# 15:39 harry I forwarded you all the IEs I could find. # 15:39 harry There may be more missing, and I've been trying to get sysreq to fix the system # 15:39 harry but I cannot spend any more time trawling through the archive and arguing with sysreq that their system is broken. # 15:40 tantek harry - agreed re: sysreq and their system is broken. # 15:40 tantek I'm happy to raise this to the AB if you like # 15:40 harry My feeling is we should have only *implementers* and that Semantic Web vocabularies do not count as implementaitons. # 15:41 tantek Here is my proposed alternative process for IE applications: # 15:41 tantek 1. create a W3C account to login to the wiki (which requires agreeing to all the W3C IE participation requirements, contribution licensese etc.) # 15:41 tantek 3. join IRC here (#social) and ask the chairs to review your application # 15:42 Arnaud the w3c too often fails to include users which are hard to get involved # 15:42 tantek harry I agree that we should ONLY have IEs who are implemeters, and I would add, and are *deploying* *live* on their *own sites* with *public* URLs that they share and we can go verify. # 15:43 tantek Arnaud you're wrong about users and involvement etc. especially in the "social web" realm. # 15:43 harry Tantek, we have a number of real working proprietary implementers with large user-bases (IBM, SAP, etc.) thta we can't ignore # 15:43 tantek that's how you get endless email garbage threads # 15:43 tantek like most federated/social/decentralized discussions for the past 10 years # 15:43 Arnaud I think you're wrong about requiring people to have a public domain to qualify as expert # 15:43 tantek Arnaud - not my opinion - fact based on email archives of numerous lists for the past decade # 15:43 harry However, the main issue is people who basically denial-of-service attack the WG with weird designs who aren't actual users # 15:44 harry and who are at best hobbyist implementers # 15:44 Arnaud there is plenty of interesting stuff going on behind firewalls # 15:44 tantek Arnaud - domains are cheap - if people can't afford that, they likely aren't real developers or experts. pfefferle joined the channel
# 15:44 tantek and if they can't code simple static HTML pages to put on their domain they are not experts # 15:44 tantek we don't want people that can only write email # 15:44 harry However, I think we need to keep proprietary implementers # 15:45 tantek Arnaud the non-public web can wait for specs to work for the public web # 15:45 harry So let's say "there must be proof of implementation, ideally in a public URL" # 15:45 Arnaud we already agreed that we could all vouch for invited experts # 15:45 tantek sorry, if you can't ship on a public URL you are not a *web* expert # 15:45 tantek you may be a web *academic* but you're not an expert # 15:45 harry "but exceptions are to made to those with proof of employment at an implementer" # 15:45 Arnaud you're free to use your own criteria, just don't force it on others # 15:45 harry Tantek, in general we are talking about social products at IBM, Boeing, SAP, etc. # 15:46 harry But we also have non-members, Sugar, Jive, etc. # 15:46 tantek so either you're a W3C member and you just join # 15:46 tantek OR you're at some other big company and your big company should join W3C # 15:46 tantek OR you're an independent in which case you have to *prove* your expertise # 15:46 harry In general, for *big* companies, as agreed with W3C Management, we give them 6 months. # 15:46 tantek Arnaud - you seem to have no criteria for expert # 15:46 harry For independents, I agree that we can hold to the "public" case. # 15:47 tantek so I don't see how your opinion is helpful to *choosing* experts # 15:47 harry For W3C member companies or those with 6-month IE status that W3C wants to be member companies, then I am OK with behind firewall products. # 15:47 tantek and saying "that's just your opinion" is not helpful # 15:47 tantek harry, right. either people pay to play, or they ship public to play. # 15:48 harry Arnaud, what do you think of my suggestion? # 15:48 harry For W3C member companies or those with 6-month IE status that W3C wants to be member companies, we accept behind firewall products, otherwise we will require public URIs and working code. # 15:48 harry Then we should revisit the Invited Experts with this new criteria. # 15:49 harry to see if they find the process useful etc. rhiaro_ joined the channel
# 15:49 tantek even I'm not sure if our process is useful :P # 15:50 tantek so far I'm not optimisitic - e.g. by the amount of schema handwaving occuring on the wiki # 15:50 harry I'm trying to make sure the WG doesn't descend into insanity by virtue of being spammed by people with useless "ontologies" and code no-one uses. # 15:50 tantek harry - yeah, that's already happened to the mailing list # 15:50 harry Well, lets correct that by revisting IEs. # 15:50 tantek I'm trying to keep the wiki sane but it's a lot of work # 15:51 tantek harry - schema-org is a who-cares until someone from the oligopoly (Google/MS/Y!/Yandex) joins # 15:51 harry Those IEs that don't fit the criteria and want to talk vocabularies can be redirected to Social IG # 15:51 tantek because there is no evidence of *any* social web usage of any schema-org action/activity # 15:51 tommorris I think Google et al. may have been burned with betting on OpenSocial and watching it fail. # 15:51 harry I'd like to see Google/MS/Y!/Yandex join. # 15:52 harry Anyways, Arnaud - do you agree with my revisiting the IE requirement? # 15:52 tantek harry me as well. so we can table any discussion of schema-org until they do. # 15:52 harry I say we give people who are already IEs a one-month grace period rather than abruptly kick them out, but we announce this. # 15:53 harry One month should be enough time to set-up working code with a URL in this space for an independent. # 15:53 harry Anyways, I don't hear from Arnaud, so let's add this to agenda. # 15:53 tantek rather, *update* your IE criteria per what you said above # 15:53 harry I am strongly against seeing either wiki or mailing list becoming useless. # 15:53 tantek harry, you don't have to wait for Arnaud - go ahead an update your wiki entry # 15:53 Arnaud tantek: in my experience people are granted IE status when they are well known entities # 15:53 tantek doesn't matter if you're against it - the email list is a lost cause # 15:54 tantek unless you start drastically kicking people off # 15:54 harry Many well-known entities are, to quote Ben Laurie, "certifiably insane" # 15:54 tantek Arnaud - someone is not a well known entity unless they have a public URL # 15:54 tommorris An even looser criteria: if you are proposing some technology to base this stuff on, there needs to be an actual implementation of it. I've yet to see an implementation of Hydra or a full implementation of LDP. # 15:54 tantek if you don't have a personal website you may as well not exist on the social web # 15:54 Arnaud you don't even need to ask David why he should be granted IE status # 15:55 tommorris I've seen LDP implementations but none seem to implement Indirect Containers. I'd rather not build on technology that hasn't yet been implemented. ;-) # 15:55 harry I'd rather not build on anything until it has some real working code and real users. # 15:55 harry I think IBM will likely have real working code and real users for their LDP product # 15:55 harry I am not so sure re the other efforts in this space,. # 15:56 harry I'll document my criteria and we can discuss it in the call. # 15:56 harry Re Hydra, all effort on it seems to have stopped about a year ago, unlike say schema.org and ActivityStreams 2.0 # 15:56 tantek this isn't the "social word of mouth take my word for it known entity" working group # 15:57 tantek no public social web URL, no IE status. very simple. # 15:58 tantek harry, I've never even heard of Hydra (except in Captain America and Greek mythology) before seeing it on the wiki # 15:58 tantek so who bothered to take the time to document Hydra? and why? # 15:58 tantek who is using Hydra actively on their personal public website? # 15:58 harry I think we let the author in as an IE due to his pointing out his work on Github # 15:59 harry I detest people who try to force their particular hobbyhorse solution (that has no users or industrial uptake) down people's throats # 15:59 harry So let's try to avoid that at all costs. That hurts the WG and it hurts the W3C # 15:59 tantek tommorris - that's a nice URL for a *book*. Do you have a URL for David Wood himself? # 16:00 tantek I really don't care if someone has published a dead tree book about some concept. # 16:00 tommorris (I was Googling because I keep track of RDF-land but hadn't heard of him.) # 16:00 tantek If you claim to be an expert about "Structured data on the Web" - let's see your *website* with "Structured data" Arnaud1 joined the channel
# 16:01 tantek harry - we can ignore people who don't create websites, because it is irrelevant what they propose - they will never build anything. # 16:02 tantek you're not going to email your way into building a website. # 16:02 harry Anyways, my proposal is we suggest the new improved IE criteria for the WG during this call # 16:02 harry and then we give folks a "one-month" grace period # 16:02 Arnaud1 this only reflects one use case # 16:02 tantek harry - I agree, let's make that clear on the call # 16:03 harry Well Arnaud, you gotta come up a good criterion. After seeing what's happened on the mailing list, I think we need to beef up the criteria to actual implementations with actual users. # 16:04 Arnaud I really don't know why you keep referring to what happend on the list as bad # 16:04 tantek Arnaud, W3C SocialWG participation criteria in general: pay to play, or publish publicly on the social web to play. # 16:04 tantek Arnaud, you're welcome to handhold the academics and armchair enthusiasts then # 16:05 tantek Arnaud - where's YOUR criteria? all you've done so far is reject mine. and rejection of criteria is not critieria itself. # 16:06 tantek right, I have no time for academics and armchair enthusiasts # 16:06 Arnaud you're free to disagree not to ignore what I'm saying # 16:07 tantek so far all you've documented is a rejection of my criteria, which is not criteria # 16:07 tantek I will keep repeating requests for this until you provide it # 16:08 Arnaud it's in the log, you can put copy/paste in the wiki if you care # 16:09 Arnaud you're good at giving others "clerical actions", so have it your way :) # 16:09 harry I do suggest that Arnaud find alternative criteria. # 16:10 harry Being "well-known" is not enough, as lots of unproductive folks are well-known. # 16:10 tantek harry - depends on how we define "well-known" # 16:10 tantek when you search for the person's name on Google # 16:10 tantek on the FIRST PAGE you see a result for their PERSONAL WEBSITE # 16:11 harry Tantek, that's too harsh, no-one controls Google. # 16:11 harry We should let them email us working code and real users as evidence thereof. # 16:11 tantek we should let them email us a URL to working code and real users # 16:13 tantek frankly, if "well-known" is your criteria, perhaps that's more appropriate for the Social IG # 16:13 harry Exactly, that criteria I think is fine for IG # 16:13 tantek Social WG should focus on existing implementations and implementers # 16:13 tantek everyone else is welcome to contribute to the Social IG # 16:30 rhiaro_ Hola. Apologies I can't make the call this evening, I'll be between trains. I have, however, booked tickets and flights for TPAC. And in less than two weeks, my life will be back to normal and I'll be able to get my shit together and perhaps actually contribute something.. # 16:31 sandro I suggest (1) the chairs and staff contact reach consensus on any candidate before they are approved, and (2) approval be based on what needed expertise they bring to the group. # 16:31 sandro There's no need to say anything about running code or "real users". elf-pavlik joined the channel
# 16:39 tantek sandro - exactly. and per Harry and my criteria, we (chairs+contact) are not going to reach consensus on any IE application that does not have a public social website. I for one will veto. # 16:41 tommorris tantek, Arnaud: my apologies for non-attendance. I have an office leaving drinks to go to. # 16:45 tantek tommorris - your explicit regrets are noted. thanks. # 16:46 elf-pavlik ekiga echo test sounds ok but Zakim SIP sounds pretty bad, i may need to listen and type on IRC if voice doesn't work # 16:46 jasnell tantek: please define what you mean by "public social website" in this case. What's the exact criteria # 16:47 tantek social - content posted which mentions other people or other social web content ShaneHudson joined the channel
# 16:47 jasnell so: any existing implementor of on-premise social software designed to be used behind the firewall is automatically excluded? # 16:48 tantek jasnell - for IE status - yes. if all you have is behind firewall, you don't get to be an IE. # 16:48 tantek You may still join W3C and participate as a W3C member # 16:49 tantek frankly I have yet to see useful standards feedback from any "only behind firewall" contributors. # 16:52 jasnell if I produce behind the firewall, on-prem software and have a public website to sell my stuff, does that count? # 16:52 jasnell or are we talking about the url of deployed instances of that software? evanp_ and evanp joined the channel
# 16:53 jasnell the point is: if you're going to attempt to put a restriction like "public social website", you need to be clear what you mean # 16:53 tantek jasnell - irrelevant because IBM is a W3C member. # 16:54 evanp elf-pavlik: hello! # 16:54 tantek like I said, criteria for participation in WG is: # 16:54 Zakim sees XML_ET-TF()11:00AM, WAI_WCAG()11:00AM, Team_(webpayments)15:49Z, SW_HCLS()11:00AM active # 16:54 Zakim sees in schedule T&S_SOCWG()1:00PM, T&S_DNTC()12:00PM, RWC_WAPI()12:00PM, Team_(wpay)15:49Z, WAI_PF(Text)1:00PM, IA_WEBPD()1:00PM # 16:54 tantek EITHER pay to play (W3C member) or publish publicly on the social web to play. # 16:55 tantek ergo if you're a W3C member, you're done. join and participation. no further criteria. # 16:55 elf-pavlik IMO with nice coordiantion with IG and CG we can avoid tensions and still make it possible for everyone interested to participate # 16:55 jasnell what does "publish publicly on the social web" mean? # 16:56 wilkie elf-pavlik: nice work as usual with organization. please, if you want to delegate anything, I can help. jtauber joined the channel
# 16:56 tantek publicly - anyone can view with a web browser with that permalink # 16:57 tantek social - some reference to people (with URLs) in your posts, or in-reply-to such posts # 16:57 tantek web - HTML served over HTTP in response to a URL # 16:57 evanp Zakim: +[IPcaller] is evanp # 16:57 evanp Ugh I get this wrong every time # 16:58 wilkie the diplomacy in this working group is bizarre! # 16:58 Zakim I don't understand your question, elf-pavlik. # 16:58 evanp Zakim, +[IPcaller] is me # 16:58 Zakim sorry, evanp, I do not recognize a party named '+[IPcaller]' # 16:58 Zakim sees on the phone: [IPcaller], jasnell, elf-pavlik # 16:59 evanp Zakim, [IPcaller] is evanp # 16:59 jasnell tantek: imho, that definition is still too vague. # 16:59 jtauber Zakim, [IPcaller] is jtauber # 17:00 tantek jasnell - please provide an example that you think illustrates the vagueness of that definition # 17:00 Loqi tantek meant to say: jasnell - please provide an concrete example with URL that you think illustrates the vagueness of that definition # 17:00 jasnell this WG has not defined what is or is not "social" # 17:00 evanp So I have Antonio Tapiador as the next scribe # 17:00 evanp But I'm not sure he's here # 17:00 tantek is going to be ~5-10min late to the call - will monitor conversation here. # 17:01 tommorris I wish you all luck: based on the IRC logs, I have a funny feeling this call may be rather contentious.

# 17:55 jasnell no, JSON-LD is JSON with some additional bits.

One input to this deliverable is ActivityStreams 2.0. # 17:58 elf-pavlik evanp, can you ask for extra 15min time for this call please? # 17:58 tantek there is canonical JSON output from microformats parsers # 17:58 evanp elf-pavlik: will do # 17:58 bblfish I kind of agree with the points about RDFa/microformats but then we can make it simple: The protocol could be put in terms of RDF then # 17:58 Zakim sees markus, sandro, bblfish on the speaker queue # 17:58 jasnell a minimal JSON syntax can be defined and adopted that is IDENTICAL to the serialization that JSON-LD provides # 17:58 Zakim sees markus, bblfish on the speaker queue # 17:59 harry I'm very pro being implementation driven. # 17:59 sandro tantek: Since the charter was written, it's become mistaken, as we now have microformat-providing servers working well # 17:59 harry We should get back to schema.org folks invite for TPAC. # 17:59 jtauber evanp: extend 15 minutes # 18:00 ShaneHudson There is no reason why json and microformats can not both be options, they would work the same way more or less (as microformats can be parsed as JSON anyway as pointed out) # 18:00 Loqi tantek meant to say: +1 to extending the call # 18:00 sandro ShaneHudson, that would require clients to parse both # 18:00 tantek sandro - I corrected myself, "mistaken" was mis-spoke by me :) # 18:00 tantek why put something simpler (microformats) in terms of something more complex? (RDFa) # 18:01 elf-pavlik I think we *need* more conversation over mailin list before we discuss it during teleconf # 18:01 jtauber bblfish: linked data principles whether in JSON-LD, RDFa microformats # 18:01 tantek disagree that it's difficult for servers. more personal social websites are serving HTML5+microformats than RDFa. # 18:01 jasnell Note: We already agreed previously to split Activity Streams 2.0 into separate Syntax and Vocabulary. The Vocabulary would define the Activity ontology. This vocabulary can be represented in JSON, JSON-LD, HTML, or any other syntax. # 18:02 harry The last thing I want to revisit is the microformat vs. RDFa vs. microdata debate. # 18:02 elf-pavlik evanp, I would like to ask last 5 minutes to discuss *Meeting with Schema.org team @TPAC* # 18:02 tantek and I want to avoid making that kind of decision politically for sure # 18:02 jtauber sandro: one format or variety of interchangable formats? # 18:02 evanp elf-pavlik: thanks, I will try to get us to that # 18:03 harry We have chosen ONE required format, JSON, in the charter. Other syntaxes are optional. # 18:03 jasnell What I suggest is: At a minimum, to address the charter requirement, we require a minimum-to-implement JSON serialization that is compatible with JSON-LD but does not require an implementer to use the JSON-LD processing model to understand # 18:03 jtauber evanp: charter does specify JSON # 18:03 bblfish I think the social web is so big, that in then end you have to accomodate a few different syntaxes.

# 18:04 markus tantek, you stressed several time how strong the adoption is... do you have a pointer to any data... I'm curious # 18:04 jtauber evanp: abstract vocabulary won't be enough for API / protocol parts of scope # 18:04 jasnell We can accomplish this using a properly defined @context # 18:04 wilkie tantek: will you just veto a non-microformat direction regardless of discussion and charter? I think JSON-LD and microformats are both very good and can be both used without too much trouble. # 18:04 tantek markus - yes, documented on w3.org/wiki/socialwg documents and in detail on indiewebcamp.com # 18:04 jtauber aaronpk: HTML + microformat is just syntax # 18:05 harry Note that 99% of RDFa use is Facebook's OGP tag, which uses it incorrectly # 18:05 markus tantek, thanks.. but it's quite hard to find something in the wiki...
