We've been doing our own implementations, we have exit criteria, we are working on implementation report template. we just want attentive review by the group 17:16:37 ... this gives everyone a week and a half to review it before the TPAC 17:16:45 tantek: is the current ED ready for a new WD? 17:16:59 present+ 17:17:03 rhiaro: yes, there are a few editorial changes, but normative changes are frozen right now 17:17:22 ... i don't know thats necessary for CR, but if we need to do that, we can 17:17:46 tantek: its actually very necessary, one of the things for CR is getting wide-review, and this is our newest draft 17:18:02 rhiaro: we have some of that in the issues 17:18:21 tantek: ?? i only see 1 new issue by someone that i don't recognize 17:18:41 rhiaro: they aren't all opened by people outside the group, but there has been some discussion by others outside the group 17:19:28 tantek: i know that showing wide review can be the hardest part to show 17:19:39 https://linkedresearch.org/ldn/#change-log-Changes-from-24-August-2016-WD-to-this-version 17:19:50 ... i'd strongly suggest anoter WD to help with that, do you have a changes section? 17:19:56 rhiaro: link in IRC 17:20:07 PROPOSED: Publish new WD of LDN based on current ED 17:20:20 +1 (chair hat off on that) 17:20:24 +1 17:20:26 +1 17:20:26 +1 17:20:32 +1 17:20:46 +1 17:20:49 rhiaro: i should add that i'm going to reach out to the horizontal review wgs 17:20:55 +1 17:21:04 +1 17:21:08 +1 17:21:09 sandro: ben_thatmustbeme left you a message 20 minutes ago: meeding dial in info doesn't have a link anywhere, just going to an old link where it asks for meeting # just seems to keep loading the same page over and over after entereing the meeting number, doesn't even get to asking for a PW 17:21:20 RESOLVED: Publish new WD of LDN based on current ED 17:21:26 tantek: all +1s so lets declare this and move on 17:21:58 tantek: part of our job as chairs is to help the specs along, so i think this will help 17:22:53 ... i've tried to set expectations for F2F, did that make sense, any additional questions about that? the additional questions are going to be about implementations, implementations interop, implementations that are not from the editors 17:23:19 rhiaro: we'll be able to demonstrate some at TPAC, hopefully beyond the editors 17:23:26 tantek: do you have any at-risks? 17:23:44 rhiaro: we have 1 at-risk, we're hoping to add it to the namespace, but there is a w3c process to that 17:23:56 tantek: is that a specific features? 17:24:29 rhiaro: the namespace is set to ldp for the whole spec ??? 17:24:47 tantek: thats not really what at-risk means 17:25:19 sandro: this is fine, its a small part of it that might change between a small value change 17:25:33 tantek: thats not my understanding, but we should check the spec 17:25:47 (arguement over what people "BELIEVE") 17:26:01 tantek: so any features at-risk? 17:26:22 rhiaro: there aren't any features at risk no 17:26:55 (rhiaro i missed all that, can you put that in the minutes?) 17:27:14 The ActivityStreams2 media type support is at riks 17:27:17 s/riks/risk 17:27:47 tantek: any other questions about LDN from the group? 17:28:12 ... there is a strong suggestion to file any substantiative issues, which i want to underscore 17:28:27 tantek: moving on to activitypub 17:28:42 https://w3c-social.github.io/activitypub/ 17:29:01 ... it looks like chris and jessica. there is a request to please read the latest ED, and file any subs. issues before TPAC 17:29:09 ... would like to go to CR at TPAC 17:29:54 tantek: one question i'd like to ask, for several F2F meetings, we've discussed a pump.io federation implementation and wanted to know how long it would take to update the implementation to support the lastest spec 17:30:26 cwebber2: i'm not directly involved in pump.io other than answering quesitons. I have my own implementation 17:30:53 ... there are internal transitions going in the group, but i don't know if anyone has an plans to do that right now 17:31:13 tantek: i'm guessing mediagoblin was the version you demonstration before? 17:32:12 cwebber2: yes, previously it was mediagoblin using pump.io's spec, but now i plan to update mediagoblin to use AP 17:32:32 ... i've stepped away a little from mediagoblin, i have been working on my own other implementation 17:33:02 tantek: i think one of the things was to get mediagoblin up to date before going to CR 17:33:13 tantek: whats left on pubstraight? 17:33:27 s/pubstraight/pubstrate 17:33:28 s/pubstraight/pubstrate 17:33:28 cwebber2: i should be able to demonstrate it at TPAC 17:34:28 tantek: that kind of fresh prototype is good, and we look forward to that demo, but to set expectations, its a bit concerning that it isn't working with mediagoblin at the moment 17:34:50 cwebber2: i don't remember any discussion about that exactly 17:35:06 tantek: i believe there was a concern of having ANY implementations of it before going to CR 17:35:26 rhiaro: i don't remember anything about needing implementations before going to CR 17:35:46 q+ 17:35:55 q? 17:36:11 scribenick: aaronpk 17:36:11 ack ben_thatmustbeme 17:36:26 ben_thatmustbeme: i thought implementations from people outside of the editor was required for transitioning to CR 17:36:57 sandro: no implementation is required for transition *to* CR, but out of CR, it's very nice to have implementation experience. technically just the editor's is enough but it would be nice for other implementations as well 17:37:06 q+ 17:37:17 tantek: per w3c process today, there is no explicit requirement that there be implementations before CR 17:37:40 ... what we and others have been doing is adopting a convention of there being multiple implementations including by those outside the group in order to shake out substantive issues 17:38:01 ... i can cite other examples like CSS and webapps. the typical result is that when external implementations start it brings up issues that require additional CRs 17:38:04 I was looking at this https://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/#candidate-rec 17:38:30 ... so while it feels like you may have made progress by having a CR, you haven't actually made progress to exiting CR because you still have to close substatntive issues 17:38:36 i see, i misread that 17:38:41 sandro: that's not a decision this group has made, we didn't hit that bar for AS2 17:38:46 it says "how it will be demonstrated" 17:38:51 ... i don't think we have a list of implementations 17:39:05 tantek: we do, it's in the spec and we checked that as part of the transition call as well 17:39:49 cwebber2: there's no requirement to switch AS1 to AS2 implementations right? it feels very strange. i worked on having an implementation. but to be told that an existing thing must convert before exiting CR is strange. [cwebber is cutting out] 17:40:23 scribenick:ben_thatmustbeme 17:40:35 q+ 17:40:43 q? 17:40:46 ack rhiaro 17:40:54 tantek: we did discuess several times how we would figure out how to get implementation experience from as1 implementors 17:41:04 ack sandro 17:41:22 rhiaro: i wanted to say that i have implemented parts of AP as well so we can work on getitng those working together before TPAC 17:41:49 sandro: i still don't understand what you were saying about implementations of AS2, there is a link in the spec for implmentation reports and it goes to an empty web-page 17:42:02 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams#Implementations 17:42:12 tantek: maybe i was looking at the wrong link..... ahh i see the confusion. on our home page there is a link 17:42:19 https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/tree/master/implementation-reports 17:42:31 ... multiple of those are outside the group, where as the spec links to something else which is empty 17:42:57 ... i believe the entire time we were disucssing it in the group we were looking at the wiki page, not for implmeentation reports as we weren't at CR yet 17:43:26 ... if theres some way we can make that more discoverable from the spec or somewhere, i'll leave that to the editors 17:43:42 sandro: hopefully we'll get actual implmentation reports for it soon 17:43:46 q? 17:43:53 tantek: yes, thats the best way 17:44:17 tantek: cwebber2 i believe you asked the question about existing implmentations and thats what led us down this thread 17:44:19 Zakim, who is here? 17:44:19 Present: tantek, aaronpk, cwebber, csarven, ben_thatmustbeme, bengo, rhiaro, wilkie, akuckartz 17:44:22 On IRC I see RRSAgent, akuckartz, bengo, tantek, shepazu, KevinMarks, ElijahLynn, dwhly, Loqi, bitbear, pdurbin, bigbluehat, rrika, strugee, aaronpk, jet, cwebber2, wilkie, 17:44:22 ... csarven, ben_thatmustbeme, rhiaro, raucao, wseltzer, sandro, trackbot 17:44:48 q+ 17:44:52 ... i wish evan was here as i know we had that discussion with him. according to Zakim, bengo is on the call 17:44:54 ack cwebber2 17:44:58 ... bengo are you still there? 17:44:59 ack cwebber 17:45:07 I am on chat but not call 17:46:05 (couldn't access new webex page, reset w3 password, takes awhile to propogate) 17:46:58 cwebber2: i'm just going to speak clearly how i feel about this. after the call last week, i have dropped everything on the floor to do what i needed to get this to CR. I never understood that updating an existing implementation to this before CR. I feel like i've done everything i possibly could do to get this to CR and i feel like i'm being blocked now. It doesn't sound like this is a standard process thing, it should have been made clear to 17:46:58 me much earlier 17:47:11 (cwebber2, is that a good minuting of that?) 17:48:13 tantek: as I understood it was that there was work on converting it activity pub was what you were working on. And if there is no implmenetation..... 17:48:18 q+ 17:48:28 q? 17:48:30 ack aaronpk 17:48:31 cwebber2: i'm talking about the UPDATING and existing implmenetation 17:48:37 ... that was not expressed clearly 17:49:45 aaronpk: as someone relatively outside of this spec, i don't remember which state (before CR after,etc) i remember seeing several times discussion of "its coming" and i thought there was work on AS2 in mediagoblin 17:51:25 cwebber2: we have been working on switching to as2 from as1, but our focus was on pump.io api. everything we have been doing has been informed by our work on pump.io 17:51:54 cwebber2: i was not clear on the expectation that mediagoblin neede to implement activitypub before CR 17:52:41 tantek: i'm not saying that its a blockade, its just surprising for those of us that had that understanding. there isn't a requirement for that in the process, but that was our understanding of how it was working. 17:53:01 ... just because there was that expetation and surprise, it does not mean that its blocking you 17:53:01 q? 17:53:37 cwebber2: part of the reasons i implementation with pubstrate. I wanted to do it wihout too much mediagoblin influence 17:54:04 ... that way it was completely seperate, and it didn't have too much bias. does that make sense? 17:55:08 tantek: Yes, very much, and i commend you on that incitefulness on doing that. i think aaronpk has written and thrown away micropub implementations just like that. i think we should just look at what parts are implemented and what are not. 17:55:30 s/incitefulness/insightfulness 17:55:41 cwebber2: i certainly see a reason to hold off on CR as i have not started a test suite, and i haven't set up implementation reports, etc 17:55:57 tantek: there isn't a requirement for a test suite, we just ask a plan on how a test suite will be done 17:56:17 tantek: we do need your assessment of what features you would consider at risk 17:56:58 cwebber2: i think the biggest challenge with AP is that the autorization section is going to be a little more vague, changing tokens, etc 17:57:23 ... there was an earlier ticket about moving to a new section that is intentionally vague 17:57:41 ... other things i'm pretty confident on, but i could do a more thorough review for sure 17:58:06 tantek: one option i would suggest, which is "if there are less than 2 implementations of a specific feature, than it should be at-risk" 17:58:39 ... if you have any feature that you don't both implement and preferrably interoperate with 17:59:12 q? 17:59:17 ... you might want to talk with aaronpk, about how to write out the auth / tokens issue 17:59:46 tantek: i really appreciate your working with us, there are a lot of first time editors in this group so its really great the work you have done 18:00:11 yes, a new WD would be good 18:00:16 there's a changelog 18:00:26 tantek: just as we asked for LDN, are there changes you want to republish as a WD 18:00:35 ... can we get a link to the changelog? 18:00:43 https://w3c-social.github.io/activitypub/#change-log 18:01:07 tantek: we are going to go a few minutes over if there are no objections 18:01:09 sounds good 18:01:24 PROPOSED: Publish new WD of Activitypub based on editor's draft https://w3c-social.github.io/activitypub/ 18:01:29 +1 18:01:29 +1 18:01:30 +1 18:01:50 +1 18:01:59 Arnaud has joined #social 18:02:01 +1 18:02:03 tantek: i see a bunch of changes here which is certainly worthy of publishing a new WD 18:02:04 +1 18:02:21 RESOLVED: Publish new WD of Activitypub based on editor's draft https://w3c-social.github.io/activitypub/ 18:02:32 can do 18:02:42 that should be possible today 18:02:42 tantek: if there is some way you can get that out before TPAC, that would be great 18:03:03 tantek: anyone that want to provide any other update? 18:04:11 aaronpk: i can give a quick update. on micropub i have 2 issues i'm waiting for commenter to reply on those, some may require some discussion. webmention hasn't had much changes, mostly editorial that i haven't had time to make yet 18:04:22 http://micropub.net/draft/#changes-from-16-august-2016-cr-to-this-version 18:04:29 [Aaron Parecki] Micropub 18:04:38 aaronpk: i have enough changes on micropub that its worth people to review the changes since the last 18:04:51 tantek: can you add that to the required reading section for F2F? 18:05:19 tantek: how are we with test-suite completeness (to all our implementors) 18:05:31 s/implementors/editors 18:05:45 tantek: do we have a test for every feature? 18:05:51 aaronpk: not yet 18:05:59 q? 18:06:25 tantek: for others going to CR, thats going to be the next thing is looking for, test coverage, and implementation reports 18:06:34 sandro: i think we should spend a minute talking about TPAC 18:07:09 sandro: how do we pitch a session on it. I think a title for open discussion would be "Decentralized Web" 18:07:35 ... some sort of framework for it would be good, if tim gave a keynote for it, it would be good 18:07:53 tantek: i don't know the content of the talk, if you can find it out 18:08:04 s/decentralized web/decentralized social web 18:08:56 sandro: i think "decentralized web" is too generic and not a great title 18:09:07 tantek: certainly that would cover things outside our title 18:09:12 s/title/charter 18:09:31 sandro: i think of this as maybe setting the stage for what the next WG would be, not the status of this group as much 18:09:47 tantek: i think that if we are able to show demos to those outside the WG, that would be good 18:09:59 I can probably do one 18:10:03 sandro: who would be up for giving a demo? aaronpkis always good for that right? 18:10:04 o/ 18:10:06 Indeed, and decentralized web has an existing group 18:10:10 aaronpk: yeah i can do that 18:10:24 tantek: i think this group has been pretty good about having demos too 18:10:29 \o 18:10:35 rhiaro: i can demo too 18:10:44 I can join in remote demos 18:10:44 csarven: as can i (via emoji) 18:10:49 some sort of primitive text emoji 18:11:17 sandro: i'll update the wiki page and say we will have demos and what people might want to do in the future 18:11:38 emoji++ 18:11:38 emoji has 0 karma (1 in this channel) 18:11:48 Do we need to parse emoticons as well as emoji now? 18:12:21 tantek: i think if we can demonstrate a positive example of evolving multiple approaches, which is something that is uncommon in the w3c, so if you can keep that in mind in your demos 18:12:24 "Decentralized Social Web, Discussions and Demo Session" 18:12:50 q? 18:12:52 https://indieweb.org/reacji 18:12:56 I can do one that incorporates AS2, LDN, Web Annotations, Solid 18:13:31 tantek: if no other business 18:13:40 q? 18:13:49 tantek: thank you everyone 18:13:56 ... see at least some of you next week 18:14:10 ben_thatmustbeme++ 18:14:10 ben_thatmustbeme has 168 karma (54 in this channel) 18:14:14 I'll be in portland hopefully with the free time to be remote 18:14:21 ben_thatmustbeme++ 18:14:21 ben_thatmustbeme has 169 karma (55 in this channel) 18:14:24 cwebber2++ 18:14:24 cwebber2 has 71 karma 18:14:41 ben_thatmustbeme++ thank you for minuting 18:14:41 slow down! 18:16:55 ben_thatmustbeme++ thank you for minuting 18:16:55 ben_thatmustbeme has 170 karma (56 in this channel) 18:18:20 sandro: FYI, "Social Web" breakout session from TPAC 2015 https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2015/SessionIdeas#Social_Web (minutes, wiki, photo) 18:19:32 thanks 18:21:27 trackbot end meeting 18:21:27 Zakim, list attendees 18:21:27 As of this point the attendees have been tantek, aaronpk, cwebber, csarven, ben_thatmustbeme, bengo, rhiaro, wilkie, akuckartz 18:21:35 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 18:21:35 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2016/09/13-social-minutes.html trackbot 18:21:36 RRSAgent, bye 18:21:36 I see no action items
