End of the Conveyor Belt: A bookstore's perspective on quality control, suppo...BookNet Canada
So you’ve produced your ebooks and dropped them onto an FTP or hit the “send to the world” button in your fancy automated distribution tool – what happens next? Well if you’re sending them to Kobo all kinds of things happen. They may or may not be reviewed by a human before they even go on sale. Once on sale they may be reported by a mobile user who’s having trouble reading the book and that report would be investigated internally to see if the issue reported is reproducible. The book might be extracted from our system and pulled apart if it produces a previously unknown issue and in some cases they’ll be pulled from sale and reported to the publisher or distributor. Some titles may find themselves listed as examples in bug reports or feature requests or used as part of a business case to improve or fix something pertaining to content support.
In addition to a general overview of ebook testing and support at Kobo Ben will also provide some historical context for how processes and reading platforms have evolved at Kobo over the years including fixes and features added in the past year, significant obstacles faced in the past (Fixed Layout, font obfuscation, CSS overrides) and lessons learned so far.
Great Expectations – The Sequel: Updates from the digital standards frontlinesBookNet Canada
Although the Web has, since its inception, been a medium for publishing content, in February of 2013, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) dipped its toes into the waters of the commercial publishing industry with its first community workshop in New York City titled, “eBooks: Great Expectations for Web Standards.”
Five years later, and with the combined IDPF and W3C marking its one-year anniversary, some people still think that the W3C works only on HTML, CSS, and what comes after EPUB. However, W3C is actively working on many new standards that will impact publishers in all segments. There is a family of groups at W3C dedicated to accessibility, including web accessibility education and outreach; groups work on security, data, real-time communication, and permissions; designers contribute to cutting-edge CSS and fonts.
So much of the publishing workflow is touched by standards. In this talk, Tzviya Siegman (Wiley) will offer an in-depth overview of the publishing activity at W3C, including the documents planned for publication in 2018 and beyond. Karen Myers (W3C) will highlight several standards and areas of interest that affect publishing, such as web payments, credentials, and virtual reality, while explaining how everyone can get involved as the community strives toward the fulfillment of "great expectations" for a new future of publishing on the Web.

The #eprdctn community never sleeps, and there are countless opportunities to get involved in steering the present and future of digital publishing. Here's a quick overview of industry working groups.
The Inclusive Publishing Initiative: Practicalities of Accessibility for the ...DAISY Consortium
London Book Fair 2017 presentation. Richard Orme focused on Google Foundation funded work to define a “Baseline for Accessibility”. This project is comprised of 4 strands: standards, conformance, reading systems and promotion – all vital in the next steps towards mainstream accessibility.
ION Toronto, 11 November 2013: The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standardizes the protocols and services that vendors implement and network operators are supposed to deploy and use. We believe there is an opportunity to better identify, capture, and promote best current operational practices documents emerging from various regional network operators’ groups. We believe sharing these documents across the globe would benefit the wider Internet community and help more operators deploy new technologies like IPv6 and DNSSEC faster and easier. Many operators need down-to-earth information on how to fix their current issues and how to implement new technologies coming out of the IETF. How can the Internet Society help facilitate this work?

Medium-sized versions of Wikipedia use tools from large encyclopedias for its management. Using the example of the Arabic version and its extensive use of the English version tools, we will demonstrate the shortcomings of this approach. In the second part of the presentation, more effective tools from other versions of Wikipedia that have the same characteristics or tools from the Arab community of Wikipedians will be exposed.

Who Does What to Make Great EPUB? How to Build an Airplane in Mid-Air - Sabin...BookNet Canada
Many of us have been working with the EPUB standard for several years, but one long-standing challenge for Canadian publishers, particularly small ones, is that the requirements for accessible EPUB 3 can seem very daunting. Recent work by Laura Brady shows that many Canadian publishers are still producing EPUB 2, and those who are producing EPUB 3 are not making great use of accessibility features.
To try to address some of the problems, we’re working on an accessible publishing summit to be held in November or January. The purpose of this summit is to better understand who can do what to create accessible EPUB files, and then explain this work to stakeholders along the EPUB publishing chain. Our overall goal is to support publishers in making their books accessible from the start — this approach both maximizes the market for reading, and saves taxpayer funds on alternate-format production for students and other readers who have print disabilities.
If a book is produced correctly, it will work with a variety of assistive technology tools without requiring further intervention. To get to that point, we need to agree about what our standards are, and then build an understanding of the workflows that are most likely to result in meeting those standards. This is what we hope to do at our summit, and then present at ebookcraft 2019.

Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

4. EPUB Development Status
• EPUB 3.1 update nearing completion
– Revision has focused on stability and specification rigor
• New EPUB Accessibility Profile has been created
• EPUB for Education Profile stabilized
– Major global publishers have endorsed
5. Organizational Collaborations
• W3C
• BISG
– EPUBTest launched Feb 2014
• DAISY
– Accessibility baseline inc. certification
• IMS Global and EDUPUB Alliance
• ISO EPUB JWG
– EPUB 3.0 became ISO/IEC TS 30135 in Dec 2014
• Readium Foundation – open source for EPUB
– Formed April 2013
– Now over 70 members, dozens of adoptions of Readium SDK, 600K
active users of Readium for Chrome
– Open source interoperable DRM (Readium LCP) launching this year
• EDRLab – Paris R&D center
– Announced August 2015 with 1.5 million Euros in funding
6. EDRLab Status
• CTO and evangelist hired and on board
– Laurent Le Meur
• EDRLab also funding
– Evangelist (Cyril Labordrie)
– Part-time Sr. Developer (Daniel Weck)
– Open DRM Consultant (Bill Rosenblatt)
• EDRLab organized extremely successful inaugural EPUB
Summit in Bordeaux in April
8. EPUB and Online Web Content
• EPUB is layered on the Open Web Platform (OWP) but not
truly a part of it
– Browsers don’t yet natively support EPUB or key building blocks
(e.g. Media Overlays)
• Converting from website to EPUB is possible but a
somewhat heavy process
– Browser-based EPUB viewers (e.g. Readium Cloud) are large &
complex
– Converting arbitrary Web content to EPUB not always well-defined
• So currently, content publishers must use different tools
and approaches for EPUB and for Web pages/sites
• Wouldn’t it be great if we had a fully converged platform…?
9. PWP: Two Key Goals
• Seamless transition between online and offline (for
content creators and users)
• Seamless transition between packaged and distributed
content (for content creators and users)
• Achieving these two goals would enable architectural
convergence of EPUB and the Open Web Platform and
deliver benefits for Web content in general
• More things would be required for full feature-level
convergence and first-class portable documents in OWP
– Reliable navigation
– Pagination support
– A11Y support (e.g. Media Overlays)
– PDF features not yet in EPUB (e.g digital signatures)
10. PWP Background
• Originally motivated by “EPUB+Web” white paper co-
published by W3C and IDPF in late 2014
• Became key focus for W3C Digital Publishing Interest Group
(DPUB IG)
• Not a format specification at this stage but a vision for
convergence with some proof-of-concept prototyping
• Latest Editors Draft: http://w3c.github.io/dpub-pwp/
12. IDPF Mission and Strategy
• Mission: foster global adoption of an
open, accessible, interoperable digital
publishing ecosystem that enables
innovation
• Strategy: develop (collaboratively) and
promote EPUB as the universal accessible
interchange and delivery ecosystem for
digital publications advancing the Open
Web platform
13. Not Part of Current IDPF Strategy
• General promotion of eBooks & digital publishing
– eBooks now an accepted medium
– Other organizations can promote on a regional basis
• General education about digital publishing (including
conferences)
– Numerous digital publishing conferences around the world, IDPF
doesn’t add unique value
• Business forum / club for digital publishing stakeholders
– Business issues tend to be regional in nature
– Antitrust considerations
– For many, p- and e- not separate businesses
– There’s a hashtag for that…
14. Why EPUB Being “Universal” Matters
1. Digital content distribution is global not
local
2. Accessibility plank of our mission is
applicable to all publications and
documents
3. If we aren’t universal we will end up a
niche solution and ultimately a dead-end
– PDF will be “replaced” by something accessible,
mobile-ready and Web Standards-based: it will either
be the evolution of EPUB or something else
– Horizontal platforms win over vertical platforms
15. Needs to Execute on Our Strategy
1. Increase in scale to get the work done and
be credible
2. Broaden our community to be inclusive of
all digital publishing stakeholders
3. Ensure that EPUB succeeds as the
universal solution
16. EPUB Stakeholders Growing
• EDU publishing adopting EPUB 3
– EDUPUB Alliance catalyzed by Pearson has led to EPUB for
Education profile
– HMH adopting EPUB 3 for all content, running for IDPF Board
• Japanese publishing industry widely using EPUB 3 for e-
manga as well as trade eBooks
– Print-on-demand solutions for EPUB starting to emerge
• IDPF gaining members from enterprise/organization
publishing
– IBM, Cisco, European Union Publications Office, etc.
• Accessibility mandates aligning with EPUB 3
• Google Docs exports EPUB 3
17. W3C Alignment –
Status Quo Has Become Problematic
• W3C Digital Publishing IG working towards a vision of
“Portable Web Publications”(PWP, originally EPUB+Web)
• PWP work is creating confusion with IDPF EPUB roadmap
– Intersecting sets of participants
– Not clear if PWP is future version of EPUB or new spec(s)
• Accessibility imperative makes W3C alignment more critical
– EPUB already based on W3C HTML5, CSS3, and SVG
– Now we add W3C WCAG 2 as another key building block
18. Benefits to Combining IDPF and W3C
• Broaden community with increased visibility, credibility
• Significantly increase scale
– W3C: 70 staff, 4 hosts (US, France, Japan, China), 20 offices
• Promote a universal solution for Web-native portable
documents that validates and builds on EPUB
• Support critical dependency we already have on OWP
– EPUB won’t succeed unless W3C succeeds
– Improving browser support for publishing features (e.g. CSS) will
help EPUB and other publishing workflows
• Gets us to Royalty Free IP policy
19. W3C Combination Proposal Summary
• W3C validates EPUB 3.x, assumes ongoing development of EPUB,
and integrates EPUB community via an expanded Publishing
Activity & WG
• IDPF members in good standing grandfathered to Interim
Industry Member status for 2 years @ current IDPF rates
– Full WG participation and AC powers wrt Digital Publishing Activity and
related WGs
• After 2 years IIMs can
– Continue to participate in Publishing Business Group at BG fees
(comparable to IDPF member fees)
– Become full W3C members
• IDPF Board members seed Publishing Steering Committee
– Ultimately to be elected by DPBG
• IDPF ED becomes lead for Activity as member of W3C
management team
20. Risks/Concerns
• W3C Efficacy
– Issues with process, control
– W3C backstop includes TBL as benevolent dictator
– No guarantees that we will get a timely EPUB 4
– W3C != Open Web Platform (browsers really control it)
• Publishing getting lost in the shuffle as one industry vertical
among many
• Losing egalitarian community of IDPF due to costs of W3C
• Continued coordination, timing concerns between EPUB 3.1 and
EPUB4/PWP even under one “roof”
• Transition disruption esp. to people and processes
• Are we getting the best deal possible for IDPF members?
21. Combination Process
• Currently communicating with members, gathering
feedback and refining proposal
• IDPF Board elections recently completed: 8 of 14
members just elected
• New IDPF Board considering if and when to call for a
vote to approve a combination
• Any vote will be a clear process according to our
bylaws, etc.
– More details of proposed combination will be shared
– Integrated roadmap being developed
• W3C due diligence & approval process will proceed in
parallel in coordinated manner
• IDPF members invited to W3C TPAC Lisbon (Sep 19-22)
22. Feedback to Date
• Ensure EPUB 3 adoption is not undermined
• Where will issues around implementation, adoption, best
practices, business issues reside?
• Make sure publishing doesn’t get dissolved inside W3C
• Need to clarify scope and authority of Publishing Business
Group as in effect the “Publishing Division of W3C”
• Need more details of W3C process
– E.g. spec approval criteria
