13:17:36 [Adam]
dka: cprey can you help share your thoughts about work to do around business side ? .... part of the work from the group needs to inform the community about the benefits about the open social web ecosystem
13:17:42 [danbri]
q-
13:17:43 [Adam]
... as apposed to the wall garden approach
13:17:50 [Adam]
... that was my thinking
13:17:57 [PhilA2]
q-
13:18:30 [Adam]
cprey: dka recapped it very well ... wants work from group to have impact in a business context
13:18:55 [bblfish]
cprey: is this the type of thing that is needed? http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/business_model_for_open_distributed
13:18:58 [Adam]
... would like to describe some scenarios how a open social web could come about and in what ways could it be beneficial to the bottom line
13:19:18 [oshani]
not sure if this is really relevant -- but I see some interesting business related user stories here : http://www.primelife.eu/images/stories/deliverables/h5.1.1-policy_requirements-public.pdf
13:19:39 [Adam]
... would benefit by hearing more from businesses on their concerns ... in what areas do businesses wish to see more standardization
13:19:56 [Adam]
... communication would be best to go both ways, us to listen to them
13:20:27 [Adam]
dka: mentioned the idea of sharing the location information between mobile startups
13:20:59 [Adam]
... have somebody speak about how they're extending xmpp but at a business level if the ceo's got together and said it would be beneficial for them to share location information
13:21:05 [danbri]
q+ to ask about oslo biz story
13:21:16 [Adam]
... its an interesting overlap of both business and technology

13:22:23 [Adam]
hhalpin: one thing that could be missing from the use cases whats the best way to do data portability from a business perspective
13:22:42 [samcritchley]
I think Aka-aki and Nulaz are in OSLO
13:22:53 [cperey]
yes, I can confirm that
13:22:56 [samcritchley]
couple of others too

13:25:30 [hhalpin]
ack bblfish
13:26:11 [Adam]
bblfish: think its good to look at little companies as well as the big companies ... activity can happen a lot faster typically at the smaller companies
13:26:14 [DKA]
+1 to the importance of the "little companies."
13:26:26 [danbri]
re opensocial and w3c, see recent Wookie/Widgets proposal in the Apache Foundation - http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/200907.mbox/browser
13:26:35 [mattroweshow]
+1 for the longtail
13:26:37 [danbri]
action: danbri circulate wookie proposal to the xg
13:26:37 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-53 - Circulate wookie proposal to the xg [on Dan Brickley - due 2009-07-15].

7. Portability Task Force
13:27:35 [hhalpin]
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/Portability_Architecture_TF
13:28:21 [Adam]
??: ought to be clear if charter says not about creating new technology
13:28:31 [hhalpin]
Here's this sentence from the charter: "Our goal is to provide a forum through which collaborations relating to social web standards can be formed, and through which the results of practical standards-oriented collaborations can be reported and discussed."
13:28:51 [Adam]
XX: think we should not invent new protocols, was my idea from the start
13:29:11 [hhalpin]
s/XX/jsalvachua
13:29:17 [petef]
Adam ?? == petef
13:29:17 [hhalpin]
s/??/jsalvachua
13:29:30 [Adam]
jsalvachua: w3c isn't necessarily about implementing new protocols
13:30:22 [Adam]
hhalpin: charter is written in that way to share that the group wasn't necessarily about creating something new
13:30:31 [tinkster]
The task force could always identify areas where it thinks new protocols are needed, and then people from the TF could work outside the TF and XG to create protocols that fit into those gaps.
13:30:49 [hhalpin]
We can't prevent people from informally making things :)
13:31:03 [hhalpin]
In fact, we want to informally for people to get together!!!
13:31:27 [Adam]
danbri: if members of the group want to get together and invent things thats fine but be clear of what your doing and be transparent regarding patent policy
13:31:45 [Adam]
jsalvachua: how can we start? with a statement of whats out there right now?
13:32:01 [Adam]
... to talk about new combinations
13:32:14 [Adam]
petef: thats sounds good
13:32:23 [hhalpin]
Zakim, q+
13:32:23 [Zakim]
I see hhalpin on the speaker queue
13:32:33 [danbri]
q?
13:32:41 [hhalpin]
ack hhalpin
13:32:44 [Adam]
jsalvachua: ok, petef and I should start talking about this after summer when people are more available
13:32:56 [Adam]
hhalpin: agree with overall sense of things
13:33:53 [Adam]
... but would like more detail ... would be great if this group was able to generate excitement about making portability and a practical plan to approach portability
13:34:05 [hhalpin]
danbri - what's FOAF's role in this?
13:34:40 [Adam]
jsalvachua: would like to have some sort of proof of concept of the ideas they are developing
13:36:06 [mischat]
yes
13:36:07 [mattroweshow]
+1
13:36:23 [hhalpin]
I would also like to see mappings between OpenSocial, XFN, vCard, and PortableContacts to FOAF.
13:36:29 [hhalpin]
With XML-based formats, done via GRDDL.
13:36:34 [cperey]
I don't want to draw away from the useful discussion on data portability, but can we have a section in this Task Force which explains what might be business benefits of data portability?
13:36:38 [Adam]
danbri: have something that guides people with OpenSocial, FOAF etc
13:36:39 [danbri]
aside - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/interview_with_tim_berners-lee_part_1.php
13:36:47 [hhalpin]
Might need Python to sort of move contacts in various formats.
13:36:51 [AlexPassant]
what about mattroweshow work on mappings for social vocabularies ?
13:37:02 [jsalvachua]
i now more a ruby guy :)
13:37:07 [bblfish]
q+
13:37:12 [hhalpin]
I'm still in the dark ages of python or perl!
13:37:14 [Adam]
cprey: would like to learn what the business benefits to the open data portability
13:37:26 [Adam]
... maybe charging people when importing / exporting data
13:37:45 [danbri]
hmm http://wiki.dataportability.org/display/dpmain/Business+Case looks a bit work-in-progress
13:38:17 [tinkster]
Business case: if you enable import of contacts from other sites, then it lowers the barrier to entry for new people signing up at your site, hence get more users, hence get more advertising revenue.
13:38:46 [hhalpin]
ack bblfish
13:38:51 [Adam]
hhalpin: one case might be to have your smaller social site wanting to market about kite flying and them using information from Facebook .. have an open format for exchanging that data
13:38:55 [petef]
and if you allow export of data you encourage users to try your service without fear of lockin or wasted effort
13:39:00 [cperey]
Thanks for the link DanBri!! very confirming
13:39:02 [danbri]
biz case of being able to accept open data formats is fairly no-brainer; biz case of unlocking user data is tougher ...
13:39:06 [cperey]
of my suspicions
13:39:30 [hhalpin]
It would be nice if these use-cases found their way into the use-case stories on the wiki - anyone up for that?
13:39:42 [Adam]
bblfish: if companies want to start selling software to companies, the companies themselves need to be able to control their data
13:39:51 [Adam]
... and link to other sites that control their data
13:40:14 [Adam]

13:40:21 [hhalpin]

s/if companies want to start selling software/if social networks want to start selling services/
13:40:25 [cperey]
there are about 100+ companies who are already in teh business of business social networks
13:40:38 [danbri]
http://eliasbizannes.com/blog/2009/04/data-portability-and-media-explaining-the-business-case/
13:40:43 [cperey]
they are not interested in companies being able to export their data/leave
13:40:54 [bblfish]
so my point was summarised here: http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/business_model_for_open_distributed
13:41:14 [cperey]
federated directories?
13:41:34 [hhalpin]
adam: we've been talking mostly about use-cases involving marketing
13:41:36 [danbri]
q+ re "code visits data vs data visits code" opensocial pitch
13:41:47 [hhalpin]
adam: but how about enterprise management
13:42:05 [hhalpin]
adam: when we want to have our corporate social network reach out to others on another corporate social network
13:42:10 [hhalpin]
adam: when we have some agreement
13:42:10 [cperey]
do not have documented case (user story) covering how enterprises can benefit from data portability
13:42:26 [hhalpin]
adam: but we have to respect privacy and security of this data.
13:42:34 [cperey]
he's our scribe today!
13:42:37 [hhalpin]
DKA: really likes adam's story
13:42:51 [jsalvachua]
i have a real use case on this that we may have to implement, i will try to write it.
13:42:52 [hhalpin]
Boeing's internal stuff is really neat!
13:43:08 [danbri]
yep
13:43:16 [danbri]

13:44:17 [Adam]
... will try to expand on the use case
13:44:27 [bblfish]

danbri, you wanted to discuss "code visits data vs data visits code" opensocial pitch
13:45:05 [Adam]
danbri: wants to talk about distinction google made when rolling out OpenSocial
13:45:19 [hhalpin]
tinkster - want to write up the marketing use-case for the use-case document?
13:46:04 [tinkster]
hhalpin: as in this? "Business case: if you enable import of contacts from other sites, then it lowers the barrier to entry for new people signing up at your site, hence get more users, hence get more advertising revenue."
13:46:22 [Adam]
... prior to those apis, a lot of people thought about letting the data go .... google said what about the data staying where it is such that a widget stays where the data is and runs in a controlled environment
13:46:23 [hhalpin]
Yes, just add that to the use-case story wiki
13:46:56 [Adam]
... from businesses perspective, its not just about freeing the data or keeping the data but a little bit of both
13:46:58 [tinkster]
ACTION Toby to add user story along lines of... if you enable import of contacts from other sites, then it lowers the barrier to entry for new people signing up at your site, hence get more users, hence get more advertising revenue.
13:46:58 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-56 - Add user story along lines of... if you enable import of contacts from other sites, then it lowers the barrier to entry for new people signing up at your site, hence get more users, hence get more advertising revenue. [on Toby Inkster - due 2009-07-15].
13:47:02 [cperey]
that's the question: why would you ever want to free up this data?
13:47:17 [petef]
clap, clap

re widgets and biz, maybe i can mention - http://www.slideshare.net/danbri/introducing-joost-widgets-2007-talk-presentation
13:48:58 [Adam]
mischat: question about people contacting somebody at facebook regarding privacy
13:48:58 [cperey]
Chris Kelly, Chief Privacy officer
13:49:17 [Adam]
... might be able to poke a contact there if have more information about what we would like to ask of him
13:49:30 [Adam]
... to have more context when contacting him
13:49:30 [danbri]
maybe an email Q&A is best for him, initially?
13:49:34 [cperey]
that's what I would like (suggested)
13:49:44 [cperey]
agreed
13:49:47 [mattroweshow]
+1
13:49:49 [hhalpin]
My feeling is that we want to have him to talk to us at some point, but we can probably only do that once so we need to have our questions ready :)
13:49:50 [Adam]
danbri: maybe a Q&A interaction as a good first step
13:50:15 [bblfish]
oops two people talking simultaneously
13:50:21 [hhalpin]
(sorry about that!)
13:50:25 [cperey]
what? I"m sorry didn't understand you
13:50:48 [Adam]
hhalpin: any updates on the facebook privacy
13:51:01 [Adam]
cprey: don't have much more detail other then articles shared
13:51:17 [Adam]
... some people on both sides of the privacy fence
13:51:22 [mischat]
i dont know anything about it,
13:51:44 [mattroweshow]
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_day_facebook_changed_messages_to_become_pulic.php

13:53:10 [PhilA2]

13:53:35 [Adam]
dka: you do get much segregation even within the same country
13:53:54 [danbri]
q*
13:53:55 [danbri]
q?
13:54:33 [danbri]
( many privacy issues are highly counterintuitive - teenagers don't know about probability and de-anonymising data )
13:54:39 [Adam]
dka: in terms of what to ask privacy officer of facebook, bouncing some ideas from what came out of the privacy jungle discussion
13:54:39 [cperey]
also some ideas from the C Petersen paper
13:54:56 [Adam]
... why are social networks de-empasizing privacy
13:54:59 [tinkster]
Privacy/Policy Commons would really help here. Creative Commons makes licensing really easy to understand: you can do this, you can't do that. We need the same easy at-a-glance system for privacy.
