# 13:52 Juraj_Sivak howdy, what's wrong with page microformats.org?

# 13:59 neuro` Seems it's down again, I send tantek an alert
# 15:03 tantek server is responding for me - just a bit busy
# 15:06 tantek ok I restarted it to clear out requests - try now neuro` and Juraj_Sivak (welcome btw!)
# 15:07 neuro` tantek: do you need a mirror somewhere? I can provide that

# 15:11 neuro` tantek: what are you using? a Wordpress and some wiki?
# 15:12 neuro` I'll have a look at the best way to mirror them
# 15:12 neuro` I come back to you within 1-2 days. I'm a bit busy this week.
# 15:12 Loqi neuro` meant to say: I come back at you within 1-2 days. I'm a bit busy this week.
# 15:26 tantek sounds good neuro` - let me know if you have any more questions.

# 15:30 neuro` tantek: I have. Can you setup some DNS round robin based either on Geo IP or on Microformats.org availability or on current load?
# 15:31 tantek neuro` - possibly - maybe we can start with a hostname like mirror.microformats.org so we can try it out?
# 15:31 neuro` or eu.microformats.org and a redirect when people com from Europe
# 15:32 neuro` I think a read only mirror will be the best option.
# 15:32 tantek I'm not sure round robin will work for now because editing the wiki should always edit one db.
# 15:37 neuro` Got it. A daily static mirror using wget will do it.
# 15:37 neuro` And will prevent me from installing PHP on my servers
# 15:42 tantek neuro` - and you could use the recent changes page to see what to update
# 15:43 neuro` Hmm, my daily work will have to wait, starting to script that
# 15:43 tantek I wonder if you could hold off on updates from first time wiki users as a way of avoiding mirroring spam
# 15:44 neuro` This server is a 8 core, 64GB ram on a 1gb line, should handle the trafic
# 15:47 neuro` If you see lots of trafic from 88.190.13.197, it's me
# 16:09 tantek you added yourself to the IRC page but with a red-link to your User page ;)
# 16:30 tantek btw - say hi to Christophe if you see him, I don't usually see him in IRC, and great to see the updates to the French pages on microformats!

# 17:13 sandbags hey, sorry to bother you guys but do any of you know anywhere that people actively discuss the RSS & Atom syndication formats?
# 17:16 singpolyma sandbags: Atom will be discussed on appropriate IETF mailing lists, IIRC
# 17:16 singpolyma RSS... the RDF ones are probably W3C and thus not open to the public
# 17:17 sandbags i'm really more looking for somewhere that developers using these formats might hang out
# 17:18 sandbags but not really what i have in mind
# 17:18 sandbags perhaps the answer to my question is no
# 17:19 sandbags well a concrete example: I'm looking to implement replies and considering whether to use <atom:link rel="related"> as the mechanism but consider it to be a stretch, yet do i want to define a custom namespace for this? Or perhaps there's already a recognised namespace someone is using. Discuss.
# 17:19 sandbags i can very well post this as a question on SO and hope someone relevant may wander across it
# 17:20 sandbags but, for example, i'd expect better luck with a mailing list that developers of RSS/Atom based apps hung out on
# 17:20 sandbags IRC channel, forum, etc...
# 17:21 sandbags ah, so the answer to my question was: here :)
# 17:21 sandbags is there a good reference to defined extensions?
globbot joined the channel
# 17:22 singpolyma There isn't really a registry of "atom-related" namespaces, AFAIK
# 17:22 singpolyma any interested XML namespace can be mixed in to either ATOM or RSS, ofc :)
# 17:22 sandbags yeah, i wasn't really coming up with anything terribly useful searching
# 17:23 sandbags that's why the lock-down of the RSS2.0 format isn't really a major concern
# 17:23 sandbags i'm already using <atom:category> in our RSS2 feeds
# 17:23 sandbags although the feed validator gets the hump about it
# 17:23 sandbags what do you develop btw?
# 17:24 sandbags was wondering if you're developing a product and, if so, what it was you developed
# 17:24 sandbags but i found your website so i think i answered my own q
# 17:25 singpolyma I suppose in this community I'm a "DiSo" guy. Or was. We don't really talk about DiSo anymore since the main guys went to Google
# 17:26 sandbags diso i'm not familiar with
# 17:26 singpolyma It's mostly a bunch of distributed-social-networking-esque WordPress plugins
# 17:26 sandbags just looking at some of it now
# 17:26 singpolyma the profile and actionstream on my homepage are powered by three of the plugins
# 17:27 sandbags i used to be part of an "own your silo" company back around '05/'06 ... but we were much too early
# 17:27 sandbags mainly trying to target CRM vendors

# 17:28 sandbags it all made perfect sense (particularly in the UK) but nobody was willing to spend the money
# 17:28 sandbags and the board were not willing to endorse my black-ops strategy for drumming up business
# 17:29 sandbags well i guess i can't entirely argue with their being ethical
# 17:29 sandbags probably if they had said "yes" we might have had bigger problems :)
# 17:30 singpolyma I think it's kind of funny that two of the guys who used to be big in DiSo are now in Google+, which is like the opposite of distributed or indie
# 17:31 sandbags reading the recent arguments Google are putting forth about how profiles are socially relevant etc... they all make perfect sense
# 17:31 sandbags except for the part where Google own the profile
# 17:31 singpolyma well, I have no problem with Google owning the profiles of people who want to have Google own their profiles
# 17:31 sandbags but that's not how these things play right now :)
# 17:32 sandbags there will be a flip at some point
# 17:32 singpolyma Really, microblogging is still my main social media thing, which is why my actionstream is such a big part of my "own your data" strategy
# 17:32 sandbags when things get hot and permission based marketing actually looks like making more money for them
# 17:32 sandbags yeah my current company is all about own your content
# 17:32 sandbags decide your rules of engagement
# 17:33 sandbags not a million miles from DiSO :)

# 17:59 tantek sandbags, you might want to take a look at both hAtom and the efforts to figure out a comments microformat as well (as an extended re-use of hAtom)
# 18:06 sandbags tantek: thanks will take a look but, no site
# 18:22 neuro` tantek: mirroring still on its way, it seems the site is a little bigger than expected.
weavejester joined the channel
# 19:03 tantek neuro' the site is pretty big - especially when you include the email archives
# 19:03 tantek in addition, I wonder if we should figure out a way to locally host IRC logs
# 19:04 tantek of course I'm sure that would start with a discussion of what format to use for the logs ;)
# 19:20 singpolyma I think IRC logs are pretty unambiguous in plain text. Though you could use <time> and hcard if you like
# 19:29 jurajsivak maybe it can contains topic, if it is sets
chiui, weavejester, termie and chiui_ joined the channel
# 21:02 neuro` tantek: it's now mirroring the whole mailing list archive. I think it will be up tomorrow. I've setup a mirror.microformats.org, I'll let you know when everything is done.
# 21:02 neuro` tantek: I'll see how I can correlate irc logs with hcard and our IRC people page
