ajordan mkay two questions
#
ajordan aaronpk: out of curiosity, how does Loqi's Twitter support work? does it just use their stream API or whatever with particular keywords/users?
#
ajordan two
#
ajordan pretty sure a bunch of the CGs in https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg#All_Social_Web_Related_CGs are dead
#
aaronpk yeah Loqi watches the streaming API for a handful of keywords
#
aaronpk lol i didn't realize we were linking to those CGs. pretty sure a bunch of them have been requested to merge with ours
#
ajordan e.g. ActivityPub has a CG listed there but all that work is going on in the SocialCG
#
ajordan yea
#
aaronpk yeah that activitypub CG was from before activitypub was called activitypub :)
#
ajordan lol

Loqi Strugee made 1 edit to [[Socialwg/invited-experts]] https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?diff=103055&oldid=100821
#
cwebber2 yeah oops
#
astronouth7303 hm. There seems to be some fragmentation about something.
#
astronouth7303 Some specs expect URL identities, while others expect email-like
#
@annbass Yay for hard work by committed @SocialWebWG! https://twitter.com/w3c/status/867051598224216064 (twitter.com/_/status/867245062782164993)
#
ajordan astronouth7303: probably the email-like ids are relying on Webfinger
#
ajordan I'm guessing. idk really
#
astronouth7303 i feel like that's something that really, really can't show up in the UI
#
ajordan astronouth7303: what do you mean?
#
ajordan define "that"
#
ajordan and "can't"
#
@fmvilas Activity Streams 2.0 is now a W3C standard ? congrats @jasnell and @evanpro https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/ (twitter.com/_/status/867285590148100096)
#
csarven cwebber2 evanpro Was https://www.w3.org/community/activitypub/ discussed here. If not, FYI..
#
csarven reminder rather. in case that needs to be wrapped up or point towards swicg?

csarven !tell

csarven !tell tantek

#
csarven openness, interoperable solutions. Not dictating a particular set of tech, but rather those acid tests and challenges as you know.
#
csarven !tell tantek I don't have any hope from 3rd party publishers nor want to (or have energy to) take them on directly. All I care is to see a social change within the sw/ld/webscience community (for starters) so that we can "have nice things". The Linked Research initiative is primarily intended to encourage/enable researchers to take on some responsibility and consider the implications of their contributions. Some emphasis on accessibility, decentralisation,
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
astronouth7303 ajordan: that little mismatch can't be visible to end users

#
cwebber2 csarven: yeah I thiiiiink on a recent call someone (tantek?) said evanpro said they would close it or redirect it but hasn't yet...?
#
ben_thatmustbeme csarven: yeah, I brought it up when we first suggested the name activitypub, and multiple times since, we suggested closing it, but i don't think it ever happened formally to request it
#
ben_thatmustbeme also csarven, what was that tell tantek in regard to?

Loqi [tantek] csarven++ for continuing to politely fight the good fight for open scholarship / academics. This whole thread / tweetstorm down: https://twitter.com/csarven/status/863080342898577408
