Timed Text Working Group F2F Geneva 16-17 September 2014

All,

The survey results [1] are now in for the TTWG F2F in Geneva on 16-17 September, to which TTCG members are also invited, with the goal of working towards the TTWG charter deliverable of a mapping between TTML and WebVTT.

The results show that 6 members of TTWG will attend every day, and 1 member of TTCG is willing to review documents and participate on-line. Additionally I have had direct communication that 1 further member of TTWG will attend, and intends to bring along some advanced work, and that 1 further member of TTCG will be able to dial-in, and a further member intends to attend in person.

This gives a total of:

7 members TTWG in person
1 member TTCG in person
2 members TTCG by dial-in

I consider this sufficient to hold the meeting and to spend a significant amount of the agenda time on the TTML <—> WebVTT mapping deliverable. Making this a resolution will be an agenda topic in this Thursday’s TTWG meeting.

We have a wiki page for this meeting at https://www.w3.org/wiki/TimedText/geneva2014 and I encourage all those attendees with permission to edit it (TTWG members I believe) to add their details, and to make agenda proposals.

For all others wishing to attend please send me any requests for changes to the wiki page and I will make them on your behalf.

It is likely that we will not spend the entire agenda working on the mapping deliverable and will also spend time working on TTWG-specific topics such as IMSC 1 and TTML 2; in that case I think I’m safe in inviting those in-person attendees who are not TTWG members to observe, noting that the normal rules for W3C Working Group contributions to Recommendations apply, e.g. for the patent policy.

Kind regards,

Nigel

(co-chair, TTWG)
