Topic: Review updates to IFT security considerations (PR 180)
16:11:29 [bberning]

16:11:38 [skef]
Security considerations: add in limits to the number of requests a client will make, to avoid denial of service via fonts constructed for that purpose
16:11:58 [skef]
Separate limits for serial requests vs parallel requests
16:12:26 [skef]
Garret did some testing on the limits with sample fonts
16:13:20 [skef]
Garret can adjust the values, but no one thinks there is a reason to.
16:15:43 [skef]
Topic: Issue on encoder requirements questions/issues (#176)
16:16:40 [skef]
This is Skef's issue and he's agrees the issue is resolved
16:17:10 [skef]
Topic: Recently closed PRs
16:17:30 [skef]
Garret: consider moving from an editor's draft to a working draft
16:18:25 [skef]
This would reflect the fact that the needed sections are largely in place, not that the document is finished
16:18:58 [skef]
Vlad: possibly get to the last draft by TPAC if we move to a working draft now
16:19:41 [skef]
Resolution: switch the current editors' draft to a working draft
16:28:55 [skef]
skef raises the issue of a need to point people more strongly away from fine-grained non-independent patches due to the round-trip problems.
16:29:06 [skef]
Garret is going to look into changing that part of the encoding section.
16:29:51 [skef]
(It is possible to play tricks with patch grain, mixing coarser and finer, but this leads to yet more patches to generate. Probably better to use independent patches in those cases.)
16:31:04 [skef]
Topic: TPAC plans (attendance, health policy preferences, etc.)
16:31:39 [skef]
Garret and Vlad are attending
16:32:21 [skef]
The location this year is in Anaheim so travel is easier
16:32:40 [skef]
And it will be a hybrid meeting
16:33:59 [skef]
The health policy is changing, moving away from strict requirements and letting groups decide what their policies will be (masking requirements, testing, etc.)
16:37:45 [skef]
Garret will follow up with Google attendees about preferences
17:04:57 [Vlad]
zakim, list attendees
17:04:57 [Zakim]
As of this point the attendees have been skef, Vlad, Garret, bberning
17:05:08 [Vlad]
rrsagent, make minutes
17:05:09 [RRSAgent]
I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2024/06/04-webfonts-minutes.html Vlad
