[MPEG-OTSPEC] Scheduling Zoom meeting to discuss new proposals and AHG recommendations

[Dominik Röttsches]

COLRv1 rendering in Python exists in
https://github.com/BlackFoundryCom/black-renderer - that's using fonttools
for parsing, to my knowledge, not using FreeType, but you can probably take
inspiration from the drawing backends of blackrenderer. Or then,
potentially through pycairo if it has a recent cairo backing it. Or then
https://pypi.org/project/skia-python/ - I haven't tested that and I don't
know if that's built with FreeType in it, but if it is, it should support
COLRv1 as well.
