    XLIFF TC Informal Meeting Summary
    Date:  Tuesday, 06 July 2010
    
    === 1/ Roll call
    
    Present: Lucia, Dimitra, Bryan, Yves, Christian
    
    Meeting announcement did not go through.
    So we may not have a quorum.
    
    This meeting won't count as a "real" meeting (i.e. won't count toward lack of attendance) since we didn't have a proper notification.
    
    General discussion then.
    
    - KAVI is not working it seems.
    - possibly we can re-schedule for next Tuesday? Starting at 7:30am PDT.
    - Lucia/Yves: sounds good
    
    - should we just try to focus on 2.0 instead of working also on 1.2 errata?
    - conformance: we may need to adjust timing on this discussion. Some 2.0 changes may impact the conformance clauses.
    
    - for errata: Lucia has not received data from Rodolfo (he's just too busy)
    - Bryan will follow-up or discuss this next week.
    
    
    === Symposium
    
    Lucia: 21 papers, currently being reviewed
    Dimitra: maybe a panel in the afternoon, e.g. future of XLIFF, etc.
    Yves: like that idea
    Lucia: only one day: 21 presentations not possible.
    Bryan: common theme: 1.2 too complex (Yves: and vague in some places)
     Discussion on how to make the 2.0 spec more nimble
     Maybe papers are on reality vs specs.
    
    Dimitra: face-to-face TC meeting as well?
    Bryan: would be good opportunity, I'm in favor.
     Maybe not at the same time as the symposium
     Possibly with dial-in option
     And encourage non-TC members to attend part of the session for input
    Lucia: We'll try to set a preliminary program
    Bryan: thanks again for all the preparation work.
    Dimitra: many proposals, good.
     Maybe recoding could be possible, we'll see.
    
    Dimitra: anyone has a mapping between XLIFF and RDF?
    Christian: I have some RDF integrated into XLIFF
    Dimitra: we'll talk.
    
    Dimitra: MLIF - interested in XLIFF, how to find a way to collaborate?
     Maybe important as it's on an ISO track.
     Also some linguistic info in XLIFF would be good.
    Yves: not really involved
    Christian: Who is heading MLIF-ISO activities?
    
    Bryan: there was some discussion about metadata. What is the status?
    Dimitra: Meeting with David. Metadata is very big topic, maybe SC a solution, but need to wait for internal reason.
    Christian: Dimitra has published an article in Multilingual (XLIFF and meta data)
    Dimitra: sept/oct we will know more.
    Lucia: will publish something in sept/oct (on re-use of the current metadata)
     SC: anyone interested? Yves: possibly, but not sure about time.
     Not sure if doable for 2.0
    Christian: Speaking of workflows: I was often looking for usage scenarios for BPEL in the translation realm
    
    Bryan: metadata is worthwhile topic, but not sure if I'll have time to attend.
     We need realistic timeframe for 2.0
    Lucia: This year or next?
    Bryan: work mechanism in place now, 4 approved, 11 proposed.
     Deadline is 3rd Tuesday of August for proposals of feature.
     Then we need to work on each feature
     More time than Aug->Nov
    Yves: hard to work by teleconferences.
    Maybe the face-to-face at the symposium could be a good time to make progress.
    Lucia: 3-days meeting could be a possibility maybe?
    Let's ask? Time/place? Suggestions?
    Bryan: was thinking it was for expending the symposium F2F to more than a few hours.
    Lucia: rooms are not an issue.
    Bryan: other events too: LocWorld (Seattle), TC-World (Wiesbaden), etc.
     Question should be: more than a 1-day F2F and other F2F
    
    -meeting closed-
    
    
    


  • 2.  explanation/query on availability for a *replacement* meeting (RE:[xliff] XLIFF TC Informal Meeting Summary)

    Posted 07-06-2010 20:08
    Hello TC members,
    
    I've gotten the word from our OASIS Administrator that there was a server failure over the weekend. So when I set up the meeting over the weekend, KAVI did not send a notice to the members. I apologize that I did not notice the error until a few hours before the meeting (since it has worked perfectly for the several years I've been scheduling meeting, I did not think to check).
    
    I ended up sending an impromptu meeting notice minutes (seconds?) before the meeting (the notes are reported by Yves).
    
    Since we have not met since June 1, I was thinking of trying to schedule a *replacement* meeting next Tuesday (to take place after Yves' SC meeting). Please feel free to let me know if you think you would attend.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Bryan
