tantek: elf-pavlik left you a message 1 day, 6 hours ago: slvrbckt has some basic POSSE for IRC in http://sockethub.org/ he may come to IndieWebCamp in Düsseldorf https://twitter.com/slvrbckt/status/573772326443073536 ping aaronpk http://socialwg.indiewebcamp.com/irc/social/2015-03-14/line/1426324645981

tantek
!tell elf-pavlik re: slvrbckt - Neat! Feel free to invite him to Freenode # indiewebcamp too for pre-IndieWebCampDüsseldorf discussions.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek
!tell elf-pavlik thanks for all the additions to the agenda for the f2f. I'm not sure we'll get to all of them at the times you put them - I expect that we'll heavily reprioritize the agenda in-person to focus on on the topics that people attending in-person want to discuss.

hello harry
#
harry
hi tantek - what's up?
#
harry
Are you in Boston yet?
#
tantek
not yet - will be Monday night
#
harry
great - anything else?
#
harry
I see it appears w3.org went down at some point
#
harry
which is rare
#
tantek
I'm looking at all the agenda edits
#
harry
Yes, I'll go over them too
#
harry
[looking]
#
tantek
I've never seen a working group meeting agenda edited so much ahead of time by someone not attending the meeting in person
#
tantek
so I'm adding some (hopefully reasonable) guidance
#
harry
elf just has tons of spare time
#
tantek
apparently!
#
harry
as long as his edits make sense, then I'm for them
#
harry
Yes, he's unemployed (by choice), as are bblfish and a few others
#
harry
I think some of the dynamic in the WG is that some people with particular ideas have tons of spare time and others don't.
#
harry
I hope the agenda hasn't gone off into a discussion of the @profile element :)
#
tantek
harry, I thought bblfish was from Apache
#
tantek
per his affiliation in the group membership list
#
harry
No, he is appointed by Apache - Apache has no or very few employees
#
tantek
what is he appointed by Apache for?
#
tantek
now I'm confused
#
harry
that is legal by W3C rules as long as Apache explicitly endorses him and there's no conflict of interest.
#
harry
I htink he is working on the Apache Marmotta linked data platform
#
harry
not quite sure, just ask him.
#
tantek
it is like a special invited expert under the responsibility of a w3c member?
#
tantek
s/it is/is it
#
harry
It's a weird edge case but basically, yes
#
harry
Apache is the only group I know to use it.
#
tantek
ok good to know
#
harry
I think it exists mainly for groups that have no employees per se
#
harry
but nonetheless pay membership.
#
tantek
harry - I just edited the agenda with more instructions, could you take a look? https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2015-03-17#Agenda
#
harry
ah, need to refresh
#
harry
I'll do some minor clean up
#
harry
Its OK, I guess although I am worried that the way its structured now we're likely to rat hole on something marginal or irrelevant
#
harry
Anyways, it will require strong chairing
#
elf-pavlik
hi tantek harry :)
#
harry
anyways, agenda looks fine although we need to make sure we don't rat-hole - which means closing issues.
#
harry
and not delaying them into indefinite future
#
elf-pavlik
nice addtions to the wiki tantek++, i tried to sign everything and considered it to 'just proposed by me'
#
harry
That's fine elf! I think we can close many of these issues pretty quick.
#
elf-pavlik
i hope so!
#
elf-pavlik
i see Frederick Hirsch also will join (Annotations WG)
#
elf-pavlik
harry, can we arrange decent speakers and 2nd projector for (e)face 2 (e)face ? https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2015-03-17#Remote_Participation
#
harry
we have the standard W3C polycon that we use at TPAC
#
harry
we don't have anything else unless someone buys us something
#
elf-pavlik
jasnell also joins remotely
#
harry
It has historically worked well
#
elf-pavlik
tantek, how to do it in microformats? http://schema.org/seeks
#
harry
So it should be better than say, in China
#
elf-pavlik

#
elf-pavlik
"gr": "http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#"
#
tantek
catches up on edits
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: for general microformats questions, maybe better to discuss in #microformats instead of this channel? not sure other folks here would be that interested
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: thank you for signing your agenda item additions and clarifying "proposed" - appreciated - that makes a lot more sense now
#
elf-pavlik
we can #selfdogfood and add to event <https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2015-03-17> gr:seeks [ rdfs:label "Videoconf equipment" ] .
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: perhaps we can start with just human readable requests :)
#

#
Loqi
tantek has 164 karma
#
tantek
harry, I'm going to split the specific agenda item sections in the spec by chair additions vs. proposed, and I think for each item that is proposed, we should have an in-person champion to discuss it
#
tantek
to avoid the ratholing problem you mention
#
tantek
I think it is appropriate for a f2f to prioritize the topics that the people who actually took the time/expense to travel to the f2f want to discuss first, and then everything else can be considered time pending.
#
harry
Yes, I agree, but we should try to address all the topics.
#
harry
However, I think will have to watch time
#
tantek
hence time permitting
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: I'm going to keep all your items under each general topic but I'm going to put them in a "proposed" section to make it clear that they have been proposed.
#
harry
I don't think the in-person champion is needed.
#
harry
However, some of them are open issues.
#
harry
So we should try to close them
#
tantek
harry: only if they are blocking progress on the spec(s)
#
harry
What we need to do is to make sure these issues are exactly in scope, have running code, and have real users
#
tantek
otherwise they can be postponed to the "TBD" time
#
harry
If they are 'theoretical' issues, I'm pro just closing them rather than making them TBD
#
tantek
agreed
#
harry
We can re-open if code/users/demand appears
#
tantek
right
#
tantek
however I want to postpone such meta-discussion to the TBD time
#
tantek
for issues that don't have an in-person champion
#
tantek
so that we don't get lost in the weeds during concrete spec discussions
#
harry
OK, but I think the 'in-person' thing is a bit much. However, we can try to cluser elf's isues
#
tantek
if no one in person thinks an issue is worth prioritizing for the spec discussion time, by default it gets postponed to TBD time - that's what I'm proposing.
#
harry
since they are mostly versions of 'I want to use neat RDF feature X'
#
tantek
perhaps - I don't want to single anyone out
#
harry
into a single long discussion with elf over the long-distance.
#
tantek
yes that may make sense for timezone reasons
#
harry
Since he's in Germany, it seems that having his issues in the first session make sense
#
tantek
harry: the in-person thing is about respecting the folks that made the time/effort/investment to be there, and thus incentivizing in-person participation in f2f meetings
#
harry
elf-pavlik, is that OK?
#
harry
Yes, but elf has invested quite a lot of time and has made valuable contributions, so I think we should really make sure he gets a session to go over his issues re AS 2.0 in the morning
#
harry
But yes, for the rest of the meeting lets try to concentrate on things with 'in person' champion
#
tantek
I suppose we could timebox a session just for elf's issues on AS2?
#
tantek
I think the AS2 issues will be difficult to discuss also because James Snell won't be there in person either
#
tantek
(the editor)
#
tantek
having that cross-triple-site discussion will be cumbersome at best
#
elf-pavlik
tantek, makes sense in many ways!
#
harry
Yep, that would let elf intro the issues as well.
#
elf-pavlik
i just proposed it as IMO reasonable clustering of stuff we have open in a tracker
#
elf-pavlik
trackbot, status

trackbot

#
tantek
elf-pavlik: yes - it is good to have items explicitly in a list like that.
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: sounds like an organizer question
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: are you planning to participate remotely in http://indiewebcamp.com/2015/Cambridge/Guest_List#Remote_Participants ?
#
tantek
please RSVP there first, and then add any remote participation questions for the organizers

#
tantek
elf-pavlik: will you have any of your itches ready to demo for the f2f? https://indiewebcamp.com/User:Wwelves.org_perpetual-tripper#Itches
#
harry
I think Sandro will have a demo there!
#
tantek
harry, I hope so - Sandro has demonstrated things at past IndieWebCamps!
#
elf-pavlik
tantek, good point! i just moved to new VM in last days... yesterday started adding my public keys on https://wwelves.org/perpetual-tripper/
#
tantek
perhaps update your Itches list with what you want to do next?
#
tantek
or if you have a specific list of things you're working on, add them to a == Working On == section
#
elf-pavlik
i work on the very first one "add detailed logs of my usage of public transport, I take public transport without buying tickets and would like that everyone can fully analyse my consumption habits in this field"
#
tantek
great!
#
elf-pavlik
AS2.0 sounds like a perfect fit! similar to what aaronpk does on http://aaronparecki.com/metrics
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: I'm not so sure - AS2 in its current state sometimes seem too big to fit anywhere ;)
#
elf-pavlik
it enables extensibility with vocabularies like mentioned in https://github.com/OpenTransport/vocabulary/issues/16
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: perhaps consider starting with just *human readable* detailed logs of usage of public transport ? rather than jumping to vocabulary?
#
elf-pavlik
i need touch inteface on mobile device for it to don't create burden
#
tantek
capture that in the itch description! that's a good observation!
#
elf-pavlik
trying to type names of stations in french, german, italian and many other languages gives me hard time...
#
elf-pavlik
also line number and direction of the vehicle make no fun to re type
#
tantek
indeed - that makes sense - those are all excellent observations to capture as part of the problem description in your Itches list!

tantek, thinking of XMPP made me think about Micropub. how do you see it fit Richardson Maturity Model? http://martinfowler.com/articles/richardsonMaturityModel.html
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: XMPP was proposed as a Federated Social Web option back in 2010 at the FSWS2010 but didn't go anywhere.
#
tantek
elf - never heard of "Richardson Maturity Model". appears to be clinging to strict REST as an assumption whereas we've found strict REST to be a non-starter due to failing to handle the real world static site use-case.
#
elf-pavlik
tantek, interesting point with static sites... also CDN
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: yes, strict REST is basically either dead or pure marketing due to growing use of static sites - and yes, CDN
#
tantek
so it's pretty dated and ignorable now
#
elf-pavlik
indieweb static website use rel="micropub" ?
#
tantek
also that "Figure 1: Steps toward REST" shows bad plumbing-centric design methodology, whereas we now know that to actually produce useful tools, minimal formats/protocols, we must start from user-centric design, use-cases, user-stories, and design downward to protocols/formats.
#
aaronpk
right, which allows a different system to handle API requests that can generate the static files
#
tantek
which turns out to be a surprisingly useful pattern
#
tantek
much more composable
#
elf-pavlik
rel="micropub" reminds me in a way http://schema.org/target
#
tantek
elf-pavlik: does Leonard Richardson have his own website which demonstrates his model about REST? or is he just a talker/writer on other people's silos?
#
tantek
a quick web search showed no obvious site for "Leonard Richardson"
#
tantek
!tell harry I've updated the agenda with explicit items to discuss proposed items, chair/staff topics, and clustered all other items as proposed to make their status mor7B��ear. Please review: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2015-03-17
