i don't know of any rules for CGs, but its somewhat short notice 15:13:47 KevinMarks_ has joined #social 15:14:00 cwebber: yes, its pretty short notice, but its been scheduled now 15:14:15 tantek: well its okay if its only a few people, just want to set expectations 15:14:27 cwebber: yes, its ok if its a smaller number of people there 15:14:41 tantek: what are you using for audio calls? 15:14:57 cwebber: its on mumble, it has clients on just about everything 15:15:11 ... i've had pretty good success with it just working (tm) 15:15:35 ... it also works well for people internationally well 15:16:00 https://www.w3.org/community/swicg/ 15:16:06 eprodrom: also for anyone who hasn't signed up for the CG, please do 15:16:07 q? 15:16:09 ack sandro 15:16:32 sandro: is there any way to reach the members of the CG to let them know about the meeting? 15:16:57 cwebber: the current method i'm using is to post to all the social web type things 15:17:04 Send them webmentions? 15:17:23 ... we don't have an email list, i don't have strong opinions on this, which is why it got email removed 15:18:06 cwebber: personally i don't have any objections to email 15:18:31 tantek: there was discussion of possibly even using github issues for meeting scheduling 15:18:53 cwebber: sounds like a good this to discuss in the first meeting 15:19:06 tantek: aaronpk actually POSSE's from his site to email 15:19:11 eprodrom: am i muted? 15:19:25 eprodrom: sounds like we have a plan for this friday, glad that that is happening 15:19:40 TOPIC: PR status updates 15:20:17 sandro: LDN came out and AS2 still needs another week or so, i don't think there is anything to say about it right now 15:20:25 go amy! 15:20:42 sandro: for people who don't know amy turned in her doctoral thesis and is on retreat 15:21:19 eprodrom: that leaves next steps for the other PRs, as far as AS2 is concerned we haven't had other issues come in... actually we have 2 new ones from the group 15:21:37 ... they look like they are just editorial, which i will review 15:21:44 ... do we have any for the other PRs? 15:22:16 cwebber: there are a couple of example issues i found that are very small, nothing that should be normative, planning on sending a PR this week (for AS vocab doc) 15:22:27 awesome 15:23:14 sandro: talk to your AC reps to get some more feedback on these specs 15:23:44 ... specifically for activity streams which has a deadline in the next week or so 15:23:49 https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/socialweb/ Deadline May 11 15:24:05 TOPIC: our CRs 15:24:18 TOPIC: PR status updates 15:24:41 tantek: since aaronpk isn't here, there are a few micropub issues that came up, please take a look at them to help process them 15:25:04 tantek: oh there is a new implementation for micropub as well 15:25:31 tantek: micro.blog has taken micropub as their client connection API 15:26:03 ... so their client will work for any micropub servers, and existing micropub clients will work for them 15:26:22 ... also micro.blog is not a w3c member, just a kickstarter project 15:27:32 ben_thatmustbeme: i opened issues on various issue trackers, to request support for it too 15:29:44 eprodrom_ has joined #social 15:31:56 TOPIC: current CR updates 15:32:01 Here's the W3C Member Confidential link to one negative comment on MicroPub: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-archive/2017Apr/0338.html 15:32:29 (Oh, wait, that's incomplete.) 15:32:38 eprodrom_: is there anything we can talk about on websub without aaronpk or julien here? 15:32:54 tantek: i was hoping to get a websub test suite update today 15:33:11 eprodrom_: i think aaronpk said a 2 week schedule for it made sense 15:33:17 tantek: and i see 3 open issues 15:33:39 eprodrom_: on to AP 15:33:41 https://github.com/w3c/websub/issues/ 15:34:06 cwebber: we have seen some implementation work from mastodon and ?? 15:34:52 ... in terms of a test suite, i have some working code, and i have discussed with eprodrom_ and its a bit too prompty, and its going to be some work to simplify it 15:35:02 https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#changes-11-april-to-2-may 15:35:10 ... things are not there yet, but there is progress 15:35:27 ... we had a CR scheduled for today, put the link to changes 15:35:34 ... in irc 15:35:52 ... mainly a new CR because there have been a lot of changes 15:35:56 https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/219 15:35:57 [cwebber] #219 Make adding to outbox collection on client to server section a MUST? 15:36:08 ... but before issuing another CR, we may want to talk about a few of these issues 15:36:27 ... for 219 its a question of it should be a MUST to post ... 15:36:38 q+ 15:36:53 ... i'm not completely convinced if those are reason enough 15:37:34 eprodrom_: couple of tricky bits here, one is access control, if i publish something that is only visible to certain people, what does it mean to publish it to that outbox collection 15:37:51 ... do they have different views of the 15:38:11 cwebber: we already have working about filtering the outbox based on ACLs 15:38:29 eprodrom_: the only other issue i could see is with third party confirmation 15:38:51 ... like a captca, or a confirmation you were tagged 15:39:00 eprodrom_: a SHOULD would likely be fine 15:39:13 sandro: what happens if someone violates the should? 15:39:34 ... does it break implementations? 15:39:58 cwebber: it wouldn't break federation but it just wouldn't federate 15:40:04 sandro: isn't that broken? 15:40:18 eprodrom_: its like if something gets posted to the server but doesn't get posted publicly 15:40:34 tantek: do we know of a specific use-case for that? 15:40:40 q+ 15:40:58 sandro: the reason for should would allow for flexibility for other things? 15:41:09 cwebber: another example would be for transient messages 15:41:16 q- 15:41:41 eprodrom_: a common case is uploading files for processing, like video files get transcoded on the server, they may not appear immediately 15:41:52 I like SHOULD, given this need for flexibility 15:41:53 q- 15:42:12 eprodrom_: we can't think of it as a bad thing if it did happen 15:42:27 q? 15:42:29 tantek: whenever you change a should to a must makes it more fragile 15:43:03 ... its best to start with MUST and drop to a SHOULD only if it breaks for someone 15:43:26 ... only go SHOULD if there is a specific use-case 15:43:53 cwebber: there is one case where it would break, which is transient activiites, which we have mentioned in other places in the spec 15:44:17 cwebber: rather we permit it, like for game activities that stick around 15:44:29 ... but we don't have really clear examples of it happening 15:44:54 sandro: you can say its a MUST except for transient activities or other things that might come along 15:45:34 eprodrom_: it doesn't actually have a time constraint, if its delayed some amount of time, thats fine 15:45:48 > The server MUST then add this new Activity to the outbox collection, unless there is a specific reason that this object will never appear in the outbox, such as the object being transient or be used for side effects only. 15:45:56 ... even transient activiites can appear and then disappear, there is not requirement that they stay there 15:46:08 tantek: i like that interpretation 15:46:26 q+ 15:46:33 eprodrom_: i think thats a common understanding of what a feed is, things don't get added right away, things change, things get removed without warning 15:46:49 PROPOSED: close issue https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/219 with proposed text including "MUST" 15:46:50 [cwebber] #219 Make adding to outbox collection on client to server section a MUST? 15:46:54 +1 15:47:01 ben_thatmustbeme: thanks 15:47:18 ack ajordan 15:47:51 ajordan: is the proposed text we are dissing the one cwebber just posted to IRC? 15:47:52 +1 15:48:06 cwebber: no, thats a more expanded version 15:48:17 ajordan:so we are discussing the one on github? 15:48:20 cwebber: yes 15:48:27 ajordan: can we add a note to that effect? 15:48:33 +1 15:48:52 ... as an implementor i wouldn't see that as obvious 15:49:11 PROPOSED: close issue https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/219 with proposed text including "MUST" with explanatory note for exceptions 15:49:12 [cwebber] #219 Make adding to outbox collection on client to server section a MUST? 15:49:34 +1 not sure this needs a proposal any more, just resolve and adding note is up to editor discression 15:49:44 +1 15:50:01 +1 15:51:04 eprodrom: i think the concern is a client that posts a note and then immediately reads the outbox and expects it to be there 15:51:18 +1 15:51:18 ... we should explain that there are several reasons why it might not be there 15:51:40 tantek: in the interest of interop, i'm in favor of fewer caveats 15:51:48 +1 15:51:55 +1 15:52:06 RESOLVED: close issue https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/219 with proposed text including "MUST" with explanatory note for exceptions 15:52:06 [cwebber] #219 Make adding to outbox collection on client to server section a MUST? 15:52:22 technically caveats not exceptions but ok 15:52:45 (something appears briefly still apears, or something that appears later still appears, in the outbox) 15:53:24 sandro: we might want to talk about posibilities of extending the group 15:53:52 cwebber: i can wrap up AP quick i think 15:53:53 https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/202 15:53:54 [mray] #202 SVG version tutorial Illustrations 15:54:28 ... i wanted to make sure before we approve the CR, we are okay with these images added 15:54:36 https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/196 15:54:36 [annando] #196 How to differentiate between posts and private (direct) messages? 15:55:16 q? 15:55:20 ... the other issue is this is too complex to discuss, this whole thing as flagging things as direct messages, if we do the CR now, this will come up again 15:55:25 https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#changes-11-april-to-2-may 15:55:31 and 219? 15:55:33 q+ 15:55:46 q? 15:55:55 ack ben_thatmustbeme 15:56:36 ben_thatmustbeme: if there are possibly normative changes, should we wait on CR? 15:56:40 with the set of changes in https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#changes-11-april-to-2-may I think we should do a CR today 15:56:53 cwebber: what do you think sandro? can we wait? 15:57:04 sandro: it can wait another week 15:57:25 tantek: its not clear that we will have a solution next week either 15:57:52 ben_thatmustbeme: i'm not saying we shouldn't do a CR, just asking that 15:58:10 PROPOSED: new CR for ActivityPub with changes https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#changes-11-april-to-2-may and changes to issue 219 and vector graphics 15:58:11 +1 15:58:12 +1 15:58:15 +1 15:58:16 +1 15:58:26 +1 15:58:26 +1 15:58:43 RESOLVED: new CR for ActivityPub with changes https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#changes-11-april-to-2-may and changes to issue 219 and vector graphics 15:59:00 https://github.com/w3c/websub/issues/97 15:59:00 [aaronpk] #97 Discussion for Host-Meta feature At Risk 15:59:38 tantek: websub, aaronpk looked for implementations that publish it and or depend on it, its sort of a last call for implementations of it 15:59:51 and his plan is to not implement a test for it 16:00:04 ... otherwise its assumed this at-risk feature is getting killed 16:00:13 TOPIC: extending the WG? 16:00:33 eprodrom: tantek, sandro, and I have been talking about if its possible for extending this group 16:00:48 q? 16:00:54 q+ 16:00:58 ... there has been some push for activity streams, there has been a lot of interest with mastodon, and lots of implementation work 16:01:04 ack tantek 16:01:06 geppy has joined #social 16:01:08 ... i'd like to discuss this next week 16:01:29 tantek: i agree the last month has shown tremendous implementation update in all of our specs 16:02:11 ... from the mastodon phenomenon, to micro.blog, to LDN getting funding for impelmentations, i think we can make a case for that to recharter, we just have to figure out what that means 16:02:22 s/funding for/more 16:02:26 Thanks all 16:02:32 eprodrom: thanks everyone for your time 16:02:40 ben_thatmustbeme++ for scribing 16:02:40 ben_thatmustbeme has 68 karma in this channel (208 overall) 16:02:49 ben_thatmustbeme++ 16:02:49 ben_thatmustbeme has 69 karma in this channel (209 overall) 16:02:53 thank you! 16:03:31 trackbot end meeting 16:03:31 Zakim, list attendees 16:03:31 As of this point the attendees have been cwebber, eprodrom, KevinMarks, sandro, ajordan, tantek, ben_thatmustbeme 16:03:39 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 16:03:39 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2017/05/02-social-minutes.html trackbot 16:03:40 RRSAgent, bye 16:03:40 I see no action items
