#
oshepherd
I presume the US is definitely off DST now and I don't need to worry about that confusing scheduling until ~March-ish?
#
dret
correct, @osheperd
#
oshepherd
Its' just slightly confusing because I think EU and US must have shifted DST in <1week of each other
#
tantek
US is off DST
#
dret
yup,@oshepherd, they tend to do that just to test how much in control we are of our scheduling and calendaring tools.

Zakim, conferences?

Zakim, conferences?
#
Zakim
I don't understand your question, elf-pavlik.
#
tantek
dret, it helps sell updates to scheduling and calendaring tools, job security for the devs that work on them, etc.
#
oshepherd
notes that between them Outlook and iCalendar seem to disagree on the handling of DST within one country...

Zakim, conference?

I don't understand your question, tantek.

(even without any actual DST shifts)
#
elf-pavlik
Zakim, code?
#
Zakim
sorry, elf-pavlik, I don't know what conference this is
#
tantek
oshepherd: it's because they both have public test results for iCalendar's public test suite. NOT.
#
tantek
(on both counts)
#
elf-pavlik
Zakim, this is SOCWG
#
Zakim

wilkie
evanpro: we have many APIs (google+, twitter, etc) listed as existing social APIs we can look at and we should look at them.
#
wilkie
evanpro: next, once we have a list of APIs considered social APIs, we could break up those APIs in to blocks: what is about content posting, social graph, etc. see if there are areas of functionality in those APIs we haven't talked about yet.

#
Shane
Should we include features that APIs may find useful but that propietary APIs don't have? (I have no examples, it may be a moot point)

tantek: while I agree with the approach of looking at proprietary, previous social-like APIs I think we've made much more progress in the state of the art than just that. We should at least look at what Social APIs we have today that interop... open APIs and see what cases they solve already.

#
tantek
rather than use-cases, when we already have interop
#
wilkie
bblfish: coming from an architecture point of view, I should be able to follow links without worrying much about the services underneath and do so with minimal amount of sync between services. absolute minimum.

MarkCrawford joined the channel
#
tantek
harry - more like ActivityStreams - compatible
#
harry
Good point - i.e. it's not an API for *all possible* social use-cases
#
tantek
there is no hard constraint to be ActivityStreams - centric, just interop
#
harry
but for sharing status updates.
#
wilkie
bblfish: I think cutting things into blocks is a good exercise. the trick is to be is to see can one of these and look at them and find limitations to them based on implementations, or maybe we see, with creativity, we can solve generic problems in a simple manner.
#
tantek
"can have a generic system" is far different than "has a working system"
#
tantek
if "can solve generic problems in a simple manner", then demonstrate proof of that by simply solving the generic problem with your own website/client implementations and document them https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Social_API_candidates

elf-pavlik: difference between today's social APIs like google,fb,twitter, specific domain,

#
harry
I'm pretty sure generic hypermedia APIs are not on topic.
#
tantek
evanpro: why are those different from what we are trying to do
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: because they expect very specific for specific domain
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: support certain concepts, thus API that is limited for those certain concepts
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: but like Hydra, you can discover what it does using JSON-LD

So just to write out what I said earlier: "starting off with the notion of a distributed social web one major constraint is that one should be able to follow links from page to page, jumping between servers, that may never have heard of each other until a user made a link between them, and so yet a software client has to be able from this to be able to work out what he has to do to allow a certain action to take place. This constraint is very s

trong, and it should allow one to narrow down the protocols quite rapidly."
#
wilkie
evanpro: I think that sounds great.

#
wilkie
evanpro: (wrt tantek's question) let me link here that we would have proposals that would link to Social API candidates and we would make a decision as a group.

However, we need someone to write down the requirements - i.e. the editor role I mentioned.

RESOLVED: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Path_towards_Social_API as our process for choosing a Social API strategy
#
wilkie
evanpro: I feel pretty comforable with that and it seems others are comfortable
#
wilkie
evanpro: I think we take some next steps of starting to break up the functionality in those APIs.
#
tantek
I added more existing APIs to the patterns page, and grouped by Open vs. Proprietary
#
wilkie
evanpro: especially for those who are not as familiar with these APIs to get a feeling of their functionality.
#
tantek
and implemented vs. not known
#
wilkie
evanpro: implementing this strategy is something we can do next week. we have a lot more to do today.

thanks evanpro for helping move forward a sensible process :)

cwebber2: as I wrote to the list, I wrote about having concerns about how there are many groups implementing federation. it would be best to use this group to consolidate some of that.
#
evanpro
Grrr, dropped off the call
#
Shane
I dropped off the IRC, that was odd
#
wilkie
cwebber2: although there is some risk of distraction to the group of bringing it disagreeing opinions, it is still worth the outreach.
#
wilkie
cwebber2: I reached out to Diaspora. one dev has submitted to the WG and is interested in representing Diaspora. doesn't work on federation presently, but is interested in it.

cwebber2, do you track you outreach somewhere?

(Is MMM-O Michal Nordfeldth? He has already posted to the list)
#
wilkie
cwebber2: frendi(c/k)a. a person there thinks it would not be the best for them to work on the WG.
#
Shane
Sorry, I'm going to have to head off. Internet connection here is dreadful
#
tantek
that's sad/ironic about tent.io. see http://indiewebcamp.com/tent.io for a broader list of issues related to tent.
#
wilkie
cwebber2: another person working on friendi(c/k)a expressed some interest but I don't think they applied to the WG.

cwebber2: selfdogfood has been accepted by many and many have that aspect of expertise

wilkie
who is this?
#
tantek
cwebber2, seriously, wonderful outreach effort
#
wilkie
evanpro: we have 4 new applicants including those from GNU Social and Diaspora. it looks like [outreach] has been helpful

Loqi

#
wilkie
evanpro: are there other groups we should be reaching out to?
#
tantek
cwebber2, to be clear, selfdogfood is not just dogfood (run the software themselves), but the *self* aspect is about using it on their primary identity on the web.
#
wilkie
cwebber2: one group I considered is buddycloud. they are using XMPP and maybe that is just too different.
#
wilkie
cwebber2: somebody did mention that they might be interested in interop.
#
wilkie
cwebber2: there may be a low chance, but maybe the ello folks could be pestered considering their anti-facebook views.
#
shepazu
have we reached out to Ello?
#
wilkie
evanpro: I think ello is reasonable to reach out to

shepazu yes, some folks from the indieweb community have reached out.

#

dret, take a look at https://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry and https://microformats.org/wiki/h-card and https://microformats.org/wiki/h-cite for vocabularies that are being used that are roughly compatible with AS

tantek: for those not on IRC, and TPAC we had a lot of good discussion about interop much like what elf-pavlik is talking about.
#
wilkie
tantek: jasnell and I took an action to look at interop/overlap between microformats and AS model.
#
oshepherd
I have been wondering lately about just dropping the "post" verb from AS (instead you just put the object in place)
#
wilkie
tantek: we have a good start on that. we have a document (linked above) that shows you how if you have a consumer for AS how to be a consumer of microformats as well and how to model them. this is a great step.
#
wilkie
tantek: it would be nice to see if there are AS consumers today that would take a look at this document and see if it makes sense to them. we are looking for feedback.

elf-pavlik: I'd be happy to see you, personally, make decisions about how you're going to spend your time on social interop, especially if you'd like to work on some early experiments
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: how about your personal site? :)
#
elf-pavlik
evanpro, i plan to just enable WebMention soone to get some hands on experience
#
tantek
which social publishin formats + protocols are you implementing on your personal site? :)
#
evanpro
elf-pavlik: good idea!
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: great!
#
elf-pavlik
just need to write middleware which sprinkels some microformats on RDFa i publish
#
oshepherd
is mulling over building an ActivityPump "demonstration" server
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: if you need any help with h-entry etc. markup, please feel free to ask in #indiewebcamp IRC on Freenode
#
elf-pavlik
tantek, wilco!
#
oshepherd
But I don't think AS2 is yet in such a state that doing so is feasible..
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: and if you want to more generically discuss RDFa/microformats interop, beyond just personal/s���2l site stuff, definitely drop into #microformats IRC on Freenode
#
tantek
both are reasonably active, though #indiewebcamp more so because it is more focused
#
elf-pavlik
oshepherd, we could try to massage further how your ActivityPump NOTIFY and WebMention compare https://github.com/oshepherd/activitypump/issues/1
#
elf-pavlik
besides existing implementations ;)
#
oshepherd
So tantek, what are your thoughts on dropping the "post" verb from the AS spec? it would bring AS and h-entry closer into alignment, and also remove a pain point with AS1 as a social protocol (you reply to the object, but the recipients are associated with the post activity)
#
elf-pavlik
tantek, i plan to get back on habit to idle on IRC channels, just need to fix my setup!
#
wilkie
oh right, there isn't anything in evanpro's social API list about identity or discovery. that is beyond the scope of what we are looking at right now?
#
oshepherd
wilkie: Those are probably closer aligned with the federation protocol aspect?
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: it's ok, IRC is only a priority if you need help - you might be able to do everything purely by using various wiki pages
#
tantek
and if not - that's a good thing to point out!
#
tantek
oshepherd: we debated the whole "do we even need verbs" at the TPAC f2f
#
tantek
and there was surprisingly little pushback to "just" dropping verbs and nouning everything
#
tantek
wilkie yeah I think identity is an aspect (interface?) of Social API, but not directly in Social API - if that makes sense
#
elf-pavlik
current draft suggests thay verb may go away
#
tantek
wilkie, I'm still reading that github issue thread
#
oshepherd
tantek: So I think there is much merit to Activities (both for stateful things - like follow/unfollow) - but I think removing the "Post" and probably also "Share" activities is valuable
#
oshepherd
("Share" because quite often what one wants to do is "Repost" - i.e. share /with commentary/, and the activity doesn't permit that)
#
tantek
I still don't understand "Share" in the generic sense. In the "synonym for Repost" sense, I prefer repost.
#
tantek
I see "share with commentary" as simply "comment with quotes"
#
tantek
I shouldn't say "simply". It's not a simple thing.
#
elf-pavlik
have anyone read my cc from conversation about interest to implement Share intent in Firefox? http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-socialweb/2014Nov/0105.html
#
elf-pavlik
you can find the original message in the verry bottom, below my ramblings ;)
KevinMarks2 joined the channel
#
oshepherd
I see comment as "minor" - subsiduary to the original post itself, maybe sometimes 'hidden' from your feed (to avoid bombarding you with people's conversations you aren't interested in), while "repost/share" is "major" - same kind of importance to posting new content of your own
#
oshepherd
And I still see value in the standard actor/author+object+target structure for activities in general, FWIW
#
elf-pavlik
tantek, do you have some collective streams in #IndieWeb ? not my personal wall but our collective wall
#
oshepherd
But I think that the unification of "Everything in your feed is an activity" is seductvely attractive and yet in practice wrong
#
elf-pavlik
we could represent this irc chan as stream of activities but non of us owns it as individual
#
wilkie
the verb, to me, has been nice for internationalizing arbitrary activities: http://hotsh.github.io/lotus.i18n.js/demo/
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: re: collective streams in #IndieWeb yes - I believe the IRC logs are a good example of that :)
#
elf-pavlik
tantek, would you have copy of what you post on irc on your personal site?
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: that's been debated in the channel recently
#
elf-pavlik
hmm... hard to believe ;)

#
elf-pavlik
i plan to start with PESOS for irc and mailing lists

#
tantek
oshepherd: do you have documentation of where this is a problem? re: "Everything in your feed is an activity" is seductvely attractive and yet in practice wrong
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: great! ownyourdata :)
#
elf-pavlik
for POSSE i need to ping friends working on http://sockethub.org/
#
tantek
that would be even better

did the minutes get generated or do I have to do that?
#
wilkie
ok I found them
#
tantek
wilkie - looks like it worked except when I scribed it shows as me in IRC
#
wilkie
it is interesting that this irc channel is really only social on Tuesdays
#
tantek
search for "somebody else scribe plz" :)
#
tantek
wilkie - I do check the logs every day to see if anyone is chatting
#
wilkie
I'll fix it in [http] post!
#
tantek
I have this bookmarked: http://socialwg.indiewebcamp.com/irc/social/today which redirects to the current day
#
oshepherd
tantek: So the big one is that, for pump.io the recipients of the post activity that creates your object control the accessibility of that object. If you want to reply to an object, you need to have seen that activity, else your server doesn't know who to address your response to
#
tantek
oshepherd: agreed that ACLs are another challenge, yet I'm not sure how ACLs imply needs for verbs
#
oshepherd
They don't. They're exactly why the post verb needs to die

tantek

I just realized harry's citation of W3Cmemes *image only* left out important context: http://w3cmemes.tumblr.com/post/101463483242/hydra-cg-cut-one-ontology-off-two-grow-in-its
#
tantek
(from reading the minutes)
#
tantek
wilkie ^^^ that's probably a good substitute for what harry linked to
#
harry
Yes, it was a "please let's not repeat web services in RDF" plea but not sure where meme came from.
#
oshepherd
Whether you see every other type of activity as a noun or a verb is another matter
#
tantek
(assuming you're fixing up the minutes in (http) post as you say :) )
#
tantek
oshepherd: that's reasonable.
#
oshepherd
Having all activities look alike is important from the perspective of making sure servers know what to do with them

#
tantek
oshepherd: indeed, a lot of us in the indieweb community have come to a similar conclusion: having posts (h-entry s) all (re-)use common properties is important from the perspective of making sure readers know what to do with them.
#
tantek
this is based on implementation experience of both publishers and readers

curses Yammer for doing weird things (like notifying me of "private messages" which are part of a conversation). Wait, this is just Yammer being Yammer

wilkie: gosh darn that tent thread was long
#
wilkie
tantek: uh yeah. and further reading in issue 6, and some other one
#
tantek
frankly I prefer both the attitude and even partial results so far in this WG
#
wilkie
it's like 'why not ostatus' 'why not activity streams' 'why not webfinger'
#
tantek
I'm really happy that jasnell and I at least were able to produce this as a decent interop starting point: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams/Microformats_Mapping
#
wilkie
this is really useful
#
tantek
thanks wilkie, really appreciate you taking a look
#
oshepherd
Ooh, Microsoft just patched into all current Windows versions support for the TLS 1.2 cipher suites TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (plus non DHE versions of the previous nobody should care about)
#
wilkie
tantek: no problem. the stuff I'm working on is mostly 'ok pull this activity from this place. figure out what it is. ok, now you can call 'to_html' or 'to_json' or w/e and get microformated html partial or AS1/2 or w/e' I'm very interested in abstracting out for interop, so this is immensely useful.

My watch just announced that it is "looking forward to learning more about" me. This is an interesting future we live in

#
wilkie
yeah, it is an interesting future to live in when I'm now afraid of wrist watches.
#
tantek
I keep a wristwatch to track sunrise / sunset times.

#
Zakim
tantek, you typed too many words without commas; I suspect you forgot to start with 'to ...'
#
tantek
Zakim, end
#
Zakim
I don't understand 'end', tantek
#
tantek
Zakim, bye
#
oshepherd
should add the ability to post random stuff from his watch
#
wilkie
add it to the use-case list
#
oshepherd
aaronpk: Yeah, except probably Pump.io and Moto360 :P
#
oshepherd
(well definitely on the latter aspect)
