June 27, 2013 by Ben WilsonNotes of meeting – CAB Forum – 27 June 2013 – Version 2 Present: Rich Smith, Atsushi Inaba, Ben Wilson, Mads Henriksveen, Dean Coclin, Geoff Keating, Jeremy Rowley, Stephen Davidson, Kirk Hall, Robin Alden, Eddy Nigg, Steve Roylance, Kelvin Yiu, Agenda review: Approved as published. Minutes: Approve Minutes of 30 May 2013: Approved for publication. On the minutes from the Munich face-to-face, it was decided that those would be converted from Word to wiki format because it will be easier to edit typos, grammar, etc. in that format. Then we urge everyone to review and edit them as needed to give more clarity if needed. We’ll add a notice to the top of the final version to indicate that the different presentation styles are due to the fact that the notes were taken by different individuals, rather than because of any other reason. A deadline was set for the meeting that follows August 1 at which time they would be presented for approval.
