Can we have an item about sabatticals? I know we have a couple of people on sabbatical, but I don't think we know how long they need. I think it would be helpful if that could be expressed so we know what our capacity is.

[arojascastro]

Can we re-adress Internationzational and localization #651 ? I guess by March we will have some new inputs / ideas?

[acrymble]

#724 and #730

[drjwbaker]

On #730, we need to discuss if we want the ES dates & vol numbers - if we go that way - to be the same as EN date & vol numbers (my instinct is no as it is new work, but that could open complexities re the ISSN et al, which links to #698)

[arojascastro]

I think they are different works, printed translations usually get their own "metadata", but if it becomes troublesome... I guess our goal should be to make the whole conversion into PDF totally automatic.

Just realized that since daylight savings time just began in America the times listed here might be a tad skewed. @acrymble can you confirm, as I'm not as familiar with the time changes in England and Germany? It looks like Germany will be on DST by March 29th but not England.

By my math these would be the actual aligned timezones for March 29th - 6pm German, 4pm British, 12PM Eastern US, 9AM Pacific US. Does that sound correct? I was thinking that keeping the time stable for as many people as possible would mean asking the UK folks to move by an hour, but let me know if that's incorrect of if you have other suggestions. And sorry for the confusion!

[acrymble]

Our clocks change before the meeting. I can't say for anywhere else.

[walshbr]

Ah thanks - all should be fine then. And the meeting can stand at the normal time of 5PM British, 12PM Eastern US, 9AM Pacific US.

[JMParr]

Adding to our agenda our recent contact with a potential French language team.
