If you have not yet ... is it still possible to register? 17:15:16 tantek: it is, just more expensive 17:15:43 ... registration fee doubled on sept 2 and room blocks may have expired as well 17:15:47 sandro: there are defintiely other housing options 17:16:01 Oops ... Sorry; late regrets. Taking care of old friend in RI. No way to watch him & also be at meeting. See y'all in Lisbon! 17:16:02 eprodrom: I'm not going to be able to make it, I'll add my regrets 17:16:08 ... Company conflict 17:16:18 ... But will be remote 17:16:41 ... I guess we have one more telecon before it happens 17:16:43 ... Any questions? 17:16:51 sandro: We should do agenda planning, at least among chairs 17:17:52 ... any further discussion about the f2f? 17:17:58 s/.../eprodrom 17:18:15 eprodrom: Important for us to get an agenda up... make sure we fill that up 17:18:17 ... Anything else? 17:18:33 tantek: I do have one concern which is that I think this might be our first f2f with no w3c members signed up to attend not counting chairs 17:18:38 ... for actual wg participants 17:18:51 ... Which is pretty unusual for a meeting at tpac 17:19:04 ... If you're on the call and a w3c member we'd like to know why you haven't signed up 17:19:16 ... A concern particularly wrt rechartering 17:20:12 sandro: In my mind that seems *noise* this group, that there is very little industry interest in what we're doing. Unfortunate and would be nice if we could figure out how to change it but has been the case for a long time now 17:20:26 tantek: we did have people at the different f2fs, this is the first time this has happened 17:20:36 sandro: it's on the trajectory, not surprising 17:21:01 tantek: just from a process perspective, makes it much harder to propose rechartering, we used w3c resources paid for by members, so makes it hard to justify continunig the wg when there are no members participating 17:21:08 sandro: we need 20 members to charter a new group 17:21:23 ... 10 or 15 actually participating, typically. We're a long way from that 17:21:38 tantek: we might discuss at the f2f, we have chartering on the agenda 17:21:51 sandro: we talked about doing some sort of session at the unconference thing on wednesday 17:21:53 tantek: yes 17:22:04 sandro: maybe plan a little more about that, there's a wiki page, we can write a pitch for that now 17:22:15 tantek: encouraged to write up proposals for that 17:22:23 eprodrom: you mean this week, not right now? 17:22:29 tantek: any time between now and the end of tpac 17:22:32 sandro: over the next 2 weeks 17:23:09 tantek: when there is insufficient member interest the w3c typically recommends becoming a CG or IG which don't take up as much resources, but allows anyone who is interested to continue having some w3c related forum to discuss these things 17:23:16 ... We'll look at all those options 17:23:26 ... If anyone has any other proposals or brainstorms for possibilities we're open to hearing different proposals 17:23:36 ... just want to keep that in people's minds as we get close to charter end 17:24:09 TOPIC: AS2 next steps 17:24:28 sorry for the charter sidetrack - I wanted to make sure people are thinking about it, because end of charter also affects how we decide to move forward or not with our documents in progress. 17:24:37 eprodrom: I'm the coeditor but I don't think there's much of a need for me to step aside as chair 17:24:43 ... AS2 core and vocab went live as CR this morning 17:24:44 cwebber2` has joined #social 17:24:46 Congrats! 17:24:47 ... pretty exciting 17:24:49 congrats! 17:24:59 https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5780 17:25:19 ... We had agreed 2 weeks ago to push forward with the CR. Amy and sandro did a lot of work last week getting the document in shape for publication 17:25:23 sandro: entirely Amy 17:25:34 rhiaro++ 17:25:34 rhiaro has 235 karma (125 in this channel) 17:25:41 rhiaro++ thank you! 17:25:42 rhiaro has 236 karma (126 in this channel) 17:25:49 q+ 17:25:49 eprodrom: I guess my question is what happens next with AS2? 17:25:54 q? 17:26:18 sandro: basically we need to get out the word to anybody who might implement 17:26:23 ... tell them now is the time to start implementing 17:26:26 ... switch over from as1 to as2 17:26:31 ... help them with their testing 17:26:34 ... and gather results of testing 17:26:46 \o/ 17:26:54 ... then we can look at results, and hopefully go to rec. Or possibly do revisions which we don't really have time to do, but maybe some quick one 17:27:17 tantek: Sandro covered most of it. 3 basic things - outreach to developer community, now is the time to update implementations. this is ready fo rlive development and use 17:27:21 ... Please file issues asap 17:27:33 ... The second is substantitive issues are always likely to come up during CR so we need to address those 17:27:47 ... They may require normative substantive changes. Usually a good sign, means that developers are digging into the spec and finding things that none of us found 17:27:58 ... At som epoint we have to decide if we've handled all of those, and potentially do a second CR 17:28:26 ... Third thing is that we need to complete the test suite, or declare that we have, which I don't think we have, but basically say everything in the spec we have at est for and we need implementations to do those tests and fill out an implementation report 17:28:45 ... And then exiting CR is based on 3 things: 0 outstanding issues, have a test suite, and 2 or more implementations of everything in there 17:28:48 ... THat goes for the other CRs as well 17:28:53 ... This isn't anything special for as2 17:28:55 someone is causing a horrible echo 17:29:02 ... Still a lot of work to do 17:29:13 ... Where are we with th etest suite? 17:29:31 eprodrom: What we have for the test suite, two sides, one is the validator, which lets publishers check and see if what theyre publishing is valid as2 17:29:47 ... The other half of that is the document suite that consumers can use to verify that they're able to consume legal activitystreams 17:30:13 ... The consumer documents, you can run the consumer test suite through the validator and it all validates 17:30:26 ... THe question is do we have for test coverage in the consumer documents for all the aspects of the spec 17:30:37 ... that sounds like an excellent task for me to take on this week, to make sure that's the case 17:30:52 ... that we don't have any features that are called out in the document that are not explicitly testable with documents 17:30:58 ... I'm going to take that as an action for myself 17:31:36 tantek: when we reach the end of CR, we can evaluate the reports, if we have two or more implementations of every feature that's great, but if that's not the case we have multiple options at that point, including potentially dropping features 17:31:43 ... Which definitely means we need to do another CR 17:31:58 ... but that's a legitimate thing to say, we went to CR and nobody implemented it so we're going to drop it 17:32:07 ... that's a perfectly fine thing to be able to say, keeps specs tight and lean 17:32:31 ... It will merit discussion on the part of the working group, especially as our time dwindles, the chances of us exiting CR with this spec is greater if we drop features than wait for implementations, if it comes to that 17:32:49 q? 17:32:53 ack tantek 17:33:08 eprodrom: do we have more to talk about with as2? 17:33:42 TOPIC: micropub i18n issues 17:33:59 aaronpk: Quick question about this process 17:34:14 ... we know that we published as CR before addressing the issues from the i18n group 17:34:42 ... Some of those are now incorporated into the latest ED, some still need to be done, but I'm wondering what we need to do about this, are we planning on publishing a new CR with these changes? What's the timeline on that? What should we plan on? 17:34:58 ... This question is probably for sandro 17:35:33 ... We published before addressing i18n issues with the goal of doing that later. Should we do that sooner? 17:35:39 sandro: were we expecting those changes to be normative? 17:35:47 aaronpk: going to describe things like how to do unicode in strings and things like that 17:35:55 sandro: if I'm remembering correctly the hope was that that wouldn't be normative 17:36:01 ... as soon as possible we should figure out what the changes are. 17:36:15 tantek: I understand they are normative because they impact what implemenations SHOULD or MUST do 17:36:19 ... have to treat strings in th efollowing way 17:36:37 sandro: we should do them as soon as possible. If the question is whether to wait ... if we know exactly which changes, do we wait for other possible changes too before reissuing CR? 17:36:42 ... What's the deadline? 17:37:05 tantek: any other issues? 17:37:23 aaronpk: the only one that might be normative is the clarification about the reference to indieauth which chris opened 17:37:42 ... the way it was worded in the CR draft was that it's a normative reference, which we should have caught because we can't actually normatively reference it 17:38:02 ... I already updated the ED to say that implementations MAY use indieauth to get an access token, don't know if tha'ts normative though 17:38:07 ... I think it said SHOULD before 17:38:12 tantek: and thatw asn't raised in transition call? 17:38:14 aaronpk: yeah somehow we just missed it 17:38:36 ... Oh no I'm wrong, that change made it into CR draft 17:38:37 ... Never mind 17:38:42 oh ok 17:38:44 I can look at it 17:38:46 ... But I am waiting for chris to thumbs up that 17:38:50 https://github.com/w3c/Micropub/issues/47 17:38:57 aaronpk, looking now 17:39:06 https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/#authorization 17:39:07 [Aaron Parecki] Micropub 17:39:21 tantek: in response to do we wait for more issues. Micropub has been CR for 3 weeks or so. Have you received any new issues from implementors that are normative? 17:39:42 aaronpk: there's a handful of issues, cweiske took a look at it and is implelmenting a server. they look like clarifications. I don't think they're normative changes 17:39:45 aaronpk, looks good, I took the liberty of closing it :) 17:39:50 ... I defintiely need to incorporate those changes, but I don't think tehy're morative 17:39:54 s/morative/normative 17:39:57 tantek: refinements? 17:40:01 aaronpk: essentially yeah 17:40:17 ... one example is when you're making a json request the spec should require the content type header 17:40:23 ... you'd probably be doing that anyway but the spec iddn't say it 17:40:29 tantek: technically any changes like that are normative 17:40:37 ... I'm not sure how that impacts CR exactly 17:40:40 ... sandro? 17:40:57 ... where it's a refinement, not actually a change. Narrowing the space of what implementations can do 17:41:12 sandro: the way ralph would interpret it is whether there's need for particular people that would affect. If it would affect implementers, are they okay iwth it 17:41:26 tantek: if there are implementations that used to be conformant that would no longer be 17:41:42 ... can you take that as an action aaronpk? if any of those refinements would make existing implementations nonconformant? 17:41:49 ... I think sandro is saying that if not that would not impact our timeline 17:42:17 aaronpk: Okay. I suspect theres going to be some that I can just incoroprate and close without worrying about existing implementations. I think some will affect implementations. My homework for this week will be to categorise thsee issues 17:42:27 tantek: that kind of refinement could be turned into a test. WHich would influence implementations 17:43:06 ... And about AS2 as well, until we have a complete test suite for all the features, as you create tests you find that the spec wording is not entirely as you intended and so requires changes to its wording 17:43:38 ... I know evan is already on it, encourage to evaluate the completeness of the test suite for as2. For micropub as well, the sooner you're able to produce a complete test suite the greater the confidence that we as a group are able to epxress that every feature has been expressed ina test so is testable so is written properly 17:43:51 ... at least in CSS every time we've made a test suite we've found we've had to change the spec normatively 17:44:08 eprodrom: fair point 17:45:02 aaronpk: I noticed that as2 took the i18n and incoropriated the unicode rather than adding a new property. That made it through the draft and is in CR now 17:45:10 https://github.com/w3c/Micropub/issues/37 17:45:13 ... So I would like to essentially do the same thing with micropub to close issue 37 17:45:40 tantek: anyone object? 17:45:54 eprodrom: what you're saying aaronpk is that you want to do the bidi stuff in micropub the same as we did in as2? 17:45:57 aaronpk: Exactly? 17:46:37 PROPOSED: add language to micropub to use bidi control characters and thus close issue #37 17:46:53 aaronpk: that works 17:46:59 (consistent with AS2) 17:47:08 (consistent with AS2 CR) 17:47:30 might be good to add that specifically to the resolution to indicate the motivation / deliberate consistency in the group 17:47:39 +1 17:47:49 sandro: why does html not work for this? 17:47:55 aaronpk: you'r enot always posting html in micropub 17:47:57 ... could be plain text 17:48:02 +1 with that explicit note of motivation of consistency with AS2 CR 17:48:05 sandro: that are defined in the spec as being plain text? 17:48:07 aaronpk: yeah 17:48:20 +1 17:48:32 +1 17:48:48 eprodrom: please vote. if you feel like you don't u nderstand at this point and want to keep discussing, that's okay 17:48:51 ... don't feel rushed 17:48:57 +1 17:49:06 +1 17:49:07 +1 17:49:30 RESOLVED: add language to micropub to use bidi control characters and thus close issue #37 17:49:59 eprodrom: any more i18n issues on micropub we could discuss? 17:50:02 aaronpk: no that's it 17:50:14 eprodrom: anything more to discuss about micropub now? 17:50:14 aaronpk, when I look at https://github.com/w3c/Micropub/issues I see plenty of open issues 17:50:16 aaronpk: no 17:50:22 q+ re: CR consistency 17:50:30 q? 17:50:42 tantek, yes those are mostly feedback from cweiske that I mentioned earlier. I will be reviewing those and tagging any that need group feedback for next call 17:51:14 tantek: we should consider... if we are, and I think we should optimistically presume we have implementors implementing all of our CRs, we should have consistency with these kinds of details 17:51:28 ... this change to micropub which brings it closer into alignment with AS2 it maybe worth issuing as a new CR for that reason 17:51:38 ... so implementors reading them can see they're all designed to work in similar ways 17:51:52 ... So even though there are other issues we know aaron is still processing, this might justify a new CR as soon as that edit is made 17:52:02 sandro: I don't know whether we need director approval to do a second CR, I don't know offhand 17:52:08 tantek: I don't think we do 17:52:26 ... I think it extends the CR period by the minimum amount 17:52:45 ack tantek 17:52:45 tantek, you wanted to discuss CR consistency 17:53:02 ... I know it's a lot of work to produce a new version, but it may help implementors who are implementing multiple specs to get it right 17:53:29 eprodrom: aaronpk, what would that mean for you? 17:54:04 aaronpk: I do believe that finishing the test suite will probably lead to more changes in the spec, so I don't knwo if it's worth planning on publishing two new CRs or if I should wait until the test suite to publish a new CR 17:54:08 tantek: do you have a rough estimate? 17:54:32 ... if it's like a week or two then we can wait, but if it's like a month then it might be worth doing a CR now or in a week when you can incoroprate that issue 17:54:37 sandro: doing another CR is hard 17:54:51 ... because it requires a new call for exclusison to the AC and a new director approval 17:54:58 ... Maybe that can be done via email 17:55:01 https://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/#revised-cr 17:55:01 tantek: that sounds right 17:55:12 ... It doens't require an actual telecon, but does require director approval by email, that sounds right 17:55:30 ... When we explain what the difference is, that we're doing a new CR based on resovling horizongal review issues, the director should be very supportive in my opinion 17:55:42 sandro: and as you say it extends the deadline at least ? weeks 17:55:58 tantek: which if we're not done with the test suite we will need to do anyway 17:56:12 ... we're not going to be able to exit cr anyway until we're done with the test suite 17:56:14 s/?/4 17:56:14 s/?/4 17:56:41 ... so if you think aaronpk you can finish the test suite quickly 17:56:49 aaronpk: I suspect ti will be after the week after tpac 17:56:58 tantek: that seems sensible 17:57:10 ... you'll also get chance to meet with horizontal reviewers at tpac 17:57:21 ... another good reason to have CRs as close to what they have asked for as possible 17:57:37 ... You said it was hard sandro but I think we're able to handle that 17:57:39 sandro: yeah.. 17:57:53 tantek: and being responsive to horizontal review shows good faith behaviour on the hpart of the wg 17:58:01 sandro: I'm afraid we're running very low on a lot of resources 17:58:16 ... I think we can focus on implementation reports from here 17:58:33 eprodrom: any editors have updates to give? 17:58:48 q+ short :P 17:58:52 up to you aaronpk, if you think you can produce a CR draft for next week with i18n issues resolve and want to, go ahead 17:58:52 wait 17:58:55 yes 17:58:59 k 17:59:00 ack cwebber2 17:59:31 cwebber: No update on spec from last time, but implementation stuff I'm pressing very hard on and have most of the client to server stuff in place, and a separate client being developed 17:59:44 eprodrom: Closing, thanks everyone 17:59:52 ... back on regular schedule, we'll have a meeting next tuesday, tantek chairing 18:00:02 See you all then 18:00:08 rhiaro++ for minuting! 18:00:11 trackbot, end meeting 18:00:11 Zakim, list attendees 18:00:11 As of this point the attendees have been sandro, aaronpk, rhiaro, csarven, eprodrom, cwebber, KevinMarks, tantek 18:00:19 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 18:00:19 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2016/09/06-social-minutes.html trackbot 18:00:20 RRSAgent, bye 18:00:20 I see no action items
