Subject: MEETING MINUTES -- 03 May 2005 -- DITA TECHNICAL COMMITTEE
MEETING MINUTES -- 03 May 2005 -- DITA TECHNICAL COMMITTEE *** Please see Action Items and Decision Summary at the end *** ** Agenda ** ------------ - Vote on DITA 1.0 Spec Ballot -- - Jamie Clark advised Don Day that because our TC is still grandfathered under the previous OASIS process document, we do not need to have the Special Majority Vote to resolve the negative votes. If we have a quick meeting today with quorum attendance, we can still resolve to accept the passage of DITA as a Spec by simple majority. - Here is the question on which we are voting -- Do you approve accepting the specification as submitted and as passed by OASIS member ballot by the required margin? ** Minutes ** ------------- - We *do* have quorum (12 of 24). - Don Day has a list of attendees and will post to the list. - Again, here is the question on which we are voting -- Do you approve accepting the specification as submitted and as passed by OASIS member ballot by the required margin? - The Vote: - The vote was unanimously in favor (12 of 12), with no abstentions or opposed. - We have a spec! - Additional business -- - JoAnn Hackos raised the idea of creating an interoperability document where CMS vendors can include information about how their products conform to DITA. - Some vendors claim to have a better method than DITA maps, for handling reuse (for example), and thus do not want to conform to the DITA spec. This creates interoperability issues with other comapnies who are using DITA but a different CMS. - JoAnn will submit what they've written so far, and see what the TC thinks about it. - Perhaps we should do a questionnaire to give to the CMS vendors, and post the results. - The main issue is that we can get interoperability in the end. CMS vendors can handle things "under the hood" any way they like, as long as content conforming to DITA can be extracted somehow. ** Summary of Decisions ** -------------------------- - We voted unanimously to approve the 1.0 specification. ** Action Required ** --------------------- 022 Don, Michael -- Put together a "self-study" tutorial/demo, as per JoAnn's comments regarding the DITA sessions. Still pending as of 7/20/04. 062 Eric Sirois, 10/05/04 -- provide XSLT validation for specialized schemas once developed (Indi recommends Jarno to work with him) >>> 1/25/05 -- this will be an ongoing project; the 1.0 spec does not depend on this. 079 Don Day, 2/8/05 -- Ask Mary Macrae about several issues -- - How can the public submit comments on the CD?
