Sydney F2F and meetup

<nikos> http://www.meetup.com/SVG-AU/pages/Feb-Meet-Plan/

nikos: this is mark's initial plan for the event to run while we're in town
... this for the Thursday night
... the first night of the SVG meeting
... there's also a CSS event on the Wednesday night hosted at Google
... Alex is speaking for a long talk. he's looking for another long talk, and some lightning talks.
... if people aren't keen for a long talk, we could offer an alternative such as a panel session
... the other would be to do a collobrative talk, or use a previously written talk
... if anyone is initially keen to give a 35 minute talk (already prepared or a new one)

shepazu: I would be up for doing a lightning talk on SVG Accessibility

nikos: I'm happy to do one on diffusion curves too

Tav: I could talk on some of the exciting SVG 2 stuff, which might not make a 35 minute talk

shepazu: pretty pictures plus here's the syntax would make a good lightning talk too

nikos: how about a lightning talk from Tav, and then a panel session

shepazu: we can just split up that 35 min thing into more lightning talks and a panel session

nikos: I'll talk to Mark and say that's what we're happy to plan for
... at the CSS meetup on Wednesday they are also happy to have SVG talks
... I'll let the CSS folks know that you (Tav) will give a short talk on SVG 2 upcoming features
... also don't forget to register for our F2F

SVG 2 chapter progress and planning

<nikos> https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVG2_Chapter_Assessment

nikos: I think the main thing there is the Text chapter
... Tav can you repeat what needs doing before the F2F for Cameron?

Tav: I haven't looked at it in the last month, but I need Cameron to finish the algorithm section
... if he's still planning on doing that

heycam: how much work is gated on that that you want to get done before the F2F?

Tav: as much as possible
... my plan is to move the baseline stuff into the properties section
... (that's something I'll talk about at the meetup)
... then I'll start working on looking at the Shapes 2 spec and what needs to be done there

heycam: do you think we'll be able to proceed with SVG 2 as CR before the Shapes 2 work is done?

Tav: I've been told there has been work done on it, but I haven't been following closely, so I need to catch up on that
... what we need is very small

nikos: so we'll talk about this on the FX day?

Tav: yes. by then I should have a list of things to discuss.

nikos: it would be good if I could pass them an agenda a bit ahead of time
... so if you have a list send it to me

Tav: the biggest problem I can see is defining where you begin line flow
... suppose you have a circle, and you're trying to fill a circle with text, how do you position the first line

nikos: let's talk about it some more once you've had a look at that spec
... I have the Coords chapter, which I haven't done much on; I've sent a mail to Dirk to see what he's got up to
... there are a couple of open issues in the spec which I'll try to get done by the F2F (or ready for discussion)
... I was also going to try applying the new TR style sheet
... which is rolling out Feb 1?

shepazu: as far as we know right now we are still on track
... there may actually be a small amount of JS in it

nikos: is that to keep a pointer in the index for where you're up to or something?

shepazu: I think it might be related to the ToC sidebar, turning it on or off I think?

nikos: Cameron?

heycam: there are two red issues in the Painting chapter; one relates to the new non-scaling features, but I think those should move into the Coords chapter
... the second is a maker positioning issue and some rewording tweaks for old wording
... that's all there's left in that chapter
... I will prioritise the Text stuff

trackbot: end telcon
