XMPP Council - 2012-10-30

what'd be the recommended procedure for new XEPs that use protocol described in deprecated XEPs?

hmm

hrm

good question

it probably depends on how the deprecated XEP made it there?

which deprecated XEP?

let me look it up from a conversation..one sec

ok

http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0265.html

Tobias: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0265.html: XEP-0265: Out-of-Band Stream Data

that's the one

so?

Tobias: sorry, I was in a video chat for the last 90 minutes...

those hip kids with their fancy technology

BTW, XEP-0265 is only deferred, not deprecated -- there's an important difference between "this went idle" and "this was a bad idea and we're phasing it out" :)

ahh...rigth...misrememberd that

and what's the recommended procedure in this case? have the author get the deferred XEP get active again?

or have someone volunteer to take over maintainership

Tobias: Why do you want to resurrect 265?

i don't, but someone writing a proto-XEP wants :)

timezone changes are endlessly confusing -- I'm trying to figure out what the time will be UTC during an IETF WG session next Tuesday in Atlanta, after daylight saving time is done :)

Kill them with fire!

stpeter, i though you've reduced your IETF time?

Tobias: I did, but I'm still trying to extract myself from some commitments and people keep asking me to do things (like co-chair the BoF on video codecs so we don't all use H.264 forever!)

so just use vp8 and let google pay eventual license fees :)

right, the video-codec effort will attempt to standarize an open audio codec, much as we did for audio with the Opus effort

I co-chaired the audio codec BoF, so people thought I might be a good person to co-chair the video-codec BoF :)

brb

heh
