jonaswKev, I heard swift can do XEP-0055 (Jabber Search). Does it support RSM-based pagination and if so, where is the RSM element included? And if not, do you think RSM would be a reasonable way to do that and if so, where would the RSM element go?

KevIt does 55, I don't believe we RSM.
jonaswI’d very much like to not return 4000 entries in one reply though
KevI don't think 55 supports RSM does it?
jonaswdoes *anything* before XEP-0059 "support" RSM?
jonaswoh look at this, XEP-0059 even uses XEP-0055 as example for RSM
jonaswand it’s allegedly used with disco#items
jonasw(even though I haven’t seen that in the wild with MUC services yet)
goffiI though RSM could be applied anywhere without need to specify it. This this was we answered to me when I asked for disco in the past.
jonasw(AFAICT)
goffiI thought RSM could be applied anywhere without need to specify it. This this what was answered to me when I asked for disco in the past.

jonaswgoffi: sure, I can re-use bits of 55 but I was wondering whether there was any precedent for that
ralphmWho's here and what topics do you prefer to discuss today?
GuusI'm here
MattJI'm here
MattJWe can discuss the next steps for the results of the survey
GuusAlso: gdpr compliance?
ralphmCool. Maybe revisit the GDPR discussion
ralphmThat should fill most of the meeting.
Guusalso: did anyone hear from Martin in the last few weeks?
Guushe didn't renew XSF membership - I wonder if that was intentional.
ralphmNot since May 3.
MattJLikewise
vanitasvitaehas left
ralphmWhile there's no requirement to be a Member to be a Director, I share your curiosity.
ralphm2. Survey.
MattJThe survey "officially" ended yesterday, with 24 responses
MattJWhich I don't consider too bad, I was expecting worse
vanitasvitaehas left
alexishas joined
MattJI haven't had time to do anything with the responses, barely look at them. I propose I do that and share a Google Spreadsheet over email, and we can discuss in more detail next week?
MattJand if anyone has specific things they'd like to discuss (e.g. points raised) we can add those to the agenda
GuusSounds good to me.
ralphmAgreed
ralphm3. GDPR
ralphmSo there a few things here and maybe we should split them.
vanitasvitaehas left
ralphm1) the XSF's compliance
ralphm2) the proposed XEP
MattJAgreed, sensible
Guusthis feels like a beast: can we further split them?
Andrew Nenakhovhas joined
ralphmGo aheah
GuusI would if I knew how 🙂
ralphmWell, there are a few things on 1)
vanitasvitaehas left
ralphm- The foundation membership
ralphm- The e-mail archives
ralphm- The XMPP server with its rooms and archives
ralphmshout if you can think up more items
Guusthat is: items where we potentially store private information?
Guusdo we use cookies on the website?
MattJs/private/personal/

ralphmpersonal, indeed
GuusMatt just asked for everyone's mail address in a nice (but one-off) poll
Zashhas left
MattJI also stated how they would be used, and that they would not be kept permanently
ralphmWe can probably continue doing all the things we do, but we have to document what we process, for what reason, etc.
Guusok, stepping back: I'm unsure what exactly the end-goal is (other than 'be compliant' which I don't know what that entails)
Zashhas left
ralphmAnd we need to revisit/reinstate the Privacy Policy that was written in 2008
vanitasvitaehas left
Guus(we've got personal data in the wiki too, probably - and there's author information in each XEP)
ralphm(for a discussion on this, see the archives of this room -1W)

ralphmThe focus points will be documentation, the pp, and possibly retention, and information and deletion requests.
MattJThere may be hidden things like server logs, but if we don't keep those for "too long", we "should" be ok
Guussure, and although I assume that that's ok, that's not based on any knowledge of gdpr on my part.

vanitasvitaehas left
MattJWell in the case I gave (server logs), that's something that requires iteam - an inventory of running services and what they collect
vanitasvitaehas left
GuusRIght - that's why I suggest to have a SIG or WT with people like yourself that know what to look for. A small group of people that maintains an overview, and coordinates efforts with other WTs and board.
ralphmI think a work team
vanitasvitaehas left
GuusThis all might be me being overcautious, based on a lack of understanding - if you see a way to shorttrack things, that's also fine by me.
ralphmso indeed, you need iteam for inventory, someone the leads the effort, and in any case the Secretary should be involved
ralphmThere are probably helpful 10-step plans out there, but I haven't looked at that at all
GuusI'm unsure if we can volunteer the Secretary for a WT, but we can at least ask the WT to inform the Secretary. 🙂
GuusRalph, would you mind spearheading that team?
vanitasvitaehas left
Guusyou seem to have a good grasp on tings.
Guusthings*
ralphmOn the involvement of the Secretary, probably yes we can volunteer him:
ralphmSection 6.7 Secretary. Unless provided otherwise by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, the Secretary shall keep accurate records of the acts and proceedings of all meetings of the Members and Directors. The Secretary shall give all notices required by law and by these Bylaws. He or she shall mail to all Directors within thirty (30) days after each meeting copies of all said actions and minutes of said proceedings. In addition, the Secretary shall have general charge of the corporate books and records and of the corporate seal, and he or she shall affix, or attest the affixing of, the corporate seal to any lawfully executed instrument requiring it. The Secretary shall have general charge of the membership records of the Corporation and shall keep, at the principal office of the Corporation, a record of the Members showing the name, address, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address of each Member. The Secretary shall sign such instruments as may require his or her signature and, in general, shall perform all duties as may be assigned to him or her from time to time by the Chair, the Executive Director or the Board of Directors.
ralphmNote the part on 'corporate books and records'
vanitasvitaehas left
GuusLet's aim to have a mission statement / member list ready for next week, so that we can procedurally establish the team.
ralphmBut of course we should ask Alex how he can help us on this
ralphmseems reasonable
ralphmOk then, I guess we should move on to the other part
ralphm4. GDPR XEP
Guus(I don't have much more time to spend today)
ralphmOh, it is that time already.
Guusas for the XEP: what are downsides of publishing such a XEP?
ralphmWell, in principle it is unclear if the XSF should publish a specification that would give guidelines in direct relation to the GDPR
ralphmI'm not familiar with US law, but the concept of Legal Advise is a apparently a Thing
ralphmAdvice even
Guuswhat is "giving legal advice" ? Does publishing that XEP qualify?
ralphmWell, in the state that it was in last week, there wasn't much in there yet
ralphmI haven't checked since
MattJIt's a combination of factors - for example, in some places you need to be licensed to practice law
ralphmBut I think it is more important for any such document to provide general guidelines in terms of knowing what you process and what things to take into account to ensure privacy for your service, and leave the rest up to people who Know Things (typically lawyers) for actual compliance
MattJIt's a stretch, but if it was taken as the XSF is giving legal advice without being qualified to do so, that's illegal in those $some_places
muppethhas joined
GuusMy perspective is that I'd prefer to help the XMPP community by providing information, as long as a) we're not opening ourselves up to liability, and b) we can somehow be reasonably certain that we're not spreading misinformation.
MattJand separate from this issue, but similar - someone could try to blame the XSF if they followed published advice but got fined under GDPR
GuusThere's a huge gap between practice law and give information
efrithas left
ralphmRight, so as Peter has suggested, and I agree with, I'd like any such document to be actual best practices, not related to any particular legislation
ralphmAlso, I'm sure I used 4 two times, so whoever is making the Minutes (*wink*) should take that into account

flowI'm pretty sure I've asked years ago on standards@ if an IQ send to the own bare JID is semantically equivalent to the same stanza without a 'to' attribute, but my google-fu is not strong enough to find that thread again
KevThe answer is "yes". Also "no".
KevIt is the same, except that there's some odd text still lying around that hints otherwise, like that roster queries must be no-JID (rather than bare-JID), maybe?
flowI feared that this was the conclusion back then
ZashCan we have that odd text accidentally dropped down a well?
flowwould a MAM IQ to the own bare JID be equal to the same query without to attribute?
Kevflow: Yes.
flow*without 'to' attribute
MattJAs far as I'm concerned, and Prosody is concerned, yes
ZashProsody treats to=own bare jid identical to missing to
danielCan we just get rid of missing to and missing froms
ZashIn fact, it removes the 'to' and uses its absense for security related things
blablahas left
Zashdaniel: make them mandatory always, like on s2s?
flowZash, interesting, care to elaborate on these "security related things" that you get when you handle stanzas without 'to'?
MattJdaniel, in a way I prefer it, you know this stanza isn't going anywhere
danielZash: yes. If you want to send something to your account you have to address it
danielAnd vice versa
ibikkhas joined
MattJflow, these stanzas are typically special in most XEPs (from user to their own account), they are privileged and Prosody handles them separately from normal stanzas that are to be routed
rishiraj22has left
waqashas joined
j.rhas joined
j.rhas joined
Zashdaniel: I want the opposite
MattJand we normalize the to/from to 'missing to' so that there can't be any JID normalization accidents in modules
ZashAnd then it bites Ge0rG right in the carbons
danielMattJ: but if you address your server the stanza isn't going anywhere either...
danielFor some definition of not going anywhere
KevMattJ: Do you do some sort of NAT to get the right address injected when you reply then?
KevBecause replying to a to=bare stanza with missing to isn't ok.✎
MattJKev, 'from' is always set, and that's what we reply to
MattJand 'to' is not needed on c2s streams
KevBecause replying to a to=bare stanza with missing from isn't ok. ✏
Zashto and from should default to the entities on each end of c2s streams, ie the client and their account
MattJObviously from and to are swapped in any reply
KevOne has to be fairly careful when claiming anything is obvious, when talking about this ;)
Guushas left
Guushas left
jonaswKev, why is it not ok? missing from is identical to comes from bare jid, isn’t it?
jonaswI am /pretty/ sure that I’ve seen servers which do not do that.
jonaswI have ugly workarounds for that
jonaswah, no I am at the wrong place in the text
ZashWhowhere?
jonasw
3. When the server generates a stanza from the server for delivery
to the client on behalf of the account of the connected client
(e.g., in the context of data storage services provided by the
server on behalf of the client), the stanza MUST either (a) not
include a 'from' attribute or (b) include a 'from' attribute
whose value is the account's bare JID (<localpart@domainpart>).
jonaswKev, so, there’s no NAT needed, just don’t emit the @from in the reply ^
Guushas left
danielZash: hoover?
Kevjonasw: Yes, but if it's a reply to a stanza the client sent, the server must swap the to/from.
Zash🕴
KevYou can't, as a server, receive a stanza that is to=bare JID, and reply with no from.
MattJKev, says?
ZashThe holy text.
Alexhas joined
KevMattJ: 6120, somewhere.
Keve.g. for error stanzas "The error stanza SHOULD simply swap the 'from' and 'to' addresses from the generated stanza"
MattJThat's a stretch to say it applies to all stanzas, as you're saying
KevYes, that was just the quickest thing to find.
MattJI think the text jonasw pasted is pretty clear that the server has two valid options
KevYes, but not clear that both are always right.
tahas joined
MattJThen that text might as well be removed, and let the text you remember specify what the 'from' should be
lumihas left
jonaswKev, ok, then I found a server with a bug.
Guushas left
jonaswbecause that’s why I needed workarounds (because servers did exactly that)
jonaswah, well
jonaswif the swap is only a SHOULD, I can see this to be an exception
Guushas left
KevI can't find the odd text about rosters now on a quick search either, so there's clearly text I'm failing to find.

MattJSo MIX proxy JIDs... if someone creates a MIX channel that is <1023 bytes>@mix.example.com... what happens to the userid part?
jonasw"boom"
jonaswI imagine servers simply wouldn’t allow that
MattJSo how long is the generated id?
jonaswprobably service-defined
MattJIt's such a hack
jonaswdo you have a better suggestion?
MattJWell instead of overloading what should be an opaque identifier why not re-use a mechanism that is already in the protocol as a secondary identifier behind bare JIDs?
rtq3has joined
jonaswbecause that leads to the same situation
jonaswjust in a different part and with different moving parts
jonaswwith Kevs variant (1), the multiple pieces are in the nodepart, with variant (2) the multiple pieces are in the resource
jonaswso both are bad w.r.t. that
jonaswone way out of that would be to use $service-wide-user-id@$service-domain/$resource instead (so the MIX identifier wouldn’t be part of the node at all). but that requires to have the JID of the MIX inside the relevant stanzas
MattJAll existing routing, libraries and... everything already knows how to correctly split a JID
jonaswtrue
jonaswand I think that the semantics assumed with "bare JID" work better with variant (1) than with variant (2)
SamWhitedhas left
MattJTrust me, someone will want to implement some higher-level logic to know which messages are associated with a MIX channel
MattJExcept with variant (1) you can't really do that
MattJYou have to know it *is* a MIX channel, and that you have to strip the bit before the #
MattJBlock a MIX channel? Ok, but messages from participants would still reach you
jonaswand other people want to have high-level logic to konw which messages are associated with a MIX channel occupant.
ibikkhas joined
MattJany kind of filtering or logic based on the channel JID now almost always will need to be adapted to look for the # part
vanitasvitaehas left
jonaswwe should’ve followed email and allowed multiple @s in addresses
MattJYes, that would really have helped... :)
MattJso now nobody knows what an email address actually is, but everyone has their own idea that's good enough for them
MattJPretty much what's going on here, to be honest :)
MattJThe # is the extra @ to the entities that can see it
MattJTo the others, it's not and it's weird
jonaswthe variant (2) would make things worse than MUC actually
MattJCan you (or someone) lay down the reasons for that?
jonaswdidn’t I?
jjrhhas left
MattJI didn't see if you did, /me checks
jonaswbut the point which I just realized is, that with variant (2), there’s no single JID which will ever occur in a message identifies an occupant
jonaswso if you wanted to filter all messages from an occupant, you’d have to know that they’re MIX messages
jonaswto split them correctly
jonaswkinda the same issue you describe with MIX channels in variant (1)
MattJHmm, what do you mean?
jonaswfor example, presence
jerehas joined
jonaswand avatar hashes
jonaswI keep those in a cache, usually keyed by the bare JID
jonaswwhich I can’t do for MUC, I have to use the full JID, but that’s okay
jonasw(I actually have to break layers to detect that a presence is MUC related at that point)
jonaswnow with MIX, it’s worse, because not only do I have to check that it’s MIX-related, I also have to use a non-RFC6122 splitting function on the JID to determine the cache key
jonaswi.e. do determine the identity this JID belongs to
jonaswreally, the same thing you described earlier, just with occupants instead of channels
MattJRight
jonaswI think your issue is more server-side and my issue is more client-side, actually, and that might be why we see them strongly each
jonasw(clients may be more interested in occupant identities, while servers may be more interested in channel identities because that’s the granularity they work on)
MattJSo how do you know it's a MIX message and you need to split the nodepart? Payload?
jonaswyes
mikaelahas left
jonaswStrawman proposal:
- proxy JID does not contain the MIX channel, but only the proxy identifier in the nodepart
- resource as usual
- MIX channel is identified in payload, e.g. <message from="ac2c37a7-10a6-4cd7-a708-4973d5d365f8@mixservice.domain.example" to="user@other.example" type="groupchat"><mix channel="..."/></message>✎

jonaswwhen I send a message to ac2c37a7-10a6-4cd7-a708-4973d5d365f8@mixservice.domain.example, they need to verify that I share a channel with them
jonasw(or may need to, depending on the service policies; but I assume that this is how most services will want to operate)
jonaswhm, or we require <mix channel="…"/> elements even in non-groupchat messages
jonaswthen the sender would assert through which channel this message shall be "tunneled" and the server would not have to form the intersection of both channel lists
jonaswquestion is whether that’s reasonable

jonaswAdvantages:
- No re-write of resources
- Bare JID refers to occupant identity (good for clients)
- Servers can simply filter on message/mix@channel
- Opens up the possibility of re-using the same proxy JID for the same occupant across different channels (may be useful in some deployments, via MattJ)
Disadvantages:
- All (including 1:1) stanzas exchanged between occupants require the <mix channel="…"/> element for MIX channels to be able to easily route them
- Entities filtering on MIX channel identity still need to know about MIX (and the <mix channel="…"/> element)
jonaswdid I miss something?

KevI'll reply properly onlist in the morning, but now you need to do DPI to be able to routing in your client, because the routing information is no longer in the header? That's terribly unpleasant.✎

Kevi.e. I think option 3 is the worst of the three.
Kev(And possibly worse, your server needs to be doing DPI in order to make archiving work)
jonaswKev, don’t you need to do DPI anyways because you need to be sure you’re looking at a MIX message?
jonasw(otherwise, the "MIX JID splitting function" (whatever that is) would operate on non MIX JIDs and possibly yield wrong results)
KevNo, you don't :)
jonaswservers need to do DPI anyways today for archiving to work.
KevNot at this level.

jonaswnormally, type="groupchat" isn’t archived at all, right?
KevThat obviously has to change.
jonaswfor MIX, yes
Kevtype=groupchat to the bare JID gets archived.
Kev(Once routing/archiving rules are fixed)
jonaswright
jonaswthat would work
KevI have to sort out bins and then go to bed, but I think option 3 has worse issues than the conflation in option 1/2.
