Agenda / Notes

Meeting started @ ~13:03Z.

• Ticket Triage
  • Is the following ok?

Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov
RV	SB	SS	JC	PS	MS

• Ticket Review
  • New "unit" element
    • After initial skepticism, there seems to be support for this. The main issue is whether to adopt Laurent's suggestion of @norm (and the other att.lexicographicattributes?), or some flavor of @unit, or something new. Lou suggested @si, but LR argues they will want non-SI units too. Is this just the common problem of needing to refer to some taxonomy? Or is it more subtle than that?
    • Council says yes to <unit>, and thinks we should import @unit from att.measurement (but not all the other attributes). EM will be responsible.
  • Unassigned Tickets
    • HC: I've been through and assigned most of these. The remaining ones are things I find mysterious or which can maybe just be closed with 5 minutes review by the group.
• Nail down release date / timeline. SS and SB are the release technicians. Add issues to https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/milestone/3
  • JC has added a bunch of his assigned issues to this milestone to encourage him to do as many as possible before then. He’ll remove those he doesn’t get to just before we ‘freeze’ changes. ;-)
  • SB & SS have agreed on:
    • Refrigeration starts: Mon 06-26
    • Freeze starts: Mon 07-03
    • Release day: Mon 07-10
  • Reminder: refrigeration= prose open for modification, only urgent changes to schemas; freeze= only urgent changes to prose, no changes to schemas except release blockers
• SIG proposal “GraphTechnologies [Note: I'd find it very interesting to have a SIG on "Graph Technologies". But in my opinion, the goals of the SIG should be expanded, e.g.(+) as far as I understand, the proposal is to model TEI 1:1 in graphs. Another approach is to extract statements from TEI, model these statements in RDF -> LOD. I would be happy to see that represented through the SIG as well (+) and I agree with James that the SIG should take the existing graphs/networks/tree module into account, take position on it, probably work on improving it, etc.] [Note: I agree with Martina. ;-)]”
  • HC has emailed Andreas that Council approves the SIG, with some caveats and recommendations. Have not heard back yet. Council members should feel free to comment on the linked document.
• Lou would appreciate any further feedback on his evolving document about TEI Conformance (http://lb42.github.io/W/conformance.html)
• MT asks about https://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/publishingcoops
  • HC is involved in this, so if you have questions, ask!
  • MT thinks that TEI and TEI PM is worth championing if anyone’s involved in these cooperatives and MT personally and eXist would be interested in partnering where suitable, not just for the future implementations but in the initial planning stages
• Jenkins-oxford.tei-c.org: This is down owing to a security upgrade, since it will disappear in August, JC says he isn’t going to put it back up. (We are all using jenkins.tei-c.org which is jenkins-victoria.tei-c.org.) He will be archiving stuff on tei.it.ox.ac.uk somewhere before he disappears from Oxford in August.
• Meeting ended @ ~14:18Z.
