Two anniversaries today: microformats (18y) and POSSE (11y). Happy 18 years of https://microformats.org/ #microformats! Most prominent this past year (again) has been the littlest #microformat that could: rel=me — AKA #relMe, now effectively the standard for #distributed #verification on the web: * https://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me (originally introduced in 2004^1) with support added in the past year for: * #GitHub multiple rel-me links^2 * #Wikipedia User page rel-me link^3 https://indieweb.org/images/6/6a/fit-into-the-network.png (Figure out how you want to fit into the network.) https://indieweb.org/POSSE #POSSE, short for “Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”, as a term of use is now 11 years old^4, which is surprising since when it was conceived, the #IndieWeb community was in a period of very rapid innovation & iteration. POSSE itself replaced a previous term, "POSE", short for “Publish Once Syndicate Everywhere”, which had only been around a year or two at most (I’m still looking for the first use of the "POSE" abbreviation for that meaning). Since “publish once” was vague enough to include practices of publishing once on a social media silo, or in someone else’s garage^5, we needed to clearly express the requirement to use your own site instead, first, as the source of your truth. Cross-posting to other sites & channels, is a second, optional step, ideally with a permalink linking back to your original post so viewers can easily discover and use your site. That distinction was enough for POSSE to express a strong creator-owned-first publishing model that resonated and grew. Every time a silo shutdown^6 at the end of its incredible journey^7, removing posts & permalinks from the web, POSSE was there for people who were tired of losing their data, permalinks, & profiles, and wanted an alternative.

@renegadejade@hachyderm.io in short, yes, it is a thing! Lots of great replies to your post already about directly using #WithKnown or #WordPress with the #ActivityPub plugin, or cross-posting from/via GitHub. Another #IndieWeb compatible option is Bridgy Fed (https://fed.brid.gy/) which can proxy posts, replies, likes etc. directly from a blog to #fediverse / ActivityPub (no #Mastodon account needed). Details: https://fed.brid.gy/docs This very reply to your toot is from my own domain, and its #hashtags are also discoverable via fediverse hashtags. I set up #BridgyFed last October^1 along with the broader #TwitterMigration I saw happening in my circles, and am quite happy with it. Posted more about my experience after a few months^2, and using BridgyFed to add a fediverse follow form to my homepage^3. Whether WordPress, Known, or with another blog setup & Bridgy Fed, pick what works best for you and your setup. There’s #IndieWeb folks using each, feel free to drop by https://chat.indieweb.org/dev to chat more about any IndieWeb/fediverse option! ^1 https://tantek.com/2022/301/t1/twittermigration-bridgyfed-mastodon-indieweb ^2 https://tantek.com/2023/008/t7/bridgy-indieweb-posse-backfeed ^3 https://tantek.com/2023/020/t2/bridgy-fed-follow-form

If you added a #Mastodon / #ActivityPub follow form to your #IndieWeb site based on Bridgy Fed (e.g. using code/instructions I previously posted^1), you need to update it to add another invisible input element for the "protocol", e.g.: <input name="protocol" type="hidden" value="web" /> Otherwise people trying to use your form to follow you may see an error from #BridgyFed like: > Bad Request > Missing required parameter protocol Here is the complete example that I posted previously with the new invisible input: <form method="post" action="https://fed.brid.gy/remote-follow"> <label for="follow-address">🐘 Follow <kbd>@tantek.com@tantek.com</kbd>:<br /> enter your @-@ fediverse address:</label> <input id="follow-address" name="address" type="text" required="required" placeholder="@you@instance.social" title="Type your @-@ address" value="" /> <input name="domain" type="hidden" value="tantek.com" /> <input name="protocol" type="hidden" value="web" /> <button type="submit">Follow</button> </form> I also updated that previous post with the new input in case people find that instead.

Ran my 11th #BayToBreakers in 1:47:11 on Sunday 2023-05-21, again the day after an @sfrunco.com (@SFRunCo) Saturday trail #run, but this time in the middle of a very long training run, my last before the rescheduled #MUC50k trail race. Ran over 4 miles to the start, hopped in the next race corral, ran Bay to Breakers with the colorfully costumed crowd, picked up my medal, ate a banana, ran back through Golden Gate Park, and then a bit more up city hills to round out 18 miles and 1000'. #2023_141 #SanFrancisco #runner 2022: https://tantek.com/2022/138/t1/ran-baytobreakers

@jeremiahlee.com (@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold) you’re right that the #IndieWeb is more of a movement. It’s a community based on shared values & principles^1, one of which is plurality^2, explicitly prioritizing interoperability over any “particular piece of technology”. As to “subdomains as usernames using #ActivityPub?”, myself and others are using our (sub)domains as usernames, e.g. via the #BridgyFed service^3. Mine should be self-evident in the header of this post wherever you’re reading #fediverse posts. Completely agree that “a link that also works as a mention name is obvious / intuitable”, have been practicing that for a while, and wrote up some notes about how & why: * https://tantek.com/2023/011/t1/indieweb-evolving-at-mention * https://tantek.com/2023/014/t4/domain-first-federated-atmention * https://tantek.com/2023/018/t1/elevate-indieweb-above-silo * https://tantek.com/2023/019/t5/reply-domain-above-address-and-silo which I should organize into a longer blog post at some point. ^1 https://indieweb.org/principles ^2 https://indieweb.org/plurality ^3 https://indieweb.org/Bridgy_Fed#IndieWeb_Examples

Thanks for the FO Council experiments reports citations https://github.com/frivoal. > https://www.w3.org/2023/03/council-ttwg-report.html > https://www.w3.org/2022/11/council-das-report.html These two make it clear that Tim Berners-Lee was a member of at least two FO Council experiments, despite not participating in their final decisions. From these examples, we retract the premise of the second paragraph of this issue that "We believe the opposite was intended", and thus also the specific fix in that paragraph. We still think it would be better for the W3C Process for any "life member" of any group to be a non-voting member at most, however we will raise a separate new issue for that for consideration in the normal workflow of triaging & handling Process CG issues. Given the resolution of the semantics of the first two paragraphs for this issue, no Pull Request (PR) is necessary for those. For the remaining "consistency and to reduce the chance of confusion" point, as noted, that can go in a separate purely editorial issue/PR and is thus unnecessary to resolve this specific issue. Ok to close this issue without waiting for those separate issues/PRs to be filed.

Thanks https://github.com/fantasai, despite multiple reviews, somehow missed that https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/Drafts/snapshots/2023-04#groups line: > … and a participant is a member of such a group. This resolves the semantics of the first paragraph of this issue as invalid, leaving only potential editorial confusion from the use of multiple terms for the same thing, which is not a MUSTFIX (issue title adjusted accordingly).

s/agenda bashing/agenda gardening/g Replace all uses of “agenda bashing” with “agenda gardening”, e.g. in group meetings. Language matters, metaphors affect framing and reinforce values. Replacing violent metaphors with caring or at least non-violent expressions can help create a more constructive context. Recommended this particular replacement yesterday during day 2 of our #W3C Advisory Board (@ab@w3c.social^1 @w3cab) meeting, after the #W3CAC meeting earlier this week. It’s a small change, yet maybe it will inspire others. Previously: https://tantek.com/2018/365/t3/december-too-busy-post-days ^1 Since the #W3CTAG (@tag@w3c.social @w3ctag) has an account on w3c.social, I figured the #W3CAB should too. Freshly created this week.

Three ways we openly document the governance of W3C: #w3cAB: As part of driving openness in the #W3C Advisory Board (AB) and W3C in general, when I joined the AB in 2013, I created a stub AB wiki page, and worked with the rest of the AB to expand it over time, to the present where it has quick navigation to both our tools and projects^1. #w3cBoD: Shortly after the W3C Board of Directors (BoD) was elected last year, I similarly created a Board wiki page, with quick navigation to meetings, minutes, and other publicly available Board resources^2. #w3cAC: Prior AB member Art Barstow created an AdvisoryCommittee (AC) wiki page in 2012. I expanded it in the past year with sections on Email Lists and Meetings to help make it easier (more discoverable) for AC representatives to participate & contribute to the governance of W3C^3. These are all good steps, but not complete by any measure. Collectively we can do better. Openness must go beyond finding & reading such resources. As these are all on the W3C’s public wiki, which any W3C member (or invited expert) may edit, my hope is that anyone involved with W3C may help update such pages, and further improve them. Encouraging this kind of direct participation in how an organization is run goes hand-in-hand with openness & transparency. ^1 https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB ^2 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Board ^3 https://www.w3.org/wiki/AdvisoryCommittee

Good morning from Sophia Antipolis, France, where myself and many other #W3C Advisory Committee (AC), Advisory Board (AB), & Board of Directors (BoD) members, and members of the W3C Team are here for two days of 2023 #w3cAC meetings^1. Lots of great presentations this morning. @cwilso.com (@cdub@mastodon.social @cwilso) is now providing an overview of the Advisory Board^2 and where we are with our 2023 Priority Projects^3, which are done for the most part in the open, on the wiki and GitHub. Our (AB) practice of developing our projects in the open for both W3C Members and the broader web community to see is something that myself and Chris Wilson (@cwilso.com) have been championing, leading, and driving since our first AB terms in 2013. We strongly believe in continuing this level of transparency (or better) in the #w3cAB, and there is more work to do on the AB to make this practice an institutional default at W3C, especially in matters of governance. Related: both Chris and I are running for re-election^4 for the Advisory Board, and this is one of the reasons we want your support to continue serving on the AB. ^1 https://web.archive.org/web/20230509090512/https://www.w3.org/participate/meetings ^2 https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB ^3 https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB/2023_Priorities ^4 https://tantek.com/2023/128/t1/w3c-advisory-board-election-support

I am running for election in this month’s #W3C (@w3.org @w3c@w3c.social @w3c) Advisory Board (AB) election^1 and blogged my personal statement: https://tantek.com/2023/128/b1/running-for-w3c-advisory-board-ab-election @fantasai.inkedblade.net (@fantasai@w3c.social @fantasai) is also running for the #W3CAB, and admirably blogged her imminent affiliation change *before* the election started: https://fantasai.inkedblade.net/weblog/2023/affiliation-change/ — Congrats Elika! Your new affiliation is lucky to have you. In addition to the two of us, @cwilso.com (@cdub@mastodon.social @cwilso) also posts on his own blog and is running for the AB. Those are the three candidates I know have their own personal #website, and was able to verify by searching for candidates on the web, #socialMedia, etc. Three out of the nine candidates^2 running for election to the World Wide Web Consortium’s Advisory Board. As I wrote in my statement: > “I believe governance of W3C, and advising thereof, is most effectively done by those … who directly use & create on the web using W3C standards. This direct connection to the actual work of the web and W3C is essential to prioritizing the purpose & scope of governance thereof.” I firmly believe that direct hands-on experience with using the web, beyond reading the web or using someone else’s apps, actually writing to the web, posting on the web, creating for the web, provides better insight into the technologies & standards necessary to evolve the web, how to improve them and represent the communities working on them. I ask for your support for the Advisory Board, and support for those who create on the web. If any other candidates have their own #IndieWeb site (or set one up!), and especially if they blog their personal statements, I will gladly link to them as well. Thanks for your consideration. ^1 https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9903 ^2 https://www.w3.org/2023/04/ab-nominations.html
