#### Tim 

- I note the Communty group has started weekly [meeting](https://hackmd.io/Cu_RPgD3RsK-kAI1GTL1Qw)s
- John B and I keynoted the Wired conference in London yesterday
- Emmet was surprised when I suggested that apps would have to floow a link from webid to profile in ESS. 
- Opened a tedtalk on Solid. 
- Spreading awareness about Solid.
- Had our first community group meeting.
- Had mentioned WebID spec. Issue with WebID and interactions with OIDC.


#### Chase
- Looking into language translation


### Technical topics
#### Angelo Veltens: PodOS Image Presentation.
- Mid term goal to intergrate elements with SolidOS
- Link https://pod-os.github.io/PodOS/storybook/
- Github repo: https://github.com/pod-os/PodOS

#### Authentication Redirect: when you come back to a page 24 hours later, and the tokens are out of date, needs to refresh, is anyone working on this?
- Angelo: not sure if anyone is working on
- Timea: there are some bugs open related to it
- ACTION: Timea to heck status of redirect issue in auth lib.

#### Timea: Presentation on SolidOS over the past year
- Team has grown 62% in past year
- The code has seen a LOT of work over the past year. Mashlib has had 12 releases and 84 commits in past year; solid-ui had 12 releases, and 236 commits; solid-logic had 6 releases and 160 commits
- Lots of miscellaneous accomplishments, like CI, discovery code, authentication upgrade to DPOP, etc., and especially team culture building
- Timea: Anything else?
- Jeff: Also WebID profile. Timea, you've done a great job and brought great energy to this team
- Timea: remember our Miro board, we should take a look at it again, and see if we want to keep using it for planning. Any other suggestions for how to plan?
- Tim: We could look at how the Miro board competes with the roadmap (bunch of roadmaps out there), we should review that, probably every month or so. Also need a list of Solid verticals (like healthcare), split out from the main project
    - We'll have a meeting to discuss planning, and tools used for planning
- ACTION Timea: to think about it and prepare for a planning meeting, structure, topic points to make sure we can be efficient with our time. (focus)

#### Languages
- Tim: Note there is language.ts in solid-ui
- Chase: the meeting with Sharon was to checkout my errors. I want to meet with her to figure it out. It would help me to than tackle the problems there. I want to see how profile and solid panes react. Because I have some ideas how to improve some stuff there.
- Chase: as far as languages, I want to understand what the feature does and what far it goes. I think I could conjure up something. I want to know more about a language spec. 
- Tim: the code is there but it is not documented - how to store your fav language in profile and preferences; and the way to use it. There is a function in language.ts that checks the user languages [?] and there is another one that filters alternative labels and puts them in order... You should just be able to call those functions in the middle of solid.ui. 
- Chase: can I do it on profile-pane? 
- Timea: yes, ...you need to look at language.ts file to see what you can do, documentation would be great, then figure out how to use it in profile-pane. Sharon should be able to help look at the file language.ts, and help decipher how to use it.
- Tim: Here is the [language.ts](https://github.com/SolidOS/solid-ui/blob/main/src/widgets/forms/autocomplete/language.ts)
- Chase: a direct private message in Gitter is the best way to reach me!
- Tim: ping me on Gitter when you try to figure it out. The language is complicated (wired with autocomplete with Wikidata, at own query different than other queries). We got 2/3 there but if it does not have it in your language it goes back to the DB, but we do not have this yet. 
- Tim: for Jeff this would be usefull to make ontologies multi-lingual. It does not involve a database only the ontology. 
- Jeff: does rdflib have anything special to filter by langauges ot I have to look at the labels?
- Tim: it is not a rdflib thing it is a logic thing for now in solid-ui, not rdflib -> does not do that. But maybe we coudl consider it.
- Jeff: you need ot look at the each langauge code and make determinatinos?
- Tim: at the language label yes. There is a label in solid.ui which just give you a label and one of teh interesting things there is just a label, it is used in a LOT of places, it is a default. When you put up a card for example. We could hack that label function. It could check if there is a session, if the store is connected to a login session and looking at the goal/language. Maybe do a hack, to make the label more sophisticated based on favorite language, use cached already.
- Jeff: it is in widget.label probably and it would be a great place to have it.

#### Chase: Need list of places where solid stuff is
- point to the other repos and organisations.
- if I am a newbie where should I be directed?
- where do I find what what for my interests?
- JZ: important to carry over on solidproject.org website and pod. We should ahve a place on solidproject.org website saying: here is the active SolidOS team and so on... provide pathways for people to get involved. Open source teams and research groups. 
- ACTION: JZ & TT put this on the Solid Team agenda for next time.
- Tim: what goes on the website is sometimes hard to propagate there.
