[Cloud] Minutes posted for today's face-to-face meeting

Hi Randy,

Ahem - about threats to Q1 2012 schedule.

The current draft charter for the Cloud Imaging WG (from September)
moves all work items out a *year* and instead adds the Mapping spec
as near-term (depending on Print Job Ticket written in SM WG).

ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/cloud/wd/wd-cloud-charter-20110926.pdf

The Steering Committee deferred approval of that charter until we have
resolves the license/copyright/reference text for the MSPS (aka XPS)
chapter the Mapping spec.

Cloud Print is shipping (from lots of people).  It's using PPD, XPS, and
probably other job tickets now - that's where we see the "low hanging
fruit".

New protocol work in IPP or SOAP bindings (for Client and Printer
registration with Cloud, for Fetch Jobs, NotifyJobs, etc.) is not "low
hanging fruit", we think.

Cheers,
- Ira
