I will discuss that on monday with the PBG chairs 15:27:15 Ralph: almost anything can fit in the context of TPAC 15:27:25 ... the challenge will be times of day, given time zone issues 15:27:40 Daihei: because it's once a year, easier to gain attention from special people 15:27:45 Ralph: I hope that's true 15:28:41 Ralph: any other thoughts on TPAC? 15:28:42 zakim, next item 15:28:42 agendum 4.

Mateus and Jeff, you asked about another co-chair, someone to help with administrative work and maybe start a task force 15:32:17 ... I have found you someone 15:32:46 ... I would like to put forward Alex Grover (?) and I'd like him to start a task force on FXL+reflow 15:32:58 .... we've talked about business cases in the BG 15:33:08 ...

A lot :) 15:36:05 mateus: I wanted to ask wendyreid about audiobooks 15:36:41 ... I assume this already happened, but is there any role the CG could play to help transition the PWG into the PCG 15:36:59 wendyreid: I think we need a maintenance WG; I haven't talked to Ivan yet 15:37:08 ... but I would love for people to join the CG 15:37:21 ... and incubate some audiobook features, like bitrate switching 15:37:32 ... audiobook folx should be everywhere 15:37:37 Ralph: a spec is never done :) 15:37:48 q? 15:38:13 ... and the CG is a good place to talk about next steps for a spec 15:38:21 mateus: I'd be happy to join a call about these issues 15:38:37 Ralph: I bet ivan has already done something 15:39:13 q+ 15:39:15 ... any time we close a WG, we should point participants to another venue for discussion, in this case the CG 15:39:16 q+ 15:40:14 Bill_Kasdorf: I presume that work would be done in an audiobook task force, so you should create the task force now. 15:40:21 Ralph: that's part of what you were thinking, Mateus? 15:40:23 mateus: yes 15:40:28 +1 to task force for audiobook 15:40:45 Bill_Kasdorf: there are people in the CG who don't know about audiobooks 15:40:54 George: I heard talk about a task force and specs 15:41:13 ... there are lot of questions people have, implementation issues, best practices, just building the knowledge base in the community 15:41:24 ... can that happen in the CG? 15:42:02 Ralph: yes 15:42:15 question of George was about best practices for publishing in general (I think) 15:42:43 George: I think 15:42:48 George: 15:43:27 Ralph: there might be enough interest for a tech task force working on the spec 15:43:39 ... and a deployment task force for people who want to use the spec 15:43:49 q? 15:43:53 wendyreid: I want other people to write documentation 15:44:05 I wanted to know where education and outreach wouldlive. 15:44:16 Ralph: I heard great feedback from the Legible presentation at the BG this week 15:44:25 q+ 15:44:35 liisamk: that went well and was interesting 15:44:49 ... it helped with trying to find what else is out there 15:45:13 ... we skated around business model questions 15:45:25 q+ 15:45:26 ... they invited us to help them test, because it's not released 15:45:40 ...
