[x3d-public] X3D Working Group agenda 14 January 2022: Jupyter viewing of STEP CAD files, Projects wish list

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

We have reverted to our prior meeting time, 0800-0900 Pacific Fridays. Coming up tomorrow:


  1.  Twitter: ready to start tweeting availability of x3d-public meeting minutes. Each tweet would simply be a highlight summary of topics, hopefully with (at least one) compelling "image of the week" along with single link to the archived x3d-public message.
     *   https://twitter.com/Web3Dconsortium



Suggested tweet:

     *   #X3D Working Group minutes 7 January 2022: @Web3D2021 availability @ACMDL, monthly presentation planning, X3D4 Architecture refinements, Floops!
     *   http://web3d.org/pipermail/x3d-public_web3d.org/2022-January/016444.html



  1.  CAD Design Printing Scanning group: Vince Marchetti showed how any end user can load STEP files and portray using X3DOM, all via a website.

  1.  Projects Wish List update discussion: we will look closely again next week.
     *   Work with MeshLab and Blender seems especially important.
     *   Can we add "how to get involved?" to each major item.

  1.  Website updates needed, brief discussion if helpful:
     *   Upcoming Events: still a hole in the middle of our website.  Need to add SIGGRAPH 2022.  (We are still looking for Web3D 2022 Conference host.)
     *   X3D4 still not listed under Recommended Standards page https://www.web3d.org/standards
     *   STANDARDS (or other) menu link to X3D4 Architecture?  Current approach still seems clumsy - is it satisfactory? We modified some prose on home page, there is still some reading required by users but 2 clicks will get you there.
     *   Do we need inset box on Standards Quick Links at bottom of home page?  Seems superfluous.



  1.  Other topics of group interest... are always welcome
