@annbass @abdeldjalil Great! Go sign up at that link. (Any of your students, too). I think the Fed Soc Web CG is defunct, actually. @SocialWebWG (twitter.com/_/status/800609304134856705)
#
@annbass @abdeldjalil Or maybe you're referring to yet another group? In any case, we should all go forward together! #SocialWebWG (twitter.com/_/status/800609494157828096)

#
tantek Hey I just got a heads-up from a "DenSchub" on Freenode IRC that jason robinson is no longer working on Diaspora? anyone confirm or deny?
#
tantek cwebber2: do you know the Diaspora folks well enough to ask what's up with Jason or maybe you already know?
#
cwebber2 tantek: hey, I got an email from Jason a couple of days ago (though hadn't gotten around to reading it)
#
cwebber2 tantek: he did mention he left init... he commented some things but it was a private email, so I'll PM you since I don't know what's ok to be logged
#
tantek cwebber2 - hmm - in that case, he should at least update his affiliation on his W3C account
#
tantek if you can reply to him accordingly, that would be great
#
cwebber2 tantek: ok, I'll reply to him and mention that

@KKjernsmo .@rhiaro @SocialWebWG yeah, we need to take this into account. We need canaries that will sound an alarm if things seem under attack (twitter.com/_/status/800785163919781888)
#
@rhiaro @KKjernsmo @SocialWebWG Yes, with those canaries explicitly not being vulnerable minorities. https://rhiaro.co.uk/2016/11/canaries (twitter.com/_/status/800785992416268288)
#
@KKjernsmo @rhiaro @SocialWebWG yeah, or different minorities, like all the Jews and atheists pledging to register as Muslims these days. (twitter.com/_/status/800786364593831937)
