[Printing-architecture] Last OP SC - Mon/Tue - 1/2 December 2008 - The Recording

[Till Kamppeter]

Hi,

InstantConference has an easy recording facility for phone meetings. If 
activated, one gets a download link for an MP3 file with the recording. 
I have transferred the file for the last OP Steering Committee meeting 
to the OpenPrinting server:

In general, recorded meetings I will upload to

This SC Meeting was small. Only George Liu, Norm Jacobs, and me 
participated. Also not very important stuff was discussed. I reported 
some stuff of my activity, and Norm told about the development of the 
printing part of Solaris. They take more and more of the Linux printing 
stack: CUPS (should get standard with CUPS 1.4), system-config-printer 
(printer setup tool), hal-cups-utils (Plug'n'Print script), ... 
Foomatic, Ghostscript, HPIJS, and Gutenprint they used already. Norm 
showed also interest in printer driver download from OpenPrinting for 
Solaris.

I asked Norm also to tell about how successful he was with the work of 
his GSoC student to implement PAPI for CUPS. Norm told that they were 
not so successful and he also did not have enough time for the 
mentoring. We also concluded that PAPI will most probably not adopted, 
as we end up with CUPS everywhere. So we should better work more on 
existing de-facto standards than creating new things with the intention 
that they should get a standard in the future.

    Till

P. S.: The MP3 is 23 MB long, 73 minutes of talking.
