They are holding a meeting in the San Francisco area on 7 January and I plan to attend. 1) Is anyone else from SC24 interested in attending the meeting? 2) Is anyone interested in helping put together a SC24 input to the meeting regarding Java graphics related APIs in particular that we can take in as a liaison contribution? 3) Should we in SC24 start a similar study effort on those Java related things that are within our scope? 4) Does anyone object to SC24 pursuing bringing Java APIs (windowing, 2D and 2D graphics, media) into the ISO process? I am afraid that if we do not get immediately active in this arena then either SC22 will take all the work as part of their "application portability" charter or that it will go through ECMA, followed by an ISO fast track (as JavaScript is doing.) --------------------------------------------------------- Steve Carson phone: +1-505-521-7399 GSC Associates Inc. fax: +1-505-521-9321 5272 Redman Road e-mail: carson@siggraph.org Las Cruces, NM 88011 USA ---------------------------------------------------------
