PrintTalk 2.0

Review current version and open issues

IP review kick off

• Leave 1.6 in maintenance mode with mainly cosmetic changes

Status of ISO 21812-1 (PDF Metadata)

Review of CD (Comittee draft)

• make sure that interim iso meetings are joint meetings with CIP4

• will dial in be possible? Rainer to check.

XJDF next steps

Errata editing and release process

• keep to a minimum

• only if it affects interoperability

Do we need errata releases such as 2.0.1 with updated schema and/or bug fixes only?

• Ideally we should not change the document

• Add FDF based on original PDF to the errata page

• No 2.0.1 version unless we find something that is very broken

• Add color coding definitions to errata and always use cross-out font for removed text,

• Errata are proposed by the technicl workgroup and reviewed by the TSC prior to publication.

Do we need a registry of new NMTOKENS and return codes between versions?

• We should have an NMTOKEN registry individually for 1.6/2.0 in the specification area of confluence

• Add a description how to use JIRA to extend NMTOKENs

• Extensions are logged against the next spec version or ICS  but added to the registry

XJDF 2.1 / JDF 1.7 Roadmap

1.7/2.1 Update at drupa

Focus Improvements to XJDF

Using (X)JDF in the cloud

• Rest Interface (long debates on usefulness)

• Quality Control

Work structure 

Retain the Technical Workgroup, and discuss all specification and ICS related topics there.

Short lifetime focus groups in the off weeks:

• PrintTalk

• Maybe cloud

• others?

Chairman election: @Stefan Meissner elected.

XJDF and JDF get merged as JDF

Versons: 1.7, 2.0

Advantages of ISO: It is the iso seal of approval.

Currently we are still too dynamic and the iso process would slow us down significantly.

Which version? If any, then post 2.1.

We definitely need the ability to distribute a specification free of charge to members and non-members of CIP4.
