## Topics

### Special Topic Meetings
URL: https://github.com/orgs/solid/projects/16/views/1
* VB: re https://github.com/solid/specification/discussions/555 , Ted mentioned to deprecate so I marked it as archived. Agree that I will move what is discussed. We don't have "discussed" status anymore on the board. Having done may be enough. Try and see how it goes.
* eP: We can't put all discussions into done because sometimes we decide to come back to discuss. After the meeting we know we are not "done" and need to come back at some point. Perhaps a way to mark as in progress?
* VB: we can only end one day. So each entry is a meeting and not a topic. We can't reflect on what we covered or didn't get through. Agree that we need to track what we touched on but not concluded. Any ideas? If not, I can look into it and talk about it in the issue. https://github.com/solid/specification/issues/635
* VB: Solid Notifications marked as "discussed". I presume this means the meeting took place so I changed the status. Let me know if incorrect.
* VB: Suggestions for upcoming meetings?
* JZ: Practitioners group had a meeting on indexing and searching, and wanted to ask the CG about this stuff. Would be nice to have a joint meeting. There is a practioners meeting on Monday, if not we can do it on one of the CG STM topics.
* VB: Either is fine. Or both if need to. What do others think?
* eP: Have preference to do it on Tuesdays.
* VB: JZ, check with group and confirm?
* JZ: Will do.


### Change name and mission of the WG
URL: https://github.com/solid/solid-wg-charter/pull/69

* VB: Noted some reviews. Also PAC mentioned (in chat) that a discussion to look into some names for the WG.
* eP: AS I understand, "PUMPKIN" is a placeholder. We don't need to bikeshed. Perhaps a background job. Perhaps one name will do for now and in parallel keep finding a name. Preference to keep separate so we don't block other work.
* JZ: Any reason not to call it Solid?
* eP: IIRC, we were discussing that we may be "rubbing-stamping" and not be into other inputs. So, this is to say that Solid is one of the inputs, and that there are other inputs. What the WG delivers would include other inputs.

### Document Solid TRs Web Sustainability Guidelines
URL: https://github.com/solid/specification/issues/631

* SC: Low priority as it is for background or knowledge that supports our current work. Goes along with ethical web principles and Solid vision, etc. Considerations on web being for everyone, and so on. Sustainability is one of those things; lots of interest in W3C around this topic. Taking something on in the group would require a lot of thought, but helps make sure what we are working on is grounded on broader societal concerns. I suggest people get a feel for what these documents include and contribute where relevant on ongoing work.
* JZ: Definitely interested in supporting accessiblity issues. I guess looking into how practically people can use it. For example, with data-modules, how ??? the things people use. Also in the Practioners group. Keeping eye on making it easier for people to use it.
* eP: Is there W3C support for this? It seems one of those topics we don't have much experience with. I don't feel comfortable on taking leadership. It sounds to me like something [Team Topologies](https://teamtopologies.com/key-concepts) would consider as a complicated subsystem team or at least enabling team.
* SC: I'm not aware of a specific team looking into this. Maybe in the purview of accessibility. There's a call for a WG on sustainability. It's important for the group to have a well rounded understanding of various topics as it enriches the way we look at use cases, etc.

### Meeting recording and publication
URL: https://github.com/w3c-cg/solid/issues/18

* VB: This follows the issue. Please respond in.
* SC: This could automate some things... depends what the group wants.

### Adopt Solid-PREP
URL: https://github.com/solid/specification/issues/580

* RG: I had already proposed Solid-PREP for adoption by the CG. Now Pavlik has added himself as a second author fulfilling the two author requirement. So I would ask the group to adopt it.
* eP: Since we want at least two people working on it, I volunteer. Some text about operations could move to Solid Protocol / Solid Notifications. Worthwhile iterating.
* VB: Any objections to adapt to work item?
* eP: What are the next steps? Needs to add one of the collaborators to transfer the repo?
* SC: I can help with transfer. We can also add it to the homepage (TR).
* eP: re adding to TR/,
* SC: We'll link to its own repo and ED on the GitHub Pages.

### Initial Best Security Practice
URL: https://github.com/solid/specification/pull/625

* VB: Proposed by eP.
* eP: Created [issue 636](https://github.com/solid/specification/issues/636) to track some of the related issues. The original [issue 514](https://github.com/solid/specification/issues/514) was created a year ago. In the whole year we didn't process, document, capture. Sounds reasonable to have a new work item. As long as we have a clear place that people can find potential security vulnerabilities. In some ways addressing some of the problems. Doesn't have to be perfect but better way than addressing security related issues.
* VB: Work item sounds good.
* SC: I'm for the idea of more visibility. Suggest to have more care on the language, e.g., "best practice" or "guideline". If BP make sure there's sufficient data that signals that. Fine as a work item (best practice and guidelines).
* eP: The naming is not most important. Just copied from OAuth Security BP. We need to be clear of course not to compare with stuff like that. Nor particularly comparable now. Early draft. Aspirations to have something like this in the future. We can rename in the future.
* SC: Title is not the issue, but the language that's used in the document. Can discuss later.
* RG: Let's make a work item and wait for it to reach a certain maturity to add to TR.
* eP: As a rule of thumb: possible threats and countermeasures. If not conflicting with the spec, it is fair/valid approach. At least it is conforming for Solid group of specifications. If measure is passing the Solid test suites, it'd be useful to share it with others.

#### Best Security Practice work item proposal
URL: https://github.com/solid/specification/issues/636

* VB: What are the next steps for this? Needs review?
* eP: Where should it go? It'd be good to merge somewhere and then keep iterating. I'm the only one listed at the moment. I want to ask others to collaborate.
* VB: Do that and we can discuss next week and in the meantime we can discuss where to put it.

ACTION: eP to ask others to co-authors. The Group revisits the best place for the work to continue.

* SC: Hard to say what best place is. Keep it in its own repo for now. Security practices cross all specs, not just Protocol. If we want to always work on it, we can think of it as a live document. I don't see it being the same as the Solid Protocol
* eP: Also see it better as a dedicated repo for it. Easier to migrate into solid/specification.

ACTION: VB to create repo with `foo-security-enterprises`.

* SC: `solid-security-bp`?
* VB: Will ask in chat.
* eP: `security-topics`
* SC: Nod.
* SC: BP might be more familiarity in/around W3C.
* eP: Follow up in issue.

### Add Contributing Guide PR processing information
URL: https://github.com/w3c-cg/solid/pull/19

* VB: We already have w3c-cg/solid CONTRIBUTING.md for contributing all sorts of stuff. There is a section on meeting minutes recently. This PR is specifically about the Contributing Guide itself. I've approved it. It has been open for about a week? If you want to make a suggestion to the Contributing, this sets some expectations on processing.
* eP: Right, if no objections, lets merge. I've approved.
* VB: Merged.
* SC: Minor comment: we have contributing guide because it's a rough approximation of what seems to work in the group. We don't always hit deadlines or follow everything to the dot, but the more we do or take it seriously, the more we speed things up and the less chatter on how to work. Not about watching over each other's shoulder. As mentioned before, it helps us to be more efficient and be on the same page, as well as being useful to newcomers and orientation.
* VB: For me it is important also to follow guidelines in particular regarding the minutes. I get messages about it from folks. So, good to have the minutes out.
* SC: (I've paraphrased a bit above.)

### Update on ecosystem tests work
URL: https://github.com/solid-contrib/ecosystem-tests

* MdJ: We're starting ecosystem tests with headless browsers. Making progress on switch from launcher-exploration to SAI.
* VB: Anyone would like to talk about these topics?

### ACP Tooling
URL: https://www.inrupt.com/blog/podbrowser-sunset

* MdJ: Does podbrowser sunset create a gap that needs filling?
* VB: Postpone until MdJ is here? Okay.

### SPICE: Secure Patterns for Internet CrEdentials BoF at IETF

* RG: For authorization related stuff : https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/119/agenda
Tuesday: Session 2

### Solid March Mini-Hackathon
URL: https://solidhack.org/

* eP: Mostly Jackson. Hadrian, MdJ, and I are helping. Mostly for shapes that people are working with. We're inviting people. I think there'd be more focus. There is a dedicated Matrix channel. If someone wants to work with shapes, especially ShEx, everyone is welcome.
