And you addressed your parent comment... how exactly?

Parent comment says I should not be known and my picture should not be on the blog post. I just want to disagree with that. In my opinion JPEG XL is a notable success and it is also ok to celebrate us, its makers.

That is the opposite of what parent comment says. It took offence on a generated photo of you. It would have been better to not have anything than a generated image.

Because it is an international standard accepted by government and many other parties.

I just don't get why an image format needs the ceremony from being an international standard accepted by governments. It's just an image format; governments shouldn't be involved in this at all. What did ISO give the JPEG XL team that made paywalling the standard worth it? Did ISO pay them or something?

I think you got it the other way around. It is JPEG XL has to pay for it to be published by ISO and certified. And the document will be edited and audited in part.

And in turns government choose format that is protected and safest to use. ISO is ( or was ) part of that equation.

I made that AI rendering and consider it demonstrates the conceptual discussions we had likely better than what an actual whiteboard drawing would look like. An actual whiteboard drawing from our day to day work would be very confusing without a lot of context and discussion. I have to admit that whiteboard drawings were somewhat rare in our real JPEG XL development, but it has been an intensively collaborative effor…

> consider it demonstrates the conceptual discussions Photos do not, cannot, demonstrate discussions except in the most superficial and pointless way. There are two reasons to show a photo of anything: 1) To share the experience of having been in a particular place in a particular moment of time, 2) to share what something looks like. Your image does not share an experience of having been in a particular place in a p…
