements
    ... a package is necessary; I tried to capture it in first item
    ... I can break that into two items

    [uncomfortable silence]

    Jeff_Xu: First time for me at this meeting
    ... I have question about file size limitation
    ... even if OS can allow large package
    ... how to download package efficiently, is that in the scope
    of our requirements

    tzviya: I don't think we want to talk about specific component
    size limits
    ... things like that change over time
    ... if we say a video can only be 1g today
    ... in a few years the limit may be higher
    ... we're all in agreement that file size should not be
    specified

    Jeff_Xu: even with size limitations now, can be changed in
    future
    ... do we want to provide protocol to download large packaage
    separately

    brady_duga: I'm on queue for different reasons

    tzviya: if anyone has opinions on what we should be telling
    systems about downloading then please stand up

    brady_duga: other than best practices docs, there's not
    anything we tell people today

    Jeff_Xu: maybe it's not in scope
    ... when we download audio book or comic book it's really large
    ... can be really slow
    ... or maybe some other group should talk about this

    brady_duga: this is covered by streamable and random access

    Jeff_Xu: yes

    tzviya: OK

    brady_duga: do we need a packaging format? in some sense the
    answer is yes
    ... we have one today
    ... the question is, other than for portablility
    ... do I need a package if I'm not transferrring between people
    ... if I'm a reading system, I don't think we need a packaging
    format
    ... we don't need random access if we're just transferring
    things betweeen people
    ... but the reading system does need to support random access,
    but that could happen with expanded files
    ... my real comment is, do we need a packaging format for
    anything other than transferring between entities?

    tzviya: more important for identity? So I can point to
    something in ten years. Maybe it's about archiving

    ivan: the whole idea, conceptually, of this epub+web story, is
    that the two cases you refer to
    ... I have book downloaded vs I have book on web
    ... there should be no difference between these two situations
    ... if book is completely online, then I agree for that purpose
    you don't need packaging
    ... in the sense of a zip or tar on a disk
    ... distinguish between physical packaging and logical entitiy
    ... the logical entity is a colleciton of files which together
    make a publication
    ... a "virtual package"
    ... we need to have a URI
    ... the discussion I started is around that
    ... I would like to see a URI for the package, and for each of
    the constituents, whether the package is virtual or not
    ... and I'm not sure what that is
    ... how that translates into the requirements, I'm not sure

    brady_duga: the idea of this uri that's the same for server vs
    download, not sure how that works
    ... are you envisioning the uris are the same?

    ivan: the identification will be the same

    brady_duga: in one case I have authority in my url, in one I
    don't

    ivan: [crickets] :)
    ... not sure what is possible
    ... if one chapter refers to another, it should not be a
    problem with relative URIs
    ... if I use annotations, and I want them to work online and
    offline, not sure how to solve that
    ... what URI do I use for annotation?

    brady_duga: your first example is not in requirements
    ... on the 2nd case, I don't know how you solve that either

    tzviya: let's make that a requirement, even though I tried not
    to make the impossible a requirement

    brady_duga: this is already handled by OCF, require everything
    to be relative URLs

    [discussion of exact language of new requirement]

    <brady_duga> Sorry, my call dropped

    tzviya: links remain stable whether publication is online or
    offline
    ... this seems more of an identifier requirement
    ... but they are linked

    TimCole: it's part of the annotation problem
    ... do we envision that a package can be served at multiple
    places
    ... get chapter 1 from server A, get chapter 2 from server B
    ... in which case the relative URIs get very complex

    tzviya: I did add this as functional requirement

      [19] 
https://www.w3.org/dpub/IG/wiki/Functional_Requirements#Functional_Requirements_for_Packaging_Spec

    tzviya: it's good there's a heated discussion
    ... please take a look at the doc
    ... the goal is to get a list together in the next few weeks

    dauwhe: will post interesting links from public-web-perf
    mailing list on their review of packaging

    tzviya: anything for next week?
    ... might be education or outreach or identifiers

    Heather: I think identifiers

    tzviya: we have four minutes
    ... any last comments?

    [explosions]

    tzviya: thanks everyone
