Subject: Special OASIS ODF Accessibility SC meeting, Friday May 23,8am PT / 11am ET / 3pm UTC / 4pm BST / 5pm CET / midnight Japan


Dear all,

Due to e-mail problems, my announcement & agenda for what I'd hoped would be a resumption of our regular meetings at the mostly-ratified new time of Mondays (8am PT / 11am ET / 3pm UTC / 4pmBST / 5pm CET / midnight Japan) didn't make it to the list.

I believe the e-mail problems are resolved, but not in time to meet today.  Next week Monday is the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S., and Rich and I would prefer to not wait another two weeks to meet.  So we would like to call a special meeting this coming Friday, to hopefully address a few items (see agenda below).

Please RSVP to me/Rich and let us know whether you can attend.


Friday May 23, 8am PT / 11am ET / 3pm UTC / 4pm BST / 5pm CET / midnight Japan

Phone numbers are the "usual" toll-free numbers we have been using for some time now, courtesy IBM.  By request, I am not publishing them where they might be archived.

=======================

Agenda:
 0. Approval of the minutes
  - I am not finding our previous minutes.  Only two messages from Mike Paciello, at: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-accessibility/200805/msg00001.html and http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-accessibility/200805/msg00005.html

 1. Confirm with IBM Japan, all, that this as our most-of-the-time new meeting time

 2. Conform with IBM Japan, all, which week of the month (and perhaps day of the week) we will use an alternate time, and exactly what that time is

 3. Status of the vote for making our ODF Guidelines document a formal Committee Specification (see the vote at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/ballot.php?id=1459)

 4. ODF v1.2 draft
  -Latest: v7-02: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/28121/OpenDocument-v1.2-v7-02.odt
  - We have two concerns as stated by Pete Brunet about tables - see: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-accessibility/200805/msg00017.html
  - We had the plan from our last meeting (April 28) to assign sections of this specification for review, but are missing that report from the minutes.  In the absence of that info, we will need to regenerate it

 5. ODF Accessibility Guidelines v1.1 for ODF v1.2
  - Seeking a new owner/maintainer for the document (instead of me)...
  - Summary of planned additions/changes:
   a. Janina's new section 2.6, 2.6.1, and 2.6.2;
      also add guidelines to address reload delay section 3.13.2 which would allow user agents to control the reload delay, as per http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200804/msg00034.html
     Janinan to modify the accessibility guidelines to state how common field attributes (section 6.7 of the ODF 1.2 spec.) should be supplied to the AT. The field attributes would indicate whether something were a boolean, gregorian date, etc.
   b. Peter Korn to: provide provide guidelines as to how to provide tracking information to ATs; and modify guidelines to ensure applications respond to system font and color settings.
   c.  Rich Schwerdtfeger to: add wording to the next revison of the accessibilty guidelines to allow control of the animation rate of images in a presentation
   d. Hiro to provide wording in the to adress dynamic, asynchronous updates There are several topics in the specs related to “asynchronous automatic updateâ€� of contents or values. Automatic updates should be carefully presented to assistive technologies through accessibility APIs. Documents are becoming more dynamic- async updates - some examples: linked tables, database ranges, scritping, text sections, DDE connecdtions.

 6. Previous action items:
 * Peter actions:
    - Check to see if this is a bug in OpenOffice: Address David's concern that headings were made available in an easy to discern way. ... H2s followed by H1s etc. He obtained that structure from an additional file.  Came back in an OOo update, and that information was no longer available.  Was Dave relying on optional attributes that are no longer there, or did OOo break the spec.?Â
* Rich actions:
    -  How does ODF do language tagging of a range of text?  Font attributes?  And how best to tag a string as "Grade 2 English Braille", vs. "music Braille in German".Â
    - Find deadlines for ODF 1.2; also to verify whether TC would like to see our 1.2 guidelines doc delivered at same time (in same "bundle") as 1.2 spec.
