editing taskforce meetings in 2016

Hey,
we have been moving fast on several topics over the past year, but it seems
like there are still several things we need to move through in order to
really get implementations in line.

So how about we plan on two meetings this year? One at TPAC in Portugal in
September and a first meeting maybe in May/June. It sounds like we possibly
have a hosting offer in Berlin for that first meeting.

Also, it has been proposed that we should move toward FPWD with the specs
we are thinking of moving forward in the near future. I think that sounds
like a good idea. FPWD does not mean that we cannot make major changes
later on if we find out that it's really needed.

Chaals sent out the below email on the public-webapps mailinglist. I
propose we respond to that and ask for a slot at TPAC ASAP.

What do you guys think?

Subject: Meeting at TPAC - need to plan space.
To: public-webapps WG <public-webapps@w3.org>


Dear all,

as you probably know, the W3C will hold its Technical Plenary meeting this
year in Lisbon, September 19-23.

Rather than meet for several days in plenary, with an hour or two for any
given topic we are considering an approach that gives more focused time to
a few important areas of work.

We propose people ask for time to work on a particular topic - an hour,
half a day, a day, and we'll have a look at how many people would like to
attend each piece.

If there are other topics you don't want to clash with, e.g. because of
significant overlap, please say so.

We will have to reserve the physical spaces by the end of this month, which
means while we might be able to shuffle individual meetings a bit, we need
to know pretty soon what sort of meetings we should be trying to
accommodate.

We anticipate having a plenary session on the final day, which will mostly
be a quick wrap on what happened for each group that met, and a quick
run-down of all the other work we have - much as webapps has traditionally
done at the *start* of its TPAC meetings in the past.

As well as feedback on what meetings you think you will need, we of course
appreciate feedback on the plan itself.

As a reminder, we can organise meetings on topics throughout the year,
although we try to give at *least* 8 weeks notice so people can plan ahead.
Feel free to contact the chairs or team contacts and ask for help
organising a meeting. It's not that hard, but getting the basics right
helps everyone.

cheers

Chaals (for the chairs)
