Big_Boy Hey

#
cwebber2 hello
RichardLitt joined the channel
#
cmhobbs 'lo
#
cwebber2 hey cmhobbs
#
cmhobbs hey hey
#
cwebber2 was just thinking about, there was some talk about getting GNU Social, Friendica, Diaspora people involved... what's happened with that?
#
cwebber2 I did tell someone involved with Diaspora that they really ought to be getting involved, and to encourage the rest of them, but not sure what happened or if they brought that conversation forward
#
tantek cwebber2: I look at it from the view point of getting more people involved who use implementations on their own websites
#
tantek rather than just implementers
#
tantek perhaps ask someone who uses Diaspora on their own personal site to get involved?
#
tantek rather than just "someone involved with Diaspora"?
#
tantek regarding, GNU Social, mattl is here :)
#
cwebber2 tantek: hm, do you think getting diaspora site admins involved is more valuable at this time than Diaspora developers
#
cwebber2 yes that's true
#
tantek yes - if you admin your own site with an implementation, you likely understand the trade-off much better than just an implementer
#
tantek we have found this to be *very* valuable in the indiewebcamp community
#
tantek so much so that we strongly suggest implementers selfdogfood if they want to be taken seriously
#
cwebber2 tantek: I agree on the implementer selfdogfood :)
#
tantek http://indiewebcamp.com/selfdogfood
#
cwebber2 maybe the right intersection is to find some diaspora implementers that also run their own sites.

mattl tantek: I am here but I'm in Amsterdam and about to get on a boat
