DocBook TC Meeting Agenda, 17 May 2017

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Hi Everyone,

Here is the agenda for this week’s meeting.

Note that we have been discussing moving the meeting away from the third Wednesday of the month because Scott has an unavoidable meeting that conflicts with that day and time.

If any other member is unable to attend this week, I don’t think we'll meet quorum. So, if that’s the case for anyone, please reply to the group and we can re-schedule.

Also, the dial-in is TBD. If we meet this week and Scott has a WebEx we can use without him, then that would work; if not, I suggest using Skype.

Finally, if anyone has status on action items, let me know and I’ll adjust for the minutes.

Dick

       Follow up from February's meeting:  Larry volunteered to generate
       some sample cases to show where XInclude would be useful.
       
  c:  Dick: For Github issue 71, investigate to see how we might add a license
       link to legalnotice using class, info, or other existing markup.

       
  d:  Larry: Come up with a list of alternatives to the proposed buildtarget element using current elements.
       Discussed at last meeting. Larry agreed to initiate an exchange on the mailing list to look at this issue
       from a broader viewpoint.
  
  e:  Bob: Talk with Norm to clarify Github issue 72 and determine which
       sites need https and which already have it.
       Expand issue to have Bob ask Norm about getting broader permissions on docbook.org.

  f: Scott: Set up WebEx connection for future meetings.

6. Discuss how we might add a license link to legalnotice using class, info,
    or other existing markup. (Github issue 71)

7. DocBook TC representation at the OASIS award ceremony.

8. Plans to recruit new members to the TC.

9. We received the following message from Kevin Mangold. Let's discuss and send him feedback:

I am contacting you on behalf of the OASIS Technical Advisory Board (TAB). We are putting together a manual that new and existing editors can use to facilitate development of their respective project(s). We are hoping that your experience as a TC Secretary that you would be able to help provide some feedback (this email is only going out to TC Chairs and Secretaries -- you may wish to forward this to your TC for further discussion).

If you could provide a couple of items/topics you would think would add value to this manual, that would be fantastic! Also, any tips or tricks you or your TC has learned through its own development is helpful, too.

Thank you and your help is much appreciated!
