<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>trackbot</cite>&gt; Date: 07 October
2009</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Convene SWXG WG
meeting of 2009-10-07T15:00-17:00Z</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; scribe: peterf</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; PROPOSED: to
approve SWXG WG Weekly -- 30th September 2009 as a true
record</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; RESOLVED: approved
SWXG WG Weekly -- 30th September 2009 as a true record</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster</cite>&gt; evanpro, when you
call in, we're on extension 26632 instead of 7994.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; PROPOSED: to meet
again Wed. October 14th</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; 2. General
Organization</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; TPAC, IIW</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/Planning_for_TPAC_Open_Day">
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/Planning_for_TPAC_Open_Day</a></p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; TPAC?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; I imagine go a
few...</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Hoping to have an
"Open Day"</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; but it conflicts
with OAuth/OpenID Summit, which is also on Monday 2nd.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> you are scribing?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; This is at
Yahoo.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; do you have a URL
for the openid oauth summit?</p>
<p class='phone'>I'm happy if you are.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://openid.eventbrite.com/">http://openid.eventbrite.com/</a></p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Petef - please
scribe!</p>
<p class='phone'>OK</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster</cite>&gt; petef, hhalpin
likes to type up everything he says to prevent himself from
being misquoted.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; I try to type dates
and stuff...</p>
<p class='phone'>dka my initial view was we should have the
open day anyway</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>evanpro</cite>&gt; Seems like there'd
be great synergy to have them complementary events</p>
<p class='phone'>[please tell me if I am missing scribing
protocol]</p>
<p class='phone'>dka but now think maybe we should cancel the
openday</p>
<p class='phone'>and work with the openid thing</p>
<p class='phone'>thanks guys</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> should we just forget about
it?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> how about Tue at the
Marriot?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; Well I can get Sun
on Tuesday too</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; what about later in
the week?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> not too many people
registered</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> we could invite people to
observe our working group<br />
... unless we could get externally parties in to present, like
on the calls</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> we could invite people
Michelle Adamic (sp?) has a list of names we could invite</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; many apologies but
what about having Open Day on another day?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; later in week?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>evanpro</cite>&gt; two days close
together please</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>evanpro</cite>&gt; I would attend if
both events were close together</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>evanpro</cite>&gt; A week apart makes
things hard for out-of-towners</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; Henry</p>
<p class='phone'>Thanks</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; So the question is
how many people would be able to come on Monday?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>henry:</cite> it's only an openid
meeting, we aren't expecting any new announcements</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; there are three
confilcting events</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; My concern was
two-fold: first, conflicting events might be misinterpreted by
OpenID/OAuth folks</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; there is Apache
conf</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; there is IIW</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; New proposal: what
about having an Open Day when there are not conflicting
events?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; there is W3C
conf</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Any ideas?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; early Dec?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; I mean completely
separate</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>cperey:</cite> I could take an action
item to propose other dates at anoher location, not TPAC</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; ok, then the
problem is that a lot of people won't be out there</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; anymore</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> I won't be out in the Bay
area again for a while<br />
... part of the idea of doing it at TPAC was to leverage
people's attendance<br />
... could we do a hybrid event with the openid folk?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; sounds good too</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> half a day on each<br />
... is that a middle way that would satisfy everybody?<br />
... if so we could start drafting a page around that and get it
out to people</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; My question is can
we just get these people to get to TPAC - i.e. TPAC into an
"open day"</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Assuming very few
people are coming</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; I think I agree
with that</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; how many people can
come to OpenDay?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> concerned that we may not be
able to network a largish event at short notice</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; the IIW will be all
week?</p>
<p class='phone'>hhalpin?: won't people also be attending
IIW?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; sorry I mean they
will be all week</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> we want to make sure we
aren't stepping on any toes<br />
... seen as trying to put on a competing event<br />
... but if we could get some CTOs and mktg consultants into
TPAc that would be good</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> we need to move on</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; yep, meeting
after</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; henry you are
breaking up</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>evanpro</cite>&gt; petef, 514-554-3826
== me</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; haha!</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster</cite>&gt; danbri: we're not
in 2994.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> evan is on the line, let's
make the most of his time</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> I'm enjoying
listening</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster</cite>&gt; we're in 26632</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Adam</cite>&gt; 26632 is the new code
dan</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> we'll go straight to... the
invited guests</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; 3. Invited Guest -
Evan Prodromou from OpenMicroBlogging and Alex Passant on
Semantic Microblogging</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Evan?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>evanpro</cite>&gt; I'm here</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Evan Prodromou of
OpenMicroblogging will give a talk on his work on
OpenMicroblogging (see the specification) and its connection to
the wider Social Web ecoystem</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> hopefully evanpro can give
us an interesting introduction to OMB</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> a conjunction of openid,
oauth and swxg would be enough to get me out to CA<br />
... I am the inventor and shepherd of OMB<br />
... bg on myself - working on open source and content for 15
yrs</p>
<p class='phone'>esp wikitravel</p>
<p class='phone'>around issues of identity</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://evan.prodromou.name/">http://evan.prodromou.name/</a></p>
<p class='phone'>briefly on JSF Council</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://identi.ca/evan">http://identi.ca/evan</a></p>
<p class='phone'>with the launch of Twitter in 2007</p>
<p class='phone'>there was an expolsion of interest in OMB</p>
<p class='phone'>defined as exchange of small text message with
your social network</p>
<p class='phone'>twitter, jaiku, pownce etc.</p>
<p class='phone'>contrast to blogging , tumblelogs and social
bookmarking</p>
<p class='phone'>people seem to enjoy OMB and the
responsiveness of it</p>
<p class='phone'>as the growth of witter got ahead of their
ability to support it</p>
<p class='phone'>interest grew in the evolution of an open
standard for microblogging (OMB)</p>
<p class='phone'>seeing as noone else was doing it I thought I
would set up an easy hack</p>
<p class='phone'>federated</p>
<p class='phone'>started laconica in May 2008, hosting
identi.ca</p>
<p class='phone'>includes features important to the future of
the open social web</p>
<p class='phone'>openid, foaf, import and export of data</p>
<p class='phone'>you can take the identi.ca source and install
it in silo</p>
<p class='phone'>so decided to create a protocol</p>
<p class='phone'>my design criteria were</p>
<p class='phone'>http based system</p>
<p class='phone'>tend to go for the low end on servers</p>
<p class='phone'>so that you could install a node on commodity
shared hosting</p>
<p class='phone'>wanted it to work with openid and oauth</p>
<p class='phone'>and to be realtively easy to implement with
existing tools and libraries</p>
<p class='phone'>flirted with openid attrib exchange</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; cf <a href=
"http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-exchange-1_0.html">http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-exchange-1_0.html</a></p>
<p class='phone'>but the mechanics don't allow pushing and
pulling to other openid servers</p>
<p class='phone'>so wouldn't really work</p>
<p class='phone'>instead used oauth</p>
<p class='phone'>subscribing to somebody's notices means that
you authorise another server to push to your inbox</p>
<p class='phone'>four players:</p>
<p class='phone'>publisher, subscriber, publiher-server,
subscriber-server</p>
<p class='phone'>profiles within OMB are http urls</p>
<p class='phone'>subscriber provides their url to the publisher
server</p>
<p class='phone'>which uses oauth discovery</p>
<p class='phone'>still very fluid</p>
<p class='phone'>OMB uses XRD simple files</p>
<p class='phone'>draft since deprecated for LRDD</p>
<p class='phone'>will share links later</p>
<p class='phone'>use oauth discovery to find endpoints</p>
<p class='phone'>two additional endpoints are defined</p>
<p class='phone'>the user experience is to go through the
typically oauth dance</p>
<p class='phone'>token exchange</p>
<p class='phone'>unlike some other pubsub mechanisms</p>
<p class='phone'>there's an expectation that I should know who
subscribes to my feed</p>
<p class='phone'>closer relationship</p>
<p class='phone'>pass along profile info in oauth dance</p>
<p class='phone'>avatar, full name, location, homepage, short
bio</p>
<p class='phone'>via http post params</p>
<p class='phone'>once sub complete</p>
<p class='phone'>the two additional endpoints are used</p>
<p class='phone'>push based (unlike atom or rss)</p>
<p class='phone'>no polling</p>
<p class='phone'>good responsiveness, better performance</p>
<p class='phone'>post notice endpoint</p>
<p class='phone'>used by pulisher server</p>
<p class='phone'>profile update endpoint</p>
<p class='phone'>used if publisher profile chganges</p>
<p class='phone'>any kind of client to server api is out of
scope</p>
<p class='phone'>laconica (now called status net) uses a clone
of the twitter api</p>
<p class='phone'>also working on an atompub version</p>
<p class='phone'>any kind of syntax def'n is also out of
scope</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Adam</cite>&gt; the pub/sub
explanation sounds very similar to pubsubhubhub</p>
<p class='phone'>just pushes plain text</p>
<p class='phone'>hashtags #foo and directed messages @bar are
not defined in OMB</p>
<p class='phone'>0.1 protocol has been fairly successful</p>
<p class='phone'>thousands of nodes on the network</p>
<p class='phone'>important weaknesses</p>
<p class='phone'>no system for unsolicited notices</p>
<p class='phone'>if you aren't subscribed to me no way for me
to message you</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; Adam, it sort of
is, but there's no hub per se. Updates are pushed from
publisher server to subscriber server.</p>
<p class='phone'>parsing syntax left out which means the
hashtags and replies have to be guessed at</p>
<p class='phone'>threading questions across multiple
servers</p>
<p class='phone'>no threading bult in</p>
<p class='phone'>no direct private messages eiother</p>
<p class='phone'>low level thing, in oauth two kinds of keys -
one to identify a particular conversation and one for th
sending server -</p>
<p class='phone'>OMB actually uses the root URL of the sending
server</p>
<p class='phone'>hard to verify in the client</p>
<p class='phone'>I'd like to talk about where we are going with
OMB 0.2</p>
<p class='phone'>four other implementations:</p>
<p class='phone'>openmicroblogger, jaiku (at 0.2), etc.</p>
<p class='phone'>for 0.2 biggest change is move away from plain
text to atom entries for pushing notices</p>
<p class='phone'>richer data format</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>DKA</cite>&gt; NB: In Vodafone we are
already using laconi.ca for an internal microblog system and we
are looking at using it as a platform for building mobile
social network prototype apps.</p>
<p class='phone'>we'll also e able to leverage work around
activitystreams</p>
<p class='phone'>which is also atom based</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://activitystrea.ms/">http://activitystrea.ms/</a></p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; (aside: they're
moving this to be equally atom and json)</p>
<p class='phone'>second important thing is we will include
parsed html</p>
<p class='phone'>some security issues obviously</p>
<p class='phone'>will require sanitizing</p>
<p class='phone'>but good step for usability</p>
<p class='phone'>adding in-reply-to info</p>
<p class='phone'>will improve threading</p>
<p class='phone'>@xyz will resolve to an identity url for the
recipient</p>
<p class='phone'>that will travel with the packet</p>
<p class='phone'>replacing oauth discovery with LRDD</p>
<p class='phone'>support for unsolicited messages</p>
<p class='phone'>in protocol, up to clients what they do with
it</p>
<p class='phone'>proposal to provision verifiable user keys</p>
<p class='phone'>[tinkster I'll get it right eventually]</p>
<p class='phone'>we want something interoperable by the end of
the year</p>
<p class='phone'>relation to openid</p>
<p class='phone'>OMB identity is an URL</p>
<p class='phone'>use YADIS</p>
<p class='phone'>want to make sure we mesh nicely with
openid</p>
<p class='phone'>two new feed based systems announced</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; bradfitz</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; fitzpatrick</p>
<p class='phone'>pubsubhubbub</p>
<p class='phone'>atom based</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubSubHubbub">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubSubHubbub</a></p>
<p class='phone'>and rsscloud</p>
<p class='phone'>embedded into rss 2.0 but never really
implemented</p>
<p class='phone'>now being revived</p>
<p class='phone'>neither supports feeding back subscriber
relation to publisher</p>
<p class='phone'>we are implementing both of these and trying
to work with the standards to add in subscriber publisher
feedback</p>
<p class='phone'>activity streams - the hard part will be the
unification between AS, atom and opensocial</p>
<p class='phone'>always wanted http based system</p>
<p class='phone'>but would also like an upshift to xmpp based
if both servers support it</p>
<p class='phone'>well known protocol, very nice pubsub
system</p>
<p class='phone'>some work done to adapt it for OMB</p>
<p class='phone'>looking into that</p>
<p class='phone'>stubs for that in 0.2</p>
<p class='phone'>discovery process over the next few months</p>
<p class='phone'>+q</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Zakim</cite>&gt; danbri, you wanted to
ask if anyone has done usability testing on OMB remote
subscription scenarios</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; peterf first</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>petef:</cite> have you looked at
wave-protocol in relation to OM</p>
<p class='phone'>B</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> v. intersting but ow it
will fit into OMB is still open</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; ok i fixed my audio,
i'm next on queue please :)</p>
<p class='phone'>for low end target systems wave won't be
available for quite a while</p>
<p class='phone'>whether it picks up as ubiquitous will be
interesting</p>
<p class='phone'>my hope is that it does see some success</p>
<p class='phone'>don't think the current generation fits well
with OMB</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; yes</p>
<p class='phone'>interested in wave and how it develops</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; no longer
audible</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>rreck</cite>&gt; you were audiable</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>DKA</cite>&gt; losing part of danbri's
speech</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; q:</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; have you done any
usability testing</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; esp on remote
subscribe aspects of OMB</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; do users understand
what's going on, etc</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> usability testing -
pretty important usability problems</p>
<p class='phone'>v. similar to usability problems for
openid</p>
<p class='phone'>mechanism is very similar</p>
<p class='phone'>I need to remember my identity url</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; cf <a href=
"http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-user-experience/">http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-user-experience/</a></p>
<p class='phone'>and provide it to remote servers which use it
to start a conversation on the back end</p>
<p class='phone'>we haven't done much work on that</p>
<p class='phone'>hopwe we can borrow from openid world</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; i'm interested to
see more work figuring out how much implies protocol design
changes, and how much can be done with improved web design,
addons etc</p>
<p class='phone'>widgets and keeping an eye on webfinger</p>

<p class='phone'>and urls with docs</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; thanks evanpro, ...
i think webfinger pretty relevant here</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; <a href=

<p class='phone'>webfinger also nice simple way to include

<p class='phone'>could also happen with a global directory,

<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Zakim</cite>&gt; AlexPassant, you
wanted to discuss synergies with SMOB / SIOC and other
vocabs</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; skypish sounds</p>
<p class='phone'>alex(?): very brief overview of SMOB (audio
not clear)</p>
<p class='phone'>wondering how it relates to OMB</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; Alex, StatusNet
already published FOAF, RSS and SIOC data.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>AlexPassant</cite>&gt; SMOB: <a href=
"http://smob.sioc-project.org/">http://smob.sioc-project.org/</a></p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> we support sioc(?)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; s/shark/SIOC/</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; SIOC is pronounced
like Shark, yes</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; (irish word)</p>
<p class='phone'>doesn't address server to server mechanism</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>CaptSolo</cite>&gt; danbri: commonly
pronounced as "shock"</p>
<p class='phone'>similar to smtp</p>
<p class='phone'>SMOB does a good job of keeping your published
info and pushing it out</p>
<p class='phone'>but not really server to server
interaction</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; (shark is commonly
pronounced 'shock' in some countries too ;)</p>
<p class='phone'>wouldn't be a big leap to implement OMB in
SMOB</p>
<p class='phone'>would be very welcome</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>CaptSolo</cite>&gt; danbri: the proper
irish pronounciation is similar to "shuck" and means frost
(imagine social networks connecting together like snowflakes or
frost on a window)</p>
<p class='phone'>OMB doesn't (yet) cover sharing the social
graph</p>
<p class='phone'>you can use other mechanisms, through FOAF
say,</p>

<p class='phone'>might be nice to promote it or provide an
url</p>
<p class='phone'>as part of profile info passed through</p>
<p class='phone'>SMOB is cool, would love to see it brought
together with OMB</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>alex:</cite> more than happy to work
together</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> one of our devs took the
OMB stuff out of staus net and turned it into a WP plugin and a
PHP library</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; you're breaking
up</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; did we have DKA's
question yet?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> how are you using
FOAF?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>DKA</cite>&gt; nope</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>DKA</cite>&gt; :)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; w: are you making
use of foaf to do something</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://identi.ca/tobyink/foaf">http://identi.ca/tobyink/foaf</a></p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> we provided FOAF info
and use FOAF ids in graph</p>
<p class='phone'>toby has been great in helping us implement
that and the SIOC stuff better</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; try putting <a href=
"http://identi.ca/danbri">http://identi.ca/danbri</a> into
<a href=
"http://socialgraph-resources.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/exploreapi.html">
http://socialgraph-resources.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/exploreapi.html</a></p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; google sgapi indexes
identi.ca foaf</p>
<p class='phone'>Could use FOAF for profile exchange in OMB</p>
<p class='phone'>makes more sense for discovery and so
usability</p>
<p class='phone'>who should I follow?</p>
<p class='phone'>who might I kalready know?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; poss foaf use cases
'what kind of people should i be subscribing to, who sohuld i
follow, who is there that i know, ...'</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; (i think also around
groups, ...)</p>
<p class='phone'>groups is another great case</p>
<p class='phone'>there's going to be a close interaction
between OMB and FOAF</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; SELECT ?person
WHERE { ?me subscribesTo ?x , ?y . ?x subscribesTo ?person . ?y
subscribesTo ?person . FILTER (?x != ?y) }</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; evanpro, if there
are tweaks you need to foaf to support any of these use cases,
... that's not so hard to arrange!</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> we are limited on time</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; i've already had a
question so i'll take it to email!</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; a-</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> are you thinking about
making lcation part of the platform</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; (my q was basically

http://lists.status.net/pipermail/statusnet-dev/2009-August/002117.html</a>
again)</p>
<p class='phone'>one reason many of us use Jaiku is the
sophisticated support for location</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> fascinating that we are
reintroducing location to the web</p>
<p class='phone'>in OMB 0.1 we only have a points tring
associated with a profile</p>
<p class='phone'>if I update it, that can change (but would be
lost)</p>
<p class='phone'>making changes to staus net to support a
richer more machine friendly location format</p>
<p class='phone'>will be out in 0.9 later this month</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster1</cite>&gt; geonames
IIRC?</p>
<p class='phone'>lat long and geo place name vocab</p>
<p class='phone'>where on earth, geonames, OSM</p>
<p class='phone'>we will also include location info for each
notice</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>AlexPassant</cite>&gt; sounds along
the lines of the linkage we're doing in SMOB with geonames and
DBpedia, great synergies</p>
<p class='phone'>would make sense to get it into OMB 0.2</p>
<p class='phone'>optional but important</p>
<p class='phone'>moving to atom - should be easily included in
atom entries</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; (<a href=

seems interesting to poke around...)</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>evanpro:</cite> would love to attend
open day, thanks for having me on the call</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; evanpro - will stay
in touch via e-mail, and thanks so much for being on call!</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> thank you</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>danbri</cite>&gt; thanks evanpro!</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>dka:</cite> we have to close the call
now<br />
... we need tocome up with a plan for the openday offline by
tomorrow<br />
... how to mesh with SWXG workshop, openid and oauth</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Oh, can we have an
ACTION by someone</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; to summarize that
call?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>pchampin</cite>&gt; bye</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>AlexPassant</cite>&gt; thanks, bye</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tinkster</cite>&gt; I can
