Re: [docbook-tc] DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 22 June 2016
Hi Bob, In response to the minutes, I have updated Norm's role on the TC to Voting Member, yours to Chair, and Dick's to Secretary. The changes should show up on the public web page in about a half hour. /chet On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 3:37 PM, Bob Stayton <> wrote: DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 22 June 2016 ============================================================= The DocBook Technical Committee met on Wednesday, 22 June 2016 at 2:00pm ET. 1.
