Re: Informal FOP Users/Developers/Sponsors Meeting

[Clay Leeds]

Likewise for Los Angeles & Southern California. 

In any event, since we can't all be there it might make sense to do a join me 
or other video conference meeting while you're there in Mass (en masse? ;-). 

It was fun to meet Glenn Mazza once upon a time in San Diego at ApacheCon. 
Cheers!

Hi Glenn,

A conference with the below agenda (plus other items) would be great. 
Unfortunately we don't have the budget to fly the team out to the U.S. 
for a short 1 day meeting. Therefore, we must decline with regret. 
However, if you are ever in the UK for whatever reason it would be good 
to hold such a conference. Others on this list would also be welcome of 
course.


Thanks,

Chris

Dear FOP Users and Developers,

I will be visiting Basis Technology [1] in Cambridge, Massachusetts 
during the week of Oct 28 through Nov 1, who has sponsored my work on 
FOP, especially the Complex Script support. Basis has agreed to host 
an informal meeting of parties interested in FOP, including users, 
developers, or sponsors or potential sponsors.


I would like to determine if there is an interest in having people 
attend a half to full day meeting during that week, which would be 
organized along an /unconference/ style. Some of the topics that I 
would like to talk about include:


  * future work on complex script support, e.g., fixing bidi issues,
adding additional script support;
  * PDF extensions, such as support for inter- and intra-page
transitions and layers (optional content groups)
  * how to increase interest and use of FOP
  * how to increase levels of sponsorship on the core work of
maintaining and enhancing FOP

Please let me know if you are interested in attending, which day of 
that week would be best for you, and any additional topics you would 
like to explore.


I realize this is rather short notice, but let's see if there is 
sufficient interest.


Regards,
Glenn
