Sept. 26 XProc Workshop in Amsterdam

Friends,

Many of you have read Norm’s announcement regarding the Sept. 26 XProc 
workshop in Amsterdam: 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xproc-dev/2016Jun/0000.html

Probably fewer of you are aware that the XProc WG has been or will be 
dissolved. The 2014-12-18 First Public Draft has been republished with 
minor changes as a WG Note: 
https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-xproc20-20160721/

Now I did two things:

– Create an event for the XProc workshop on Lanyrd: 
http://lanyrd.com/2016/xproc-workshop/

– Post some personal thoughts on how to proceed from what we’ve got on 
the Community Group’s page: 
https://www.w3.org/community/datapipelining/2016/07/23/2016-amsterdam-xproc-workshop/

I care about XProc and I’d like to see many other people attend who also 
care. In addition, we (that is my company and/or I personally) are going 
to sponsor the workshop and we need to know the approximate number of 
attendees. Therefore I kindly ask you to express your interest by 
tentatively registering on Lanyrd.

Since not everybody who is interested will be able to attend in person, 
it will be interesting to know who’d like to participate remotely via 
Hangouts, Skype, etc. Therefore I suggest that those who will likely 
join from afar just push the “track this event” button instead of “I’m 
attending this event.”

Also, we need a place to collect discussion items for the Workshop. As I 
wrote in the post, preferably in a Github Wiki. I’ll discuss with Norm 
whether to use a new repo below https://github.com/xproc/ for that purpose.

Let me conclude by stating that I am not the organizer of this event. I 
set up the Lanyrd event and I wrote this message without coordinating 
with other people first, which I probably should have done…
