Subject: OpenDocument TC coordination call minutes 2007-03-26
*Roll Call Robert Weir, IBM Helen Yue, IBM David Faure, KDE Florian Reueter, Novell Michael Brauer, Sun Microsystems Lars Oppermann, Sun Microsystems Oliver Wittmann, Sun Microsystems Gary Edwards, OpenDocument Foundation David A. Wheeler, OpenDocument Foundation Michael: In October we said to start internal spec reviews by end of March. This does seem possible right now because of the ongoing discussion DavidW: I hoped that we would be further along with the formula spec. So far, all the pieces are there, but there remain editorial work to be done. I think it will be wiser however (although there are known issues) to take the document to a wider review and fix up things as we go Michael: I think this does make a lot of sense... Michael: concerning metadata, the SC expect to finish their draft around Easter. ... A11Y won't become a full part of the specification but rather a supplement, so there is not a tight time-line there Michael: we might be able to have the vote in committee draft vote in May. Michael: concerning schema, comment says that we only allow integer values in paths where SVG allows floating point numbers. We currently provide a regex for the data-type. writing up regexps for floating points is rather tedious... ... will post problematic parts from the spec to this list, Everyone should take a look and think about better mappings for our relaxng schema * right angled axes - no objections * calculation settings - no objections * database front-end Michael: proposal was enhanced and modified by developers and was resubmitted to us as a consensus between implementors. - no objections * new proposals... if there are questions, please discuss on the mailing list, so that we may vote on those next week * lists... Michael: Thomas suggested to ask Florian for specific statements about concerns about current proposal until Tuesday and than vote next week. What do others think... Florian: It would help to have a statement from the TC about my requirements and their relevance. I cannot meet the deadline that Thomas proposed. Especially with regards to borrowing from other specifications Michael: I think that Thomas was more asking for specific issues that you take with the current proposal Florian: it simply does not meet my requirements, which for Oliver and Thomas are not of relevance. So I think a statement from the TC regarding the validity/relevance of those requirements might help here shorten the discussion Michael: I think that there were different conclusions regarding whether proposals meet requirements Rob: I think there is no agreement on the interpretation of the requirements right now. Florian: true, this is mostly regarding my requirement, that lists in 1.2 document should work in old applications Rob: it would be wise to have a statement of principle regarding the compatibility criteria. Lars: so how do we arrive at such a statement Rob: I could come up with a draft which we might work on on the lift Michael: how to proceed .. continue evaluation of proposals with regards to requirements and try to come to common understanding... ... continue work on a single proposal since some don't believe that a consensus between the current two proposals is possible Florian: what can I provide? Michael: Thomas asked for specific examples on where you disagree with their proposal Florian: I think the disagreement is on the requirements level. ... But if there is a majority for one proposal, I don't want to hold up any democratic process. [...] summary: We will discuss which of the requirements from Florian are actually relevant to the TC. -- Lars Oppermann <lars.oppermann@sun.com> Sun Microsystems Software Engineer Nagelsweg 55 Phone: +49 40 23646 959 20097 Hamburg, Germany Fax: +49 40 23646 550 http://www.sun.com/staroffice
