Yesterday was #Juneteenth, a holiday I hadn’t heard of before this June. Read a bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth Grateful @Mozilla closed that day. Thanks @GavinNewsom https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1274043072045813760 Please make it an official paid state holiday like TX VA NY PA (per Wikipedia). https://www.gov.ca.gov/2020/06/19/governor-newsom-issues-proclamation-declaring-juneteenth-day-of-observance-2/

@w3cdevs @mozilla Thanks @frivoal @TzviyaSiegman! Honored to rejoin you @W3CAB with Tatsuya Igarashi, @daithesong, @fantasai, Avneesh Singh, Eric Siow, @LeonieWatson, @cwilso, & Judy Zhu. Auspicious times. Protests worldwide declare Black Lives Matter; as elected leaders we must ask uncomfortable questions about privilege & institutional biases @W3C. When I was last on the Advisory Board (AB), I asked W3C Management (W3M) to provide a report on diversity of W3C, and in 2018 gender & geographic barcharts over time were provided for the AB, TAG, and W3M: https://www.w3.org/blog/2018/06/diversity-at-w3c-launch-of-tpac-diversity-scholarship/ We must provide more details and do better. For example, what percentage of the AB, TAG, and W3M are white? As far as I know, these W3C leadership groups lack even a single Black individual. How many (if any) are in the Advisory Committee as a whole? If W3C truly represents the interests of world-wide web standards, it’s long past time to ask these and other uncomfortable questions about who holds positions of authority & power @W3C. We must have the courage to ask them, and keep asking them, and actively work to dismantle systemic biases.

@solarpunk_girl really like this! Need to replace & move beyond violent metaphors for common activities. Working on a longer post on this. Another idea, playing on stone: “Feeding two birds with one stonefruit” Summer is coming. #moralimaginations

Ten years ago today I started working with Mozilla on #webStandards. https://tantek.com/2010/146/t1/work-with-mozilla-advancing-web-standards https://twitter.com/t/status/14764431903 Still @Mozilla (now @W3C AC Rep), still working for a more #OpenWeb, and for an #IndieWeb that puts users in control instead of #BigTech.

There are systems of division, dominance, extraction, & growth, and systems of solidarity, community, stewardship, & sustainability. Each has metaphors & narratives, in everyday language & framing. Which systems shape your thoughts, words, and actions?

@solarpunk_girl yes! Gardening & farming are ripe with metaphors for #NewNarratives. Also considering sourcing from cooking, baking, and toolmaking. New story arcs for the #NewPossible. #DontGoBackToNormal

Spent the day inside (except to move my car) until leaving 10 minutes to midnight for a night run. Started tracking at Frederick & Ashbury, an empty intersection, lights out except the corner 2nd floor apartment(1). Empty to the East as well, up to the dark trees of Buena Vista Park, outlined by a gray sky above(2). Continued onward to spell NO FEAR on the streets (https://tantek.com/t55q1). #run #runner #AshburyHeights #FrederickStreet #night #nightrun #midnight #darkness #empty #ShelterInPlace #COVID19 #CoronaVirus #SFdistancing #SF #SanFrancisco #optOutside #fromWhereIRun #NeverStopExploring #InstaRunner #2020_088 #20200328 #laterGram #noFilter

Yesterday @moral_imagining, @solarpunk_girl asked us to tell a story of this time, from the future. I wrote this (edited) There was so much fear As we started sheltering we felt safer and yet more lonely Venturing outside, it was so quiet Fewer cars, fewer machines making noises Even in the city, we heard nature’s sounds from the crows to the parrots We closed streets to cars, welcoming runners, hikers, bicyclists Without cars, without their noise & pollution, more animals wandered near us. Coyotes, birds, rabbits, squirrels Even red tailed hawks swooped near the ground, showing off the bright tops of their tailfeathers Strangers started to greet strangers, as they passed each other at a distance, Maybe a smile, a nod, a wave, a hello, perhaps a brief exchange of greetings, well wishes, introductions to pets Slowly, our sense of fear transformed into a sense of solidarity

@solarpunk_girl good questions; been pondering these and others since last Friday’s @moral_imagining. Urban planning & home architecture implications, autonomy vs community, evolution vs resilience. Some history/analyses: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/the-nuclear-family-was-a-mistake/605536/ One thought: upgrading homes to support multi-generational configurations may be a good distributed return, actionable without requiring coordination, yet mutually beneficial among incrementally participating families.

He was shot on 2/23 for jogging while black. The video is horrifying. #BlackLivesMatter because how is this still happening in 2020. #IRunWithMaud This weekend #RunWithMaud in solidarity. If you’re in SF, you can start at Haight & Ashbury, run up Ashbury until it merges with Clayton, turn up Twin Peaks Boulevard, and turn around a bit after the first major turn, before the hairpin turn(2,3), running back down to Haight & Ashbury to complete 2.23 miles.

From a strict interpretation, in the W3C at least, a specification must be at least a publicly published Working Draft (WD) by an active Working Group (WG) to be on an official "standards track", and thus that should be our condition for explicitly labeling a technology in a W3C document as "standards track". At a minimum a specification must be accepted into a WG’s charter, and not just as a NOTE, in order to qualify to be standards track. However it’s not actually on that track (and citable as such) per se until the WG has agreed to publish it publicly as a WD. By at least a WD, I’m explicitly saying yes it can also obviously be a Candidate Recommendation (CR), Proposed Recommendation (PR), or Recommedation (REC, or edited, or amended). If it’s an Obsolete Recommendation we should use the "Obsolete" label. If it’s only in an Editor’s Draft or a WD (before a CR), that would be reasonable to label as "Experimental", as anything that’s not yet in a CR can "Expect behavior to change in the future." If a document is for example only developed in a Community Group (CG) such as WICG, it is not standards track (CGs cannot make standards), and thus we should explicitly label any technologies there as "Non-standard", until such document makes its way into a WG and the WG publishes it as a WD, therefore publicly signaling that the WG has agreed to advance it onto the standards track. For IETF and other orgs, I’ll let others chime in about what state a document must be in to transition between "non-standard" and "experimental" and "standards track", or "obsolete".

Ten years ago the death of Blogger FTP two days before inspired introducing “the indie web” as a definite noun phrase: > Blogger turned off FTP May 1st [2010] Who/what will step up for the indie web? http://tantek.com/2010/123/t2/blogger-turned-off-ftp-what-indie-web-diso (https://twitter.com/t/status/13329370781) “The indie web” was a name given to the collective us that used and still uses our domains for our actively independent web presence, a practice Blogger FTP helped enable for many years, for many people. Our sites worked (were at least viewable) without requiring (truly independent of) another web site or service being actively up & running. Blogger FTP was a nice-to-have, even if/when it was down, your site and permalinks were still browsable, and you could still manually FTP and edit your site, your blog, on whatever generic web hosting service you were using. You could migrate your blog by FTPing your static storage files from one web host to another. Without any database export/import/(re)configuration. Subsequently of course https://indiewebcamp.com/ was founded, eventually (and currently) https://indieweb.org/, recognizing a pre-existing practice by naming it and giving it a community focus. A community to discover & find each other, to actively collaborate, building on each other’s ideas & building blocks, evolving our sites, innovating the practical peer-to-peer web with a plurality of approaches, designs, interoperable implementations, and sustainable solutions.
