Face-to-face meeting notice and agenda

Hello all,

The WebFonts WG will have its next face-to-face meeting on October 11 starting at 1:00 pm (coinciding with the ATypI conference) at the following location:
Google Amsterdam, Claude Debussylaan 34, 1082 MD Amsterdam (for map and directions from ATypI venue hotel see http://goo.gl/o5tAEP).

Google made a generous offer to serve lunch for the meeting attendees, if you plan on joining the WG for lunch please arrive by 12:00 pm (optional) - thank you Google for hosting the meeting!

Agenda for the meeting:

-          Introductions

-          Review the draft WOFF 2.0 Evaluation Report;

-          Updates on the new compression technology:

comparison of the compression gains,

compression / decompression timing,

codec / algorithm changes,

available documentation, etc.

-          Decide on the final home for the compression spec work and how to proceed.

-          Planning WOFF 2.0 specification work (both for the pre-processing spec and the new compression):

estimated timeline / deliverables, etc.

-          If possible (i.e. if we have compression data to rely on) - revisit the discussion on "per table" vs. "per font" compression (HTTP byte range support, cost/benefit analysis, etc.).

-          Time permitting - revisit the discussion about top level media type for fonts and whether / how to proceed.

-          AOB

The meeting is tentatively scheduled to run until 8:00 pm, the video conferencing will be available for remote participants to join the meeting. We will also be using the IRC channel (#webfonts, irc://irc.w3.org:6665/webfonts or http://irc.w3.org/?channels=webfonts), and W3C Zakim conference bridge may be available if needed.

Please respond to this email confirming your attendance and whether you plan to join in person or via AV / Hangouts (if latter, please provide your preferred email contact information for Hangouts invitation).

If any of you are planning to invite someone as an observer for the meeting - please send me the names and email for people who require an observer status. FYI - John Giannopoulos from Monotype (who some of you have met at the previous F2F meeting in Portland) has asked to be an observer for the F2F meeting.

Thank you,
Vladimir
