Proposed agenda for WebFonts WG F2F

Hello WG,

Here is the first draft F2F agenda for our discussion next week. Please consider attending the next week telcon and please (for those who didn't do it yet) confirm your attendance for the F2F in Portland (Aug, 22) at TypeCon.

Tentative agenda:

-          Introductions

-          Review of the WOFF 2.0 Draft Evaluation report (in anticipation that we may actually have it ready before the meeting);

-          Planning of future WOFF 2.0 work items:

a)      LZMA compression specification work (this is the one that will likely require more resources so please have it discussed with your compression experts, if possible);

b)      Preprocessing spec changes (compared to MTX spec as a baseline), detailed next steps and planning specification work (will need to chose an editor);

c)       Suggestion - revisit the discussion of compression efficiency (per-table vs. per-font) and HTTP byte-range support (preliminary results collected by Google show that compressing a font as a single block improves both the compression ratios and [more so] compression / decompression timing).

-          Discussion of Adam Twardoch's OFF/X proposal:

a)      Summary discussion of the proposal (Adam?);

b)      Feasibility / level of interest / obstacles - this work item is out of scope of the WG according to the existing charter, but it is possible to update and get a new approval vote for the charter to extend its scope and include new deliverables;

c)       Possible ways to implement - a normative "OFF webfont profile" vs. "W3C WebFonts Implementation Guidelines" vs. informative "OFF webfonts best practices" (selection of the implementation target may have an effect on the choice of the venue: ISO, W3C, etc.).

-          AOB

Please feel free to suggest revisions / new items for discussion.

Thank you,
Vlad
