!tell tantek I try to extract vocabulary requirements from API User Stories, I started including terms from microformats *vocabulary* among proposed ones but many of them doesn't seem to have and URL which I can use as permalink e.g u-photo :( https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialig/Vocabulary_TF/Mapping_API_User_Stories_to_Vocabulary_terms
#
Loqi

#
Tsyesika
rhiaro: seems owncloud are trying to solve a lot of the same problems we are
#
rhiaro
I looked at it like a year ago when it was in early stages
#
rhiaro
It's come a long way
#
rhiaro
there's also cosyCloud, which is similar but possibly less advanced
#
Tsyesika
rhiaro: me and chris as going to go up to him after this talk, maybe you should come down and talk too :)
#
rhiaro
cool, will do :)
#
rhiaro
oh cool, they talk to Cozy
#
rhiaro
Sounds like they should probably come to the wg..
#
Tsyesika
yeah, it's what I was thinking

rhiaro: I've put out the next version of my chat app, would you like to test?
#
rhiaro
melvster: yes! but in an hour or so if that's okay
#
melvster
Tsyesika: some of us are working with owncloud already
#
melvster
in fact they helped me design my app :)
#
rhiaro
melvster: the demo you did with deiu the other day looked great
#
melvster
rhiaro: thanks, but I was a bit embrassed, as it was very much a work in progress and I wasnt expecting it to be demoed, but glad it went OK! :)
#
Tsyesika
melvster: we're in a talk on the federated stuff and it looks like they're doing a bunch of their own federated stuff and it could be useful to get their input in the WG
#
melvster
new version im much more happy with
#
rhiaro
Seemed pretty smooth to me
#
Tsyesika
a lot of the sharing, accepting, rejecting, etc. could be done with AS for example
#
Tsyesika
but it'd be good to have their input in building the federated and social spec with their input
#
melvster
Tsyesika: they have a good system and it's getting better, they are based in boston so frank does a lot of good architectural work, with some good (imho) influences, convergence takes time always but I think the direction is good

rhiaro: nothing urgent, any time you're free, just pop a message in the help room, I check it most of the time, if im not there ill get back to you before long
#
Tsyesika
melvster: how come there wasn't any outreach to them to be invited experts?
#
melvster
now that ive got websockets on android with vibrate it's easier for me to follow
#
melvster
Tsyesika: you're asking the wrong person, im not a member of the WG, just following the standards work, harry did the outreach
#
Tsyesika
oh okay
#
melvster
but there's almost 100 user stories, surely that's enough different views to be getting on with?
#
Tsyesika
but if they're doing the same things i think they ought to be apart of the WG
#
melvster
no one is doing the same thing
#
melvster
even the people that are doing the same thing are not doing the same thing
#
melvster
interop is really really hard
#
melvster
you need one full time person dedicated to it, and most dont have that luxury
#
melvster
because the incentives are not yet there
#
melvster
but I think frank of owncloud is one of the better ones, he hangs out at MIT sometimes
#
melvster
aaronpk: have you thought about expanding links in the chat logs, e.g. to make a .jpg into an image
#
elf-pavlik
cwebber2, Tsyesika: Frank (OwnCloud) should know about few other projects, including ones that deiu, sandro and bblfish work(ed) on... 2 years ago i organized online call on PersonalClouds https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Kq8YSVQBdNXjiMi-eWUoBfkkqkbYAA6-Lrd41sxy8bs
#
melvster
elf-pavlik: frank and deiu are buddies, both in boston
#
melvster
is becoming a kind of hub for decentralized storage
#
melvster
cozy is further away from convergence
#
melvster
but convergance takes time
#
melvster
elf-pavlik: I saw a great explanation of HR14 ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images
#
melvster
is a great analogy
#
melvster
some people think that's a pipe
#
melvster
some think it's an image of a pipe
#
melvster
that's essentially the 'debate'
#
melvster
of course there is a correct answer here ...
#
melvster
it's an image, but those that think it's a pipe, that's absolutely fine
#
elf-pavlik
i remember this from bergi's repo (which you pointed me to) https://github.com/zazukoians/trifid-ld
#
elf-pavlik
issue-14
#
trackbot
is looking up issue-14.
#
trackbot
issue-14 -- as:Link adds a lot of complexity, if we keep it we need to clarify consequences of using it instead of as:Object -- open
#
elf-pavlik
have you looked at this one? + examples in http://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/
#
elf-pavlik
rdfs:domain [
#
elf-pavlik
a owl:Class ;
#
elf-pavlik
owl:unionOf ( as:Object as:Link)
#
melvster
its possible to like an image
#
melvster
or like a video
#
elf-pavlik
sure, but do you like particular combination of encoding and size?
SimonTennant joined the channel
#
melvster
yes well you need someone to make and maintain a flikr bridge, if you want that
#
elf-pavlik
i don't care about flikr
#
melvster
since they dont already use linked data
#
melvster
you have to guess
#
elf-pavlik
but http://mediagoblin.com/ needs to implement stuff like that
#
melvster
yeah but that doesnt use standards either afaik
#
melvster
you cant just magic it up out of nowhere
#
elf-pavlik
cwebber2 and Tsyesika bot participate in this group as you may have noticed ...
#
melvster
starting point is user profiles
#
melvster
it's pointless to talk about liking something if you dont know WHO is liking something
#
melvster
we need to do things in a specific order
#
elf-pavlik
looks like we will use HTTP URIs for identity
#
melvster
not good enough
#
melvster
they need to be interoperable HTTP URIs
#
elf-pavlik
and most likely no one will mess with /#me as you may find in minutes from F2F
#
melvster
disagree
#
melvster
that's just your opinion
#
melvster
one of the reasons i didnt join this group is your strong arm tactics on this issue ...
#
melvster
see you later

#
melvster
oh it's back online, great
timbl joined the channel
#
melvster
im working on presence right now
#
melvster
opo is a bit complex for my liking
#
melvster
but i think ill use it
#
melvster
btw friending works now
#
melvster
people were asking how to add friends in LDP
#
melvster
so you dont have to do it by hand
#
melvster
tho technically it's not quite a friend
#
melvster
it's a knows relationship
#
melvster
alice knows bob
#
melvster
bob knows allice
#
melvster
they may not actually be friends
#
melvster
but systems can assume that until they learn otherwise
#
melvster
that's what im going to do anyway
#
elf-pavlik
in practice i can issue something like FriendshipCredential for everyone who I 'accept' as friend, besides linking back from my friends list
