Meyer Kupferman
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (October 2012) |
Meyer Kupferman (July 3, 1926 – November 26, 2003) was a prolific American composer and clarinetist.
Meyer Kupferman was born in New York City to Jewish parents.[1] A self-taught composer, Kupferman first gained attention in the late 1940s when his early opera "In A Garden" was premiered at the Tanglewood and Edinburgh Festivals. From 1951 to 1993 he was on the faculty of Sarah Lawrence College. He also served as Chairman of the Music Department for five terms.
Kupferman began music at the age of five on violin. As an adult he claimed little memory of his violin instruction, but at age 10 he began to play the clarinet. He taught himself piano and studied music theory at The High School of Music & Art in New York City, subsequently attending Queens College in New York.
As a young man Kupferman played jazz in bars and clubs on Coney Island, and arranged for big bands. In 1951 he was hired as Professor of Composition and Chamber Music at Sarah Lawrence College, a position he held until 1994. In the 1950s he began to experiment with twelve-tone row techniques, and in 1961 devised his "Infinities Row," consisting of the group of notes of G-F-Ab-B-Bb-D-F#-E-C-Eb-A-C#, which would become the only tone row he used subsequently in his major works. In 1990 he published Atonal Jazz.
Much of Kupferman's music contains large gestures and short dramatic hooks which are a critical to his compositional technique (his "gestalt form"). His works are eclectic syntheses of disparate elements. Their extremes of contrast, and outrageousness were reflections of his personal life.
Kupferman resided in Rhinebeck, New York, where he and his wife Pei-Fen welcomed members of the community. On the day before Thanksgiving, November 26, 2003, he died of heart failure.

We got a perfect introduction in our first room (Musee d'orsay) whre the very friendly staff explained us everything in detail. They offered us to switch the rooms on a daily basis as every room has a special theme - something you probably don't need on a business trip but was a nice thing for a weekend leisure trip.
The location is really good, just a few minutes by feet from the La Fayette and many good restaurants - one which we visited on a recommendation by the staff.
We definitely will consider this again for a next trip.

Microsoft's secret Nokia acquisition plans fall down
PUBLISHED: 20 Jun 2013 10:26:00 | UPDATED: 21 Jun 2013 08:46:37PUBLISHED: 20 Jun 2013 PRINT EDITION: 21 Jun 2013Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop shows off a Nokia Lumia smartphone running Microsoft's Windows Phone software. Photo: Bloomberg
Paul Smith
Ever since former Microsoft bigwig Stephen Elop jumped ship to take over the chief executive role at Finnish giant Nokia, there have been whispers that he left part of himself behind in Redmond. Now news has emerged that the companies have recently been engaged in negotiations for an acquisition deal that would have reverberated across the tech world.
Overnight on Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported on recently aborted negotiations for Microsoft to buy Nokia's device division. The negotiations, it said, took place as recently as this month but aren't likely to be revived after Microsoft walked away from the table.
The price was reportedly too high in Microsoft's reckoning and the software giant was understood to be concerned by Nokia's inability to mount a serious challenge to the likes of Apple and Samsung in the smartphone business. This may sound a little rich coming from Microsoft, but the addition of HTC to the ranks of top class smartphone makers and the recent return to form of Sony and BlackBerry has made Nokia an outside bet in the smartphone race.
From Nokia's perspective a deal would have seemed like an acceptable conclusion of a controversial tenure for Elop. The man, once tipped as a future Microsoft chief executive was nicknamed 'Agent Elop' in some quarters as the struggling mobile phone maker tied its future plans to Microsoft's own last ditch attempt to make a success of its floundering mobile computing operating system.
Ditching Symbian
He made a host of enemies at Nokia and divided opinion across the tech world with a massive call to ditch Nokia's home grown and well regarded Symbian operating system in favour of the significantly smaller Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft. Symbian had been sold on more than 400 million phones, in comparison to just 4 million on Microsoft's nascent system.
Elop's assertion that the falling Finnish company was stood on a "burning platform" was both brave and the definitive moment of his CEO career to date. It is not in dispute that Symbian was losing the fight with Android and iOS, but it is still very much open for debate whether Windows was the right horse to back.
Selling the business to Microsoft would seem like a natural conclusion of sorts to some, and be proof of a long-planned conspiracy to others.
However with the apparent failure of the negotiations it would appear that, whatever plans may have been laid in place have been shut down for now. Perhaps it has become apparent that the smartphone industry is moving away from Nokia more quickly than either Microsoft or Elop would have envisaged.
Figures released by research firm IDC in May showed that, between them, Google's Android and Apple's iOS accounted for 92.3 per cent of all smartphone operating system shipments in the first quarter of this year. While Windows inched its way passed BlackBerry into third place, it was an incredibly distant third with just 3.2 per cent share.
A losing battle
Android is by far the most commonly shipped mobile OS due to its presence in phones from a multitude of vendors, it had 75 per cent of the market, in comparison to Apple's 17.3 per cent.
Whereas BlackBerry appears to have a clear strategy to make itself a leading player in the broader mobile computing market, rather than banking on distant hopes of a smartphone revival, Nokia seems more wedded to the fortunes of its devices.
The Lumia range of smartphones are certainly well designed and have been well-received by many reviewers, but they haven't been good enough yet to make a significant dent in their rivals' sales. An acquisition may yet be the likeliest end point for Elop's Nokia.
Aside from the Microsoft speculation, Chinese player Huawei moved earlier this week to distance itself from reports that it was mulling a bid for Nokia.
While Elop has talked up the prowess of Nokia's phones, particularly focusing on the strength of the cameras, and has flagged the possibility of a future tablet PC on the way, it is starting to look like the future of the pioneering firm may ultimately lie in the acquisitive decisions of others.
- Huawei denies interest in buying Nokia
- Lumia sell-out no proof of Nokia turnaround
- Nokia chief suggests Windows tablets on the way
- Jobs cuts loom as Nokia scraps Symbian
- HTC One ... a classic example of when less is more
- Inspiration or desperation as new BlackBerry rumours emerge

Queensryche formed in 1981 when band mates Michael Wilton (guitar), Scott Rockenfield (drums), Chris DeGarmo (guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass), and Geoff Tate (vocals) decided to form a new group called the Mob.
Their manager persuaded them to change their name to Queensryche. DeGarmo left the group in 1998 and Kelly Gray took over for him from 1998-2001 but Mike Stone replaced him in 2003. Stone is the current guitarist for the group.
To celebrate 25 years of rock, Queensryche is releasing 'Sign of the Times' which covers their career. They came into prominence with their concept album 'Operation: Mindcrime' in 1988 and 'Empire' in 1990. The songs from those albums will be the most easily recognizable tunes (including their number one hit "Silent Lucidity" from 'Empire').
However you also get "Queen of the Reich" which is where the inspiration of their name came from and is from their self-titled EP. "All the Promises" is the latest song and is from their 2006 follow-up album 'Operation: Mindcrime II.'
'Sign of the Times' is a fine way to have an instant collection of Queensryche from all eras of their career. For the dedicated fan there's a two-disc edition that gathers a bonus disc of demos, outtakes, live recordings, and more.
'Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensryche' is now available at Amazon. Visit the music database for more information.

yeah, but can she nip through the domino's box those nipples were originally housed in?
Moar stripper heelz.

I think you are looking at Lindsay Lohan in about 10 years, assuming she can find someone to pay for the surgeries.
Don't forget the all-over freckle removal.

The nipples I get. What I don't get is areolas that are stout enough to show through that fabric. Or is it scar tissue?
Does she have to remove and check the Areolas at TSA?
I'm pretty sure I can see stripper glitter.

In the ad Ronaldinho puts on a pair of Nikes, juggles the ball a few times, and then kicks the ball towards the goal so that it hits the crossbar and bounces directly back to him. He does this four times in a row. And it's all shot in a single take. This has inspired a lot of discussion on the net, because it's hard to believe anyone could be skilled enough to do this. In

"This week, I got a call from Fayetteville, Ark., about the penguin abduction," said aquarium spokesman Tony LaCasse. "I even got a call from California. We figured we had to do something." LaCasse speculated that…

Yes, this is a football site, but since the home office is in beautiful downtown Framingham, Massachusetts (home of Lou Merloni!) I thought it was only appropriate that post 1918 be something related to last night's Red Sox victory. I thought this was hilarious for those who didn't notice: after the Red Sox won last night, relief pitcher Curt Leskanic did snow angels behind the pitcher's mound in tribute to the New England Patriots.

Week 7 strategy analysis from our friend William Krasker. You'll be surprised what he has to say about Mike Martz's decision to accept a penalty to get 3rd-and-28 instead of 4th-and-18.

Here are the Football Outsiders team efficiency ratings after Week 7, although without Aaron's usual commentary for the math-o-phobic (he's a bit under the weather). Lots of turnover this week as the teams ranked three through seven last week all lost, and many unexpected teams won.

Peter King's main commentary in MMQB this week is about how Terrell Owens has made Donovan McNabb better (incidentally, also the topic of an article by Michael David Smith and me in the New York Sun tomorrow). You also get the usual Peter King notes. I'm a MMQB fan but I do think King needs to do a better job of taking opponent quality into account when he makes his proclamations. I'm not sure keeping Billy Volek in check is a sign that Minnesota now has a defense, and he seems amazed that Allen Rossum could return a punt for a touchdown against KC's "maniacal" special teams.

It's another week of ESPN Page 2's Snap Judgment, as the ESPN columnists are joined by yours truly to analyze quarterbacks in the NFL. This week we ask what's wrong with Michael Vick, how far is Chad Pennington behind Tom Brady, and will Daunte Culpepper break the Dan Marino passing touchdowns record.

Two articles for the price of none. First, this week brings us the first meeting of two undefeated teams with at least five wins apiece since 1973 and hardly anybody in either Boston or New York has paid attention. Aaron tells you what to look for in this game using our innovative Football Outsiders metrics. Second, a year ago everyone was talking about Dante Hall. Now the numbers say Kansas City has the worst special teams unit in the league. Why special teams have contributed to the fall of the Chiefs and the rise of their division rivals in San Diego. Both articles originally appeared in the New York Sun.

The latest strategy analysis from William Krasker looks at Mike Martz going for it on 4th-and-goal at the end of the second quarter, two point conversion choices by the Jets and Seahawks, and Andy Reid's favorite play, the unexpected mid-game onside kick. We'll be publishing William's review and reconsideration of the most interesting strategic decisions of Weeks 1-6 later this weekend.

It's another edition of our mailbag, where Aaron answers your questions related to VOA and other statistics from Football Outsiders. This week: What the heck happened to the Green Bay defense, a further explanation of special teams, and a look at the historic ineptitude of the Miami offense. Plus, could it be better for the defense to decline most five-yard penalties?

For a number of reasons -- fewer TMQ fans reading FO, people losing their desire to talk about TMQ, moving the discussion to Extra Points -- TMQ discussion has severely dropped off around here, but I have a feeling that's going to change with the subject that kicked off Gregg's column this week. Even I'm a little irked at his statement that he's sick of the Patriots, that they get all the lucky breaks, and that they've avoided injuries. The 2003-2004 Patriots get their share of lucky breaks, but no more than any other team (the 2001 Patriots were a different story). Injuries, I mean, huh?

You can have them tonight or prep and assemble everything and have for dinner tomorrow or later in the week. Make the filling with any leftover cooked and shredded chicken. A grocery store rotisserie chicken works great.
Top with avocado, then have a little fun By Ellie Krieger The Washington PostJan 20 2015 - 1:05amComments "Why didn't I think of that?" was my main reaction when I first heard of avocado toast. I have enjoyed and advocated ripe avocado as a bread spread for years. Its creaminess and buttery flavor is ideal on toast in the morning, adding a rich yet healthful element to the breakfast plate. But aside from topping mine with a slice of tomato, that is as far as I took it.
Dinner in 20 minutes: Quick Chicken and Baby Broccoli With Spicy Peanut Sauce By Bonnie S. Benwick The Washington PostJan 20 2015 - 1:05amComments It's a good time for a bit of consumer-vegetable reeducation. This recipe calls for baby broccoli, which you might have found labeled "Broccolini." The latter is a name trademarked by Mann Packing, a California grower. Either way, we're talking about the same thing: a fully grown hybrid of broccoli and a kind of Chinese kale/broccoli.

Seville Cathedral (Catedral de Santa María de la Sede)
When the designers of the Seville Cathedral set out to build a new church on the site of the city's old mosque, they didn't hold back. They wanted the best of the best, excess of excess, and they got it.
Building of this new cathedral 'like no other' began in the 1400s and wasn't completed until the 1500s. It's still the biggest Gothic cathedral in the world, and the third-largest church. It has 80 chapels.
And oh, what's inside those chapels! Gold...and more gold; priceless works of art by the likes of Goya and Murillo; stained glass; and, it's said, the remains of Christopher Columbus.
Next to the cathedral is the Giralda Tower, once the minaret of the mosque that made way for the cathedral, now a bell tower. Climb the steep ramps, designed for horses and riders, to the very top for incomparable views of Seville and its cathedral.
Practical Info
The Cathedral is in the Centro Histórico, not far from the Bullring and Casa de Pilatos.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
hey guys
These are for people who design type entirely by themselves( i mean no teams).
Whats your kerning workflow?
Do you guys use auto kerning?
Which kern pairs you usually kern?
Do you guys exclusively kern manually?
Do you guys use python scripts?
How good is fontlabs auto kern feature?
Attachment | Size |
KERN PAIRS.txt | 1.62 KB |
Whats your kerning workflow?
• Finish drawing and spacing the outlines.
• Print a complete set of kerning proofs (every character juxtaposed against every relevant character) and identify any spacing problems that can be fixed without kerning.
• Fix spacing problems
• Export fonts to UFO files
• Build OpenType kerning groups in Metrics Machine
• Build kern pair lists in Metrics Machine (every character juxtaposed against every relevant character)
• Kern every pair in the light weight in Metrics Machine.
• Print a complete set of kerning proofs and identify all pairs that need to be fixed.
• Make fixes (I may do a few rounds of this, tweaking spacing and outlines of problem letters along the way)
• Create necessary kerning class exceptions for accents that crash into other letters.
• Repeat for the black weight
• Interpolate kerning for the semibold weight, proof, tweak
• Interpolate kerning for other weights
• Import one set of kerning classes to all fonts (to ensure that they match)
Do you guys use auto kerning?
No. I hate kerning, but I learn too much and fix to many problems during the process to not do it. I will try DTL Kernmaster once DTL releases a version that supports UFO.
Do you guys use python scripts?
I'm pretty sure Metrics Machine was written entirely in Python, so kind of ;)
How good is fontlabs auto kern feature?
Fontlab does not have automatic kerning, it has automatic spacing. Fontographer has automatic kerning. Both are abysmal.
Thanks a lot DT. and can i get a standard list of Characters that have to be kerned? right now i am following the TXT file which i have attached.
And what if you are working on a PC. is there any other tool like Metrics Machine for Windows?
…and can i get a standard list of Characters that have to be kerned?
This is pretty simplified, but:
• A-Z and a-z must kern against A-Z, a-z, and all punctuation. Don't try to avoid oddball pairs like XJ, because any pair you can imagine exists between Dutch, Eastern European place names, and Chinese transliteration.
• 0-9 (Proportional figures only) must be kerned against 0-9, currency symbols, and all punctuation.
• All punctuation should be kerned against quotation marks. Do not forget about Czech quotes!
• Some people even kern shit like ® and ™ against letters and punctuation. I don't bother because the weird marks like that look pretty bad no matter how they're used.
Think about usage when you build your pair lists. For example, ampersand never kerns because it always has a space on either side, and backslash is only used in monospaced fonts. Brackets don't get kerned because they make crazy shapes and spaces anyway. Æ and Þ also have a limited number of real-world kerns.
…is there any other tool like Metrics Machine for Windows?
Nope. Kerning in Fontlab is possible, you just need to build lists of strings of transpose characters (AAABACADA…). Some designers prefer that method to Metrics Machine.
For example, ampersand never kerns because it always has a space on either side
Craig, I clearly did not drink enough coffee before lunch.
Of course, if you're a Jaguar fan or owner, you'll definitely want to kern XJ to perfection anyway.
Do not ever ask FontLab to automatically kern, space, or make classes. It will take longer to fix the mess it made than just do it straight off the first time.
thanks guys for all your replies. I have been following Letters of Credit (section 10, page 74) for spacing.
The book mentions a nice way to space glyphs and i was pretty comfortable with the spacing I've achieved. Is there anything like that for kerning? Do you just believe your eye to make the best judgement or do you use some kind of technique ( or just remember the kerning value for a pair and apply the same value for similar pairs).
I've asked this question in a previous thread "when do you actually start spacing?". Most of them said they space as they design. is that your workflow also.Should i design all( approx 260) glyphs and then space and kern?
Your kern pairs text is useless. In order to kern a glyph you need to look at it in context to at least 3 glyphs.
"The spacing between two letters can never wrong, add a third and now you have a problem." —Ed Benguiat
I think you'll find that if you design and then space/kern, you will end up designing again. I usually work on design for a little while, then go to spacing then take what I've learned from that and apply it to the design, then back to spacing.
Also, I've found it helpful to use test words instead of just looking at kerning pairs (or trios). I have a lot more familiarity worth words than I do with random series of letters and this really helps me work on rhythm in my design.
Novice question:
Is it possible to build in kerning over a space?
(Edit: The difference was more prominent in Lucidia Grande.)
Yes, kerning to space glyph is quite common.
But he's talking about kerning past the space. On kerning triplets, see
"kerning past the space
I couldn't see that from his example. Im assumed he was talking about the [N I] vs the [T T} which is easily adjusted by kerning both sides of the T to the space.

President Barack Obama's decision to return 5 percent of his salary to the U.S. Treasury to show solidarity with furloughed government workers may step up pressure on top federal officials and lawmakers to follow suit.
Obama will send a check to the Treasury for a portion of his $400,000 annual salary each month federal employees are forced to take unpaid leave because of across-the-board budget cuts, an administration official said yesterday.
The salary give-back -- which would total $20,000 -- represents the level of cuts being made in non-exempt, non- defense discretionary spending under the budget reductions known as sequestration, said the official, who wasn't authorized speak on the matter and asked not to be identified.
Like members of Congress and cabinet officials, the president's salary is set by law and can't be reduced or raised while he's in office. Two cabinet-officials, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and acting Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Bob Perciasepe, also said they would take pay cuts. Democratic Senator Mark Begich of Alaska, up for re- election in 2014, released a statement April 3 saying he will return part of his salary and will furlough some of his staff.
"There is no reason that members of Congress shouldn't feel the pinch like everyone else," Begich said. "This won't solve our spending problem on its own, but I hope it is a reminder to Alaskans that I am willing to make the tough cuts, wherever they may be, to get our spending under control."
Capitol Pay
U.S. Senators are paid $174,000 a year, the same as in 2009, according to a Congressional Research Service report. The majority and minority leaders get $193,400 annually, as does the president pro tempore, it shows.
Cabinet secretaries and other senior agency officials appointed by the president can't be forced to take unpaid time off because "they are considered to be entitled to the pay of their offices solely by virtue of their status as an officer," rather than by the hours they work, according to the Office of Personnel Management documents.
"The president has decided that to share in the sacrifice being made by public servants across the federal government that are affected by the sequester, he will contribute a portion of his salary back to the Treasury," Jay Carney, a White House spokesman, said in a statement released yesterday.
Lawmakers in the House of Representatives also are paid $174,000 a year, while those in leadership roles get more. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California collects $193,400, while Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, receives $223,500 annually, according to the research service.
Biden Question
The White House hasn't said whether Vice President Joe Biden, who makes $230,700, would return part of his pay.
Obama will write the first check this month and will continue through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30 or until the sequestration is replaced, the administration official said.
The sequestration process will slice $85 billion out of the federal budget through the end of September, split almost evenly between defense spending and discretionary social programs.
Hagel, who makes about $199,700 a year, according to another research service report, announced his decision to forfeit pay on April 2. Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter also has offered to return part of his salary.
The Pentagon must cut $41 billion in spending over because of sequestration. Defense officials have said the reductions may require the agency's 750,000 civilian workers to take as many as 14 unpaid days off over that period.
Donated Money
The EPA's Perciasepe has donated the equivalent of 32 hours of his salary to the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund, according to Alisha Johnson, a spokeswoman. That is the amount of time employees will be furloughed through June 15. The fund offers emergency assistance and tuition aid to the families of U.S. workers.
Citizens who want to make a donation to the government can do so through a 170-year-old account called "Gifts to the United States," run by the Treasury Department, according to Anthony Coley, an agency spokesman. Pay returned by public officials would be considered donations to the government.
Voluntary payments to reduce the national debt can be deducted from taxes as charitable contributions, according to the research service. At the 39.6 percent top federal tax rate, Obama may get $7,920 in tax relief by deducting the $20,000 in returned pay.
The White House didn't respond to a question about whether the president would claim the deduction when he files his 2013 tax return, due next year.
Economic Signs
As the sequestration cuts have begun, some signs have indicated the U.S. economy may be starting to cool. The Institute for Supply Management said yesterday that its non- manufacturing gauge declined to 54.4 last month from a one-year high of 56 in February, the slowest pace of growth in seven months, and companies added fewer workers than forecast.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index of U.S. equities retreated from a record close on April 2 to end at 1,553.69 in New York yesterday, while an index of 10-year Treasury note yields declined to 1.81 percent from 1.86 percent.
Congress mandated $1.2 trillion in across-the-board spending cuts -- the sequestration -- spread over nine years, as part of a 2011 deal to increase the U.S. debt limit.
The president has said he'll continue to seek a long-range deficit reduction agreement with Republicans. He plans to have a dinner meeting with about a dozen lawmakers from the party on April 10 to discuss a potential budget deal.

Paige Williams (Microsoft) to keynote at 8th Multilingual Web Workshop (April 29, 2015, Riga)
We are please to announce that Paige Williams, Director of Global Readiness, Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft, will deliver the keynote at the 8th Multilingual Web Workshop, "Data, content and services for the Multilingual Web," in Riga, Latvia (29 April 2015).
Paige spent 10 years managing internationalization of Microsoft.com, before joining the Trustworthy Computing organization in 2005. In TwC, Paige oversees compliance of company policy for geographic, country-region and cultural requirements, establishing a new center of excellence for market and world readiness, globalization/localizability, and language programs, tools, resources and external community forums to reach markets across the world with the right local experience.
The Multilingual Web Workshop series brings together participants interested in the best practices, new technologies, and standards needed to help content creators, localizers, language tools developers, and others address the new opportunities and challenges of the multilingual Web. It will provide for networking across communities and building connections.
Registration for the Workshop is free, and early registration is recommended since space at the Workshop is limited.
The workshop will be part of the Riga Summit 2015 on the Multilingual Digital Single Market. We are organizing the workshop as part of the Riga Summit to strengthen the European related community at large. Depending on the number of submissions to the MultilingualWeb workshop we also may suggest to move presentations to other days of the summit. For these reasons we highly recommend you to attend the whole Riga Summit!
There is still opportunity for individuals to submit proposals to speak at the workshop. Ideal proposals will highlight emerging challenges or novel solutions for reaching out to a global, multilingual audience. The deadline for speaker proposals is March 8, but early submission is strongly encouraged. See the Call for Participation for more details.
This workshop is made possible by the generous support of the LIDER project.
Counter Styles: two documents published
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a Candidate Recommendation of CSS Counter Styles Level 3. It adds new built-in counter styles to those defined in CSS 2.1, but, more importantly, it also allows authors to define custom styles for list markers, numbered headings and other types of generated content.
At the same time, the Internationalization Working Group has updated their Working Draft of Predefined Counter Styles, which provides custom rules for over a hundred counter styles in use around the world. It serves both as a ready-to-use set of styles to copy into your own style sheets, and also as a set of worked examples.
W3C MultilingualWeb Workshop Announced: 29 April 2015, Riga, Latvia
W3C announced today the 8th MultilingualWeb workshop in a series of events exploring the mechanisms and processes needed to ensure that the World Wide Web lives up to its potential around the world and across barriers of language and culture.
This workshop will be held 29 April 2015 in Riga, Latvia, and is made possible by the generous support of the LIDER project. The workshop is part of the Riga Summit 2015 on the Multilingual Digital Single Market (27-29 April)
Anyone may attend all sessions at no charge and the W3C welcomes participation by both speakers and non-speaking attendees. Early registration is encouraged due to limited space.
Building on the success of seven highly regarded previous workshops, this workshop will emphasize new technology developments that lead to new opportunities for the Multilingual Web. The workshop brings together participants interested in the best practices and standards needed to help content creators, localizers, language tools developers, and others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web. It provides further opportunities for networking across communities. We are particularly interested in speakers who can demonstrate novel solutions for reaching out to a global, multilingual audience.
See the Call for Participation and register online.
First Public Working Draft of Indic Layout Requirements published
The W3C Internationalization Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of Indic Layout Requirements on behalf of the Indic Layout Task Force, part of the W3C Internationalization Interest Group.
This document describes the basic requirements for Indic script layout and text support on the Web and in eBooks. These requirements provide information for Web technologies such as CSS, HTML and SVG about how to support users of Indic scripts. The current document focuses on Devanagari, but there are plans to widen the scope to encompass additional Indian scripts as time goes on.
Publication as a First Public Working Draft, signals the beginning of the process, rather than an end point. We are now looking for comments on the document. Please send any comments you have to email@example.com. The archive is public, but you need to subscribe to post to it.
Final report for Chinese Layout Requirements Workshop available
The final report for the Workshop on Chinese Language Text Layout Requirements, which was held on September 11, 2014, at Beihang University, is now available. See also the Chinese version of this report.
The report contains links to slides.
The workshop gave a strong message of support for W3C Beihang and CESI to cooperate and lead the work on the Chinese Layout Requirement Document. In addition to Simplified and Traditional Chinese, there was also strong interest from representatives of the Mongolian, Tibetan and Uighur script communities to participate in the work. The closing session of the workshop proposed a number of steps to continue the efforts.
The W3C staff is driving the process of setting up this task force and reaching out to a wide range of interested stakeholders. This consultation will seek to clarify the mission for the task force, the target topics and industry priorities, and opportunities for liaisons with other related standards development organizations.
Encoding is a Candidate Recommendation
The Encoding specification has been published as a Candidate Recommendation. This is a snapshot of the WHATWG document, as of 4 September 2014, published after discussion with the WHATWG editors. No changes have been made in the body of this document other than to align with W3C house styles. The primary reason that W3C is publishing this document is so that HTML5 and other specifications may normatively refer to a stable W3C Recommendation.
Going forward, the Internationalization Working Group expects to receive more comments in the form of implementation feedback and test cases. The Working Group
believes it will have satisfied its implementation criteria no earlier than 16 March 2015. If you would like to contribute test cases or information about implementations, please send mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The utf-8 encoding is the most appropriate encoding for interchange of Unicode, the universal coded character set. Therefore for new protocols and formats, as well as existing formats deployed in new contexts, this specification requires (and defines) the utf-8 encoding.
The other (legacy) encodings have been defined to some extent in the past. However, user agents have not always implemented them in the same way, have not always used the same labels, and often differ in dealing with undefined and former proprietary areas of encodings. This specification addresses those gaps so that new user agents do not have to reverse engineer encoding implementations and existing user agents can converge.
Predefined Counter Styles Draft Published
The W3C i18n Working Group has published a new Working Draft of Predefined Counter Styles. This document describes numbering systems used by various cultures around the world and can be used as a reference for those wishing to create user-defined counter styles for CSS. The latest draft synchronizes the document with changes to the related document CSS Counter Styles Level 3, for which a second Last Call is about to be announced. If you have comments on the draft, please send to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Industry speakers lined up to discuss use cases and requirements for linked data and content analytics
The agenda of the 4th LIDER roadmapping workshop and LD4LT event has been published. A great variety of industry stakeholders will talk about linked data and content analytics. Industry areas represented include content analytics technology, multilingual conversational applications, localisation and more.
The workshop will take place on September 2nd in Leipzig, Germany and it will be collocated with the SEMANTiCS conference. The workshop will be organised as part of MLODE 2014 and will be preceded by a hackathon on the 1st of September.
The event is supported by the LIDER EU project, the MultilingualWeb community, the NLP2RDF project as well as the DBpedia project.
XLIFF 2.0 becomes OASIS standard
The XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) version 2.0 has been approved as an OASIS Standard.
XLIFF is the open standard bi-text format: Bi-text keeps source language and target language data in sync during localization.
The publication of XLIFF 2.0 is of high importance for W3C since several of the main ITS 2.0 data categories can be used within XLIFF 2.0 to provide content related information during the localization process. Full ITS 2.0 support is planned for the upcoming XLIFF 2.1 version.
Report available for W3C MultilingualWeb workshop in Madrid
A report summarizing the MultilingualWeb workshop in Madrid is now available from the MultilingualWeb site. It contains a summary of each session with links to presentation slides and minutes taken during the workshop in Madrid. The workshop was a huge success, with approximately 110 participants, and with the associated LIDER roadmapping workshop. The Workshop was hosted by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, sponsored by the EU-funded LIDER project, by Verisign and by Lionbridge.
A new workshop in the MultilingualWeb series is planned for 2015.
