Noting Minutes

Minutes can be noted using IRC manually, or using the channel #dpvcg on https://irc.w3.org/ that provides various bots with scribes features. See https://harshp.com/dev/webdev/w3c-irc for a short guide on commands and formatting useful for taking minutes with the W3C tools.

The filename for minutes must be of the form meeting-YYYY-MM-DD.[irc/txt/wiki]. If there are optional contexts to be added, e.g. workshop, or common meeting at TPAC or ODRL, then these should be added as a suffix to preserve the sortability of minutes based on dates in filename.

Generating Minutes

1. Get the minutes from IRC tool or download it from w3c IRC
2. save it in ./generator/data/ with the filename meeting-YYYY-MM-DD.irc
3. run ./generator/generate_minutes.sh - this will produce HTMLs in /meetings/
4. run ./generator/generate_index.py - this will update index.html in /meetings/

• If you have write access, directly add the minutes. Otherwise open a PR with the IRC log and HTML files

Behind the scenes

Minutes are generated using the w3c scribe tool, see the guide at https://w3c.github.io/scribe/scribedoc.htm. The tool supports minutes generated from manual notes, IRC output including those generated by w3c tools. These are collected within the generator/data folder. The command used to generate the minutes document is:

# path: /meetings/generator
perl scribe.perl -implicitContinuations -final -emphasis <log.txt> > <minutes-YYYY-MM-DD.html>
