Meeting minutes

<dape> Agenda:

previous minutes

<dape> https://www.w3.org/2021/07/13-wot-marketing-minutes.html

Daniel: review minutes

McCool: we should follow up on how we are going to take care of the logos

Daniel: yes there is an issue to track this

Daniel: also need to track implementations
… and talked about further dissemination; ongoing activity

Daniel: any objections to approving the minutes?
… hearing none, let's make these public

website review

Daniel: noticed we have some updated tweets, startup out of TUM
… also is a PR to update the "upcoming" events, which are now past

McCool: may as well add TPAC to this PR

Daniel: do people agree I should add this and then merge it?
… sounds like it, yes

<dape> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/pull/186

Daniel: some more PRs as well... Ege added WADE to the list of implementations

<dape> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/pull/185

Daniel: no objections, will merge
… this also reorders the implementations to put more conformant ones higher in the list

Daniel: another PR that archives older content on the wiki

<dape> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/pull/187

https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/pull/87

(delete entry for 87)

<dape> https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/wiki/Implementations

McCool: let's also update the content on the wiki to point also to the main web page

Daniel: ok (edits wiki)

Daniel: will also merge the above PR to archive old content to keep it in an archive on the wiki

Kaz: not strictly necessary to use the same license as in the charter

McCool: although it would be consistent
… and before we merge we should check with Coralie and Wendy

web analytics

Daniel: matamo can be used, can be set to not use cookies

McCool: so do we just ask the system team to set this up?

Kaz: but some concern that we would rather not share it publically

McCool: I think the purpose is just to review, but not put the data in the minutes

Kaz: can archive data in a private list; will let sebastian continue talking to them

Daniel: agree, no cookies

McCool: we care about the trend, not about the absolute number

Philipp: nothing special about this, matamo does the right thing, good for our purposes

social media icons

<kaz> Issue 188 - Adding Social Media Icons on WoT Pages

Daniel: ege is proposing we add icons and links to all the READMEs for the github repos

McCool: while we are at it, it would be good to point to the web page from each repo

Cristiano: there is a github feature to point at the web site

McCool: but currently used for github.io...

Daniel: let's agree on a consistent header across all our repos

Kaz: agree

McCool: we should at least put the link to the web page, putting icons on each page is a second-order, reduces the number of links

Kaz: right. regarding the addition of icons from external services, I'd suggest we check with Coralie

McCool: we also have to decide which badges we want; twitter and stackoverflow?
… too many different badges just makes more work for us, so harder to generate content for/stay on top of
… so I'd keep it to a smallish number

Daniel: and then there's the question of YouTube
… Dom asking about this

McCool: also, regarding StreamFizz, etc. I think we only need an alternative channel to make things available in China
… so an alternative that is also not available in China is no use

McCool: so right now we do use streamfizz for the alternative video source
… need to test if it works in China...

McCool: (timecheck)

Action: kaz to talk to dom about getting access to video server credentials

https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/178

WoT Implementations

<dape> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/176

McCool: I think we need to at least add SayWoT and WebThings
… best to leave ECHONET off for now

workshops

Kaz: I will be speaking at workshop in Korea proposed by Gyu Myoung Lee from ITU-T SG20.

Daniel: time to adjourn

<kaz> [adjourned]
