RFC: TPAC meeting structure

[LJWatson]

WebApps will meet on the Thursday and Friday of TPAC week (16 to 20 September 2019).

To make the most of our time together, we're proposing an unconference style structure for the two days. The unconference sessions can be whatever we want them to be; work groups for a particular specification or workshops on things like writing tests or using Respec for example.

Please let us know what you think of the following outline.

Thursday 19 September

• 9:00am Welcome, introductions and administrivia
• 9:30am Specification status reports (Editors):
  • What progress has your spec made in the last year?
  • Is anything blocking your spec from moving to CR?
  • If there is a blocker, what is your plan for unblocking and how can the Chairs/WG help?
  • What do you want to achieve over the next two days?
  • Is there anyone in the room you want to co-ordinate with and/or anything you want to learn about?
• 10:45am Break
• 11:15am Unconference logistics
• 11:45am Unconference sessions (Everyone)
  1:00pm Suggested lunch break
  2:00pm Unconference sessions resume
  3:30pm Suggested break
  4:00pm Unconference sessions resume
  5:30pm End

Friday 20 September

We'll need to set aside some time to meet with other WG should they request it. I can send a notice to chairs@ to ask that requests for joint meeting time are with us by a certain date, so we can plan accordingly?

[marcoscaceres]

How about we tentatively set aside 1 hour on Friday after lunch? That would be least disruptive, and we can reclaim the time if no one wants to meet.

[LJWatson]

Have sent an email to all chairs, asking that they let us know by 26 July if they would like to meet with us.

[szager-chromium]

Is there a forum for listing issues we'd like to discuss at TPAC, so that participants have a chance to read up and prepare beforehand? Unconference style is fine and all, but we can end up wasting a lot of time if everyone goes in completely cold.

[LJWatson]

Suggest tracking issues for discussion on the repo for the spec in question, then referencing that issue here.

We'll need to set aside some time to meet with other WG should they request it.

DAS WG would like to borrow your co-chair @marcoscaceres for some Wake Lock API discussions Thu around 4pm. Our plans are baking at w3c/devicesensors-wg#24 Other WebApp-ers are also welcome to pop in if the topics look interesting.

[marcoscaceres]

@anssiko, I should be able to sneak away for a bit.

[szager-chromium]

IntersectionObserver should be about ready for CR, but there are a few issues to tie up, which I'm hoping to schedule time for at TPAC:

w3c/IntersectionObserver#380

[gked]

Would it be possible to add an agenda item for Thursday? MS Edge team would like to discuss a super low latency cursor-trail API to get best available ink latency offered by a given platform. w3c/pointerevents#204 (comment). @dlibby- as FYI.

[rniwa]

Hi, just as FYI, I won't be able to come to the meeting until 10:00am - 10:15am today.

[marcoscaceres]

No problem. Thanks for letting us know.
