<Loqi> Hello everyone,
<Loqi> We’re pl...
ajordan: also note that there is a community group meething this friday
<cwebber> ;)
<KevinMarks> I just signed up for that
eprodrom: unless anyone has
issues with it, i will say we have a meeting next week as we
are in a pressure sensative time
... i will have to confirm with tantek that he's ok to chair,
but i think we have the power to just decide that we have a
meeting
<tantek> we already did last week

<Loqi> Social Web Incubator Community Group kick-off call
<Loqi> Christopher Webber | Posted on: May 1, 2017
<Loqi> Hello everyone,
<Loqi> We’re pl...
cwebber: we scheduled our first
telcon for this friday on irc / mumble, been trying to drum up
interest in various places, i recommend others do the
same
... its going to be a loose call and open up discussion
... and what people would like to work on and guage next
steps
tantek: is that enough advanced notice? i don't know of any rules for CGs, but its somewhat short notice
cwebber: yes, its pretty short notice, but its been scheduled now
tantek: well its okay if its only a few people, just want to set expectations
cwebber: yes, its ok if its a smaller number of people there
tantek: what are you using for audio calls?
cwebber: its on mumble, it has
clients on just about everything
... i've had pretty good success with it just working
(tm)
... it also works well for people internationally well
<sandro> https://www.w3.org/community/swicg/
eprodrom: also for anyone who hasn't signed up for the CG, please do
sandro: is there any way to reach the members of the CG to let them know about the meeting?
cwebber: the current method i'm using is to post to all the social web type things
<KevinMarks_> Send them webmentions?
cwebber: we don't have an email
list, i don't have strong opinions on this, which is why it got
email removed
... personally i don't have any objections to email
tantek: there was discussion of possibly even using github issues for meeting scheduling
cwebber: sounds like a good this to discuss in the first meeting
tantek: aaronpk actually POSSE's from his site to email
eprodrom: am i muted?
... sounds like we have a plan for this friday, glad that that
is happening
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
<cwebber> go amy!
sandro: for people who don't know amy turned in her doctoral thesis and is on retreat
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
... they look like they are just editorial, which i will
review
... do we have any for the other PRs?
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)
<Loqi> awesome
sandro: talk to your AC reps to
get some more feedback on these specs
... specifically for activity streams which has a deadline in
the next week or so
<sandro> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/socialweb/ Deadline May 11
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
... oh there is a new implementation for micropub as well
... micro.blog has taken micropub as their client connection
API
... so their client will work for any micropub servers, and
existing micropub clients will work for them
... also micro.blog is not a w3c member, just a kickstarter
project
ben_thatmustbeme: i opened issues on various issue trackers, to request support for it too
<sandro> Here's the W3C Member Confidential link to one negative comment on MicroPub: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-archive/2017Apr/0338.html
<sandro> (Oh, wait, that's incomplete.)
eprodrom_: is there anything we can talk about on websub without aaronpk or julien here?
tantek: i was hoping to get a websub test suite update today
eprodrom_: i think aaronpk said a 2 week schedule for it made sense
tantek: and i see 3 open issues
eprodrom_: on to AP
<tantek> https://github.com/w3c/websub/issues/
cwebber: we have seen some
implementation work from mastodon and ??
... 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
<cwebber> https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#changes-11-april-to-2-may
cwebber: things are not there
yet, but there is progress
... we had a CR scheduled for today, put the link to
changes
... in irc
... mainly a new CR because there have been a lot of
changes
<cwebber> https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/219
<Loqi> [cwebber] #219 Make adding to outbox collection on client to server section a MUST?
cwebber: but before issuing
another CR, we may want to talk about a few of these
issues
... for 219 its a question of it should be a MUST to post
...
... i'm not completely convinced if those are reason enough
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
... do they have different views of the
cwebber: we already have working about filtering the outbox based on ACLs
eprodrom_: the only other issue i
could see is with third party confirmation
... like a captca, or a confirmation you were tagged
... a SHOULD would likely be fine
sandro: what happens if someone
violates the should?
... does it break implementations?
cwebber: it wouldn't break federation but it just wouldn't federate
sandro: isn't that broken?
eprodrom_: its like if something gets posted to the server but doesn't get posted publicly
tantek: do we know of a specific use-case for that?
sandro: the reason for should would allow for flexibility for other things?
cwebber: another example would be for transient messages
eprodrom_: a common case is uploading files for processing, like video files get transcoded on the server, they may not appear immediately
<sandro> I like SHOULD, given this need for flexibility
eprodrom_: we can't think of it as a bad thing if it did happen
tantek: whenever you change a
should to a must makes it more fragile
... its best to start with MUST and drop to a SHOULD only if it
breaks for someone
... only go SHOULD if there is a specific use-case
cwebber: there is one case where
it would break, which is transient activiites, which we have
mentioned in other places in the spec
... rather we permit it, like for game activities that stick
around
... but we don't have really clear examples of it happening
sandro: you can say its a MUST except for transient activities or other things that might come along
eprodrom_: it doesn't actually have a time constraint, if its delayed some amount of time, thats fine
<cwebber> > 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.
eprodrom_: even transient activiites can appear and then disappear, there is not requirement that they stay there
tantek: i like that interpretation
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
<eprodrom_> PROPOSED: close issue https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/219 with proposed text including "MUST"
<Loqi> [cwebber] #219 Make adding to outbox collection on client to server section a MUST?
<eprodrom_> +1
<eprodrom_> ben_thatmustbeme: thanks
ajordan: is the proposed text we are dissing the one cwebber just posted to IRC?
<tantek> +1
cwebber: no, thats a more expanded version
ajordan: so we are discussing the one on github?
cwebber: yes
ajordan: can we add a note to that effect?
<ajordan> +1
ajordan: as an implementor i wouldn't see that as obvious
<eprodrom_> PROPOSED: close issue https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/219 with proposed text including "MUST" with explanatory note for exceptions
<Loqi> [cwebber] #219 Make adding to outbox collection on client to server section a MUST?
+1 not sure this needs a proposal any more, just resolve and adding note is up to editor discression
<eprodrom_> +1
<ajordan> +1
eprodrom: i think the concern is a client that posts a note and then immediately reads the outbox and expects it to be there
<cwebber> +1
eprodrom: we should explain that there are several reasons why it might not be there
tantek: in the interest of interop, i'm in favor of fewer caveats
<sandro> +1
<tantek> +1
RESOLUTION: close issue https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/219 with proposed text including "MUST" with explanatory note for exceptions
<Loqi> [cwebber] #219 Make adding to outbox collection on client to server section a MUST?
<tantek> technically caveats not exceptions but ok
<tantek> (something appears briefly still apears, or something that appears later still appears, in the outbox)
sandro: we might want to talk about posibilities of extending the group
cwebber: i can wrap up AP quick i think
<cwebber> https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/202
<Loqi> [mray] #202 SVG version tutorial Illustrations
cwebber: i wanted to make sure before we approve the CR, we are okay with these images added
<cwebber> https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/196
<Loqi> [annando] #196 How to differentiate between posts and private (direct) messages?
cwebber: 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
<cwebber> https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#changes-11-april-to-2-may
<tantek> and 219?
ben_thatmustbeme: if there are possibly normative changes, should we wait on CR?
<tantek> 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
cwebber: what do you think sandro? can we wait?
sandro: it can wait another week
tantek: its not clear that we will have a solution next week either
ben_thatmustbeme: i'm not saying we shouldn't do a CR, just asking that
<eprodrom> 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
<cwebber> +1
<tantek> +1
<ajordan> +1

<tantek> https://github.com/w3c/websub/issues/97
<Loqi> [aaronpk] #97 Discussion for Host-Meta feature At Risk
tantek: websub, aaronpk looked for implementations that publish it and or depend on it, its sort of a last call for implementations of it
and his plan is to not implement a test for it
scribe: otherwise its assumed this at-risk feature is getting killed
eprodrom: tantek, sandro, and I
have been talking about if its possible for extending this
group
... there has been some push for activity streams, there has
been a lot of interest with mastodon, and lots of
implementation work
... i'd like to discuss this next week
tantek: i agree the last month
has shown tremendous implementation update in all of our
specs
... from the mastodon phenomenon, to micro.blog, to LDN getting
more impelmentations, i think we can make a case for that to
recharter, we just have to figure out what that means
<eprodrom> Thanks all
eprodrom: thanks everyone for your time
