RE: W3C USDL XG Regular Concall

Dear all,

you can find the minutes for yesterday's call at the same address mentioned below.

For all who were not able to attend: I introduced W3C's proposal of how to change Interest Groups and Incubator Groups and make them more open for the general public. This is called Community Group (and Business Group respectively). Details can be found at the W3C page linked below. To summarize: Community groups are more easy to join, are supposed to use Web 2.0 features, may have an open purpose (no charter), run as long as necessary and are expected to produce a Community Specification. From my point of view, the patent and license statements are also more clear because they are specifically tailored to the Community Groups instead of the generic terms that apply to the XG. During discussion, the group was positive about a transition. It would be great to hear more opinions, especially from those who did not attend. Feel free to comment on the Community Groups directly to me or to the group DL.

And regarding the doubt of additional work, I was told that the Community Specification is considered to be nice but optional. So there is no pressure to do that (from W3C side ;-) ).

Best Regards,
Kay

Dear Members and interested people of the USDL Incubator Group,
I kindly invite you all to this public conference call. The call will be dedicated to inform about details of USDL, the XGs project plan, related work, and give you the chance to ask questions about anything else you like to know about USDL and the XG. The actual topics pretty much depend on your demands. This a good opportunity to get involved, since this call usually is for members only. Please use the dial-in information below. If I missed the local number for your country, just approach me.
I am looking forward to a lively discussion. If you have any feedback in advance, do not hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards,
