Subject: 04-29-2013 Meeting Minutes


===========================================
    DITA Tech Comm Subcommittee Minutes
            April 29, 2013
===========================================
Seth called the meeting to order at 11:00AM/EST.

---------------------------
Attendees:
- Jennifer Anderson
- Tom Cihak
- Jane Credland
- Stan Doherty
- Kristen Eberlein
- Dave Helfenstein
- Seth Park (chair)
- Bob Thomas
Regrets: 
- JoAnn Hackos
---------------------------

A. Review: DITA 1.3 Proposal #13097 (Troubleshooting Topic)
   - Bob provided updates:
     > He had completed the preliminary topic 
       steps (derived from TASK) as documented by Michael
       Priestley. 
     > He reverted to the straw proposal approach to <remedy>
       (a combination of <section> with access to <steps>) 
     > He integrated comments from Stan and Kris.
     > AI/Bob - Update the Stage-2 proposal and distribute 
       to the SC for review. 
     > AI/Bob - Update Trello accordingly.
    
B. Review: DITA 1.3 Proposal #13102 (Release Management Domain)
   - Tom provided updates:
     > He has factored the medical device use case into the
       latest version of the topic. 
     > The <prolog> is now able to handle everything except
       @time.
   - AI/Tom - Check in with JoAnn re: this update satisfies
     the proposed use case.
   - AI/Tom - Send the updated topic to the SC list so folks 
     can review it before the next SC meeting (05/13?).
   - Seth noted that Rob Hannah had expressed interest in 
     a related topic, expanding the maturity model to address
     the need for providing a history for machines. Seth
     had not received an update from Rob about following up
     on this.
C. Brainstorming: What should the SC focus on AFTER the 
   DITA 1.3 feature proposals are put to bed?
   - Kris suggested that the SC poll its members to solicit
     presentations/webinars about how companies are currently
     using TechComm-related features. This would have the 
     benefits of cultivating new communication pathways and 
     of increasing interest/participation in TechComm 
     activities.
   - Other SC members expressed support.
   - AI/Seth - Volunteered to put together something about 
     the activities of their tools team. 
   - Jane asked whether there might be an overlap between
     this activity and that of the DITA Adoption TC. Members
     agreed that there was a charter overlap, but (to be 
     practical), it would be better to host the activity
     close to the ongoing activity (current SC) and that 
     being a bit proactive here would be quite useful.
