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