   <harry> scribe: hhalpin

   <harry> evanp: the WG is tightly focussed, with 3 clear
   deliverables, so we should be successful

   <harry> markC: Note that we in the IG is also doing the overall
   architecture, as well as semantic vocabularies, and acting as a
   liasion in that capacity.

   <oshepherd> OpenSocial Embedded Experiences is listed as an
   input to the WG. How much of what that covers is considered in
   scope - is the embedded "gadgets" stuff in scope?

   <shepazu> speaking of groups that will be using the
   deliverables of the Social Web WG, here a brief intro on the
   Web Annotations WG, which will be reusing some of the Social
   Web WG's APIs. Web Annotations WG page:
   [18]http://www.w3.org/2014/annotation/ and workshop report:

     [19] http://www.w3.org/2014/04/annotation/report.html

   evanp: now the scribe

   <sandro> consensus in one sentence: We're all on the same side,
   trying to figure out the best standard we can, in the given
   time frame.

   <jasnell> oshepherd: that still needs to be defined.

   <bret> new (2nd time)

   <cwebber> new (ish)

   <Deborah> new

   <ericmeeks> new (enough)

   <Tsyesika> new

   <jonpincus> new

   <scribe> new (always feel new)

   <falquaddoomi> new as well (i'm a member of Deborah's research
   group)

   <sandro> dinosaur :-)

   <oshepherd> new (gah, call dropped =()

   evanp: quite a few new people

   harry: fill out invited expert form soon
   ... form not required just for bureacracy's sake

   <Lloyd_Fassett> Is there a way to know if we've previously
   filled that out and been approved? Is it in our W3C profile?

   harry: to support a royalty-free environment

   [20]http://www.w3.org/2004/08/invexp.html for invited expert
   process

     [20] http://www.w3.org/2004/08/invexp.html

   <Arnaud> + w3c depends on membership dues for funding

   <Lloyd_Fassett> +Q

   +q

   <cwebber> I guess I should see if I should go through that or
   if I should be going as a GNU member

   <harry> [21]http://www.w3.org/Help/Account/

     [21] http://www.w3.org/Help/Account/

   <MarkC> could not understand Lloyd

   <Lloyd_Fassett> Is there a way to know if we've previously
   filled that out and been approved? Is it in our W3C profile?

   harry: if you've already filled out the application, it should
   be in your w3c profile
   ... if you've been an invited expert for a previous group, you
   have to fill it out again

   <Lloyd_Fassett> thank you

   harry: you can always try again

   <harry> [22]https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/ieapp/

     [22] https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/ieapp/

   <falquaddoomi> just fyi, deborah and the rest of our group
   unfortunately have to part

   <MarkC> If you are a W3C member, then your AC will need to
   approve your participation

   <Zakim> sandro, you wanted to clarify the IE process

   <tantek> Perhaps even post the link to your own site ;)

   evanp: is there anything special we need to do to invite
   experts?

   harry: sending the URL is sufficient
   ... the chairs do review the applications to make sure they're
   going to contribute

   <sandro> sandro: just to clarify that there is an evaluation
   that happens with invited expert applications

   <MarkC> for new members: [23]http://www.w3.org/participate/faq

   <jasnell> +1

   <bret> +1

   <MarkC> Social IG will do a separate doodle poll for its
   meetings

   <sandro> -1 ON PROCESS. I love this meeting time, but you can't
   ask people AT THIS TIME if this is a good time

   <oshepherd> (Or at least great for UK; after work, etc)

   <harry> We have also asked over email.

   harry: we will take into account responses by email also

   <MarkC> Depending on coverage, we may need to do alternate
   early late calls to spread the pain

   <mattl> +1

   <harry> [24]http://www.w3.org/2014/11/TPAC/

     [24] http://www.w3.org/2014/11/TPAC/

   [25]http://www.w3.org/2014/11/TPAC/

     [25] http://www.w3.org/2014/11/TPAC/

   harry: our first face-to-face meeting will be at TPAC
   ... it coincides with the 20th anniversary of w3c

   <botie> i already had it that way, dret.

   <tantek> +1 on telcon time

   harry: the W3C has reserved two days for the meeting
   ... we should set up a developer meetup

   <lehawes> Will TPAC include WG, IG or both for meetings?

   Arnaud: thanks

   <bret> I gotta run unfortunately

   <lehawes> Specifically asking about Social WG and IG meetings
   at TPAC

   <tantek> If there's interest we can also organize an indieweb
   hack session then jointly with socialwg

   jasnell: will double-check with OpenSocial about developer
   meetup

   harry: do we need a 1-day meeting or 2-day meeting?

   +2

   <harry> +2

   <lehawes> +q

   We have a lot to cover

   <Arnaud> +2

   <MarkC> +2

   <claudio_venezia> +2

   <jasnell> +2

   <tantek> +2 for day 1 discussions, day 2 hack day

   <sandro> +2

   <Lloyd_Fassett> +2

   <AdamB> +2

Getting to work

   MarkC: first order of business is organization
   ... use cases are a high priority
   ... but other priorities will come

   +q

   <harry> evanp: note that we have 3 deliverables in the charter
   so we owe it our future selves so we should liason and review
   the rest of the social data structures

   <harry> ... first week or two to look at other syntaxes

   <tantek> I for one don't take AS as an assumption. However I'm
   in favor of empowering productive efforts to move forward
   rapidly.

   <harry> ... so if we land on AS 2.0, we have a defensible
   position

   harry: we will look at the specs called out in the working
   group charter

   <harry> at least at the beginning :)

   <cwebber> if we're looking into activitystreams 2.0, I'm also
   interested in whether or not json-ld is used; there's a brief
   mention of it on the charter page

   sandro: will we be generating requirements documents?

   <cwebber> btw, potentially interesting to this, Manu Sporny
   pointed to
   [26]http://manu.sporny.org/2014/identity-credentials/ which
   could tie in

  http://manu.sporny.org/2014/identity-credentials/

   +q

   <Zakim> sandro, you wanted to ask about the UCR for that
   evaluation

   <lehawes> How will work between Social IG and WG be
   coordinated? Very important if IG is writing use
   cases/requirements and WG is creating specs.

   <harry> evanp: will likely come up with JSON based structure

   <jasnell> +q

   <harry> ... love to put this swikipage together

   <harry> ... before our next call

   shepazu: web audio working group created use cases, developed
   requirements from them, and then built them into the
   specification

   <Arnaud> where does the wiki page come from?
   [27]http://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Use_cases

     [27] http://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Use_cases

   <tantek> Zakim who is here?

   use Activity Streams as a baseline, and compare against it

   jasnell: Regarding where it publishes, AS 2.0 has been on IETF,
   simple process
   ... did not come through a working group process

   <MarkC> +1

   jasnell: should just be a w3c document only

   +q

   <tantek> Whoa thanks botie

   <Arnaud> +q

   harry: I talked to the application area director, not going to
   start anything around Activity Streams

   <harry> evanp: would it save us time to have us just keep RFC

   harry: will work with AS community to make sure patent issues
   are handled

   <harry> hhalpin: We've discussed with IETF AD, they don't plan
   to start an AS WG

   Arnaud: IETF are under RAND license, different process
   ... W3C process much more rigourous

   <harry> thinking test-suites

   jasnell: comment on AS 1.0

   <tantek> IETF lacks good history of open/free test suites as
   compared to w3c

   jasnell: AS 1.0 authors provided OWF agreements

   <tantek> Eg iCal is all pay for play in closed test meetings.

   <tantek> jasnell: Did google ever provide OWF FSA?

   <tantek> Not afaik

   <jasnell> I believe so. Yes. I will double check

   <botie> i already had it that way, sandro.

   harry: let's discuss what we want to get out of this interest
   group

   <harry> I think Google *did* sign the OWA

   <tantek_> harry not AFAIK

   harry: trying to match voices to names

   <tantek_> anyway - it's a simple matter of providing the URL to
   the signed OWA FSA if it exists

   <tantek_> otherwise we must assume it does not exist

   <botie> i already had it that way, tantek_.

   <tantek_> botie :)

   <botie> tantek_: i'm not following you...

   jasnell: getting to common set of social data standards, many
   people using it, pull the threads back together

   <harry> we should look for OWA, sounds like an ACTION item for
   jasnell :)

   <cwebber> not really totally sure how to register myself with
   the bot

   <cwebber> esp if I called in via SIP

   <shepazu>
   [28]http://www.w3.org/2014/annotation/diagrams/annotation-archi
   tecture.svg

     [28]
http://www.w3.org/2014/annotation/diagrams/annotation-architecture.svg

   <tantek_> cwebber, you can ask the bot for help just by saying:
   botname, help

   Doug_Schepers: work for W3C

   <cwebber> aha thanks tantek_

   Doug_Schepers: interested in achieving a decentralized
   architecture with lots of stake holders that gives users
   control

   <jasnell> [29]https://github.com/activitystreams/json-activity

     [29] https://github.com/activitystreams/json-activity

   Doug_Schepers: works on Annotations API. Review the diagram to
   see how it works

   <jasnell> Look under agreements folder for owfa docs

   <Zakim> tantek_, you wanted to also add that he's interested in
   distributed annotations, with a different approach.

   Doug_Schepers: wants to apply socialwg output for Web
   annotations

   tantek_: you're on!

   <botie> i already had it that way, sandro.

   <tantek_> Fragmentions -
   [30]http://indiewebcamp.com/fragmentions

     [30] http://indiewebcamp.com/fragmentions

   tantek_: adds to Doug's work on annotations, IndieWebCamp
   Fragmentions

   <shepazu> (I don't think they are different, I think they're
   complementary)

   <tantek_> Marginalias -
   [31]https://kartikprabhu.com/article/marginalia

     [31] https://kartikprabhu.com/article/marginalia

   <cwebber> +q

   <sandro> tantek_, best to just type it.

   tantek_: IndieWeb community has been working on annotations,
   with WebMentions and Marginalia

   <tantek_> The IndieWeb community has also been working on
   distributed annotations on the web

   <tantek_> with a couple of building blocks

   <tantek_> fragmentions - URLs with ## to link to a text on a
   page

   <tantek_> [32]http://indiewebcamp.com/fragmentions

     [32] http://indiewebcamp.com/fragmentions

   <tantek_> and marginalia

   <tantek_> comments in the margins of articles on the web

   cwebber: Tsyesika working on pump.io-based API for federation.

   <tantek_> discussed and demonstrated:
   [33]https://kartikprabhu.com/article/marginalia

     [33] https://kartikprabhu.com/article/marginalia

   <harry> evanp: Pump.io is a piece of software that does
   ActivityStreams social server

   <harry> ... API similar to things proposed, and I've said we'll
   make to transition to what we decide in the WG

   <cwebber> great :)

   <jasnell> And fwiw... There are no known IPR claims on AS 2.
   Document history is available in IETF doc tracker and git hub,
   with feedback documented on Activity streams mailing list
   archive.

   <harry> 978?

   <cwebber> 978 US?

   <harry> yes

   <harry> hey lloyd!

   <cwebber> no I'm on SIP, I was wondering if it was Tsyesika,
   but I remember she's also on SIP :)

   evanp: 514 is me

   <lehawes> i am in 978, but using Google Voice, so may have a
   different area code

   <Tsyesika> I have no idea where I'm dialing in from, i just
   called in on SIP

   <ericmeeks> Hey, we are all about Linked Data and SOcial
   Standards

   Lloyd_Fassett: have worked on linked data and social standards

   <ericmeeks> who is this talking

   <ericmeeks> ?

   ericmeeks: it is Lloyd_Fassett

   <ericmeeks> thanks!

   NP

   <Tsyesika> +q

   ericmeeks: we have been installing profiling systems in
   academia, have adopted linked open data and glued it to social
   standards
   ... academics on different systems at different universities
   are linked
   ... trying to get them to interact more actively

   cool!

   <lehawes> How can I see what my <old identifier> is so I can
   assign my nickname to it?

   ericmeeks: please contact if interested in linked open data and
   social software

   Arnaud: work at IBM, longtime at W3C
   ... was asked to provide help in this group
   ... IBM interest is enterprise-oriented
   ... some argue that social web exists, but not an open social
   web
   ... trying to integrate social software, can't be done without
   standards

   <tantek> evanp - there is an open social web, but it's quite
   small, or relegated to islands of monocultures.

   sandro: work for w3c, not a contact for this group
   ... working on the crosscloud project
   ... like webmention

   <tantek> … where everyone runs the same software but on
   different servers

   sandro: hope to use other parts
   ... thanks

   <KevinMarks> does w3c allow + in email? It still hates my old
   account

   MarkC: working to integrate solutions between vendors
   ... seeing this activity move to W3C and alignment with
   OpenSocial

   <sandro> KevinMarks, yes + in email should be fine

   MarkC: see what other opportunities exist

   <Tsyesika> i might be muted?

   <Tsyesika> no idea i called in via sip. I think my call just
   dropped though >.<

   <tantek> "The conference is restricted at this time"

   <oshepherd> Tsyesika: SIP seems slightly unreliable. Need to
   watch out for the -??P<num> on IRC

   <jasnell> Would it be possible to ask for people to document in
   the wiki which existing formats they're using currently. Are
   they using OpenSocial currently? If so, what parts? Etc

   <Arnaud> argh.. this is because we are past the end of our time
   slot

   <tantek> harry, could you extend future telcon reservations
   with Zakim to be 5 min past end of slot?

   <Arnaud> the call isn't ended but you can't join, or join back,
   anymore

   evanp: homework, please get on public mailing list, get on
   working group through inv exp or organization, outreach to
   other people who should be involved

   <tantek> homework: stay on IRC :)

   <tantek> blog about inviting those who work on social web
   interfaces (both user and tech) to
   [34]http://www.w3.org/wiki/socialwg

     [34] http://www.w3.org/wiki/socialwg

   harry: will ask on mailing list for issues around times, and
   get started

   [35]https://www.w3.org/wiki/To_invite is a list for starting to
   think of people and organizations to invite

     [35] https://www.w3.org/wiki/To_invite

   <lehawes> exit

   harry: we'll see you all next week

   Good meeting!

   <harry> evanp: want to get folks ready for next week 1) Start
   reviewing existing social work, esp. data transfer 2) Join
   WG/IG and 3) invite other people!

   <tantek> only ended the meeting ~3 minutes late. not too bad.

   harry: thanks for doing it

   maybe tantek, evanp and Arnaud can rotate in the future?

   <tantek> thanks harry for chairing the telcon. thanks evanp for
   minuting!
