Subject: Fwd: XLIFF TC Meeting Minutes - 05/08/2014
Dear Dr. David,
I have pasted my notes herewith. Kindly verify the list of regrets before publishing.
Thank you,
Kind Regards
Asanka
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regrets: Y, L , U
B:
- We’ve nothing urgent to achieve from XLIFF TC side;
- We need to prepare ourselves for XLIFF 2.1
DF:
- Roll Call: H, DW, DF, S, B, A, (Fx, M = Not voters)
- If one more person joins, then Fx will get voting rights.
B:
- Previous meeting minutes were cleared by a call for dissent (msg00010.html)
- Moving to agenda item II (XLIFF 2.0)
- TC officially conducts the ballot to approve XLIFF version 2.0 as an OASIS standard
- Closing today overnight, opened on : Wed 23rd @ 12:00 am UTC
- Summary: 55 votes = ~20%
DF:
- We needed 43 votes (15%)
B:
- We are comfortably above the margin; like to thank the chair and the TC members for reaching out to eligible voters
- Challenges were: XLIFF traditionally was not considered a mainstream standard, natural indifferences about OASIS standard & ballot in the middle of the holiday season
- Thank you for P&L SC and DF for preparing the list of people to reach out and doing a good coordinated effort
- The next task is to make sure we publish correct files, correct urls etc.
- We hope there will be a good momentum from various stakeholders of the standard on using XLIFF 2.0
- Agenda item III - focuses on XLIFF 2.1, there is work going on, for example ITS integration, other possible modules are being discussed, including modifications to the core
- any comments on agenda item II?
- Moving to next agenda item: XLIFF 2.1
- I will make modification to the wiki: to track proposal with issue tracker etc. We'll go over these in detail in the next meeting;
- Criteria for moving to XLIFF 2.0: all modifications should be backward compatible with XLIFF 2.0; if there are any significant changes that may break backward compatibility, then we'll think about XLIFF 3.X.
- We'd revisit the traditional meeting schedule starting from Sept.
- Any comments?
DF:
- We should start meeting regularly
- No point trying to have a meeting on 3rd Tuesday of August, but we should start meeting regularly from September
- I am working on XLIFF 2.1 template; I will commit the working draft;
- Working items: ITS support (needs architecture, design decisions); Some important decisions need to be taken
- From the symposium - we have feedback on change tracking module (e.g. add inline support), other features will be tracked in the wiki
- Administrative issue: when we were sending the spec into the final ballot, we had some issues related to voting rights; During the last 13 years we've been managing the voting rights in the wrong way based on the kavi. Official OASIS rule is much simpler: if you attend twice in a row, then you gain voting rights whereas if you don’t you’ll lose voting rights. We will start observing the official rule.
B:
- Does that impact the new members?
DF:
- Not really, todays does not count for voting eligibility; Fx cannot become a voting member, same for Michael. Affected person was Ryan King; he wasn't affected as the correct rule was applied in time;
B:
- Moving to XLIFF II.B, charter has been updated and now contains improved wording.
- Moving to last agenda item IV: any new business?
- No current business
- New business: media type registration (proposed by DF)
- Moving to P&L sub committee report
DF:
- It is great that charter clarification was published on time for the ballot;
- Please add a point about Media Type Registration (committee specification) for next meeting and the plan is to merge with XLIFF 2.1 anyway;
- Getting votes was not simple, we achieved the threshold last Tuesday, big improvement over 1.2 approval;
- We keep getting votes - and this is over the threshold;
- Many people helped, like Fx reaching out through W3C, friends at DITA, H asked IBM representatives, .. we are still receiving results as a result of pushing by Y, B, and so on
- Another working item - summary report of the statement of use - Lucia has prepared a draft and this should be ready to release by the next meeting; no Sub Com. meeting today because the vote is progressing nicely;
- Chet asked me to create OASIS standard specification as soon as the ballot closes;
B:
- Any info about the Vancouver l10n world meeting?
DF:
- We’ll organise a small symposium sponsored by CNGL, FALCON, …
- It will be on 29th Oct
- Points to discuss: advanced validation support with TBX support; how to included TBX data with XLIFF;
- I will post submission link on the TC mailing list. We will ask people to submit proposals through EasyChair
- We want to select speakers and come up with a program
- Submission link: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=feisgiltt2014
B:
- It is better to have a commercial tool maker that uses XLIFF 2.0
- Any questions regarding the P&L SC report?
- No questions;
- Thanks for P&L's excellent work
- Meeting adjourned.
