4. Service self-description WG (5 min)

  • Supports it as optional developer tooling

  • Cautions against making it an operational norm for runtime capability negotiation

  • PR feedback, production deployment status

5. File sharing / ATFISL update (10 min) — NEW ITEM

  • Topic 1187 has grown significantly:

  • norman.life built ATFISL (Sep 24) — download-location lexicon keyed by CID, multi-URL support, per-URL expiry

  • bnewbold.net contributed design feedback (Sep 26) — git-annex special remotes, WebTorrent prior art, thumbnail blobs, cross-database hashing

  • TSC awareness needed: this is outside community.lexicon.* namespace (dev.fisl.at), but the design discussion involves prominent ecosystem contributors

  • Related: file-sharing-lexicon-proposal by nezumi.eurosky.social (published Sep 23)

6. /now lexicon design progress (5 min) — NEW ITEM

  • Topic 1210 (11 posts): gui.do proposed detailed schema — optional url, summary, updatedAt fields

  • Namespace stewardship — still no co-lead found

8. Opensocial.community / groups proposal (5 min)

  • Design progress, invite space thread

9. Outstanding attention items (10 min)

Several topics needing TSC reply or routing:

  • Topic 1265 — Ratings lexicon proposal by tynanpurdy.com (10 days, no reply). Complete community.lexicon.rating.* set. Would benefit from at least an acknowledgment.

  • Topic 1144 — Cross-app book record (39 days, no reply). Route to Books WG?

  • Topic 1160 — Experimental FAQ category (35 days, no TSC engagement)

  • Topic 974 — standard.site.declaration proposal (carried over from Sep agenda)

11. NEW: Lexicon Community unconf workshop at AtmosphereConf (10 min)

Nick will propose an in-person Lexicon Community “unconf” workshop held during atmosphereconf:

  • Not a tutorial — an open working session for existing contributors to work through lexicon details together in person

  • ~3 hour unconf format

  • Goal: kick off discussion, gauge interest, plan logistics

  • CFP track lead for protocols/tech: Nick has volunteered

12. TSC membership & governance process review (5 min)

13. Any other business

I have connected with @arsdehnel as a co-lead, and we’re getting ourselves organized. Will be slow-ish, and we’ll report back in the forum, and let other people participate and come along.
