【Re: Friendly reminder #ActivityPub protocol development will go back behind permissioned closed doors (unless you pay w3c or are deemed an invited expert) doors at w3c in the near future.】

I'm confused about it, because the move to closed door meetings is concerning. It's not that I fear I won't be invited β€” I'm certain if I asked I would be β€” but that SocialCG meetings have been quite divorced from the actual developers, and this move cements this somewhat.


Of course this could also just be a formality as the group moves from CG to WG.


What of the task forces, do they continue? I've been working on a task force under the CG banner ...


Some lingering questions
@evan@cosocial.ca @darius@friend.camp (whose name is on the new charter?)

@julian@activitypub.space @bengo@mastodon.social @darius@friend.camp task forces continue. We'll use a staging process; most work will continue in the CG. There was a great session in the last CG meeting about this.
