## Intros
piet: sitting beside mix in Wellington NZ. been working with mix and ahdinosaur. been lurking on patchwork for a while. Spent the last year teaching js.
mix : Hi I'm mix, calling from Wellington New Zealand. I'm working on patchbay and some of the hyper.. tools around it at the moment. I'm a dev and currenlty teaching devs
cryptix: currently in .ch for wagelabor until friday.!!
noffle: Oakland, CA; hacking out of the Impact Hub today /w digital democracy folks. First time on the ssb call!
emery: berlin, working on IMAP to SSB, and maybe some binary package management. First time in the call
matt: Also from Wellington, NZ. Did some stuff with webtorrent and ssb a while back and made a peer to peer soundcloud called ferment. I have a cat on my chest.
dominic: I live on a sailboat in auckland and work on ssb.
g: working on Decent with @ev, hosted @mil3s in Mexico City, working on onboarding people who are new to code/don't code at all
## Gossip Schedule?!
ev: replication issues (delays, ...), test setup: 2pubs, 2local clients + lots of lites
replication testing locally. Seeing some really slow replication from local to pubs(45 mins)
Could be the long term clients aren't communicating
Wishlist:
- mix: better network diagnostics page (cr:+1)
- mix: range of different pubs (out of date)
- mix: sbot sleeping + waking up better (from computer sleep, from wifi fluctuations) (cr+1)
- dominic: testing by simulating posting with predictable timesteps (cr:+1)
- dominic: ability for sbot to know when connection has failed
- a pony
Actions: Dominic and ev working on gossip schedule problem
## Decent?
ev: a walkabout project, brings everything into one repo.
Nothing to move upsteam yet, but moving things downstream has been interesting.
D: what kinda changes have you made
ev: just ripping stuff out !
ev: social side effect - doing a lot of onboarding, and have been feeling weird about dropping people into the network.
D: we need privacy to be able to know how people will receive / understand our opinions. This is a motivation for group private messages
ev: notice some stage-fright when people land in the broad community.
piet : ~isn't popping filter bubbles important
ev: would be nice for politics to not be so involved, communism has been caused a bunch of problems
D: spectrum of pol. _beliefs(?)_.
mix: what about we have a slider for tightness of filter view
matt: I did that in pw-next, it was only 1-degree friendship
matt: lets differentiate between replication and displaying posts
## Robeson
Action: Dominic will reach out to this person and explain what could be done differently + better, invite him to call.
## traffic
defer to after
Cryptix : adding byts sent / received to page (dominic will help)
## imap<>ssb
Emry I want emails to dump into IMAP folders, then from there into the network.
Make a feed for the daemon
q : encryption
q : can I just add the email headers to the messages I post
(received, from , to, +miscellaneous stuff)
cryptix : I think you can throw whateve JSON into the boxing
D : currently you box enxrypt JSON objects, but do you want plain text outside the messages.
E : I just want to use patchwork as my email client
C : I think cel would be interested in this
E : I don't want to worry about storing the messages
Phew - best checkout ever.
Thanks.
