RE: Agenda for May 16

Sorry I can’t make the meeting tomorrow. But the all-plenary and ~200-attendees plan sounds good to me. We need to do something that can be successful. Change that: must. I think that scope has the best chance of success.

And btw I’m agnostic on the keynoter idea. It’s really only a good idea if it’s the right person saying the right things. The reason I was enthusiastic about Vint Cerf is that I’ve heard him speak on that topic and he was very compelling. He would have reinforced the message that some W3C ubergeeks (don’t tell him I said that) really understand and appreciate publishing, in all its glorious history. Plus he could wear his “I didn’t invent the Web” t-shirt.

BillK re: the Pub Summit agenda items your responses in email have been very helpful and please don’t hesitate to weigh in further via email or even better via edits to the wik page at https://www.w3.org/Member/wiki/PubSummit/Program or the main wiki page at https://www.w3.org/Member/wiki/PubSummit/


You will have plenty of chance to contribute as a Program Committee member.

But the immediate need is locking space request which is based on whether we will be all-plenary or some tracks + the related issue of expected/max number of attendees. And attendee expectations relates to attendee profile which in turn is predicated on goals for the event.

So to me the most urgent thing for PBG-SC tomorrow is to validate/refine goals and attendee profile and hopefully “bless” the guesstimate of 200 paid attendees. And so far I believe the consensus seems to be leaning towards staying all-plenary. If we are OK on 200 + all-plenary then I have what I need to get our space set.

Again as Jeff pointed out this event will be by far the biggest opportunity for Publishing@W3C to do something in 2017 that is more than just developing specs so I hope we can approach it in that spirit… it is more about showing that we are not just a spec factory than about the number of people or the $ (but I also believe that the more people we can touch the better).

So any opinions on all this (even if – especially if! – contrary to mine) very welcome…
