- Discussion
- Do we want to "expand" the PWG's mission by engaging in a heavier marketing campaign?
- That would seem to fundamentally change the spirit and mission of the PWG, which we're
not sure we want to do...
- We'd have to greatly increase PWG dues to fund this marketing, thus *losing* members
(Ira's opinion)
- Look at our effort to register the trademark for IPP Everywhere
- Would that have been easier with more marketing? Maybe?
- We need to look at the motivation behind the desire to pursue that IPP Everywhere is
for the customers.
- But the customers won't ever see it if there isn't a client that says they support
IPP Everywhere, so IPP Everywhere will be a recognizable thing to pursue
- Mopria value proposition (Smith's opinion): Feature qualification suite + guaranteed
client implementation.
- This means that there is a clear value proposition for becoming a Mopria member and
certifying your printers
- Should we get advice from a technology marketing consultant?
- Anne Price?
- It is OK for us to say that we'd like more recognition for what we have done and we are
trying to improve the uptake, but do we need to "sell" it to do that?
- Or do we need to identify some new approach or different thing that would renew
interest and active participation in the PWG?
- Next steps
- Brainstorm new areas to pursue
- What is causing people problems with printing?
- User experience?
- Connectivity?
- Security (AAA) over and beyond
- Absence of particular features that diminishes the value prop of marking up paper?
- Decide whether we need to do this at all
- Are we comfortable with the PWG basically moving into a "maintenance mode" type of
existence?
- Mentoring program to ensure that knowledge and skills and officership progression
is ensured
- Other standards groups have defined "profile" specifications (feature-focused)
- Smaller complete specifications?
- Feature verticals? Or other things?
- Does this require refactoring how we operate the PWG?
- Discussion - Deferred
- Discussion
- Ideas
- IPP Everywhere 1.1 ipptool scripts
- Desire / need to have that completed before GSoC 2019 kicks off
- IPP System Service ipptool scripts
- Good candidate
- IPP Everywhere "feature verticals" (duplex printing, finishing, etc.)
- Has been discussed but not articulated in detail
- IPP Errata ipptool scripts
- JPS2 v2.0
- IPP Document Object v1.1
- IPP 3D Printing v1.1
- Discussion
- IPP Authentication Methods
- As a best practice test?
- When can we get IPP Auth to IPP WG LC / PWG Call for Objections?
- To be reviewed and decided on by EoD TODAY!!!
- Private email threads with IPP WG officers about formal review/adoption
- Probably going to roll with IPP System Service, maybe IPP Authentication Methods
