01:33:56 [kmag]

The hangouts link doesn't seem to be working for me.

01:34:23 [Florian]

Weird, it does for me. Let me try and invite you

01:34:56 [kmag]

I just get a black screen

01:35:39 [Florian]

Calling you.

01:48:11 [Florian]

Present: Florian Rivoal, Kris Maglione, Andy McKay

01:48:33 [Florian]

Scribenick: Florian

01:49:28 [Florian]

Florian: Given the limited attendance, this will be a short meeting.

01:49:55 [Florian]

Florian: I presume there wasn't a long enough notice for people to set aside time to join

01:50:09 [Florian]

Florian: and Mike had a last minute conflict

01:51:12 [Florian]

Florian: There's just two points I'd like to briefly touch on anyway.

01:51:19 [Florian]

Topic: Native messaging

01:51:59 [Florian]

Florian: There have been discussions on the Mailing list about whether and when we should look into Native Messaging.

01:52:29 [Florian]

Florian: Given dependencies on the rest, which isn't specified yet, it is a bit tricky to specify already.

01:53:01 [Florian]

Florian: but at the same time, Mozilla is starting to implement

01:53:50 [Florian]

Florian: What we could do is start a separate spec/repo under the CG, that depends on the main one.

01:54:24 [Florian]

Florian: At first it would only be a dumping ground for issues and questions, but it could get fleshed out progressively

01:54:57 [Florian]

Florian: But that only makes sense if someone, presumably from Mozilla, is willing to maintain in, and if other people are interested in discussing it.

01:55:12 [Florian]

kmag: I think it should indeed be a separate spec

01:56:25 [Florian]

kmag: and I believe that Andrew Swan would be willing to maintain it.

01:57:22 [Florian]

Florian: sounds good to me. I can brief him on how to be an Editor.

01:57:59 [Florian]

Florian: one thing being that he should only accept pull requests from members of the CG for IP reasons.

01:58:33 [Florian]

kmag: He isn't a member of the CG himself. We'll look into Mozilla's process for having him join.

01:58:45 [Florian]

Florian: Well, at least Mozilla is a member.

02:00:18 [Florian]

Florian: Let's record a tentative resolution about getting the draft started, with an editor from Mozilla, and we can see later if he joins or if someone else picks it up

02:00:22 [Florian]

kmag: sure

02:00:39 [Florian]

Andy: OK

02:01:37 [Florian]

RESOLUTION: Start a new separate draft for Native Messaging, with an editor from Mozilla

02:02:16 [Florian]

kmag: One thing that will need to be in the main draft rather than the native messaging draft is how to deal with Ids and registration

02:02:19 [Florian]

Florian: why?

02:02:36 [Florian]

kmag: because it affects more than just native messaging.

02:03:40 [Florian]

Florian: We can record an issue in the Native Messaging draft saying that it is needed, but should be defined elsewhere.

02:03:46 [Florian]

kmag: makes sense.

02:03:57 [Florian]

Topic: Next meeting

02:04:38 [Florian]

Florian: 2 weeks from now, same time same day of the week. Would that work? Hopefully that gives a long enough notice that interested people can join.

02:04:45 [Florian]

Andy: works for me.

02:04:51 [Florian]

kmag: works for me.

02:05:06 [Florian]

Florian: Anything else you want to talk about today?

02:05:25 [Florian]

kmag: There would be if we had more people on the call, but we don't.

02:05:43 [Florian]

Florian: Meeting adjourned then.
