XProc Agenda 25 Mar 2015

Meeting 267.

The XML Processing Model (XProc) WG will meet on Wednesday, 25 Mar 2015 at 10:00a EDT (07:00a PDT, 14:00UTC) for one hour on the W3C Zakim Bridge, +1-617-761-6200 (or via SIP), passcode 97762# ("XPROC").

Note: W3C teleconferences are scheduled on "Boston local time" and the United States moves to daylight savings time on Sunday, 8 Mar 2015. I believe that British Summer Time and European Summer Time both begin on Sunday, 29 Mar 2015. That means this call will be one hour earlier on 11, 18, and 25 Mar in those locales and will shift back to its “normal” time on 1 Apr 2014. (No fooling!)

XProc uses the #xproc IRC channel on irc.w3.org:6665 (or via the web interface). The IRC channel is used for managing agendas, minutes, and other aspects of the teleconference, so please join us there if at all possible.

See the XProc WG page for pointers to current documents and other information. If you have additions to the agenda, please email them to the WG list before the start of the telcon.
