=====Purpose=====


  *  The architecture team has been tasked with defining an overall architecture for [[https://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting|OpenPrinting]] to include areas already identified as needing to be covered.  The team is also tasked with resolving conflict between components and identifying common terminology, interfaces and infrastructure to be addressed. 
=====News/Status=====

  *  Currently, the main activity of the US/European part of LF OpenPrinting is in this group. 

=====Operating Methodology=====


  *  This workgroup is communicating via weekly telecons and followup email. email communication is performed using the [[mailto:printing-architecture@lists.linux-foundation.org|[1]]] email list. 

=====Current Specification=====


  *  The most recent work can be found at [[ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fsg/architecture/|[2]]] 
=====Implementation(s)=====

  *  Implementations of various components can be found with individual projects.  An overall end-to-end implementation using components defined in other projects is planned as the components become available.
