Milestone review:

  • Matroska maybe at the end of Summer 2021? It's closer than we thought
  • Is it worth publishing an update to ffv1-v4 that includes the goals we've discussed previously?
  • Are we ready to submit a working group draft for EBML updates (errata plus additions) yet? (https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/ebml-specification/tree/corrections-doc)
  • FLAC still needs an editor to complete the work. Michael did hear back from Florin, and he's unable to serve as editor, so the working group has a decision to make about FLAC.
<h5>Discussion on the call</h5>
  • Almost all the Matroska issues have PRs waiting for reviews - 7 do not. Steve will work on this during the coming week, and then send a version for review (soon) (after the PRs are merged)
  • Jerome is now able to focus on FFV1-v4, since we've published FFV1. ACTION Spencer to send e-mail to DISPATCH when we submit a (small) update.
  • We should wait until we have a bit more text, or bigger issues, to publish as a draft.

Michael Richardson has asked to step down as co-chair for SOME WORKING GROUP, after years of service in this role.

  • This may be CELLAR, but also may not be. He's asked the ADs to pick one.
  • We need to have a conversation about succession planning.
  • Michael and Spencer are both IETF process resources, not technical resources - it would be good to have at least one of each.
  • We could be using document shepherds to develop talent, but they need to be involved with our work, on calls, etc.
  • Open call on the Cellar mailing list? Michael has reached out to individuals in the past - that worked with Matroska.
  • IETF working groups do not name their own leadership - that's an Area Director responsibity - but ADs make their best choices when they have all the information we can give them to make choices.

Accept draft minutes from previous meeting (attached below)

  • Any objections? Please let us know on the mailing list.

Follow-up on Possible switch to Meetecho for our calls

<h5>Discussion on previous calls</h5>
  • We discussed moving to Meetecho (from whereby.com) at the May meeting, and Spencer had an action to check on iOS and Android clients for Meetecho.
  • Spencer verified that Meetecho uses WebRTC, so should work with any browser, but does not currently have an iOS or Android client available.
  • Michael's experience is that Meetecho REALLY needs to run from a computer, and not a phone or tablet, just because you need a lot of screen real estate to keep track of queues, chats, and other stuff.
<h5>Discussion on the call</h5>
  • Is using a computer for Cellar interim meetings a dealbreaker for anyone?
  • None on the call ...
  • ACTION Spencer will request Meetecho for our September meeting.

FFV1 v4 issues - Discussion on the call

  • Michael presented slides for https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFV1/blob/master/ffv1-v4-goals.md at the IETF 111 Dispatch session.
  • https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/111/materials/slides-111-dispatch-cellar-wg-overview-00

Matroska issues - Discussion on the call

  • https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/matroska-specification/pull/532 "possible values" maybe "defined values"...
  • https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/matroska-specification/pull/530 can be merged.
  • https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/matroska-specification/pull/437

FLAC issues - Discussion on the call

  • Were not discussed on the call

AOB?

  • None noted, except that Spencer and Michael expressed their appreciation for the people in the working group!
