Re: Browser outreach?

Hi Bill

I don’t mind pushing out until you get back. If no one has any objections to that I would like to have you Bill in the original meeting also.

Hi Mike and all,

I think it would be good to proceed to have a call with Microsoft; however, I’m on vacation the next 2 weeks with limited access so I will defer to you all to work with Ivan about it. I would hope to have a chance to follow up in person in Redmond at some point later on since I’m local. Also there are issues (use of Readium software by Microsoft, getting EPUB 3 to be indexed by Bing search engine, EPUB 3 export as a MS Word feature) that may not be in scope for the initial discussion about their current work and introducing them and hopefully getting them to commit to being involved in the new WG work kicking off for Web Publications.

If you want to include EDRLab CTO Laurent Le Meur that could be useful, he’s based in Paris.

I’ll stay tuned to hear what happens and follow up as appropriate. I’m back in the office starting April 11 with pretty open calendar the next 2 weeks after that so feel free to sign me up for anything.

Thanks Mike. I would leave it to Bill on how to proceed.

I am on Paris time. However, I would prefer to avoid evening calls, ie, I would not like to go beyond 8pm my time, and I really would prefer earlier...

I don't know whether we will have an IG call. If not, that slot might be o.k.

Ivan

Microsoft are willing to have a call, I was going to setup a call for early next week if that suits for a demo and introductions. Should I go ahead and set something up? They are based on Redmond and Paris so there are limited timeslots that work.

I have the contacts from the Microsoft Paris team, but don’t want to step on toes, so if you BillM want you or Laurent to be the point of contact I am ok with either. I am just awaiting confirmation before sharing the details. They have a great team working on it.

I have followed up further with Microsoft and it turns out the EPUB dev and strategy team for Edge is in Paris France (who knew !?) anyway the leadership of that group will come to Redmond in June and I expect to meet with them then, meanwhile I am working to get them connected to Laurent Le Meur in EDRLab Paris. Ivan I will loop you into this as well.

Guys,

the only (but major) missing bit on the WG charter is to reach out to browser people to see if they have significant input. We must have that before we send the charter officially to W3M.

AFAIK, we said that BillM would outreach to Microsoft/Edge (with some additional addresses coming from Mike Baker), that BillM may also have the right contacts at Mozilla (although, based on the issue raised by David Baron & Tantek, it seems that they have already looked at the charter, so it may not be that crucial), and that Garth would contact the Chrome team. I do not remember whether we have any direct access to the Safari team @Apple.

Just bugging you, that is all…

Ivan
