Original Agenda

Minutes

Topic: Steering Committee chair

Jon: We have 4 votes now in favor of David as chair. We need 5 for a quorum.

MikeP: I vote for David.

(joining the meeting)

Alex: I vote for David

RESOLUTION: 6 votes for David, so David is chair

Topic: Press release

Jon: We have a draft press release at the link that was in the agenda. Primary purpose is to have OpenAjax in the news at the show. It is mainly to put into a press release various things that have already been blogged about.

Coach: When will it go out?

Jon: Monday.

MikeP: Reads well. Are the quotes ready?

Jon: Oh, I know have the quotes from Vodafone and Ikivo. I will upload those to the wiki page after this meeting. Still waiting on a quote from David.

Jon: Please review the press release during the rest of this phone call and after the call ends and send email if you see any problems.

Topic: Face-to-face

Jon: Alex, can you attend?

Alex: Probably not, but I'll check. No, can't attend. I'll try to be on the phone.

Jon: We'll take minutes on IRC.

Jon: There is an agenda now. The main reason why we scheduled this phone call was to review the agenda and make sure it is ok.

Jon: Coach, can you lead the discussion on the sessions on IE8 and the Runtime TF?

Coach: Yes.

Coach: Will anyone from the IE8 team attend?

Bertrand: Trying to get someone in person, or at least on the phone. Not sure yet. First choice is Chris Wilson.

Alex: Also think about Marc Sibley or John Harvatin.

Bertrand: Already talking to Marc.

Alex: John does DOM things and that's a big area for our requests.

Coach: Anyone from Mozilla attending?

Alex: John Resig would be good.

Coach: Can't get him to respond. Would be nice if someone could give an overview of FF3.

Bertrand: What about prototype and Ext.js?

Alex: prototype has been focused on their own efforts. But Sam has talked about the toolkit providers getting together. Maybe that can lead to something. I'll talk to him.

Jon: Coach got Jack on a phone call.

Coach: I have a good relationship with Jack, but hard sometimes to get a response. I also have a relationship with Thomas Fuchs. He is willing to do a 1-hour phone call with us.

Bertrand: Maybe try to get phone calls with people outside of OpenAjax?

Coach: Yes, we have been trying to do that. Have had phone calls with Doug Crockford and Jack Slocum, who are not members.

Coach: Please tell me of anyone else we should try to contact.

Jon: Regarding the afternoon, the first part will be an in-depth look at Hub 1.1 and OpenAjax Metadata. We have gotten quite far with Hub 1.1. The source code is working. There are demos. There is a spec with APIs. Now we need to have careful review and discussion in the Interoperability WG. For OpenAjax Metadata, far along and moving fast, but not as far as Hub 1.1. The goal is to do a detailed walkthrough and get feedback.

Jon: At the end we will talk about the final issues with the Registry in the light of OpenAjax Conformance. Yehuda Katz from jQuery will be there. He has strong interest in the conformance questions.

Alex: What happened with wildcards and the registry, such as Sys*?

Bertrand: I believe this was acknowledged not approved.

Jon: Yes. For example, dojo. would be approved, but dojo* would only be acknowledged. But there are some recent new issues. We are looking at CSS classnames and HTML attributes.

Alex: We prefix all of our class names with toolkit name and a second level name

Jon: CSS classnames and HTMl attributes don't have a hierarchy feature like JS names, so prefixing might be the only option. We might decide to approve prefixing across all facilities for consistency reasons. Just a warning that we need to re-evaluate our previous decision.

Jon: I have promised and will deliver a proposal on Conformance before the meeting so that we have a concrete strawman to discuss.
