Review of the Editor's draft of the WOFF specification
Vlad: any comments?
ChrisL: couple of broken links, sent mail
tal: some formatting issues with code vs tt
jfkthame: fixing them now
vlad: any objections to publication as fpwd?
(none)
Resolved: publish woff spec as a fpwd
<scribe> ACTION: chris publish woff spec [recorded in
[9]http://www.w3.org/2010/07/21-webfonts-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-10 - Publish woff spec [on Chris Lilley -
due 2010-07-28].
Planning our first F2F meeting at Typecon 2010
Vlad: want to set up agenda, ensure we are all on same page for next
steps and work items
ChrisL: marking up testable assertions in the spec to check off the
test suite
vlad: good idea
<cslye> +1
Vlad: conformance document is a deliverable, not sure if its a
separate doc or part of woff spec
ChrisL: we can do it either way
Vlad: in my opinion, for test suite to be succesful we need some
fonts to serve. although its for any sfnt format, for test purposes
at least one format that must be supported is needed
... dont need to make a decision now but discuss at f2f
christopher: providing fonts, or specifying a mandatory format?
Vlad: both
... need so me fonts converted to woff and converted back; some text
to have woff applied
cslye: so open licensed fonts?
Vlad: need not be a commercial quality font for testing. but we need
a mandatory format, for conformance and for testing
ChrisL: obvious answer is Opentype
Vlad: obvious but never mentioned
ChrisL: so a separate spec could say you must support css3, woff,
opentype in woff, etc
cslye: so a format is required for conformance testing?
Vlad: and for interoperability.
... woff on its own, format agnostic, does not give interop
sergeym: would expect this to be a spec requirement. should not
require opentype support
Vlad: we can discuss more at f2f.
... ok lets think about and bring informed opinions to the f2f
<sergeym> I actually meant this should be test suite prerequisite,
not part of the WOFF spec.
Vlad: for f2f meeting we need to establish a work plan, most
important part is identifying people responsible to do items of work
... so please review the set of deliverables, look for areas you can
contribute
... we have a woff calidator that can be contributed by tal
tal: requires some work, but pretty far along
ChrisL: happy to take lead on test suite
Vlad: good to agree an agenda for f2f
ChrisL: good to start the list of implementations on the wiki so its
ready to discuss at f2f
Vlad; need to review spec and identify testable assertions
Vlad: please add your own implementations
cslye: also implementations from outside the group
Vlad: can publicise on www-font
public outreach strategy
Vlad: good to get public attention along with fpwd to get good
review
... may also get contributors outside the wg
... publicity is good
<scribe> ACTION: chris to ask about a press release [recorded in
[10]http://www.w3.org/2010/07/21-webfonts-minutes.html#action02]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-11 - Ask about a press release [on Chris
Lilley - due 2010-07-28].
Vlad: aim is to get lots of comments
... assume we will use opportunities at typecon. tal, you were
willing to make a presentation?
... john, you mentioned also w3c development process, is that
useful?
john: a brief overview
... what 'web standard' means
ChrisL: panel is which day?
cslye: last i heard from tammye was friday
vlad: not everyone can stay til sunday
<John> John said that, not me. (Last I heard...")
ChrisL: css wg meeting starts on monday so i will leave saturday
evening
cslye: presentation materials for typecon - hard copy?
<cslye> That was me. :)
vlad: good to have slides etc and to view at f2f beforehand
... once conference program is known we will have a better idea
cslye: up in air, but expecting a substantial block of time for
webfonts panel, may include some background presentation time
... followed by open discussion.
John: who is moderating the panel?
... good to get the participants to discuss beforehand, well worth
doing, meet on Thursday
cslye: agree
Vlad: been asked if public can be present at f2f meeting. not sure
if they can join
... we operate in public so it should be ok
ChrisL: observers or contributors?
Vlad: observers
ChrisL: that is fine if we agree to it
cslye: early, so many folks not around.
... not heard anything more about using the space
(adjourned)
Vlad: probable regrets next week, travelling
