Hello, Dick,
I found out that Webex somehow grabbed all the audio devices on my laptop so it was using the headset, as well as the speaker and microphone built into the laptop
and beating on a very low frequency, cutting out things when phasing was exactly right. Not a problem I have run into in the past, but the Windows audio model is somewhat confusing to me. In Skype, there is a specific setting to use a specific audio device
and I set it up so long ago I didn’t remember doing so. I think I have resolved the issue (although I will have to connect to a Webex system to test it). I will read up on Webex before the next meeting.

I had actually looked at the type question and wanted to discuss it. Basically, the request represents a valid model for many programming languages that can
accept as well as return more than one type. I can elaborate at the next meeting (assuming I am not in a court room listening to dueling attorneys – isn’t there a banjo vs. guitar song about that?). I’ll write up something with examples if I can’t make the
meeting.
Regards,
Larry Rowland

6. Future of DocBook
No major changes in the near future.
Some discussion about Markdown/AsciiDoc. We don't see an immediate need for the TC
to address simplified markup languages for DocBook.
Bob: should we consider promoting DocBook more strongly, esp. since assemblies provide good
support for modular methodologies.
Scott: worthwhile to do some promotion
Scott: we should consider support to deliver DocBook content to augmented reality platforms.
Scott: there is an augmented reality committee at OASIS, which is still in early stages and moving slowly.
Scott: possibly add hooks/metadata that would make it easier to integrate content into AR systems.
TC agreed that we will keep an eye on these standards and projects.
Scott: we may also want to consider delivery to eLearning platforms.
Scott is on the DITA TC eLearning subcommittee, so he will keep an eye on that work.
Here are a few links related to AR and eLearning:
