cmhobbs
i'd like to participate with the socialwg. what's the best place to start? i'm combing the wiki now and reading as much as i can to get up to speed

tantek
cmhobbs: you're starting at the right place!
#
cmhobbs
i filled out the invited expert form and i've consumed a boatload of documentation surrounding the group
#
cmhobbs
i've not participated with the w3c before but i'm really excited about what socialwg appears to be doing
#
tantek
great - sounds like you're finding your way!
#
cmhobbs
my only concern on the invited expert form was that it asked about the company i work for. i highly doubt they'll care much about my interaction with the w3c if it requires activity from them
#
tantek
do you have your own personal website?
#
cmhobbs
they're more focused on making money. they do give me time to spend time on things like the fsf directory meeting with some regularity
#
cmhobbs
libernil.net/~cmhobbs is about me
#
cmhobbs
i'm going to be replacing it with smallest federated wiki probably this weekend
#
cmhobbs
i do run a gnu social instance there as well
#
cmhobbs
and i'm on pump.io if that's more your style: nilmethod@microca.st
#
cmhobbs
i found socialwg because evan noted is status on pump
#
cmhobbs
i started a client library for pump and i've tinkered with activity streams via gnu social a bit
#
cmhobbs
i saw the association between activity streams and the socialwg and it piqued my interest
#
tantek
cmhobbs - is there a *primary* personal site that you use?
#
tantek
or how do you decide what to post where?
#
cmhobbs
are you referring to blog content or just general content that i publish on the web?
#
cmhobbs
i own and operate libernil.net
#
cmhobbs
so i suppose that'd be the answer you're looking for
#
cmhobbs
it's got a few facets, though
#
cmhobbs
if it's daily updates/microblogging, it'll go to my gnu social instance at status.libernil.net. if it's static content, it'll reside somewhere off the root domain
#
cmhobbs
er, somewhere *on* libernil.net itself
#
tantek
how does someone just follow you?
#
tantek
do they have to follow all the places?
nicolagreco joined the channel
#
cmhobbs
it's a gnu social instance
#
cmhobbs
https://microca.st/nilmethod is a good fallback, my gnu social posts are mirrored there
#
tantek
interesting
#
cmhobbs
i intend to run my own pump.io instance, potentially as early as this weekend
#
cmhobbs
i just haven't set it up yet
#
cmhobbs
is that the info you needed?
#
cmhobbs
i apologize for the wall of text, i think i just misunderstood your question at first

tantek, i'm going to log off for the evening. i'll be sure to idle here tomorrow and keep reading the documentation surrounding the socialwg. thanks for your time!
#
tantek
cool!
#
tantek
cmhobbs - checkout indiewebcamp.com too
#
tantek
especially since you're already active on you're own indieweb site

bret
I'm still having a hard time getting onto the wiki
#
tantek
bret - account problems still?
#
bret
ya :(
#
bret
i can log in and reset my account info
#
bret
but that info does not work for the wiki
#
bret
even after changing the pasword and waiting a week
#
bret
yikes, maybe the password isnt correct
#
tantek
that's darn annoying :(
#
tantek
could you ask about it in the #sysreq channel?
#
tantek
harry is on vaca so he can't help with this for the next week or so.

#
AnnBassetti
most people still need to move to /socialig IRC channel, if that's the meeting you want to be in
#
AnnBassetti
notes happening there
#
tantek
is lurking in IRC
#
tantek
harry - could you preserve the previous topic when adding info about socialIG? we lost the links to the logs and next meeting etc. which is not good.
