Discussed Topics
-----------------
IPR mode transition:
as discussed in the last call, Michael moved to issue a formal IPR mode
transition request to transition the TC to run under RF on Limited Terms
Mode described in sections section 10.2.1 and 10.2.3 of the 2005 IPR
policies.
http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.php#licensing_req
The attending TC members unanimously carried the motion.
Action: Michael to issue the transition request to OASIS
Note: Upon reception of the request, a ballot will be created in which
the primary representatives of the TC member organizations will vote on
the transition. For a successful vote, at least 50% of the
representatives have to vote and there must not be any negative votes.
Everybody should make their primary representatives aware of this vote.
The vote will run for at least 30 days (depending on weekends)
Text Object position
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200510/msg00018.html
David proposed, that attributes should be added, by which the absolute
position of objects on a page can be stored, even when the object is not
anchored to the page (e.g. anchored to paragraph). This would help
applications that do not implement all the layout features of
OpenDocument to position such objects.
It is clear, that rendering a document in such a way will not always
lead to perfect results, and is also clear, that the simpler application
will need to change the document in such a way, that the object is
anchored in some supported way, if it was to modify and save the document.
There was a consensus that the idea of layout-hints was useful in
general. However, there is more discussion needed as to what the general
approach in handling such 'hints' should be in the specification.
Discussion points:
- Hints should always be optional
- Should hints be in a special name space?
- Should hints be a normative part of the specification?
- Should hints be stored as meta-data rather than directly in the document?
Action: The discussion should be carried on on the mailing list.
New Action Items:
-----------------
Michael: send out IPR transition request
David, Lars (Florian, all): Continue discussion/proposal on layout hints
Next conference call
