tantek: we discussed having
telecons every other week. what are peoples' feelings? What
works for august?
... Telecon next week?
<rhiaro> Unclear if I can make it next week

to me we don't need one
... but if someone wants one we can do that
... anyone?
... unless something comes up or this meeting runs over, we

tantek: August 1 opinions?
<ben_thatmustbeme> i will be regrets for the 25th actually, but thats ok
sandro: at risk, schedule wise
tantek: -0, less convenient
<ajordan> +1
sandro: compared to the 8th?
tantek: I'm on vacation
<rhiaro> Should we find out if evan can chair on the 8th?
<ben_thatmustbeme> 8th is fine for me
tantek: 15th?
<sandro> For me 1=maybe, 8=good, 15=maybe, 22=bad, 29=maybe
<tantek> for me 1=maybe, 8=bad, 15=good, 22=bad, 29=good
<cwebber2> i'm good for all days afaik
sandro: doodle, we don't have to decide today
tantek: rough agreement for people here
<aaronpk> august is pretty open for me
<ajordan> I'm good for all days except the 22nd(?)
<rhiaro> probably all fine for me, maybe1st and 8th at risk
<ajordan> oh and the 15th
actually no 1st is fine
<ben_thatmustbeme> i'm good for whenever in august
<rhiaro> Can we assume people who didn't express opinions are fine for all?
<ajordan> clarification: bad the 15th
sandro: sounds like we should do the 1st as well
tantek: I wouldn't want to chair
on that date
... So contingent evan can chair?
... and then 15th and 29th?
<ben_thatmustbeme> +1
<cwebber2> +1
sandro: Cancelling 22nd and 8th
<ajordan> I don't know what my day-to-day schedule will look like on the 29th
<ajordan> I think I'll have started classes then
<sandro> CANCELING July 18, ug 8, Aug 22
<tantek> for sure: 7/25, 8/15, 8/29. 8/1 contingent on Evan chairing
cwebber2: implementation report
from puckipedia, who has implemented nearly everything if not
everything
... a bunch of PRs from aj that I haven't gone through
yet
... Test suite.. I've done all client to server tests, execept
Block requires that I implement federation in the test
suite
... because there's no meaningful test of the block activity
unless you are actually federating
... so thats' where I stopped. When that's done, client to
server test suite will be done
... And got a bunch of issues to go through today
sandro: did puckipedia use your test suite?
cwebber2: they gave me access to
their server and I haven't run it against the test suite yet,
but we talked about it. I tested with my client
... Plan on doing that over the next week and a half
... As soon as I put the test suite up publicly that's that
I'll do
sandro: When other people use the test suite that helps us get feedback on whether it's working
tantek: Anyone able to play with the test suite, or right now it's just in a place where only you can run stuff against it
cwebber2: I can expose it but haven't because I've been working on it
tantek: On ething I remember from
webmention and micropub test suite development was that even
while in development was having the tests incrementally added
publicly helped people find problems in their implementations
and in the test suite sooner rather than later
... Woud highly advise doing the same
... Even an incomplete test suite is is better than none
... even if it's not testing the right things
cwebber2: By the next call in two weeks I will have it exposed and tested against puckipedia
sandro: you can say no.. but..
would you be willing to commit to definitely releasing it
before the next meeting, whatever state it is in
... to get over the hurdle of the release
cwebber2: I can do teh thing
where I'm proxying to my home machine and people can see my
tests locally
... I will have it up and demonstrate it to the group by next
call
sandro: If you need a server I think I can give that out
cwebber2: I have a server..
that's not the issue
... Issues?
ajordan: Questiona bout the Block
thing
... Why you can only meaningfully test it if it's
federated?
... Seems like you should be able to test someone on a local
instance?
cwebber2: It would require that I
have users put in two accounts rather than one, and I'm going
to need to put in support so I can .. I would have to have
people enter in two accounts even though that's not normally
really necessary. Feels like a lot of extra input
... Going to need to put the federation support up anyway
... It would be extra/other work to add support for that
... I need add federation anyway.. I don't think it would be a
lot less work to do it that way and would be more irritating
for the user of the test suite
... Figured I might as well just get this in
ajordan: that makes sense
tantek: Anyone else have test suite questions?
<rhiaro> I have some stuff to run, needs some fixing up
<rhiaro> (clients)
tantek: I would encourage
everyone to implement some other pieces to implement and run
against the test suite
... Most normative issue first
<cwebber2> https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/239
<Loqi> [puckipedia] #239 mediaUpload: only post to outbox if it's a Create activity?
cwebber2: This is a suggestion
from puckipedia. Saying well they would like to attach multiple
images to a post
... attach multiple media items to one object, like how twitter
has multiple images
... So the idea is if you upload a video it uploads to the
media endpoint it doesn't post to your outbox right away, so
youc an attach them as attachment to posts later
... I thought this was a good way to do it
... I want to incorporate this, but wanted opinions
sandro: any problem with me uploading a few tens of thousnads of photos and never putting any of them in a stream?
cwebber2: Could be an issue that
I imagine.. one thing tha toriginally I thought you could get
around.. but I know that this would also be working with the
way twitter and micropub does things
... youd' have to garbage collect if you were concerned about
that
sandro: you could garbage collect if something hasnt' been referenced by a post for some period of time
<ben_thatmustbeme> that is what twitter does as well
cwebber2: pump.io does that
tantek: and micrpub
cwebber2: are people fine with this?
tantek: normative change?
cwebber2: Specific condition
about whether or not something is wrapped in ..??
... Whether or not somethig is wrapped ina create is whether or
not it is posted to the outbox
... if it's not wrapped in a create, it indicates it's meant to
be attached to another object
... if it is, it's a full fledged post
sandro: that seems like a bad
thing to use an implicit action
... making everything as explicit as possible usually plays
well
cwebber2: the alternate that
tsyesika suggested is that ??
... Two other routes are you can have a multipart form ???
outbox or maybe you could have one post with multiple file
fields and refernecing that in the current object some way. The
latter is trickier
... The alternates are to have the multipart form that has a
boolean field that says whether it's going to the outbox. Or to
allow it to be all in one go and upload multiple file objects
in one post but then you'd reference them some way inside the
activitystream object, but trickier to slot in temporary
names
<sandro> I like Boolean, but lets hear from q
<ben_thatmustbeme> i can scribe
<ben_thatmustbeme> scribenick: ben_thatmustbeme
rhiaro: not providing a solution,
but how i do things right now, i upload images seperately, and
i have a client that lets me choose the images i already have
on the server and that creates the create object
... i don't have a media-endpoint, but if i did, i would have
it create the 'create' object
<tantek> https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/239
<Loqi> [puckipedia] #239 mediaUpload: only post to outbox if it's a Create activity?
cwebber2: i'm not completely sure how you would add to a note object
rhiaro: yeah, i reference the url in the body
<rhiaro> scribenick: rhiaro
ben_thatmustbeme: I was wondering
more, rather than break anything for anyone, could you just do
the micropub route of having a separate endpoint and what the
problem would be there?
... you can use the attachment for a single item, and if you
want multiple you upload them to the media endpoint first and
then you add them
... and then could it be exactly the same as micropub and we
only have to implement it once?
cwebber2: Unlike micropub, you
give the shell activity. The uploading process, especially for
video, might be adding extra data attached to the object. In
micropub I think that's not the case
... We could do it where it's exactly like micropub. Part of
the motivation here was that you were explicitly making .. I
don't know, a certain amount of going back on the issue to the
drawing board. I feel like we need a clean description of how
this would be done in this issue, and we need to thrash this
out on the issue cos it's pretty different
aaronpk: I just want to clarify some of the goals around mediaendpoint in general
<ajordan> aaronpk: this is micropub's mediaendpoint?
aaronpk: THe idea is that it is just for the file itself, which is potentially very large and the rason it is separate is because of things like retrying failures, pausing and resuming, and to get the file up to the server so that it can be used in a post in the future
<sandro> https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/media/
aaronpk: With micropub we looked
at the twitter api, and saw the separate endpoint and based it
off that design
... twitter also have a chunked media endpoint where you can
upload files in parts, which lets you do very large files in
small pieces, which is way better for the client
... We could extend the micropub media endpoint to use the
chunking idea
... What I'm getting at is that there's value in completely
separating the file handling from the rest of the data
... I think AP woudl benefit from that as well
<sandro> +1 binary attachments going to a separate endpoint
aaronpk: I think handling media in a media specific way would benefit it
<ben_thatmustbeme> twitter has a media-metadata endpoint too i think doesn't it?
cwebber2: I'm open to reapproaching this, but doing so would mean we're going to have to take some time to work through what that would look like
<aaronpk> ben_thatmustbeme, i think so, and in activitypub that would be done in an activitypub-specific way
cwebber2: One case where this would be tricky - you upload a half a terabyte video file, and you need to give it a title etc
<aaronpk> twitter api docs: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/media/uploading-media
cwebber2: You're not actually
just attaching a single URL to the thing that's uploaded,
youre' attaching 4 urls that get extracted and several bits of
metadata extracted from the video itself
... three different transcoded versions
... that's where it gets tricky
... I would like to see how that case where you have somehting
that gets split up to multiple resolutiosn of the same file,
and each of their metadata, incorporated into an object that
you upload later
<ben_thatmustbeme> i think twitter does that as well, multiple version after upload
aaronpk: Worth looking at how
twitter and flickr and places that handle transcoding do
it
... twitter transcodes gifs to mp4s
cwebber2: do they have a single canonical file that exists? or youtube style where there's multiple outputs with their own individual metadata
aaronpk: I haven't looked at that in enough detail to know
cwebber2: that's the quesiton because that's the motivation for having this shell object for the metadata
aaronpk: in any case, I think you can do that with AP, creating a shell/meta object, and still handle binary uploads separately
cwebber2: would require two
separate uris at that point.. even if you're posting it to your
outbox, you need some way of indicating that this ojbect needs
to be completed in some way by this previous media that I
uploaded
... One thing I liked about the design puckipedia suggested is
that it permitted having multiple uploads of different objects
is that it had ac lear way of having multiple attachments for
even something as complicated as what we just discussed, which
I'm not seeing in these other designs
... If anyone has clear thoughts on how this alternate route
would work I'd like to look at it
... I'm hearing that there are reasons to have an endpoint just
for files, that's potentially fine, if it can do the things we
need. It doesn't seem like we have all the answers to show that
it can yet.
sandro: Multimedia resource
management is an orthogonal service and all the transcoding and
multiple representations and potentially metadata and sometimes
metadata about only a particular representation.. all of those
are issues that have been around for a while, not necessarily a
clean solution, but largely orthogonal to social
networking
... So to the extent that we can treat that as an orthogonal
problem.. maybe there's nothing off the shelf, but somehow
tryign to keep them separate and separate extensibility points
and all that seems like a good idea
tantek: Chris, how many more issues?
cwebber2: 2
<cwebber2> https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/236
<Loqi> [strugee] #236 Perhaps move Likes/Shares Collection to an AS2 extension
cwebber2: This was raised by
strugee at the end of last weekend
... We agreed that vocab extensions are unrelated to the
protocol and shouldn't be handled by the protocol
... So why not move likes/shares collections out of the
spec?
<ajordan> since I'm having a bit of trouble keeping them straight
cwebber2: The reason why I don't want to do that is that they are referenced by the protocol
<cwebber2> https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#like-activity-inbox
cwebber2: the like activity here
in the server-to-server specifically says you increment the
likes collection counter as a side effect
... so it's relevant to the protocol and thus we shouldn't
remove it
<rhiaro> +1 what chris said
<ben_thatmustbeme> speaker died again?
tantek: if we accept your proposal chris, the outcome is no change?
cwebber2: right
tantek: unless there are objections to that I'd like to move forward with that. if there's new information we can reopen the issue
ajordan: my point is on the issue
<ben_thatmustbeme> i was going to say that, the idea is the LIkes and Shares are useful outside of AP
<ben_thatmustbeme> which was sort of the reasoning to moving it out of the spec
<rhiaro> ben, there's no reason nodoby else can use them just because they're in AP...
cwebber2: my point is that if you take this resolution you're saying it's within scope because its part of the protocol
tantek: I can see it argued either way, looking forward to seeing comments on the issue
ben_thatmustbeme: likes and shares are useful outside of AP, which was the point of moving it to an extension

tantek: let's discuss this written down on the issue
<ben_thatmustbeme> async++
<Loqi> async has 2 karma in this channel (3 overall)
aaronpk: Two new implementationr eports this week. One is from a system that implements all thre epieces. One is from a hub
<ajordan> \o/ whoooo!
aaronpk: the other news is that I can't merge the PR because I no longer have write access to the repository..
tantek: do we have 2 of each publisher, hub and subscriber?
aaronpk: we do now
sandro: any comments or feedback or issues?
aaronpk: they just went through the test suite and checked off the ones that they supported. I don't see any specific notes in here
sandro: are these new?
aaronpk: One I recognise from a
couple of years ago
... the other one I haven't seen before
tantek: good.. we should start
discussing PR transition at some point
... that takes a little while anyway
aaronpk: I still have to correlate the individual features
tantek: coverage is important
sandro: do we have implementation reports from any of the ostatus type folks? GNU Social or Mastodon?
aaronpk: does not look like it
sandro: that would be nice.. we should make some effort there
tantek: aaron, could you reach
out to the implementations that sandro mentioned and ask for an
implementation report?
... Or at the CG
... They're outside the WG?
aaronpk: correct
tantek: we need a summary for the PR transition
sandro: there was that private email..
tantek: I wasn't going to bring that up
sandro: I'd like to wait for them
tantek: we can ping them again and say we're about to transition and ask for ETA
sandro: I'll do that
ben_thatmustbeme: there is a
validator up and some sample test files that need
expanding
... I have feedback on potential implementations, but no
template yet. Not sure what that will look like
... I know AS2 went through all the vocabulary, but jf2 doesn't
use its own vocab it uses microformats
... I could list the stable microformats
... But i'm not quite sure if that's really enough of a
report
... or exactly what that should look like
tantek: if you can show multiple implementations doing the same thing, demonstrating interop for publishing and consuming, think about that as the objective of the reports
<ben_thatmustbeme> jf2.rocks for the validator
<ajordan> I can extend
<tsyesika> I have to go also, but folks can continue
<ben_thatmustbeme> i'm okay
ajordan: does this mean we should schedule for next week?
tantek: potentially
<cwebber2> I'm fine with a meeting next week
<ajordan> +1
tantek: Meet next week??
<ben_thatmustbeme> +1
<cwebber2> +1
<rhiaro> +0 not sure if I'll make it
<cwebber2> my promise to have the test suite up "by next meeting" applies to the 25th though :)
tantek: telecon next week, hoepfully evan can chair
<ben_thatmustbeme> ajordan++
<Loqi> ajordan has 12 karma
<ajordan> :-)
ben_thatmustbeme: section about
conformance classes needs adding
... to say that they actually are consuming or producing
... the rest is just what do you publish and do you
validate
... I don't know what else there is to say
tantek: okay
... any other input?
... Informally in irc .. chair hat off.. there was a whole
discussion about social embedding widgets and the charter, but
I promised I'd have something working by this week that uses
jf2 to do social embedding
<tantek> http://tantek.com/2017/193/e1/homebrew-website-club
<Loqi> Homebrew Website Club SF
tantek: with federated RSVPs via
an embed of a series of services that are processing things
including jf2
... scroll down
... the rsvps are originating on the facebook copy of the
event. Bridgy is picking them up, sending a webmention
... and then I'm using webmention.io receiving service, and
that service provides an API that returns jf2 of all the
received rsvps
... and I'm pumping that jf2 result through another service,
the stream that turns jf2 into html+mf2
... including an optional stylesheet
... and I was able to with some CSS style the rsvps that you're
seeing, with peoples' faces and checkmarks
<ben_thatmustbeme> tantek++
<Loqi> tantek has 64 karma in this channel (365 overall)
tantek: it's a social embed in an iframe
cwebber2: it's great to see the
functionality, but it seems to me that the syntax and vocab are
not really the discussion of embedding right? We can do it via
jf2, and we can do it via AS2, doesn't matter which we end up
using
... The challenging thing is the API and workflow
... like the whole workflow of using the iframe and stuff
... It's great to see the implementation, but ti doesn't seem
like the syntax and vocabulary is the big challenge of this
tantek: mostly I just wanted to
see if I could get it working, and then I was surprised I
was
... I agree, those are the more important issues
... The cool thing here is there is no js involved
... just iframes, services, declarative markup, which is super
powerful
... the specific APIs are something that needs to be figured
out. more of a tech demo than any kind of design
cwebber2: cool
tantek: anything else?
... I dno't have any PTD updates. Any others?
... Update from SWCG?
<ben_thatmustbeme> it met, informally
cwebber2: if I can remember what
we did..
... We ended up talking about how you do embedding
... Not far off what you did tantek.. via iframe, and general
agreement that having either a browser extension or reader
would be best, but for embedding things on a page using the
iframe route makes a lot of sense
<ben_thatmustbeme> thats sort of out of context
<ben_thatmustbeme> context being for like/reply/etc
cwebber2: one of the big challenges was should you pu tthe widgets at the top of a page or should you have a bar that lets you do like and reply for the entire page.. or buttons on each sub item on a page..
<ben_thatmustbeme> buttons/actions
cwebber2: Deicded it was an implementation detail
<cwebber2> https://www.w3.org/2017/07/05-social-minutes.html
sandro: after the meeting I
tracked down the implementation of this that google did for web
intents, and that Digital Bazaar did for identity credentials
and web payments, all of which use the trusted domain iframe
technquie
... viewing that as a polyfill until the browsers have
support
... probably the way forward
... don't think this is chartered for this WG, CG problem from
my perspective
tantek: that discussion helped
inspire me
... glad to see cross pollination
... Last topic is about bridging indieweb and AP.. you want a
general discussion or something specific?
ajordan: Last call Evan requested
that we talka bout it in depth on a call, that's why it's on
the agenda
... Fine to move to next week
tantek: probably should have evan here for that
ajordan: nothing urgent
<ben_thatmustbeme> kick it down the road again
<ben_thatmustbeme> :)
tantek: postponing that
... VICTORY
