@simoncozens from the UFO meeting way back when, our understanding was that you were going to organize this meeting. Are you still planning to do that? |

I am. Sorry, I dropped the ball here. Today I was reminded, and Tamir wants to attend. I'll propose some dates. |

This Doodle poll has a range of times (afternoon/evening Europe, morning/daytime US) for the week after next: https://doodle.com/poll/g2frbryziag32qqh I'll put together a suggested agenda on Monday. |

@schriftgestalt, @frankrolf, & @kaydeearts see the Doodle poll above about setting a time for "a meeting for those interested in developing feature file formats". |

@simoncozens Seems like Monday evening is preferred by the most? If we start at 5 pm [UTC+1—afterthought] we get Cosimo. |

@simoncozens Is the meeting time decided yet? If it's going to be on the coming Monday, it would be great to know the time a little in advance. Thanks! |

Sorry, yes - this coming Monday, 4pmUTC! I think I actually intended a week later so I thought I still had lots of time. Zoom invitation below. Waiting room enabled. For security if I don’t recognise your name, bear with me and I’ll ask you to ping me via another medium. Rough agenda:
Simon Cozens is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Topic: Feature File Format Chat Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 835 0369 2306 Dial by your location |

Apologies : 4pm UTC, not 5. (I blame liang but really it’s just that I’m terrible at anything administrative...) Post and invite updated. |

(Hahaha my bad… Somehow I entirely forgot about the timezone issue—and lived in a perfect world for a minute.) |

Phooey. I have another meeting at the same time. If anyone feels like playing my role in this meeting: just repeatedly state that the feature file format should be suitable to live at a level below graphical user interfaces, higher-level input and programming languages, and generally be something that font makers should only need to look at as a last resort. |

We wrote down some additions we did/are planing to the fea syntax in Glyphs: |

What descriptive elements would you see as needing to be accessed from a
GUI? I know of APs and the insertion of tagged code from code generators.
Anything else?

I've put together a slide deck for later today, which summarises what I know of existing projects/suggestions. Please feel free to comment: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hcfx2kE8GBQ5bpj67GyE2oQ0ufy-I0JlmWg5czqZocw/edit?usp=sharing |

Thanks for organizing! Will there be meeting minutes? Do you need help with taking notes? (I will attend unless a previous meeting overruns). |

We'll take minutes in a Google doc, yes. |

Actually I will probably need help taking notes because I don't think I'll be able to share slides and take notes at the same time. |

If you’re “RL” and you’re trying to get into the meeting, please let me know who you are. |
