PROPOSAL: approve minutes of 12 Apr 2016
#
eprodrom
RESOLVED: approve minutes of 12 Apr 2016
#
bengo
eprodrom: Great. That's all for administrative items, right?
#
bengo
eprodrom: May be important to note we're 6 weeks away from Portland F2F. Probably time to make travel plans
#
bengo
s/6/8
#
bengo
eprodrom: next up - Document Status
#
bengo
eprodrom: Tried to resolve all issues [for AS2] Working Draft but some issues were too complex to resolve
#
bengo
eprodrom: There is a new Editor's Draft that covers quite a few issues, but not all
#
bengo
eprodrom: I'll dig through remaining issues 1 by 1
#
bengo
eprodrom: #297 - Still ahven't resolved, whether we'll drop questions or add a 'Cosed' tag. Need tow ork through with jasnell
#
bengo
eprodrom: 296 - Unfortunately, only 50/170 examples have 'name', even thugh it's SHOULD.
#
annbass
s/Cosed' tag. Need tow ork/'closed' tag. Need to work/
#
bengo
eprodrom: One way to resolve is have spec be more specific about which object types SHOULD have name. Alternatively, add .name to all examples. Discussing with jasnell
#
annbass
s/ahven't/haven't/
#
bengo
eprodrom: #292 - Think we have resolution on this one. Just haven't added it yet.
#
bengo
eprodrom: 289 - Relationship object. I have reviewed this, and there are some use cases for social networking that we would not be able to represent without this object. So I think we need to remove it in a way that accomodates those use cases, or keep it for now.
#
bengo
eprodrom: 249 - There are some activity types with properties that are optional that are not explained in the examples. The prob is there are half a dozen and I need to get them updated in all representations, not just JSON, RDFa and the rest too.
#
bengo
eprodrom: But there has been good progress this week on exit criteria, conformance, etc. Just want to make sure we do the right thing on these last issues
#
bengo
eprodrom: So do we go to WD as it stands? Or take another week to resolve the remaining issues
#
eprodrom
q?
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
cwebber2
I'm ok with going to WD but have no strong opinions
#
tantek
I'd say better to publish a WD sooner
#
sandro
(neutral)
#
tantek
I like the progress that's been made and think the spec benefits from that
#
tantek
present+
#
bengo
eprodrom: For my purposes, I'd prefer taking another week to finalize issues before WD
#
eprodrom
q?
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
tantek
no objections
#
annbass
sounds fine
#
bengo
eprodrom: How to handle all the types of examples in AS2 spec. It is burdensome to keep them all up to date.
#
tantek
which languages?
#
tantek
JSON vs JSONLD?
#
bengo
eprodrom: Wondering if there is a way to edit just JSON and have it render to the other formats
#
tantek
can we ask for volunteers for help with the others?
#
bengo
eprodrom: microdata, RDFa, turtle are onerous
#
bengo
eprodrom: Gonna hold off on worrying for now. If anyone can take on editing those dialects, that would be big help.
#
annbass
did jasnell do all those in the beginning?
#
annbass
(not that I'm sugg he be the updater)
#
tantek
ben_thatmustbeme++ for help with updating the microformats versions of the examples
#
Loqi
ben_thatmustbeme has 140 karma
#
bengo
annbass: I just thought, if he were the one who created it, he may have a technique for all the transforms
#
eprodrom
AS2 questions?
#
bengo
eprodrom: Next up. Webmention
#
bengo
eprodrom: but first. Any updates on documents other than that?
#
eprodrom
Other document status updates?
#
KevinMarks
doing it though code transforms is a good idea, as it helps clarify generality

cwebber2: Hello. We've been working through issues on ActivityPub
#
aaronpk
q+ for brief micropub update
#
Zakim
sees annbass, aaronpk on the speaker queue
#
bengo
cwebber2: We've decided to allow submitting objects not-wrapped in Activity, and processor would treat as Create
#
bengo
cwebber2: One area of debate: putting audience targeting on that object (not activity). Jessica thought it would be weird to have audience target on object only in client-to-server.
#
tantek
looks
#
eprodrom
q+
#
Zakim
sees annbass, aaronpk, eprodrom on the speaker queue
#
bengo
cwebber2: Instead we could put no audience targeting on the object, and server would assume a default (e.g. public + followers)
#
eprodrom
ack eprodrom
#
Zakim
sees annbass, aaronpk on the speaker queue
#
bengo
eprodrom: A huge part of AS2 is having that access control. All of the object types in AS2 support audience targeting. So it seems straightforward to allow it. Dropping them seems like step backwards to me
#
bengo
cwebber2: Got it. That was slightly my preference too but wanted group feedback.
#
tantek
q+ to ask about audience targetting being a distinguishing feature
#
Zakim

Zakim

#
cwebber2
to respond
#
bengo
tantek: We had discussion in the past whether we should distinguish for developers when to use each spec. Access control is a key feature for both AS2 and ActivityPub. Maybe we can call that out explicitly.
#
eprodrom
rhiaro: are you on the call?
#
bengo
eprodrom: rhiaro has that come up before?
#
eprodrom
ack cwebber
#
Zakim
sees annbass, aaronpk on the speaker queue
#
bengo
cwebber2: Audience Targeting is a key feature of ActivityPub, but with AS2 it's supported feature, not implied/core. You can think about using activitystreams in just a published feed like Atom (without targeting).
#
bengo
eprodrom: This is a good issue to bring up and write about in "Social Protocols"

jasnell_ joined the channel
#
bengo
annbass: I have on paper a bunch of edits (logic/English correctness). I think they would be best for me to send via snailmail to jasnell but couldn't get address. eprodrom can I send to you?
#
bengo
eprodrom: yes
#
eprodrom
ack aaronpk
#
Zakim
aaronpk, you wanted to discuss brief micropub update
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
cwebber2
I think so too
#
bengo
aaronpk: Micropub status
#
bengo
aaronpk: There have been a few changes since latest WD on March 1. Couple of simplifications of syntax. Ultimately minor.
#
annbass
s/bunch of edits /bunch of edits for Activity Streams 2.0 WD dated 15 Dec 2015 /
#
bengo
aaronpk: Also been working on parallel update that is unpublished. It takes into account f2f discussion on converting JSON syntax to ActivityPub style. In the meantime, someone came along and implemented the ED in node.js Supports Create Update Delete.
#
bengo
aaronpk: So I tried to get feedback on spec, and he said he prefers existing syntax to new one. And there were some benefits of old one that couldn't be accomodated in new syntax.
#
bengo
aaronpk: That leaves us still looking for more implementations and more feedback.
#
tantek
q+ to ask how many implementations of the ED again?
#
Zakim
sees tantek on the speaker queue
#
bengo
eprodrom: Can other group members help?
#
bengo
aaronpk: Take a look at the alternate version.
ben_thatmustbeme joined the channel
#
bengo
sandro: Should we link from current ED to alternative and ask for feedback?
#
bengo
aaronpk: idk
#
tantek
s/idk/I don't know
#
bengo
aaronpk: The bulk of the Content changes in this alternative version. Most obvious in 'Update' section
#
bengo
aaronpk: Something else that came from feedback. I was leaning toward everything except create requiring JSON format. But the implementor said it wasn't too hard to also support formencoded, since the key/value structure is so similar
#
Zakim
sees tantek on the speaker queue
#
bengo
eprodrom: What would next steps be?
#
bengo
aaronpk: I'm not sure. Easiest thing for me is make no changes.
#
bengo
eprodrom: Open an issue on GitHub to invite discussion? I don't want you to get stuck on this without a clear transition. If you're willing to make a decision, group will respect that.
#
KevinMarks
do other existing implementations support both formencoded and json, or just formencoded?
#
KevinMarks
document support?
#
bengo
aaronpk: There's an existing issue for it
#
bengo
eprodrom: Let's give it a week for participants to look it over
#
bengo
aaronpk: works for me. After call, I'll update the issue to document this

Zakim
tantek, you wanted to ask how many implementations of the ED again?
#
Zakim

#
bengo
tantek: Is this the second implementation of micropub ED? or WD?
#
bengo
aaronpk: There are several implementations of creating posts linked from spec. In many languages. For updating/deleting, there are now two. This was second, and it was based on Mar 1 WD.
#
bengo
tantek: Was the first implementation your own server?
#
bengo
aaronpk: Yes
#
bengo
tantek: So this is first external feedback. Can we see if the two versions interoperate.
#
bengo
aaronpk: I want to do a validator for micropub, but it's on TODO list for now. Could test interop be using against each other. I'll add that to my list. Using this new implementation to edit posts on my site and in theory they should interoperate

bengo
aaronpk: Meeting is in a couple months. ESRI was going to host event but doesn't make sense anymore
deiu joined the channel
#
sandro
!! aaronpk leaving ESRI
#
bengo
aaronpk: I found a local company that can host. Close to old location so shouldn't require hotel changes
#
bengo
aaronpk: They can provide coffee, snacks, meeting room. However, they don't have room for catered lunch. So I was planning on lunch reservations and nearby restaurants
#
bengo
aaronpk: I would appreciate if someone could help sponsor the lunches.
#
Arnaud
let everyone pay their own lunch
#
Arnaud
we did that in Paris
#
annbass
no need for you to pay, aaronpk
#
bengo
aaronpk: If that's the best option, I'll make sure I can find a place that can split check. Sound ok?
#
cwebber2
sounds good
#
bengo
tantek: Is this close to food trucks? Good option for separate paying.
#
bengo
aaronpk: Yeah there are many food carts within five blocks
#
bengo
aaronpk: Only downside is fragmented lunch discussion time, but we could bring food back to F2F.
#
bengo
+1 to outside
#
annbass
I agree with Tantek.... get food, bring it back to same place ..
#
sandro
aaronpk, can you update https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-06-07 with the new location....?
#
aaronpk
sandro, will do. didn't want to do it before the call for obvious reasons ;)
#
eprodrom
Thumbs up for getting out
#
tantek
+1 to food carts both days
#
bengo
aaronpk: Should we do food carts bothd ays and no reservation?
#
bengo
IMO yes
#
cwebber2
food carts!
#
tantek
and be outside both days
#
annbass
sounds great .. pending weather
#
bengo
decentralized food choices
#
annbass
(likely will be fine weather)
#
bengo
aaronpk: I'll update the wiki page
#
bengo
tantek: What about inviting local developers? Does new location make this more possible?
#
bengo
aaronpk: There isn't enough room to have more people. We'd have to hang out at the parks.
#
bengo
aaronpk: could be challenging. Lunch downtown is popular.
#
bengo
tantek: Do you think it would appear to local developers?
#
tantek
s/appear/appeal
#
bengo
aaronpk: I'm not sure many would take us up on it. So I'm happy to not bother with the offer.
#
tantek
up to you aaronpk - trust your judgment
#
bengo
eprodrom: We could do happy hour or dinner out with devs.
#
tantek
+1 eprodrom
#
bengo
aaronpk: That would be easier
#
tantek
maybe after the first day?
#
eprodrom
social happy hour
#
aaronpk
+1 to happy hour

bengo
eprodrom: Let's talk webmention
#
bengo
aaronpk: I've had good feedback from webmention.rocks. 21 tests for endpoint discovery.
#
bengo
aaronpk: 1 test for update portion of webmention spec.
#
bengo
aaronpk: Results have been promising. Most people passed endpoint discovery test, there are 2 or 3 that are tricky because of Link tag/header edge cases.
#
bengo
aaronpk: Out of all 21, 17 different people were able to successfully reply to at least one. Of those, almost all use different implementations. ~13 distinct implementations.
#
tantek
between 13 and 15?!? (!!!) wow
#
eprodrom
Great news on that
#
bengo
aaronpk: For update test, it was only released Saturday. Looks like ~4 implementations passed though.
#
bengo
aaronpk: I'm going to work more on update and counting results.
#
tantek
what about delete tests?
#
bengo
eprodrom: Next steps?
#
bengo
aaronpk: Write more tests to cover rest of spec. More formally gather results and report on them.
#
eprodrom
q?
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
bengo
aaronpk: Still have some issues
#
bengo
aaronpk: One issue, waiting on IANA rel registry updates
#
tantek
sandro, do we have an issue category for "Waiting on external org?" :P ;)
#
bengo
aaronpk: I resolved many issues. Though some are 'waiting for commenter' since original commenter/reporter hasn't acked
#
bengo
aaronpk: My question is "What is left before this can be CR"?
#
bengo
eprodrom: As we did with AS2, we have to assess exit criteria for Webmention. And have a vote when we take to CR.
#
bengo
aaronpk: Do exit criteria have to be in before CR or during/after?
#
bengo
sandro: before
#
tantek
is there any value in publishing current ED as is as a WD?
#
bengo
aaronpk: So I'll work on that this week and maybe propose CR next week
#
tantek
with all the issues resolved?
#
aaronpk
oh yes thanks tantek
#
tantek
(just as I asked for AS2)
#
bengo
aaronpk: I would like to propose publishing a new WD based on current ED
#
bengo
tantek: Looking at the changes, it looks like they're significant enough to publish WD ASAP, given e.g. CSRF improvements
#

bengo++ for taking minutes!!! Thanks bengo
#
Loqi
bengo has 12 karma
#
annbass
and then, bengo ... if you can transform the minutes to from raw irc, to be posted in wiki
#
annbass
do you know how to do that?
#
bengo
umm no. I can copy paste out of my IRC client? Looking for export function now
#
annbass
just a sec .. rhiaro has a transform tool ... I'm just looking for the link
#

and I think that can operate on the RRSAgent IRC logs right?
#
tantek
which should already be online?
#
tantek
thanks much annbass !!
#
annbass
no worries; small contribution :-)
#
tantek
annbass: every little bit helps :)
#
annbass
that's the hope

annbass
I'll brb .. and will finish this then
#
bengo
Just did this maybe it is close to right
#
annbass
loqi! tell bengo -- minutes look great! (took me longer to get back than I expected; neighbors were locked out of their house)

#
tantek
greetings #social - I've created the stub Agenda for next week's telcon: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-04-26
#
tantek
please add individual discussion items to the section named as such: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-04-26#Discussion_Items
#
tantek
one change I made was to move the boilerplate "Document Status" to its own section AFTER our explicit (human added per call) "Discussion Items" section
#
tantek
I believe this is more in spirit with our decision to cover discussion items in the order they are added, rather than having different "sections" to add agenda items to
#
tantek
Also made sense to put Tracking Document Status adjacent (but before) Tracking of Actions and Issues
#
tantek
since it is a similar explicit Tracking of "check things" that the chairs do regularly
#
aaronpk
makes sense having it after the specific discussion items, as a way to catch things that didn't have explicit agenda items
#
aaronpk
just updated the f2f page with the new location, and added transportation info from the airport https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-06-07#Transportation
#
tantek
thanks aaronpk ! do you have suggested hotels near the venue?
#
aaronpk
yeah I can add a few
#
Zakim
excuses himself; his presence no longer seems to be needed
#
tantek
aaronpk do you remember where the photos ended up from the March MIT f2f? https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-03-16
#
aaronpk
i think i didn't post them yet! just saw them on my camera when i was looking up indiewebcamp photos
#
tantek
ah ok cool
#
tantek
when you post them could you put one on that page like https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2015-12-01
#
tantek
and then update the main page photo too? https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg
#
aaronpk
I also made a map with a bunch of relevant locations: https://goo.gl/72luEI (also linked from the meeting page)
#
aaronpk
do we have a page that lists a summary of the specs we're working on along with a description of them?
#
tantek
Document Status
#
aaronpk
there's no description there
#
tantek
home page?
#
tantek
why do you need description?
#
aaronpk
to send to someone not in the group, to let them know what the group is doing
#
aaronpk
specifically the hosts of the f2f
#
tantek
group home page is probably best for that
#
tantek
and if it's not, we should improve the home page accordingly
#
aaronpk
it's kind of overwhelming
#
aaronpk
the whole "Documentation" section can probably be moved somewhere else. I don't think we've used that section in ages
#
tantek
happy to accept suggestions for things to drop or move to other pages!
#
tantek
forgot about that section
#
aaronpk
I don't really understand what the "Process" section is for either, it kind of looks like a timeline, kind of looks like a list of specs, not sure how it relates
#
aaronpk
the telcon info isn't necessary on the home page, could probably be moved to its own page. i didn't even realize it was on there, i always look at the current agenda page for the call-in number.
#
tantek
just looked at Documentation. most of that should be moved to a /Socialwg/research page - it's background for work that we're doing
#
aaronpk
i suspect a lot of it is already on our research pages
#
tantek
no it's a research index
#
tantek
that's the point
#
tantek
the red links in #Documentation should just be deleted
#
aaronpk
ah yeah cause we had specific pages for each api and such
#
tantek
some stuff like the Use Cases and Inputs Into SocialWG should be separated out
#
tantek
Process is probably important to keep on the home page since it
#
tantek
it's a "how we work" top level thing, and the "sched" is linked from the Charter
#
tantek
Related Organizations could be moved to a subpage
#
tantek
Invited Expert Application and FAQ could also be moved to subpages
#
aaronpk
i have too much on my list for today to do that right now
#
tantek
no problem
#
tantek
if anyone is available to help with Social Web WG home page wiki cleanup/edits, please see above ^^^ and hopefully help out with a few (or even one) of those items
#
tantek
I just updated the Process section to reflect current state
#
tantek
goes to capture that itself
#
tantek
thanks for pointing out the problem (and goal) aaronpk
#
tantek
captured here along with the above ideas for improvement
