February 2025 Minutes
- The meeting was deferred a week due to Julian being out of the country, but this time conflicted with the Geosocial TF and perhaps it would be easier to just skip the month instead.
- Julian attempted developer outreach in the weeks leading up to FOSDEM (and at FOSDEM), specifically relating to FEP 7888 and resolvable contexts.
- Much of the feedback revolved around the perceived complexity of the FEP
- A separate attempt to focus more on outcomes (e.g. conversational backfill via 7888) led to more positive feedback
- This led to the desire to modify FEP 7888 away from being a (perceived) monolithic FEP into a general high-level introduction to utilising
contextto represent threaded discussions- 7888 would branch out into "child FEPs" that deal with more focused, technical aspects that implementors could pick and choose from.
- In addition to simpifying FEP 7888, the two next candidates for child FEPs would be:
- Followable objects (FEP-efda) which would lead to the ability for software to "subscribe" to topics for updates
- Conversational Contexts & Backfill (FEP TBD) which is self-explanatory
- A whiteboarding session to determine user stories and long-term FEP prioritiy planning was deferred to March 2025.
- A "resolvable contexts" office hours is planned for 17th February 2025 at 10h00 Eastern Standard Time
