Meeting minutes

Direct from irc because the robots weren't yet awake. Tl;dr due dilligence
w/legal takes time, Vlad is going to pursue a draft charter.

07:14 RSheeter: Vlad: Test issue is resolved, it's just a bad test
07:17 RSheeter: Vlad: and NOW welcome to the wooorld of the future!
07:17 RSheeter: Vlad: Monotype & Google are happy to proceed with The
Project Formerly Known as Streaming and let the IP breathe free
07:18 RSheeter: KenLunde: Adobe is still doing it's due dilligence w/legal
07:20 RSheeter: Vlad: (implications of commitment wrt W3C IP policy)
07:21 KenLundeADBE: (BTW, I need to drop off at 30 minutes past the
hour—about 10 minutes from now—so that I can drive my daughter to school.)
07:25 RSheeter: Vlad: What about Adobe and Microsoft?
07:26 RSheeter: (both: doing due dilligence still)
07:26 KenLundeADBE: s/Adobe/Apple/
07:27 RSheeter: Oops. Can't handle words pre-coffee.
07:27 RSheeter: ned: it would be helpful to have a clearer picture of what
we want to do
07:27 RSheeter: vlad: maybe that's a preliminary charter
07:29 KenLundeADBE: I am dropping off in a minute or two.
07:31 RSheeter: vlad: initial discussion was of a "blessed" js library for
font things, potentially more APIs to interact w/browser
07:33 RSheeter: rsheeter: we're eager to see a fully baked into browser
solution, e.g. this font-face says "stream from here" and the browser
handles it w/o having to deliver any js to client
07:33 RSheeter: vlad: (but ofc details largely tbd)
07:36 RSheeter: present+
07:36 RSheeter: vlad: sounds like a draft charter is our next step
