"text": "Second IRL TPAC since 2019\nAs noted \n last \n year, \nthe \n W3C \nconvened its annual\n TPAC meetings\nin-person from \n 2001-2019 \n(full list). \nAfter a \n couple \nof \n virtual \nTPACs, last year W3C organized its \n first officially hybrid TPAC \nin Vancouver, British Columbia. \nI wrote \n one \n blog post about one session.\nLast week\u2019s second hybrid TPAC, held in Sevilla, Spain, felt very different in a number of positive ways. This post is a summary of impressions and varied types of meetings I participated in, each of which merits its own post.\n\n\nThis year\u2019s W3C TPAC (Technical Plenary and Advisory Committee) meetings felt denser in many ways, packed tighter with more topics, and more active participants. There were so many specific things in specific meetings, new connections, victories, new challenges, that in addition to capturing summary notes, I'm considering writing blog posts about each meeting or session.\n\n\nNearly all of them have public minutes that document both participants, and a good portion of what was discussed. I have my own notes, and combined with recollected details of what was minuted, I have my own observations to share. I encourage everyone who participated at TPAC (whether in-person or remote) to consider either writing a summary blog post about the experience, perhaps highlighting a few things that stood out, or if there were specific technical discussions that advanced something in a positive direction, or challenges blocking progress, those are worth their own blog posts as well.\n\n\n TPAC week 2023 \ntook place from Monday \n 2023-09-11 \n through Friday \n 2023-09-15, \nin \n Sevilla, \n Spain.\n\n\nHere is a summary outline of meetings, sessions, and discussions I participated in. Not listed: conversations at breakfasts, morning & afternoon breaks, lunches, dinners, and of course hallways. Unlinked for now, each of these has a calendar event with description, minutes, almost all of which are public.\n\nMonday\n\nWICG (Web Incubator Community Group)\n\nTuesday\nSocial Web Incubator CG (community group), AKA \n SocialCG or \n SWICG\n\n \nDID WG \n rechartering discussion\n \nAC meeting\n Vision TF\n\n Fediverse meetup\n\nWednesday \u2014 Breakouts day!\nChartering at W3C\n Technical Roadmap at W3C\n SocialWeb Test Suite Discussion\n SocialWeb Data Portability Discussion\n Introducing the Web Sustainability Guidelines (WSGs)\n Report to Members, Hearing from Members\n Technical Plenary reception\n\nThursday\n\nCSS WG, briefly\n Afternoon break: \n Solid \n charter discussions\n\nFriday\nSocial CG planning\n Departing conversations & reflections\n\n\nThose are the sessions & discussions that I found in my notes. \nI also met a lot of new people during meetings, meals, and discussions at breaks. \nAs I write up my notes on specific sessions and their minutes (and hyperlink the above list items), I expect to recall more context and details. If you were at TPAC, I encourage you to write-up your experiences as well, while the thoughts, feelings, and insights are fresh in your mind.

I have posted some “Music Monday” posts occasionally. It’s usually been when I’m particularly excited about a song or just when the mood strikes me. I was intrigued by Pablo’s idea and figured it could be a relatively easy task to listen to one distinct album each day(-ish), whether it’s new to me or not. I am always interested in finding good new music, so that will be part of the goal, but I think this will also help me go through the catalog of albums I haven’t listened to in ages and see how they hold up.
I’m keeping it simple for now, so not going to commit to 1000 albums or posting about each one I listen to, but I am sure I will share some of the high/lowlights.
Recommendations are always welcome! What are some of your favorite albums of 2023?

So many advances in #ActivityPub, #Webmention, Micropub, #IndieAuth etc. that it may be time to restart the #SocialWebWG to officially update all our active specifications.
We can & should also reach out to #Bluesky & #Nostr communities to work together on shared semantics and bridging protocols to continue growing a heterogenous #fediverse built on the #OpenWeb.
We know it is possible. We worked hard in the Social Web working group to align a lot of semantics across #ActivityStreams and #microformats2. The fruitful results of that are services like http://fed.brid.gy/ which I myself use to send a Webmention when I make a new post (like this one) and have #BridgyFed automatically federate it via ActivityPub using my personal site identity to #Mastodon followers and others.
