#
rubenverborgh Hi all, was at a privacy workshop today and someone pointed me to this IRC.
#
rubenverborgh Wanted to let you know that I will be at FOSDEM this Sunday, and that I'm more than happy to listen to anyone.
#
rubenverborgh I have heard the craziest things about myself, so you probably want to confirm with me in person just how crazy I am 🙂
#
rubenverborgh One thing you might want to update is https://indieweb.org/Inrupt: I am not and have never been an Inrupt employee. My correct resume is here: https://ruben.verborgh.org/resume/
#
rubenverborgh I am a volunteer and have never been paid for any of my Solid work.
#
rubenverborgh So fellow volunteers on indieweb or other decentralized initiatives, let's have a chat and/or a beer on Sunday. Looking forward to meeting you there!

#
jgmac1106 rubenverborgh I made the edit, you can see it the indieweb-meta channel. I also added a history section
#
jgmac1106 please feel free to edit the dfn to further reduce any bias and replace with a dfn. I also added a history section. Figure you or sl007 would be best to fill that out
#
jgmac1106 some examples from other platform https://indieweb.org/Mastodon https://indieweb.org/WordPress.com https://indieweb.org/PixelFed pages…looks like no standard taxonomy but happy to ses criticism go to criticism section rather than dfn
#
sl007 Why should we now correct the Fake News or rumours which other people wrote to the wiki. Feeling this is NOT our task !!!
#
rubenverborgh Thanks @jgmac1106.
#
rubenverborgh I prefer not to edit stuff about myself; I'm not a good judge for that.
#
sl007 As said: Same here !
#
rubenverborgh But while I'm here, happy to make other suggestions.
#
jgmac1106 rubenverborgh, yeah I edited the quote, thx for the member check. sl007 watch the term “fake news” it is loaded and now useless. Do agree on restructuring to reduce bias but I do not see any claim on the page not backed up with quotes
#
sl007 It might be loaded in the US. In germany it is well defined !
#
rubenverborgh One claim that is not backed up is "(unpaid)". I did never request such a thing.
#
rubenverborgh Solid is a project, and I would love diverse people to come to it. Some people are volunteers, some pay the bills with Solid.
#
rubenverborgh And diversity meaning many things: profession (devs, artists, lawyers, economists)
#
rubenverborgh also cultural and ethnic diversity, people who use screenreaders etc.
#
rubenverborgh would be super happy to engage with them
#
rubenverborgh Final nit: the "closest I can find" text states "@jensimmons Please activate your network to come and join the Solid community. That would help us a lot. As you know, W3C (which is Tim's background) has a very strong view on diversity, and there's no doubt on my mind he is taking the same vision to Solid and Inrupt."
#
jgmac1106 Just do not want anyone to leave with impression the negative connotation of the page has to do with Linked Data rather than historical evidenc: It is tru TBL said “world domination” is mission, it is truye Inrupt rolled out like anoy other start up…a post on Medium…, they have taken VC money…we try to stay economic nuetral but VC screwed social media…diversity efforts, like everyone, early on needed work
