hm, after last week's CG call, I'm looking forward to today's... But it's pretty quiet here.
#
puckipedia
oh woops?
#
puckipedia
I keep kinda forgetting stuff because I have university :<
#
sandro
Also, Woops, no meeting today. I see from https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG#Meetings
#
cwebber2
it's not today
#
cwebber2
yeah, next week
#
cwebber2
sandro: biweekly... which for the last few weeks has aligned with the SocialWG one but
#
cwebber2

[ajordan] Hey y'all wish me luck
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] I have a meeting today to try to get an independent study approved which involves submitting a draft to the IETF :-)
#
cwebber2
ajordan: cool! what draft would it be on?
#
cwebber2
good luck
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Thanks!!
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Basically a 2FA system based on HTTP Push
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Google has a really really nice implementation where your phone will just pop up a "are you trying to sign in? Yes/no" dialog but it's proprietary obviously
#
Loqi

cdchapman joined the channel
#
puckipedia
lol I should implement that
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] puckipedia: I mean eventually I'll need implementation experience to make it through the process ;)
timbl, KevinMarks_ and KevinMarks joined the channel
#
aaronpk
ajordan: have you seen the other vendors' implementations of that? it'd be worth looking at and talking to them to get support for it
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
aaronpk
Authy and Okta are two that come to mind
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
aaronpk
I actually just implemented that for logging in to my website last week!
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] aaronpk: I haven't, that's a great idea though!
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] I'm not sure how Google's works internally either
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] I'd love to find out but not sure how
#
aaronpk
the team that works on login stuff is really friendly, they were at Okta's conference last year.
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Oh that's awesome
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] I wonder if I can find contact info for them
#
aaronpk
William Denniss is the guy that came to the conference last year, we chatted a bunch about some of the new OAuth specs they are working on https://twitter.com/williamdenniss
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Thanks aaronpk, that's super helpful
#

[ajordan] Someone on IRC aaronpk++ for me

#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] thx sknebel ;)
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] I really gotta write a better bridge
#
Loqi
aaronpk: lol
#
aaronpk
you can use mine as a starting point
#
aaronpk
should be relatively easy to swap the Slack backend for Jabber https://github.com/aaronpk/Slack-IRC-Gateway
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] Slack-IRC-Gateway: Bridge Slack rooms to IRC channels
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Lol yes we've had this discussion before
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] It's non-trivial because you have to pretend to be a Jabber server
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] But I've always intended to use yours ;)
#
aaronpk
orly, interesting
#
aaronpk
oh right cause you're not bridging a jabber room with an irc room, you're using a jabber client to connect to IRC
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] No no, I'm bridging a room
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] w3social@muc.im.koderoot.net
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Or you need to abuse some server's in-band registration but a) no one allows that because spam and b) rude :P
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] aaronpk: ^^^ that's why
#
aaronpk
well that sounds like fun :)
#
aaronpk
runs the other way
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Hahaha ikr
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] I'm REALLY hoping I don't end up implementing a complete XMPP stack from scratch
#
aaronpk
there *must* be a library you can use for that
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Also the docs are full of 404s...

sknebel
isn't that what jabber "components" are for? but it's been ages since I looked into stuff like that
#
sknebel
(so you run a "normal" server and then plug a component into it that can do things looking like the server did them?)
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] I'm not sure, I found an implementation for those but dismissed it cause it didn't look like what I wanted
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Maybe I'll look into it more tho, that's interesting
#
xmpp-social
[ajordan] Sounds complicated to deploy/maintain though
