Subject: OpenDocument TC Meeting Minutes 2006-01-09 and 2005-12-19
Minutes for 2006-01-09 Attendees --------- Nathaniel Borenstein IBM Yue Ma IBM Robert Weir IBM Patrick Durusau Waldo Bastian Intel David Faure KDE Project Jody Goldberg Novell Michael Brauer Sun Microsystems Peter Korn Sun Microsystems Lars Oppermann Sun Microsystems Florian Reuter Sun Microsystems Bruce D'Arcus The OpenDocument Foundation, Inc. Gary Edwards The OpenDocument Foundation, Inc. David Wheeler The OpenDocument Foundation, Inc. Acceptance of Minutes from Last Call ------------------------------------ The minutes were not posted yet. They are attached to this mail. Action Items ------------ - none - General Topics -------------- Next Monday if a public holiday in the US (Martin Luther King Day). There will be no call on that day. Starting with the next call, a new conference line (number) will be used. Michael will post the details. IPR Transition voting should have started on Jan. 5th. The current status is not clear. Michael will check back with OASIS on progress. Discussed Topics ----------------- A11Y: Some of the invited experts are still missing. The membership materials have been reviewed for being accessible and were distributed. Peter offered to re-check the materials for any accessibility issues. Nathaniel will now go forward to organize the first meeting, in around two weeks. A message will be sent out proposing a date. Michael has also posted a Tagged-PDF version of the specification to the TC page. There will be a CEN/ISSS workshop on Document Processing for Accessibility in Brussels Jan. 23rd: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200512/msg00031.html Malte Timmermann from Sun and a co-worker of Nathaniel from IBM will attend the workshop. Also Pim van der Eijk from OASIS will be attending on behalf of the OpenDocument TC. text-object-position: Further discussion via mail (David, Michael) came to the conclusion, that we should live without such hints, as they would only be useful in a very limited number of cases. Interop for Settings: OpenDocument specifies a generic settings container (settings.xml) which is used by OpenOffice.org to store some application specific settings, e.g. concerning some rendering options that were in effect when the document was saved Should such settings be standardized, and if yes, to what extend? David F.: some of those settings could also be viewed as document-level styles Jody, David W.: this has also relevance in the area of spreadsheets, e.g. sheet-specific settings (-> styles) David F. and Michael will follow up on this topic Unique Names for Automatic Styles: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200512/msg00020.html currently, the specification does not require the name of automatic styles to be unique, for styles that are defined in styles.xml and in content.xml. A future version of the spec should at least contain a 'SHOULD'-assertion on style names being unique. Style names are also not required to be unique across different style-family, which could be a potential problem for implementors. New Action Items: ----------------- Michael: post details on new conference line Michael: check status for IPR transition Nathaniel: start scheduling first A11Y call David F., Michael: follow up on settings Next conference call -------------------- 2006-01-23 4PM GMT – 5:00PM GMT -------------------------------------------------------------------- Minutes for 2005-12-19 Attendees --------- Nathaniel Borenstein IBM Robert Weir IBM Patrick Durusau Waldo Bastian Intel David Faure KDE Project Michael Brauer Sun Microsystems Lars Oppermann Sun Microsystems Gary Edwards The OpenDocument Foundation, Inc. Acceptance of Minutes from Last Call ------------------------------------ The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes. Action Items ------------ David, Florian: continue discussion on object-position-hints - ongoing Rob: prepare start of A11Y SC - new version of PDF was sent out - ASC should be ready to start after holiday break General Topics -------------- There will be a new conference line number for this call next year. Details will follow Michael has prepared a new version of the FAQ. No one had any issues with this new version and it will be posted to the TC page. Discussed Topics ----------------- Meta Data: The first phase of working on the OpenDocument meta data model is to define a mapping from the meta data as it is in the spec now to the RDF data model. This mapping should also conform to the subset of the RDF data model that XMP is using The mapping should map some of the meta:-namespace properties to dcq properties if there are appropriate ones available. Lars and Florian are working on the mapping. The second phase will address the extensibility of the Open Document meta data facility. Michael will collect requirements for this second phase. Phase 2 should enable application developers, to store those meta data attributes that are needed by their users. The first two phases do not cover meta data statements on specific parts of a document (e.g. individual paragraphs). This will be covered in a third phase. It is not yet clear to which kinds of objects, metadata should be attachable. One might think of XML elements or specific objects, that have meaning in the context of a specific document, e.g. paragraphs in text documents. Also for this phase, requirements are still needed. New Action Items: ----------------- - none - Next conference call -------------------- 2006-01-09 4PM GMT – 5:00PM GMT
