eprodrom: Hi all
eprodrom: SocialCG meeting in 5 mins
– Topic set by eprodrom to: SocialCG December Meeting https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/2018-12-12
fun360: Hi! :)
fun360: I've been invited here by Christopher Lemmer Webber
eprodrom: Great!
eprodrom: Are you on Mumble?
fun360: I just advise that in 30 minutes I have to go, so I hope to get the chance to make my proposal before leaving :)
fun360: nope
fun360: I open it
eprodrom: OK
eprodrom: Well, we've got a pretty brief agenda
fun360: I'm there but I don't see anybody
eprodrom: Yes I'm just about to arrive
eprodrom: Or not
fun360: XD
eprodrom: I'm going to have to participate via IRC, my mumble setup is working badly
eprodrom: trackbot, start meeting

eprodrom_: Grrr
eprodrom_: OK, I'll just do minutes by hand
eprodrom_: trackbot, status
trackbot: Sorry, but no Tracker is associated with this channel.
fun360: sounds like everything is working perfectly today :)
eprodrom: Indeed
eprodrom: Well, I'm filling in as chair
eprodrom: I'll just copy-and-paste the meeting notes
eprodrom: Let's just do it on IRC
fun360: ok
– eprodrom_ has disconnected ("Page closed")
eprodrom: TOPIC: discourse on activitypub.rocks
eprodrom: Do you want to give an overview of the idea?
fun360: sure
eprodrom: fun360, can you give an overview?
eprodrom: Still there?
fun360: I'm collaborating with several projects and is missing a central place where people can find each other for several reasons
eprodrom: So, a lot of people who are working on AP?
fun360: since AP is about creating communities, first I think is needed the human side about community
Cult: nightpool[m]: sorry, got pulled somewhere else in my code. I'll have a look to your link !
eprodrom: fun360: technically, this community group is supposed to be that place
eprodrom: We have a group that's managed by the W3C
eprodrom: https://www.w3.org/community/socialcg/ <-- here
fun360: many projects don't even know about AP, and when I talk about it they ask me technical help, which I cannot provide right now
eprodrom: We've got mailing lists, this IRC channel, Github, and wiki
fun360: yep but we have to face the reality that people need more easier tools for sync together: right now they use https://discourse.joinmastodon.org
rialtate[m]: Since discourse doesn't support activitypub I think it's an incredibly bad idea. However, https://socialhub.network/ already exists for that purpose.
fun360: I didn't know about https://socialhub.network/
eprodrom: Oh great
eprodrom: This is the first time I've heard of it
fun360: me too
fun360: for me is not about Discourse itself
eprodrom: It's about having a forum people can use
fun360: but something you, as AP team, promote as "meeting point"
eprodrom: Different people like different kinds of interfaces
fun360: yes
fun360: a generic place, not Mastodon or some other platform related
eprodrom: RRSAgent, make logs public
rialtate[m]: I think it's much better if the forum is AP powered so people who already have AP can participate and also so it can be federated and not siloed
fun360: if https://socialhub.network/ is generic is perfect, just nobody knows about it XD not even me that I've been looking for it :P
eprodrom: I agree, rialtate[m]
fun360: AP powered forum would be even more amazing :)
eprodrom: Yes, but afaik it doesn't exist yet
eprodrom: It's a great idea for a project though
fun360: that's why I proposed Discourse, it's ready and opensource, nothing stop anybody to add AP
fun360: actually can be the first topic :P
eprodrom: Can we do this? Let's add a link to socialhub.network on the SocialCG wiki
eprodrom: See if that helps
fun360: who manages https://socialhub.network/?
eprodrom: I don't know
eprodrom: Can you follow up there?
eprodrom: We're closing in on 30 minutes so I think we should wrap up
fun360: I can investigate a bit, but now I've to go, can you give me your contact so we can continue this speech later?
eprodrom: I think working through the CG is the right way to get things done
fun360: ok
fun360: anyway for me linking https://socialhub.network/ in the AP homepage is a good solution
fun360: :)
eprodrom: Great, I'll add an issue on Github
eprodrom: With that, let's adjourn the meeting
fun360: :D
fun360: thanks for everything!
eprodrom: Sure
fun360: hope more and more projects will join AP ;) I'm with you!
eprodrom: https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/331
eprodrom: Great thanks!
