#
cwebber
sandro: I'm thinking until we're caught up and run out of things to talk about on meetings we should probably be meeting every week
#
cwebber
eprodrom: I just wanted to say I wonder to what extent this is dependent on the schedule for primarily ActivityPub, to some extent WebSub
#
cwebber
eprodrom: I think we've talked a little bit about extending the group if possible, urgency possibly goes up or down depending on whether we do that
#
cwebber
tantek: I agree, particularly in getting activitypub and websub in terms of checkmarks in terms of CR -> PR
#
aaronpk
did I just drop or did tantek drop?
#
ajordan
aaronpk pretty sure it was just you?
#
cwebber
tantek: to put it in a positive way, as long as we make normative changes we need to issue new CRs for or are updating the test suite, then we probably need to meet every week
#
cwebber
tantek: is that similar to what you're saying?
#
cwebber
eprodrom: yes that's exactly it
#
aaronpk
uhoh, dialing back in
#
cwebber
eprodrom: I'd hate to miss a deadline because we missed a meeting
#
cwebber
tantek: it sounds like the chairs and staff contact are in pretty strong agreement. if nobody objects I think we can make a call
#
cwebber
soudns good
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I'm good with next week
#
ajordan
cwebber: that was me
#
aaronpk
haha i wasn't even dialed in yet
#
Loqi
hahahaha
#
cwebber
tantek: and part of this is we need to set expectations that we'll do weekly calls as long as there's no objections

#
aaronpk
+1 i'll be in UTC+2 next week tho
#
cwebber
tantek: this isn't that big of a surprise anyway, we're basically moving back to our normal weekly telcon schedule until swe're confident with at least ActivityPub (and WebSub?) moving to PR

sandro: summary is nothing has changed
#
cwebber
tantek: in that case, I will reiterate my encouragement to all of you to reach out to your AC reps for all of you
#
cwebber
tantek: and encourage them to at least support the specifications if not commit to implementing them
#
cwebber
tantek: the more positive notes we can get the better. but at least we have no objections
#
cwebber
tantek: I'm postponing Post Type Discovery
#
cwebber
TOPIC: websub
#
cwebber
tantek: where are we with the test suite
#
cwebber
aaronpk: the test suite is very nearly done, subscriber tests are there
#
cwebber
aaronpk: a nice list of all the test cases there
#
cwebber
aaronpk: that's based on some of the github discussions that have happened. fortunately it doesn't require any normative changes in the spec because it's just behavior that shoudl happen in terms of http
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I'm in the middle of finishing the hubtests. the two main ones are done
#
cwebber
aaronpk: a basic subscription request, and there is a test for the signature (?)
#
cwebber
aaronpk: some hubs are public, some are part of publishing software like mastodon, wordpress... so I basically had to make two different flows for starting those tests
#
cwebber
aaronpk: yeah, those two are in place, I had to work on the edge cases
#
cwebber
aaronpk: the one thing I didn't do in the tests in order to speed things up is I didn't do anything to make it store the results
#
cwebber
could you repeat that last one
#
cwebber
aaronpk
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I didn't do anything to have it store the results, so it's just a tool that helps you fill out the implementation report
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
cwebber
tantek: ok so that begs the question, is there an implementation report template that an implementer can fill out manually based on the results of the test suite they get
#
cwebber
aaronpk: yep there's three of them, one for each role... the subscriber template is complete, and once I finish the hub test I'll have that
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I wanted to avoid previous problem where someone filled out report without tests available
#
cwebber
aaronpk: we have one for subscribers, will do for publishers
#
cwebber
tantek: the sooner we can put out a call for people to fill it out the better
#
cwebber
aaronpk: as soon as I do edge cases for publishers I can do taht
#
cwebber
tantek: if we're ready for subscribers, we can ask that now
#
cwebber
aaronpk: all I need to do is write the publisher report template
#
cwebber
tantek: great, then we can get the pub and the sub of pubsubhubbub
#
cwebber
tantek: when do you think this test suite for hubs will be completed
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I'm hoping before next week, before the end of this week, it'll be done
#
sandro
q+ to ask about testing 3rd parties
#
Zakim
sees sandro on the speaker queue
#
cwebber
tantek: that includes implementation reports as well?
#
cwebber
aaronpk: yep
#
cwebber
tantek: sounds good, do we know of implementations that will pass them, or?
#
cwebber
tantek: are we waiting more on "we have to find more implementations to document, encourage more implementing"
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I've been testing with a few as I"ve been going, superfeedr already passes it, and mastodon is very close
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I haven't tested as many subscribers because I don't know as many to test
#
cwebber
tantek: do you know of at least two implementations of subscribers?
#
cwebber
aaronpk: superfeedr is a subscriber but I haven't run it through tests as a subscriber yet
#
cwebber
aaronpk: there's woodwind also, but I haven't seen the results of that yet
#
cwebber
tantek: ok
#
sandro
Curious if github.com passes as a publisher (+hub?). It claims to implement PuSH. https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/hooks/
#
cwebber
tantek: any new issues needing group discussion for websub?
#
cwebber
aaronpk: don't believe so
#
cwebber
tantek: any editorial changes you need to publish as an updated CR?
#
cwebber
aaronpk: not at the moment
#
cwebber
sandro: we do have 4 uncategorized open issues
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
cwebber
aaronpk: 97 is a discussion one intended to remain open until PR, don't know how to tag that
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I think 98 could be resolved with some editorial language, 99 could be resolved as soon as implementation reports are in place, 102 is a question I had when I was implementing test suite, might not require any normative changes, wanted julian to weigh in
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] #102 Why should subscribers return 2xx on invalid signatures?
#
cwebber
aaronpk: 102 is when a hub delivers a notification that includes an incorrect signature, this is when it's expecting it to sign a notification
#
cwebber
aaronpk: when a hub returns an incorrect signature, it still returns 200, but I was wondering why not 400 bad request but I don't have any way to test that without a different status code to read
#
cwebber
aaronpk: ben pointed out that allowing the receiver to return 200 here allows processing here
#
cwebber
aaronpk: that makes sense to me, do others have thoughts on other reasons to return 200?
#
cwebber
sandro: I don't see ben's reason as a reason to say MUST, seems like a MAY. Only MUST I can think of is if you think it's a security risk. Given this is a human keyspace not a computer keyspace, I don'tt think guessing is a threat
#
cwebber
aaronpk: the other thing I could see is the hub is going to treat a non-200 status code as an error
#
cwebber
aaronpk: this may deactivate a subscription
#
cwebber
aaronpk: this may be one reason, but at the point that a hub is incorrectly ??? a signature, I'm not sure that's a valid case it would get into
#
cwebber
sandro: you'd want it to stop in this case I'd think. My inclination is this should be a MAY
#
cwebber
sandro: I agree this should at least be editorial
#
cwebber
aaronpk: yeah I think it needed some explaination regardless of outcome, but I wanted Julian to chime in because he probably knew where it came from
#
cwebber
tantek: could we have you at least propose some non-normative explanatory language?
#
cwebber
aaronpk: not until I know more about why this was in here
#
cwebber
tantek: I mean more the point about async from ben and sandro's point about reasoning for a MAY
#
cwebber
aaronpk: yeah I'd rather wait
#
cwebber
tantek: ok we'll look again next week
#
cwebber
tantek: could you ping julian again, aaronpk ?
#
cwebber
aaronpk: yep... I am going to mark it as editorial since it will be some explaination
#
cwebber
sandro: and if we change it to a MAY...
#
cwebber
sandro: it's hard to see that as requiring a new CR because it's loosening conformance criteria
#
cwebber
tantek: it's non-normative because it's loosening conformance requirements
#
cwebber
tantek: I'd like to resolve it one way or another next week
#
cwebber
tantek: in particular aaronpk I'd like you to figure out what you'd like to figure out what you'd like to do with this issue by next week
#
cwebber
aaronpk: ok
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] Upon further thought, the safest thing to do is the second approach I described. * The old topic URL should send a redirect to the new topic URL. This will provide a seamless transition for any clients polling the topic URL. * When the subscript...
#
cwebber
aaronpk: ok I'd also like to quickly talk about issue 98. I think we can get a resolution quickly
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I realized if you followed HTTP you'd handle subscriptions automatically
#
cwebber
aaronpk: doesn't require any special handling on the subscriber which is nice
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I would like to add an informative section describing this situation so there's some guidance in the spec on how to migrate
#
cwebber
tantek: ok
#
cwebber
tantek: seems reasonable, what do people think
#
cwebber
sandro: agreed
#
eprodrom

#
cwebber
tantek: I think esp since it's editorial we can leave it to editor's discretion
#
cwebber
aaronpk: ok
#
cwebber
aaronpk: will write it up
#
cwebber
tantek: write that up then why don't we accumulate any other editorial changes, if we're going to do a new CR with editorial changes let's do it next week instead of today
#
cwebber
aaronpk: ok
#
cwebber
aaronpk: we can publish new CR without restarting the process?
#
cwebber
tantek: yes for editorial only changes
#
cwebber
sandro: we did that with ActivityPub like 3 weeks ago
#
cwebber
tantek: feelf ree to edit the editorial draft as usual
#
cwebber
aaronpk: that covers everything
#

lol "would you like to clarify?"
#

cwebber, thanks sir
#
cwebber
sandro: as we talked about it last week, we talked about an extension as well as a rechartering. Extension is to take vastly increased enthusiasm and mastodon momentum in activitypub

cwebber
sandro: twenty-two new user interfaces in the last month and half a million users seems to be plenty of reason to take more time

Zakim

cwebber
tantek: the other observation last week is the release of miro? last week and their use of micropub and social apis
#
cwebber
tantek: their whole area has been to do replies using webmention and vouch, so that was the other piece that would go into this extension or rechartering, but seems like another area
#
cwebber
tantek: we have a spec and there's interest
#
cwebber
sandro: do you have numbers to show that to be more than one person's project?

ajordan
we're at the hour

I know cwebber does not agree.. but I think splitting up the mature part of activitypub of c2s go out and the s2s part which we're not sure we can test make that a second half

#
cwebber
sandro: to clarify the process, extending is what we did in December, and what I'm suggesting we do now
#
ajordan
audio died
#
cwebber
sandro: it's basically a w3c management decision saying this group is doing ok, and it doesn't involve moving to the advisory committee or change scope. it might involve agreement that it goes to this narrow thing, but it's relatively straightforward
#
cwebber
sandro: my expectation is that if things are picking up the way things are going, we might want to recharter, which might mean some people come and go, but a rechartering makes sense (it would mean 20 members get on board)
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
cwebber
sandro: but those are very separate things between rechartering and extension
#
cwebber
sandro: if we get the extension to weave mastodon into the fold, would it make sense to weave in vouch and salmentions?
#
cwebber
tantek: the other way to frame those if you want is iterating on webmention
#
cwebber
tantek: these are the extensions we've iterated on since the rec and I think that's grey area enough to ask what your comfort level is
#
cwebber
sandro: I will put that on the agenda
#
cwebber
tantek: the sort-of-obvious thing is I haven't had time to do updates on Post Type Discovery
#
cwebber
sandro: I don't think we'd need to say a "limited extension", we'd leave our hands not particularly tied
#
Zakim
sees no one on the speaker queue
#
cwebber
sandro: at which case we have a continuing chartter
#
cwebber
tantek: I want to address eprodrom, he was addressing potential c2s and s2s separation
#
cwebber
tantek: while I don't disagree on maturity, from extension or rechartering it makes sense to keep both

#
Zakim

#
cwebber
sandro: best to not be wishy washy and just clear about what we want
#
cwebber
tantek: the other point raised to me in other capacity is increasing desire from w3c management for working groups to do maintenance of their specs including folding in erratta etc
#
cwebber
tantek: esp if you spec is being close to being done etc
#
cwebber
tantek: normative fixes etc
#
cwebber
tantek: so you could see a .rev etc
#
cwebber
tantek: this is something to consider for everything that we're doing
#
cwebber
tantek: from my understanding the w3c management *wants* to hear on how we are doing maintenance
#
cwebber
sandro: seems to me pretty clear given our CG plan that we have a pretty good plan there
#
cwebber
sandro: I'm assuming aaron and chris are willing to maintain the specs they've edited
#
cwebber
yes
#
cwebber
tantek: first half is getting eratta edited and done in there, second half is getting them published as official w3c docs with IP protection, etc
#
cwebber
tantek: my understanding is they'd like to see that in a WG
#
cwebber
sandro: when we get to that, yes

aaronpk: so it looks like from https://beta.doodle.com/poll/vvn2rn36ikgpx96b#table that next time friday works for you and me, so we should do that then
#
cwebber
but in general it looks like friday and sunday are the days that work for people
#
cwebber
aaronpk: I wonder if we should schedule next on friday, and the one after that on sunday, to see if it captures some people who can't make it on weekdays otherwise
#
cwebber
aaronpk: and after doing that we can make a decision for what day to do regularly
#
aaronpk
we could do that
#
cwebber
aaronpk: is that too convoluted? does itt make sense to you?
#
aaronpk
i'm a little concerned i won't be able to make next friday, since it'll be dinner time in germany right before indiewebcamp
#
aaronpk
but i will try to make it
#
cwebber
aaronpk: ok
#
sandro
Really torn -- switching days tends to be terrible... But the two names I see as Diaspora folks can't do Friday.
#
cwebber
the main people that can't do it next sunday seem to be people heading to indiewebcamp
#
cwebber
which I assume is more because IWC
#
cwebber
than long term
#
sandro
I wonder if some people answer for just those times, instead of for 'every week'.
#
ajordan
sandro: did you not?
#
sandro
I understood it as 'every week'
#
aaronpk
oh no i think that poll was specificalyl about the next one
#
sandro
yeah, okay, so very, very unclear.
#
cwebber
:)
#
cwebber
failboats
#
aaronpk
my answers were definitely about those specific dates, not on a recurring basis
#
sandro
we'll need another poll for long-term, AND lets make that an 'If-Need-Be' poll?
#
sandro
such fun.
#
ajordan
many wow
#
cwebber
so one stupid way to do it
#
cwebber
is to set up the "long term" poll
#
cwebber
and do friday next week, sunday the week after
#
cwebber
and ask participants on both to fill it out
#
cwebber
maybe that's too complicated :)
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
cwebber
or we could just decide this looks more like sunday than friday
#
cwebber
in general
#
cwebber
we haven't heard from the people heading to IWC whether in general they can make sunday
#
cwebber
s
#
cwebber
ugh
#
cwebber
I hate making these decisions
#
cwebber
:)
#
sandro
How about making an in-general poll -- and seeing the results of that before making any long-term decisions.

ajordan

#
Loqi
sandro has 36 karma in this channel (43 overall)
#
cwebber
so should we do friday or sunday for next week then?
#
aaronpk
the next 2 weeks are not representative of my normal schedule since i have indiewebcamps both weekends and will be in germany the whole time
#
cwebber
aaronpk: got it :)
#
sandro
And maybe include some times earlier in the day, which are generally more okay for europe
#
ajordan
aaronpk: two!! \o/
#
ajordan
that's awesome
#
sandro
I wonder if you can get Eugen to stop by one of them... I dunno where in Germany he is.
#
cwebber
sandro: one person who expressed a very vague (not strong enough to make decisions on) interest in attending is in new zeland... there's no way we're getting that to align with a US + Europe schedule :)
#
aaronpk
oh yeah I didn't hear back from him here about that

ajordan

My most serious effort to make a meeting that could accommodate people all over the world, with two time slots: https://www.w3.org/blog/egov/2012/03/19/atlantic-and-eurasian-egov-meetings/ It didn't work, fwiw.
dmitriz joined the channel
#
cwebber
sandro: :)
#
cwebber
I feel like the time slot we chose last time was pretty good though
#
sandro
I agree
#
cwebber
earlier than 9am is just kind of painful for west-coasters I think, which we have quite a few of
#
cwebber
but it still accomodates most of europe
#
cwebber
so I might put up another poll for the day
#
cwebber
but not the time
#
cwebber
for the long-term choice
#
aaronpk
8am really isn't that bad especially in the summer
#
aaronpk
it gets light at 5:45am now
#
sandro
Do we need to play into the stereotypes by having the meeting Friday evening (in europe) ? :-)
#
sandro
(stereotype about the social lives of the people who care about social networking)
#
aaronpk
yeah friday evening is not ideal long term
#
cwebber
it really looks like sunday might be the best on that list
#
cwebber
but we'll re-poll
#
cwebber
aaronpk: in the meanwhile, what do you think, should we do next meeting on friday or sunday, given you probably can't make next week anyhow but still might be able to
#
sandro
Or Monday. or Tuesday. Or Wednesday. *sigh*
#
cwebber
I fee like I'm being too wishy washy
#
sandro
How so?
#
sandro
Making too many options?
#
cwebber
sandro: "commit to a strategy", my brother would say, trouncing me in any board game
#
sandro
You could poll a few folks who seem critical first, and then eliminate those options from the poll most people see.
#
cwebber
I'm going to lunch :)
#
sandro
But, in general, it's overconstrainted and there's no good solution.
#
sandro
Except that. Going to lunch is a good solution, yes.

I think swicg is a terrible name
#
sandro
It's pure insider speak, to some group Tantek is inside
sandro joined the channel
#
aaronpk
the problem with SocialCG is that it leaves out both the "web" and the "incubator" aspect
#
cwebber
has no strong preference, bikes away from this shed :)
#
aaronpk
web -- we're not working on other non-web federation specs, e.g. XMPP or blockchain stuff
#
cwebber
I agree with the terms I and W in there
#
cwebber
I do think SocialCG is easier to say
#
cwebber
both are compelling points
#
aaronpk
incubator -- we need to not forget that this is based on incubating specs rather than legislating specs
#
cwebber
compelling enough for me to not care :)
#
cwebber
pick a name and a pronunciation and we'll go with it
#
aaronpk
the "CG" part is w3c-specific terminology, which is less important to me to maintain
#
aaronpk
e.g. "SWIG" would be fine with me, and is way less "insider speak" and is obviously pronounceable

according to this the charter ended in 2016 https://www.w3.org/2006/07/swig-charter.html but that's not that long ago

swinc?
#
cwebber
I dunno, SocialCG isn't that bad is it?
#
cwebber
what if we put very explicitly in the branding
#
cwebber
that it's about the web, and it's about incubation
#
cwebber
swinc I guess is ok, though SocialCG sounds like a clear continuation of this
#
cwebber
and I agree with sandro that it "tells something" when you hear it, without expansion
KevinMarks_ and KevinMarks joined the channel
#
cwebber
at aaronpk's suggestion, I took a stab at emphasizing what the Web and Incubator parts of the group are on the wiki page so we might still keep the SocialCG as the offical shorthand but make it very clear how Web and Incubator apply
#
cwebber
if you think it's good we can put it on the wordpress'y homepage of the group

lol how do I test that something *doesn't* happen, especially if there is no expectation of when it would happen if it were to incorrectly happen
#

testing unsubscribing is tricky
#
cwebber
aaronpk: having a lot of issues with the "testing the client" side of things that are similar
#
cwebber
a lot of it seems to be asking the client to confirm what they do/don't see happen

i think i'm going to wait for like 15 seconds and if no notification is received, tell them everything is good
