Agenda and notes


    1. Report on action item “ACTION: Daniela, Wenjing, and David Boswell will coordinate with Arun on proposing a new template format for JDF projects and then filling it out for the ToIP 2024 Annual Report.”
      1. TAC is reviewing the forums, and is going to provide commentary on the new report format for TOIP.
      2. LFDT being driven by open source projects mostly, we (TOIP) are different and then should require a new template for what should be considered a "standards organization."
      3. [my note: the medium should affect the message]
      4. We have created quite a bit of content WRT, and should see if the template matches any of this new content
      1. Jory Burson, VP LF Standards projects, did a presentation on JDF and Community Specs to the LFDT Technical Advisory Committee (Tac) - you can watch here . Purpose is to educate TAC representatives who are not familiar with JDF projects
      2. Discussion ongoing on what additions need to be made to LFDT project lifecycle to support JDF and Community Specs
      3. LFDT Project Annual Reviews - suggestion was to have ToIP take existing format, submit what is relevant and comment on what doesn’t fit and what is missing (same for then ongoing quarterly (Technical Advisory Committee) TAC report)
  • Action item: Wenjieng will give us a template that we need to fill out.
  • Action item: Scott will fill out the template with our existing material and bring it back to the working groups and steering committee for answers he is unable to answer from our current documentation.
  1. Report on action item “All Steering Committee members should send any suggestions to Scott for ToIP topics who will then work with Wenjing to coordinate what we want to see included in (Global Digital Collaboration) GDC Day 2 sessions.”
