#
tantek
is wondering about the dresscode of the Personal Cloud / Data Ecosystem crowd
#
benwerd
is wearing the same dresscode he always wears: jeans, t-shirt, shirt
#
aaronpk
i'm very curious to hear how that goes!
#
tantek
what did people dress/look like when you were at there last time?
#
tantek
aaronpk - I'm very curious too
#
aaronpk
wonder if there will be any tweets to follow
#
benwerd
tantek: some are dressed up because they've just come from managerial work, others are in jeans & t-shirts
#
aaronpk
drop the event hashtag in here if you get a chance
#
tantek
alright I documented my hack of an rsvp implementation with all the awkward limitations: http://indiewebcamp.com/Falcon#Post_Types
#
benwerd
it's pretty informal

assuming there is one

#
tantek
benwerd did you ever post an indieweb event of tonight's event?
#
benwerd
argh. I did not
#
tantek
raises an interesting question since there's already an Eventbrite
#
tantek
I mean, since there's an existing Eventbrite - it's probably bad form to POSSE to a new Eventbrite
#
aaronpk
i've been posting copies of events on my site, pointing them back to the canonical with u-url
#
tantek
aaronpk - so that's like reblogging an event
#
tantek
interesting
#
aaronpk
yes exactly
#
aaronpk
re-eventing lol
#
tantek
where should the webmentions go for RSVPs in that case?
#
aaronpk
RSVPs to my URL are sent to my site. maybe there should be an attempt at pushing RSVPs upstream?
smus joined the channel
#
tantek
general question applies for reposts in general
#
aaronpk
there seems to be more value at aggregating all RSVPs than there is to aggregate all comments
#
tantek
if someone links to or comments on a repost - should the repost host forward the webmention?
#
aaronpk
well if you think about it, it would happen natually
#
tantek.com

(view diff)
#
aaronpk
assuming the repost displays the comment
#
tantek
aaronpk - "naturally"?!?
#
aaronpk
a webmention is really just a realtime notification of a link from one site to another
#
aaronpk
oh I guess not then... following the trail of links in my head.
#
aaronpk
i'm hesitant to overload webmention with any semantics beyond "page A links to page B", it seems like it would be better to have anything more complicated elsewhere
#
tantek
aaronpk - agreed. I think it might be something that "repost" implementations are responsible for.
#
tantek
a "respost" MUST forward webmentions to the original
#
tantek
that kind of thing
#
aaronpk
well the webmention would technically be invalid
#
aaronpk
if I repost one of your things and someone links to mine, their page didn't link to yours so I can't say it did
#
tantek
so forwards won't work
#
tantek
then it's up to the original reply/rsvp
#
aaronpk
however I can say "my page received a new comment, here's a webmention ping again"
#
aaronpk
and your site could find all comments on mine and do with it what you will
#
tantek
is that better? or is it better to make it the responsibility of the site that is doing the reply in the first place?
#
aaronpk
the natural behavior of the web would be the way I described it. it would take extra effort to do/enforce the site creating the reply
#
tantek
aaronpk - I agree. E.g. what about reposts of resposts etc?
smus joined the channel
#
tantek
make it easier on the edges
#
tantek
and slightly more work for those receiving the webmentions
#
tantek
does bret have a name for his posting software/tool?

edited /rsvp (+752) "/* IndieWeb Implementations */ appears I'm the fourth to implement RSVPs? That doesn't sound right. Who else has and hasn't added themselves here?"
(view diff)
#
tantek
am I only the fourth person to implement RSVP posts?!?
#
tantek
I find that hard to believe
#
tantek
so every implementation of RSVP was present at the 2nd xoxofest indiewebcamp breakfast.
#
tantek
unless - did Barnaby implement RSVP?
#
tantek
alright, packing up to head to the event
#
benwerd
distinct platform owners who have RSVPed on my site are aaronpk, bret & npdoty
#
tantek
hopefully benwerd can post an event on his site that I can RSVP to
#
benwerd
ok ok will be my last act before I get out of here

!tell tantek, name is still up in the air. part of my schtick was trying to to do everything in Jekyll safe mode, so I think just referring to the project as Jekyll is fine for now (since that software is so flexible). but if you must, we can call it brekyll :p

I'm a bit weary to use pump for my main site though. I'll have to experiment more
#

hmm what markup should I use for a presentation? h-entry?

it's not the individual slides, just info about the presentation

maybe it's an event actually

maybe I should drop the whole presentations feed from my site

maybe they are actually events of type "presentation" http://aaronparecki.com/presentations

wyomingplease - I recommend pinging bret (here in the channel) about Brekyll - he's been successfully posting indieweb comments from his Jekyll install.
#
wyomingplease
thanks for the info, tantek, I am still exploring various options, although in the meantime I've come to the realization that comments aren't really mandatory - people rarely comment on anything that I write online, so… :)
#
tantek
wyomingplease - how about starting with adding yourself to http://indiewebcamp.com/irc-people ? :)

wyomingplease
tantek - that would be a nice idea, I'll add myself right away :)

well, I'll need to sort out my IndieAuth thing first… :)

#
wyomingplease
I'm looking at this IndieAuth thing, and while I completely understand the rationale behind the way it has been created, I'd like to ask for others' opinion of making a decentralized and self - hosted identity management solution which will basically enable people to make their own online profile which they can then use to sign in across the web, without the need to have a domain name of their own (although they can if
#
wyomingplease
they desire so). Would that be a good idea? It could later expand and become a commenting engine, etc. What are your thoughts on this?
#
cweiske
openid :)
earplugs joined the channel
#
wyomingplease
well, it's a bit… cumbersome, don't you think? :)
#
tommorris
wyomingplease: that already exists: Persona.
#
tommorris
the point of IndieAuth is it enforces a social preference towards owning your own domain
#
wyomingplease
tommorris - I know about Persona, but it looks like it relies on having an email address, right?
#
wyomingplease
well what I'm thinking about is having a place where you completely control your information when you sign in on the web, you can choose what pieces of personal info you want to send to the service, and you don't depend on any specific domain/email address/whatever, the service could basically send a secret token every time someone signs in somewhere, that kind of thing
#
cweiske
wyomingplease, openid lets you specify which information to give out
#
wyomingplease
cweiske - sure, but as I said, it tends to be a little bit cumbersome :)
#
cweiske
for whom?
#
wyomingplease
well, can you simply download a source of OpenID and then put it whenever you want?
#
cweiske
simpleid for example is a small self-hosted openid provider application
#
cweiske
runs on every php-enabled web server
#
wyomingplease
that's another story then...

jernst, perhaps you could consider permitting indieauth sign-in on the personal clouds wiki?

tantek
I'm sure aaronpk can point you to the necessary mediawiki plugin :)
#
jernst
you have a point there … domains are expensive, so people won't waste them. I do remember the milestone when I received the first OpenID spammer
#
tantek
would be good for personal-clouds to encourage use of personal-web-identity :)
#
jernst
Happy to do that.
#
aaronpk
should probably update the mediawiki indieauth plugin to do the first discovery step so it's not permatied to indieauth.com
#
jernst
Personal-clouds.org is actually provisioned via cldstr.com, so we'd have to create a suitable package, but that's not hard.
