    This is the right scope! Agree, the BOF will only scratch the surface.

    I think we should have the idea of discussin an open source IPP client -
    but one
    that actually provides a useful , working product rather than a simple
    'send
    this job' type of app.

    That means we need to address all sorts of ancillary things like
    discovery,
    directories, platform, data format, drivers, localization ,as well as the
    core
    IPP protocol.

    I think therefore that in this light updf is certainly a possible topic. I
    suspect that we wont get that far though in the bof - we willl discuss
    much
    higer level issues.

    Is the NYC opensource BOF restricted to "IPP Client" or will we be
    addressing the broader topic of opensource "drivers" including UPDF?
