Re: New Member: The Washington Post

Note: I'll discuss with Brendan the interest of going in Estonia for presenting our work to the IPTC Spring meeting. This is also a matter of urgency (shouldn't it wait until their Fall meeting in NY?) and budget for EDRLab (or is there a sponsor somewhere for that travel?) .

Since I went independent I can't justify the expense to go in person to all the IPTC meetings anymore, but I will definitely be attending the fall meeting in New York.

I doubt that there is time to discuss at the Summit meeting on the 24th, but maybe some of us can caucus about the possibilities during a break.

>> That's fantastic news! I recently made a renewed pitch to IPTC, the news technology organization, when I saw a Slack post that Brendan Quinn, the IPTC Managing Director, put out to their membership about LPF and pub-manifest, linking to those specs and citing the Publishing WG and Laurent specifically. (Laurent used to be an IPTC member and he knows them well.) I pointed out that some of their members (New York Times, BBC, Agence France-Presse, Bloomberg, Thomson-Reuters, you name it--but not the Post, and they've always wanted the Post to join IPTC!) might want to get involved in the W3C since those things may be really relevant to them. I will post about the Post! (I'm still a member of IPTC, though not as active as I used to be.)--Bill
