I'll look after the meeting 18:12:08 bengo: cool 18:12:09 Arnaud: thank you. anything else? 18:12:22 TOPIC: Document Status 18:12:40 Arnaud: sandro put together a page to capture the list of documents we have in the works 18:12:43 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/DocumentStatus 18:13:04 Arnaud: and the status on each document. I've looked at this page and it hasn't gotten much love. no edits since sandro put it together 18:13:34 Arnaud: I wanted to raise this issue. not sure if people forgot about it, but we should update this page maybe each editor takes responsibility for the section they are editing 18:14:07 Arnaud: are there any issues with this page to be raised? I see amy didn't see that it was there so hopefully it was that people didn't get a chance to see it or review it. 18:14:17 Arnaud: questions or comments? 18:14:36 TOPIC: Face to Face Goals and Agenda 18:14:37 cwebber has joined #social 18:14:39 hi 18:14:41 sorry I'm late 18:14:50 present+ cwebber2 18:14:53 Arnaud: there was an agenda put together by the chairs and sandro 18:15:03 Arnaud: trying to figure out how to make this meeting productive and efficient 18:15:17 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-03-16#Goals_for_the_meeting 18:15:34 +1 18:16:06 Arnaud: is seems unreasonable to pick a winner among various specs. what seems reasonable is to note what the differences are and what strengths each have. 18:16:59 Arnaud: something to guide a developer to choose one solution over another. this seems like something we can defend. something where people can work on specs in parallel and such that people can choose appropiately which to use. 18:17:02 present+ tsyesika 18:17:19 Arnaud: the working group charter will expire at the end of the year and it is unknown if there will be any extension 18:17:47 Arnaud: the money is thin and it is unsure if there is any expectation of extension and we should assume we will end at the end of the year and how to best use the time we have left 18:18:02 Arnaud: there are specs we can get to CR by june and publish at the end of year 18:18:23 Arnaud: we should focus and not let differences of opinion to sidetrack us and we all agree not having anything to show is the worst case 18:18:48 (sounds right to me) 18:18:48 Arnaud: so we should note and focus on what specs are good for and when they are appropriate 18:19:00 that sounds good, where would this guidance live? in the social web protocols doc? 18:19:07 +1 18:19:13 Arnaud: and defer to fellow chairs and open it to the rest of the group for suggestions 18:19:36 Arnaud: as always the agenda is a wiki and one can feel free to add items to that agenda 18:19:58 +1 this sounds like a good path 18:20:02 Aaronpk made 1 edit to [[Socialwg/2016-03-16]] https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?diff=97693&oldid=97692 18:20:03 Abasset made 1 edit to [[Socialwg/2016-03-16]] https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?diff=97694&oldid=97693 18:20:04 Cwebber2 made 1 edit to [[Socialwg/2016-03-16]] https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?diff=97695&oldid=97694 18:20:23 q? 18:20:25 Arnaud: I see rhiaro has +1 and she should be able to help us with this task with her work comparing and aggregating the specifications in her guiding document 18:20:36 Arnaud: no one is on the queue so nobody is dying to speak 18:20:48 q+ 18:20:52 Arnaud: so that's about it for the agenda. is there anything else anybody else wants to bring up today? 18:20:55 Arnaud: bengo? 18:20:56 ack bengo 18:21:08 bengo: couple of weeks ago I mentioned I might not be able to get to Boston 18:21:09 https://coralproject.net/beyond-comments-our-first-event/ 18:21:09 q+ to request demos, and spec progress at f2f 18:21:12 https://twitter.com/daviderwin/status/684840432438775808 18:21:14 @daviderwin :: @bengo @losowsky @gjbarb It is in development. I'll ping you soon. Thanks for the #w3 links. Will strongly consider adjusting to conform. 18:21:24 bengo: I missed the call because I was meeting with the Coral project leads 18:21:29 +1 on demos 18:21:34 bengo: Coral is a mozilla project about making open source tools for online media 18:21:46 bengo: there are factors where social web specs would fit with them 18:22:04 bengo: they were intrigued and we discovered mozilla is a w3c member 18:22:22 bengo: and they said they would look at implementing some of the specs for their socialweb usecases 18:22:27 bengo: look out for them 18:22:42 AnnB: I was wondering if that guy is located in the east can he come to the f2f? 18:22:53 bengo: I think in NYC and I will remind them about the F2F next week 18:23:14 tantek: also the indiewebcamp. he is at mozilla so he can talk to the people in charge of standards 18:23:40 tantek: I've emailed the coral folks in the past and got some positive noises but sometimes it takes somebody from the outside to get attention 18:24:08 bengo: I talked to them a while ago and there were just getting things going 18:24:15 tantek: did you send them the various specs 18:24:30 bengo: I sent several specs and will send them the document status page 18:24:33 tantek: thanks appreciate it 18:24:38 ack tantek 18:24:38 tantek, you wanted to request demos, and spec progress at f2f 18:24:44 Arnaud: alright thank you. tantek is on the queue? 18:24:56 I just put our demo on the agenda 18:25:00 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-03-16#Demos 18:25:11 tantek: yes. there is a demo section on the [f2f] agenda and want to see the activitypump federation. ah thank you chris. 18:25:19 tantek: add demos of tech to the agenda 18:25:35 tantek: if you can update it to use activitypub that would be more awesome hint hint 18:25:55 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/2016-03-16#Reading_List 18:26:00 tantek: we will also discuss drafts to publish so there is a required reading section which has only 3 things right now 18:26:07 tantek: if you want to discuss more add things to that list 18:26:24 tantek: we want very much to help editors to move forward with documents. any questions about that process, reach out to us 18:26:27 tantek, sorry, that won't happen by then, but we'll instead be able to demonstrate what will change between that and AP 18:26:37 tantek: we want to use the f2f to move this forward and empower editors to do so 18:26:45 Arnaud: thank you tantek 18:26:56 Arnaud: anything else? 18:27:10 Arnaud: if not, I think we'll be able to close the call early 18:27:16 Excellent 18:27:31 Arnaud: I don't think we have anything in the tracker, do we?? we copy and paste this over but I'm not sure it is useful anymore. 18:27:58 Arnaud: anyone want to give an update to the actions listed. there are a bunch still listed and I've been probing to have people clean that up. 18:28:17 Arnaud: with actions... either you complete the action, bring it up to the group, or there is something blocking you. 18:28:19 q+ 18:28:32 Arnaud: so maybe with the f2f, you should take a look at that list and assess what is blocking you 18:28:33 ack shevski 18:28:36 Arnaud: shevski? 18:29:04 shevski: hey. I have a question: is there a list of where these specs are implemented. 18:29:13 shevski: should we push to have more people using them 18:29:30 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams 18:29:45 tantek: there is a list for activity streams somewhere off the homepage that lists implementations 18:29:56 tantek: most of those are a little outdated or about AS1 18:30:02 Cwebber2 made 1 edit to [[Socialwg/2016-03-16]] https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?diff=97696&oldid=97695 18:30:03 Eprodrom made 1 edit to [[Socialwg/2016-03-16]] https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?diff=97697&oldid=97696 18:30:11 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams#Implementations <--- outdated implementations 18:30:50 Arnaud: btw when we go to CR we have to be formal about this. there is an implemention report we have to present to show the specs are implemented. 18:31:11 q+ 18:31:21 shevski: is it worth having one of the agenda items to update that doc or create a new doc for that? 18:31:34 shevski: and talk about what/who is in the pipeline for implementation and start that work 18:31:37 Arnaud: I don't see why not 18:31:58 k 18:32:14 tantek: right now we need volunteers, we need that document to be cleaner. can people (looking at bengo) add new items to this list or move this to a more general location. 18:32:29 tantek: should we make that an action, Arnaud? 18:32:33 Arnaud: a formal action? 18:32:35 tantek: sure 18:33:12 Arnaud: we aren't doing that good at tracking those actions. for me it is really for bengo to figure out if this is useful to him... the formal action. not doubting the importance of this page. 18:33:17 ack aaronpk 18:33:21 q? 18:33:24 q+ 18:33:25 https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/#implementations 18:33:28 https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/#implementations 18:33:44 Maybe have implementation links/lists in the Document Status page sections? 18:33:46 aaronpk: not on the queue but I want to jump in. I have implementations listed in the spec. so you can see how many implementations there are right now. 18:34:21 Arnaud: maybe what we need is to put these on the document status page and we can add a link or a list 18:34:26 tantek: add a link don't duplicate work 18:34:37 sandro: you would rather not use a wiki for this aaronpk? 18:34:49 aaronpk: I have no trouble with the current method and will take PRs 18:35:06 sandro: going forward it cannot be in the spec because the list will change but the spec cannot change 18:35:18 sandro: it surely is convenient, but we should aim to have it out of the spec at some point 18:35:44 tantek: perhaps when we go to CR we can have a list "at the point of CR" and link to a wiki for more 18:36:00 q+ 18:36:07 ack sandro 18:36:07 Arnaud: in the spec? it can be in the wiki, but it cannot be in the spec. we have to freeze the spec. it can have a pointer to implementations. 18:36:13 sandro: but not a frozen link 18:36:31 q+ to wonder "Has there been a call for implementations for AS2 yet?" 18:36:47 sandro: what comes to mind is w3 wiki slash implementations and that would be nice to have all implementations of specs but maybe a wiki isn't good enough and editors want more control 18:37:02 q- 18:37:03 tantek: wiki pages don't work because people can put things there and they disappear 18:37:18 sandro: good pages have commentary but also will have test results 18:37:52 AS2 has some implementations 18:37:58 Arnaud: I think a page of informal list of implementations so we know what's there. and then there is the CR list which shows a formal knowledge of what is capable but not let the world add whatever 18:38:09 q? 18:38:10 Arnaud: it would be useful to gather that information regardless 18:38:12 but not AP, AP has predecessor implementations in pump.io 18:38:15 ack bengo 18:38:15 bengo, you wanted to wonder "Has there been a call for implementations for AS2 yet?" 18:38:23 aaronpk: has there been a call for implementations for AS2? 18:38:23 wiki pages for implementations lists by themselves in particular seem kind of ineffective 18:38:27 Arnaud: CR is that call for implementation 18:38:32 s/aaronpk/bengo 18:38:36 dang 18:39:19 Here's my idea of an Implementation Report: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-turtle/reports/index.html 18:39:44 k 18:39:53 tantek: there hasn't been a formal call for implementations at the w3c but these days usually there is some degree of implementation throughout 18:40:02 Aaronpk made 1 edit to [[Socialwg/DocumentStatus]] https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?diff=97698&oldid=97606 18:40:04 tantek: it is your and your company's call when to implement 18:40:05 or my first, from long ago: https://www.w3.org/2003/08/owl-systems/test-results-out 18:40:22 bengo: I've burned some social capital with older specs but the spec is currently very good 18:40:46 Arnaud: that's the risk which is why formally there is that CR spec where people have agreed upon much of the spec and issues are closed 18:40:54 it's a trade-off. in the past we'd (W3C) also get unimplementable specs because no one tried. 18:40:56 sandro: re implementations, i was thinking something more human readable with context on use cases too 18:41:17 Arnaud: and there is a tradeoff between the two approaches where you wait too long to implement fully and are more likely to find issues 18:41:33 thanks Arnaud 18:41:34 Arnaud: anything else? if not I'll give back the time and we'll meet next at the F2F meeting 18:41:36 +1 bye bye 18:41:38 wilkie++ 18:41:39 shevski - sounds worth discussing at the f2f 18:41:40 wilkie has 29 karma 18:41:40 Arnaud: although I personally will not be attending 18:41:45 wilkie++ 18:41:46 ok 18:41:47 wilkie has 30 karma 18:41:54 scribes are angels 18:41:57 Arnaud: thanks.
