SWICG Meeting July 22, 2023

Housekeeping

  • Attendance
  • Topics

    • Introduction of meeting

    • agenda here

    • holding a SWICG session at TPAC? at least a casual meet-up for interested parties?

      • Going: Evan, Tantek, Ben, and bumblefudge (99% sure but depends on a visa)
        • Ben: possible Threads<>Webtech session at TPAC?
      • Remote attendance interest?

    • Issue triage meetings lead by Evan P

      • Triaging of issues (newer issues first)

    • Discussion of CG outputs versus other modes of working

      • bob: but what's the pressing need? what needs updating?
        • bumble and manton: migration topic!

    • Account Migration

      • Manton has a blog post on the subject
      • There is no spec, although there are a few interlocking socialhub threads trying to ideate towards an FEP
      • Implementing it requires investigating what does Mastodon do (see socialhub thread)

    • Features to specification

      • evan: Threads topics not covered by AP spec like limiting replies
      • ben: UX/capability parity with Insta is a driving design goal; that's easy intra-Threads, but figuring out how that works across federation is more difficult...

Chair Selection/election for SWICG

  • Chairs
    • evan: nightpool and aaronpk have said they don't have sufficient bandwidth/time
    • evan: one chair is ok, however more is better, for timezones, to help as a backup for meetings
    • Tantek: Encourages a bias toward implementors in a chair role -- should be actively working with specs, keeps the group grounded
    • tantek: process for volunteering?
    • evan: email to the list, James sent an email
    • james: has experience with some IndieWeb specs (WebSub, IndieAuth, jf2)
    • evan: have you talked to aaron about chairing?
    • james: yes, aaron has noted his inability to keep up with the time commitments for the group.
    • james: my prior experience does not include CG chairing, looking for mentorship from a previous chair
    • evan: have you talked to dmitri?
    • james: yes, aaron has been talking with dmitri, haven't heard back in a few weeks
    • evan: if you had the help of tantek and dmitri in getting started, the processes aren't overwhelming, and it would be great to have another hand
    • evan: is there anything else that we would need?
    • evan: would love to have a third person in that role too (chair)
    • tantek: agreed, a third would be good
    • bumblefudge: might be able to chair, but not sure about time commitment, may know more in the next month
    • bumblefudge: haven't run a CG before, have been active in another CG for a year
    • evan: better to have more candidates for chairs than fewer!

Issue review

Further Housekeeping

  • Meeting time
    • Q: from James:
      • Can I propose we move the meeting time back to allow for easier participation of people on the West Coast?
      • Can we also choose a note-taking tool that does not require authentication? (i.e. Etherpad)

Action Items

  • ben: document list of features that Meta would be interested in supporting with ActivityPub (e.g. limiting replies), share with list
