cwebber2 aaronpk: that's still leaving github at the center of things, and anyway, that's apready possible
#
cwebber2 aaronpk: the difficulty in people moving to something like gitlab and collaborating on not just *another* big gitlab instance I think shows the need for federation if you want to break away from centralization. Otherwise you're still dependent on github or mega-gitlab-instance for all the social components...

@rhiaro I dreamt about going into space to do routine maintenance on a satellite. With @SocialWebWG [...] It was AWESOME. https://rhiaro.co.uk/2016/09/space-socialwg (twitter.com/_/status/780721578774364160)
#
cwebber2 rhiaro: :)
#
cwebber2 fun dream!

#
cwebber2 https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/415 twitter bans andstatus from f-droid
#
cwebber2 the reason being, it's buildable from source, and twitter wants application keys
#
cwebber2 which doesn't work if your application is open source, since it needs to expose that key
#
cwebber2 hopefully we can do better than that!

rhiaro cwebber2, aaronpk, csarven, everyone else who wanted a call today: put things you want to talk about on the agenda https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-09-27
#
rhiaro And, i'm not sure if we have a chair.. anyone have evan access?
#
cwebber2 I feel like something came up towards the end of last call......
#
cwebber2 I'd like to do an IRC-only meeting if posssible
timbl and jasnell joined the channel
#
aaronpk cwebber2: i never said github would be in the "center". just that any git web interface would allow pull requests from other git web interfaces. i happened to use github as an example since everyone is familiar with it. there's definitely a lot of things github and gitlab and gogs support beyond just the git part, and those things need federating.
#
aaronpk well evan just sent an email saying today's call is cancelled
#
aaronpk and tantek listed his regrets on the meeting page already, so that means we don't have a chair
#
aaronpk so it looks like we can have an informal call if we want
#
cwebber2 aaronpk: right, as it is we don't have a way to do pull requests in a web-ish way between instances
#
cwebber2 and github's issue tracker is silo'ed
timbl and timbl_ joined the channel
#
rhiaro oh well
#
aaronpk luckily people are thinking about this already https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4013 https://github.com/gogits/gogs/issues/3131
#
rhiaro I'll be around IRC
#
rhiaro cwebber2: how's publishing your updated WD going?
#
cwebber2 rhiaro: doing it right now!
#

#
cwebber2 aaronpk: alex jordan is on there (the current pump.io maintainer) advocating for looking at the socialwg's work on the gitlab issue
#
cwebber2 nice!

#
csarven rhiaro: how's publishing your updated WD going?

#
cwebber2 we aren't doing a new WD of activitypub till next meeting I'll note
#
rhiaro kk
#
cwebber2 we postponed it for me to get a few things in at the last meeting
#
cwebber2 er, at the f2f
#
cwebber2 blorp
#
cwebber2 simultaneously working on that and getting all the review types
#
rhiaro We answered the security & privacy review, if you're interested
#
rhiaro Most of them are No
#
cwebber2 while being a little bit distracted by discovering that someone made an experimental JIT compiler for Guile.... published an answer out of nowhere!
#
cwebber2 rhiaro: yeah I'm looking at that while writing mine
#
cwebber2 thanks :)
#
cwebber2 I'm doing my "get all the review stuff out there" stuff today, before I explore the city tomorrow
#
rhiaro good plan
#
rhiaro how's London treating you?
#
cwebber2 I *did* do a bit of London exploration yesterday
#
cwebber2 rhiaro: great!
#
cwebber2 rhiaro: we went to http://www.timeout.com/london/attractions/dennis-severs-house http://www.dennissevershouse.co.uk/booking-and-visiting/silent-night/ which was incredible
#
cwebber2 it was like floating through a house in another era as a ghost
#
cwebber2 all the sights, smells, noises reproduced as a living still life type theater
#
cwebber2 really cool
#
cwebber2 that was my birthday activity :)
#
ben_thatmustbeme aaronpk: i won't be on audio on the call (big boss will be in the office today) but i'll be around
#
ben_thatmustbeme on IRC
#
cwebber2 ben_thatmustbeme: I think it sounds like we're not doing a meeting, or not a formal one
#
ben_thatmustbeme yeah, i know, he said i guess an informal call
#
ben_thatmustbeme but i can't actually "call" in
#
cwebber2 in the same boat
#
cwebber2 I can do irc-only tho
#
ben_thatmustbeme gah, new micropub client gets like 90% there then i realize i'm still missing X
#
ben_thatmustbeme wonders when cwebber2 got in his boat
#
ben_thatmustbeme y'er trying to steal me booty ain't ye?
#
ben_thatmustbeme :P
#
cwebber2 heh
