RESOLVED: approved Sep 22 minutes
#
aaronpk
TOPIC: upcoming face to face
#
aaronpk
tantek: we have converged on Dec 1-2 in SF based on the doodle poll
#
aaronpk
... hosted by mozilla, and if for some reason that falls through, IBM has offered to be a backup
#
aaronpk
... expect details on that soon, but you can start planning travel
#
aaronpk
... mozilla locatino is in san francisco proper
#
Arnaud
not really! if you'd been on the chairs you would know I guess
#
Arnaud
s/chairs/chairs call/
#
aaronpk
... you can fly in to either the oakland or SFO you can get there by transit
#
KevinMarks
SJC also doable by transit
#
aaronpk
sandro: is there a particular hotel you would recommend?
#
aaronpk
tantek: SF has this odd hotel market, hotels are typically very expensive, so I don't tend to recommend them
#
aaronpk
... i can give you the location of the venue
#
aaronpk
... so many of the hotels around town are within minutes via transit, so it's mostly personal preference
#
aaronpk
... there are a lot of folks who are price sensitive, so I would strongly encourage looking at getting an airbnb
#
aaronpk
... which is also a good option to go in on and share
#
hhalpin
There' s some hotels in SF that W3C usually uses: http://www.w3.org/2013/socialweb/organization.html
#
hhalpin
but haven't looked into their distance from this particular venue
#
aaronpk
... if there are specific hotels you have questions about I am happy to take those offline
#
aaronpk
... but I would generally recommend airbnb near transit
#
aaronpk
... any other questions abotu the f2f
#
aaronpk
... is there anyone here who can defintiely make it or definitely not?

#
aaronpk
tantek: sometimes things change
#
aaronpk
sandro: at this point i woudl think the doodle poll is accurate
#
aaronpk
tantek: okay i think that's reasonable

aaronpk

#
aaronpk
... looking forward to seeing everyone there
#
aaronpk
TOPIC: ActivityStreams 2.0
#
aaronpk
tantek: in particular, two things there, publication status...
#
aaronpk
jasnell: i have the updated draft ready to go, waiting on some things on the w3c side
#
aaronpk
... the pubchecker doesn't support the new publication license, so it errors when I attempt to publish
#
aaronpk
tantek: is this is the ___ pubchecker?
#
aaronpk
.. were you able to file a github issue against it?

#
aaronpk
tantek: sandro think you can help james out?
#
aaronpk
sandro: pretty sure it's being taken care of, the patch is being done and now it's just the copyright
#
aaronpk
Arnaud: there are two parts to this problem, the first one was fixed with respec getting updated for the new license, tbut the rules checker is not yet done
jaywink joined the channel
#
aaronpk
jasnell: as soon as that's done i can get it published
#
aaronpk
tantek: did the folks applying the patch have an ETA for when the updated pubrules checker would be live?
jasnell_ joined the channel
#
aaronpk
tantek: I wanted to offer my thanks for being the w3c canary in the new license coal mine and finding the obstacles in the process
#
aaronpk
... every other group adopting this licesnse will benefit from the work being done
#
aaronpk
TOPIC: ActivityStreams issues
#
aaronpk

#
aaronpk
eprodrom: the issue I want to make sure we bring attention to is #8, the test suite
#
aaronpk
... this iss osmething we need to get done to go to CR and it's languishing
#
aaronpk
... we need to put more interest in it as a group
#
aaronpk
... we had for a while a developer from IBM, I don't think he's still pushing this forward
#
aaronpk
... so my question is what can we do to push forward the test suite
#
aaronpk
... is the code we have a good basis for moving forward and if not how do we get there
#
Arnaud
sandro, I will send a follow up to the email thread I started with specprod
#
aaronpk
... and in particular who would like to work on the test quite
#
aaronpk
s/quite/suite
#
aaronpk
tantek: i agree the test suite is one of the essential items for us to make progress
#
hhalpin
q+
#
Zakim
sees hhalpin on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
... it also helps to signal that a working draft is being implemented
#
aaronpk
... because that typically means there are implementers coding against those tests
#
aaronpk
... it helps demonstrate that we've been doing our homeworok properly
#
aaronpk
... i want to repeat evan's call for volunteers, we definitely need folks to contribute to the test suite
#
eprodrom
jasnell_: did we lose you?
#
aaronpk
... prefereably people who are actually implementing
#
jasnell_
I'm still here
#
Zakim
sees hhalpin on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
... but of course anyone, even if you are publishing or consuming can contribute tests
#
tantek
ack hhalpin
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
hhalpin: quick question, i think we could try to devote some thoughtworks resources to it
#
aaronpk
... they have a contract to contribute to AS2.0, did we approve their IE access?
#
eprodrom
q+
#
Zakim
sees eprodrom on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
tantek: just to make it clear, what's the realtionship between W3C and thoughtworks?
#
aaronpk
hhalpin: thoughtworks is on a contract not from w3c with three city govs, finland spain and iceland, they are buidling some software using AS2.0 to share public data
#
aaronpk
... finland is map data, spain is policy data
#
aaronpk
... they're asking me when their IE status is approved
#
aaronpk
tantek: so that contract is not with the w3c but they are being paid by whoever they are contracted with
#
aaronpk
hhalpin: yes the european commission
#
aaronpk
tantek: is the european commission a member of the w3c
#
aaronpk
hhalpin: no
#
aaronpk
eprodrom: we didn't have a lot of information on thoughtworks so we wanted more information before we approve their application
#
aaronpk
tantek: so evan you've already taken an action to
#
aaronpk
eprodrom: yes, hopefully we'll have that discussion next week
#
aaronpk
tantek: hopefully we'll have a thumbsup/down status on their participation before the call next week
bblfish joined the channel
#
aaronpk
... assuming they are accepted would be great to have them on the call next week
#
aaronpk
... any other specific AS issues to discuss?
#
aaronpk
TOPIC: Social API
#
aaronpk
tantek: amy is not here, aaron is minuting
#
aaronpk
... chris or jessica, want to provide a status update on the collaborative work?
#
tsyesika
I've been busy this week so I'm probably not the best person to ask
#
aaronpk
cwebber2: i haven't been active on it, haven't spoken to amy or aaron this week
#
aaronpk
tantek: aaron want to speak?
#
aaronpk
aaronpk: I've been working on my implemenation this week, specifically abotu collections and multiple feeds, so nothing to share just yet but hopfully soon

#

#
aaronpk
... anyone have specific issues they have new information to report?
#
aaronpk
tantek: i have an update on issue 4
#
tantek
issue 4
#
trackbot
doesn't understand that ISSUE command.
#

#
trackbot
action-35 -- Tantek Çelik to Come up with a simple proposal for implicit typing based on property names -- due 2015-02-10 -- OPEN
#
aaronpk
tantek: i've completed that one with a proposal that i've written up
#
aaronpk
... based on existing work in the indiewebcamp community, i'm bringing it to the WG for consideration
#
aaronpk
... i've written it up on the IWC wiki but can easily copy it to the w3c wiki or github to take the next steps
#
aaronpk
... if this is a proposal that this group is willing to take for consideration to publish as a working draft
#
aaronpk
... i believe with this one i've completed action 35, i'll add that to the action
#
hhalpin
I'd have to read it first!
#
eprodrom
q+
#
Zakim
sees eprodrom on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
... the specific proposal is for the WG to accept it as an editor's draft
#
aaronpk
... and if so, then i'll go ahead and do the proper copy-paste to w3c space
#
aaronpk
... we should give the group like a week to review it to see if it's reasonable to consider
#
aaronpk
... is that enough time or does anyone want more time to review?
#
aaronpk
sandro: i'm confused abotu the discussion process here
#
aaronpk
... where is the discussion going to take place
#
aaronpk
tantek: good quetsion.
#
aaronpk
... i would prefer the discussion to be in #social wg irc channel
#
aaronpk
... of course if people want to discuss it anywhere they want like the mailing list that's fine too
#
melvster
generally follows the mailing list
#
aaronpk
sandro: if people want to talk to you about it, they have to find you on irc?
#
aaronpk
tantek: what i will do which is customary with w3c working drafts is put my email address on there
#
eprodrom
q?
#
Zakim
sees eprodrom on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
... since typical drafts are discussed on the mailing list i don't see how we would differ for that, that's the convention we'd have to go with
#
Zakim
sees eprodrom on the speaker queue
#
tantek
ack eprodrom
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
eprodrom: tantek, i apologize here, but i don't know if there's a typical discussion mechanism on the indiewebcamp wiki
#
aaronpk
... but i know that talk pages are kind of frowned upon, is there a way we could talk on the wiki?
#
aaronpk
tantek: sure! i'm happy to add a commentary/feedback section
#
aaronpk
eprodrom: that might be a good place to centralize the converation
#
aaronpk
tantek: i've added a feedback section
#
eprodrom
+1
#
aaronpk
... that can certainly suffice for now, but if the WG adopts it as an editor's draft then the right thing to do is use the w3c discussion forums including our IRC channel and mailing list
#
aaronpk
.. we'll use the usual w3c technique to put the topic tag between brackets so the email threads are clear
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
... that's all i had for open issues/actions
#
eprodrom
q+
#
Zakim
sees eprodrom on the speaker queue
#
eprodrom
+1 sounds good here
#
aaronpk
... i'll mark 35 as "p[ending review" and we can discuss next week
#
aaronpk
Arnaud: yeah that's fine
#
tantek
updates action-35 to "pending review"

#
aaronpk
tantek: the next telcon is tuesday oct 6
#
aaronpk
eprodrom: one thing i wanted to quickly point out is in previous converstaions we've talked about having some participation by non-members, inviting outside participation
#
aaronpk
... it may be good to think about what we want to do and so we can put out invitations to the public or specific developers
#
aaronpk
tantek: i agree. i think the participation that we wanted to focus on previously is around implementers in particular
#
aaronpk
... specifically, implementers of social websites, popular existing social web services
#
aaronpk
... i have a bunch of contacts at twitter if they'd want to swing by for a bit, even informally
#
aaronpk
... harry has a list of folks who came to the workshop in 2013
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
... so harry it would be helpful if you could ping your contacts that we have a date for the next meeting
#
aaronpk
hhalpin: the list i have is interesting, there are some possible implementers, it's mostly companies that are in the space that have their own social projects
#
aaronpk
... do we want to have a "get up to speed" session?
#
aaronpk
... some of these people all came to the first workshop but may not have been here, haven't joined w3c since the fee was too high
#
aaronpk
.. i don't know how to structure the invitaion
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
sandro
I'd suggest a day-before stakeholders meeting, if we can get enough people
#
aaronpk
... would folks prefer observers? just come one day? have a get up to speed session?
#
aaronpk
... my proposal would be to have a get up to speed session the day before or early the first day, then invite them as observers but don't let them take over the meeting
#
sandro
(and a hackathon after the meeting!)
#
aaronpk
tantek: i'm adding an observers section to the wiki so we can continue to discuss options there
#
aaronpk
... go ahead and edit the wiki on the observers section and add your proposal and we can discuss after the call
#
aaronpk
... as much as we can focus on implementers that's one of our concerns right now, to get enough implementers to look at the specs and say can I build for this, how soon, that kind o things
#
aaronpk
hhalpin: agreed 100%, maybe we can get people who previously checked out to look at it again
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
aaronpk
tantek: i think that's it for the agenda, any additional topics?
#
aaronpk
tantek: sandro also just suggested a hackathon after the meeting, that's a good idea
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
KevinMarks
that fits the indiewebcamp model
#
aaronpk
... not hearing any additional topics i'm going to close the call and give you 15 minute sback!

thanks aaronpk !
#
tantek
huh - just realizing that http://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/ does not reference email in the header either - just Github issues
#
tantek
I wonder if Github issues for discussion is sufficient then
#
tantek
would prefer github issues instead of email list
#
aaronpk
I think it's also fine when a github repo has no content and is only used for the issue tracker
#
ben_thatmustbeme
you can always just put a simple text doc if it needs content
#
aaronpk
like a readme.md stub
#
aaronpk
i'm juyst saying if you don't want the github repo to be the actual location of the spec content
#
tantek
good point
#
tantek
I wonder if it is possible to use W3C's new publication system (Echidna) to publish from the W3C wiki
#
tantek
I've updated https://indiewebcamp.com/post-type-discovery with an explicit "Participate" section in the header
#
tantek
If it's accepted into the working group as an Editor's draft, my plan is to keep a copy on the W3C wiki, and use our W3C Social Web github for Issues, as well as this channel (#social) for discussion - both of which, officially *instead of* email. Unofficial discussion are of course encouraged anywhere people want!
