Generally printed magazines have a lead time closer to 3 months for news items. Or did last time I checked. So press submitted now might make it into March if you're lucky but more likely April or May issues of magazines like Creative Arts, Web Designer, etc. Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org www.advogato.org
Re: [OpenFontLibrary] Fwd: [CREATE] LGM 2009 update
I think it makes most sense to consolidate and have it at the LGM summit, esp. in this economy. I will try to attend events in SF though, as I live here part of the time.

Re: [OpenFontLibrary] timeline + going live
Ed, thanks for that! :-) Jon, basically we are now waiting for (a) Aaron Spaulding to complete the listing feature, with input from Ben and James Weiner and the community, while (b) me (or Ben) in our spare time move the new site to the new host. Then (c) you or I can ask OSUOSL to update the DNS record to the new server's IP address, and hopefully that will result in a smooth transition :-) I expect this to be complete by the end of the month, but, maybe the end of next month is something to tell magazines and so on if you have that in mind. With online promotions we should wait til its live, I think. Cheers, Dave

Re: [OpenFontLibrary] Fwd: [CREATE] LGM 2009 update
Hi, Dave and everyone, The Text Layout working group has the option of holding a meeting in conjunction with either the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in San Fransisco in April, or in conjunction with LGM in Montreal in May. Do people have a preference on the venue? I put out an email yesterday asking if folks were interested in the LF San Fransisco venue and so far have received only one response. I'd like to know if people prefer LGM. For me personally Montreal would be easier to get to.

Re: [OpenFontLibrary] timeline + going live
Hi, Jon, I'm the guy currently working on a server-side font analysis program for OFLB. The idea is that when a user uploads a new font, the program analyzes the font to determine various properties of the font, including orthographic coverage, *inter alia*. The program's output report will inform OFLB whether, for example, a font covers only Western Latin or whether it also covers Central European, Turkish, or Vietnamese extended Latin characters. Similarly useful analyses will be performed for non-Latin scripts, if present in the font. The report results will then be stored so that users browsing available fonts will be able to instantly see coverage results. Eventually it should also be possible to search for fonts meeting specific coverage requirements, among other things. I personally believe that the font analysis program will form a key part of the new OFLB site. The font analysis program is currently in an alpha stage of development. I think I will have the program to a fairly decent "beta" stage by the middle of February. Integrating the program into the OFLB cms will also require development work and time. If I had to put forth an estimated completion date, I'd venture to say no sooner than the middle of March. There are probably other aspects of the development picture that I am not aware of, so it would be good to hear what Dave and Ben say. I can only address the area of site development that I am personally involved in.

[OpenFontLibrary] Relaunch Status?
Hi there! I figured out that there seems to be a relaunch for OFL. So what is the status? I'm looking forward to it very much and would like to know when it is going to happen. Greetings from Germany, Robert Martinez

Dave and Ben, what else is needed to get OFLB live? What timetable? I want to make sure we get good press launch out of things too. My head hasn't been so in the game, but want to make sure and assist on powerful lauch. You guys have and are doing great job!
