   courtney: My goal is to have sample code that will map from
   TTML to WebVTT and back the other way and also a paper that
   ... describes how to do the mapping both ways. I've made a lot
   of progress - it won't be finished next week. I want to go
   through the TTML attributes.
   ... Andreas has also been working on a mapping and we've been
   coordinating our efforts. He's focussed on the EBU-TT-D profile
   primarily. He also wants to present his work.
   ... I've identified some areas in both specs where there is no
   equivalent, and it would be good to highlight those.

   nigel: +1
   ... Is there a good version of WebVTT we should be referencing?

   courtney: I'm using the most recent draft, which I think will
   become 1.0.

   nigel: Great, we'll use that as our baseline dated on Tuesday.
   ... Without wishing to steal Frans's thunder, he tells me EBU
   has offered to sponsor lunch on both days. Thanks EBU!
   ... I'll ask for it at 12:30.
   ... On day 2 we have a write-a-test hackathon - any thoughts on
   the test format?

   courtney: There's no test suite for WebVTT yet - my team is
   working on that.
   ... The TTML test suite covers a lot of cases, so one thought I
   had is to convert them all to WebVTT.
   ... We're also looking at it from the WebVTT spec perspective.

   nigel: I understood that Wednesday's work will be for testing
   the mappings rather than each spec.
   ... How much time do we need to set aside for IMSC 1 blocking
   issues on Wednesday?

   pal: I think there's only one real issue for discussion, which
   is #overflow because there's a difference in understanding of
   the impact.
   ... On the other ones, largely from the comments so far I don't
   expect much discussion.
   ... On Change Proposal 28 that's something I'm not sure we need
   any more. We may be able to remove that.

   nigel: I'll re-examine CP28 and see if I can withdraw it.

   pal: Without that I think that leaves Issue-339, and I don't
   expect us to need more than 1 hour on that.
   ... I'll be happy to drive the IMSC 1 issues on Wednesday
   morning.

   nigel: We also have an agenda item on our TTWG process.

   pal: Did we resolve that?

   nigel: The consensus call had an end date of Wednesday. I
   intend to raise it on Wednesday and conclude the topic with a
   resolution. So far I've heard no negative comments.



For those who are joining us, happy travelling (if you're travelling), and looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday, at the EBU in Geneva, at 09:00.

Kind regards,

Nigel
