** Minutes **

Today's Goal: Complete assignments list
8:00-8:05 Roll Call
- 14 of 24 voting members => QUORUM
- See website for attendance details
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/event.php?event_id=8028
- There were at least two Observers whose attendance
was not recorded because I couldn't get their
names. If you were one of them, please email
Seraphim.
8:05-8:10 Review/approve minutes from 14 June
- http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200506/msg00015.html
- Chris Wong says he did *not* say the following.
Not sure who did say it. (Under "Proposal for
next 2 weeks") --
- Chris Wong -- Perhaps some items can be
developed outside the TC, and when they're
more developed we can roll them into the spec.
- Minutes approved by acclamation.
8:05-8:50 Assignments
- We went through the list of 1.1 requirements and
took volunteers for each item.
- Note: Only *members* can take on assignments.
If observers or others want to contribute,
they need to become a member (as per Mary
McRae's email).
- Clarification from Michael Priestley --
- They do not have to be *voting* members
- There are "members" and "voting members".
The attendance requirements to be
a "voting member" are stricter than to be
a "member". (There are *no* attendance
requirements to be a member.)
- See email from Mary McRae for further
clarification --
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200506/msg00019.html
- Thus, if someone wants to volunteer for an
assignment, we'll put them on the list for
now, and try to figure out how to get them
into regular membership as soon as possible.
- According to Mary McRae, if you want to be
a member, you can -- just let Don, France,
or Seraphim know, and we can change your
status.
- New assignments list --
- We completed assignments (though some items
had no volunteers).
- New assignments list to be located here --
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/13091/DITA-TC-1dot1PublicRequirementsWithEffort.htm
- Seraphim has Action Item to fill in the names
- If you volunteered for an assignment:
- Fill out the definition template for your
assignment:
- Template located here:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/13184/IssueNumberXX%28template%29.zip
- Name your completed templates like this:
IssueNumberXX.dita
- Post your completed templates to the
Drafts area of the DITA TC:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/documents.php
- The writeup *must* include a time estimate.
- Next meeting:
- For each assignment that has been written up,
we will take a vote to decide whether or not
to proceed.
- If the assignment is approved, we will put
it into the schedule.
- We will also determine if the item is
a "must have" or a "nice to have", based
on the number of tallies received for that
item.
- We'll build an overall schedule based on
this approach. We'll use the "must
have"/"nice to have" to prioritize, if
needed.
8:50-8:55 Announcements, opens
- Please send your tallies of additional "top five"
requirements to the TC List by EOD 24 June 2005.
