# cwebber hi Gargron
# cwebber Gargron: well one way would be to use a different type on the actor
# cwebber Gargron: so instead of Person you could use Application iirc
# cwebber gotta double check the type
# cwebber but I think that's one of the actor types
# cwebber Gargron: ^^^

# cwebber saranix: I thought it would be worth mentioning how they're handling the nomadic identity problem
# cwebber as an overview of possibl approaches
# cwebber *possible
# rowan taktek: i’m in MA, why?
# rowan *tantek
# cwebber is going to be in MA next week! but not very close to you I think rowan
# rowan oh damn i’m busy :(
# cwebber will be in Cambridge for Rebooting Web of Trust
# rowan yeah i’m in the same town as shel, plus i’ll be in vt this weekend anyway
# cwebber is in Washington DC right now!
# cwebber rowan: oh shel's there too? cool
# cwebber rowan: I'm in that area usually once a year to visit my friend Bassam after LibrePlanet
# cwebber he's a cool free culture animator person, works out of the animation lab at Hampshire
# cwebber *College
# rowan right! you connected us on twitter and we both don’t know people lol
# cwebber oh right :)
# cwebber maybe if I'm in the area next time we can have a mini-fediverse-meetup
# cwebber assuming people would feel like being social (being #social?)
# rowan yeah that’d be delightful, lmk for sure!
# cwebber :)
# saranix cwebber: DIDs are actually better than zot nomadic ID. What we could actually borrow/improve is Zot's magic-auth. Magic mike has started a new "OpenWebAuth" approach that utilizes http-sigs but I think we could take it even further and it has great potential
# cwebber tantek: me too, I didn't realize i'd miss it until we didn't have one!
# cwebber tantek: did we have a F2F this year? time is difficult :)
# cwebber I think maybe the one aaronpk hosted in Portland?
# cwebber saranix: I also think DIDs are better, but I wanted to put it on the table
# cwebber tantek: no 2017 meetings huh? I guess we all thought we were winding down sooner than we thought tho
# cwebber oh
# cwebber right around LibrePlanet maybe..?
# cwebber guess not then!
# cwebber sandro: btw maybe I should swing by and see you at the w3c office on Monday or Friday?
# cwebber since I'll be so close by
# cwebber tantek: I guess I forgot since I'm not in the pic, so it didn't happen ;)
# cwebber bad joke, boos self off stage
# cwebber it's hard to believe that 2017 is 3/4 over :X
# cwebber :)
# rowan i’m in western MA, so about two hours away - but end up over there frequently enough

tantek cwebber how about you? would you be up for coming to IndieWebCamp hackweekend? There's been a bunch of recent growing interest (and development) of building ActivityPub and OStatus bridges that might interest you (ajordan is to blame :) ) http://indieweb.org/bridge#ActivityPub
# cwebber tantek: :)
# cwebber tantek: uh, when is it?
# cwebber it will be hard for me to make it out to anything else this year
# cwebber tantek: if you wanted to do a Cambridge one, maybe we could coordinate it with LibrePlanet 2018, in which case I will definitely come
# cwebber which is in March I think?
# cwebber also if you haven't been, LibrePlanet is a nice conference to attend IMO
# cwebber :)
# cwebber it's a nice hybrid of technology meets the social impact / advocacy side of things
# cwebber rms did do that yeah :\
# cwebber but, most of the conference is not rms
# cwebber +1 to speaking up
# saranix rms did wat?
