12:38:34 [JKRhb]
ek: Did not see any issues with the issues
12:38:43 [JKRhb]
... main thing was the collaboration with the CG
12:39:01 [JKRhb]
... otherwise, I've shown this PR that was presented in the main call
12:39:07 [JKRhb]
... seems that that was it
12:39:22 [JKRhb]
... if the initials are fixed, then we are fine
12:39:31 [JKRhb]

12:39:49 [JKRhb]

12:43:26 [JKRhb]
ek: This is an important PR by Jan, which adds a link to our website that will show that our account is verified, like the main W3C account
12:43:45 [JKRhb]
... minor PR, if there are no concerns, then we could merge it
12:43:54 [JKRhb]

ek: I will also propagate the changes to the other repos
12:47:11 [JKRhb]
... also by the way, we got a lot of followers really quickly

... I was kind of surprised, we have a kind of similar reach as on Twitter before
12:48:09 [JKRhb]
kaz: What did you mean by "copying the changes over to the other repos"?
12:48:38 [JKRhb]
ek: I meant adding the Mastodon link to the READMEs of the other repositories
12:48:55 [JKRhb]
kaz: Not sure if we need this, also: Is this approved by the whole group?
12:49:11 [JKRhb]
ek: I think Michael McCool added the badges initially
12:49:35 [JKRhb]
... I think he put it in one repo and then we simply propagated
12:50:37 [JKRhb]
kaz: Adding the links is technically possible, but the technical repositories should rather focus on technical aspects and marketing should happen in the area of the Marketing taskforce
12:51:11 [JKRhb]
ek: It is just one line, furthermore this is part of marketing
12:51:38 [JKRhb]
kaz: Do we want people to start at the repository and then go to our marketing channels?
12:52:11 [JKRhb]
ek: Some people start at the specifications and go to the repository, and then maybe visit the social media channels this way
12:52:31 [kaz]
kaz: @@@
12:52:37 [JKRhb]
kaz: I will raise this issue again in the main call, that is probably a better place to discuss this matter

12:53:13 [JKRhb]
ek: This PR adds an iframe with the latest Mastodon posts to the website
12:53:22 [JKRhb]
... an annyoing aspect is that the background is always dark
12:53:30 [JKRhb]
... and there is no native way to change that

topic: Mastodon Account
12:56:29 [JKRhb]
ek: Currently the Mastodon is tied to my own email, which we should probably change
12:57:16 [JKRhb]
... we also need to discuss who should have access to the account in the main call, currently only I have access from the WoT WG, at least chairs should also have access in my opinion
12:57:25 [JKRhb]
... then there is the question who we should follow back
12:57:43 [JKRhb]
