This week I’m unavailable to moderate our call, with some deep-diving I’m doing to vet an ACES file, so let’s reconvene next week!

This week I’m back to life, and finished up the next draft of the receiver section in our ongoing implementation recommendations document. On our last call we had some really good suggestions about security and storage. I’d like to go over this draft of this section and see if we think it’s ready to send… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2023-03-23

This week I’m not in much shape to moderate our technical call, as I am battling my way through a pernicious virus infection. At least this year it’s before ACPN and not after. We’ll resume again — potentially not next week but the following, depending on how soon I recover and whether that changes some… Continue reading No Technical Call 2023-03-16

This week I’d like to go over the changes I’ve made to the implementation recommendations document — I think I’ve found a good medium based on the feedback we got last call.

For example, today most of us on the content authoring side likely have a two-step workflow, where edits… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2023-02-23

I have a few all-hands situations to deal with tomorrow, both at home and at work, so I won’t be able to moderate our usual meeting. My apologies for the spate of cancellations this month — it’s been a bit of a doozy. We’ll resume next week!

I’ve completed the first draft of the receiver recommendations section of our implementation document, but would like input on the infrastructure requirements and real-world issues receivers encounter. I have my outsider’s perspective but that only goes so far. I hope to see you there, at the usual time (9:00am US Central) and place (Teams)!

I have an unexpected personal emergency that I need to handle tomorrow, and won’t be able to moderate the usual technical call. Let’s join up again next week!
