ScribeNick: karlcow
05:51:54 [krit]
topic: Publish current status of SVG https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/938

05:52:51 [karlcow]
Carine: We do not have current editors in the WG. All the previous ones are gone.
05:53:02 [karlcow]
Krit: I'm still an editor.
05:53:19 [karlcow]
Carine: we should remove the previous editors apart of grit.
05:53:33 [karlcow]
S/grit/Dirk/
05:54:09 [karlcow]
Carine: I will probably need help to republish the spec, and check if it's in the right format.
05:54:43 [karlcow]
Krit: the publishing will be a copy/paste operation.
05:56:29 [karlcow]
Karl: Should we coordinate in Kobe to move the spec to bikeshed/respec?
05:57:29 [karlcow]
Krit: I do not mind any format. For respec, there will be more work after which defeats the purpose of automatic publication.
05:58:45 [karlcow]
Carine: I will ask around if they use Respec for multipage.
05:59:18 [karlcow]
Krit: Let's see if we can move forward for publishing a new version as-is today
05:59:33 [karlcow]
... who should be added as editors from Microsoft?
06:00:38 [karlcow]
... Someone from Microsoft will be defined.
06:03:53 [karlcow]
RESOLVED: Vinay @@, Karl Dubost should be added/listed as spec editors.
06:04:16 [karlcow]
Carine: Should we republish as a CR or a WD or a snapshot.
06:04:30 [karlcow]
... did we have substantial changes?
06:04:56 [karlcow]
Karl: We went back to some ways of SVG 1.1
06:05:06 [karlcow]
Carine: This should not have impact on IPR.
06:05:27 [karlcow]
... the process has changed a couple of times.
06:05:59 [karlcow]
RESOLUTION: Let's publish a new snapshot. Please object if there are any concerns about this.
06:06:32 [karlcow]
S/publish a new snapshot/publish a new CR snapshot/
06:07:12 [karlcow]
Carine: let's try to stage it in advance before the publication. Just in case we forgot something.
06:07:37 [karlcow]
Krit: I will double check how to do that. Haven't done it in a longtime.
06:08:22 [karlcow]
Karl: Do we need to modify the CSS references before publishing? When will it be published?
06:08:32 [karlcow]
Krit: yes ideally.
06:08:57 [karlcow]
... Publication will probably happen end of November, beginning of December.
06:09:33 [karlcow]
Topic: Meeting time change (in the light of summer/winter changes)
06:10:26 [karlcow]
Krit: 7:45 Europe
06:10:27 [karlcow]
... 14:45 Japan
06:10:47 [karlcow]
... 22:45 Pacific
06:11:40 [karlcow]
... Right now, we have only Japan and Europe.
06:12:14 [karlcow]
... we can keep the time as-is for now.

Topic: getBBox() - https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/1018

06:14:17 [karlcow]
Ragvesh: From blink side, we are good to go with the proposal changing our implementations.
06:14:52 [karlcow]
karl: we should change the WPT.
06:17:37 [karlcow]
RESOLUTION: let's remove the throwing part for invalid getbbox() and make the returned values be 0 for width/height and x/y
06:20:13 [karlcow]
