bodyoptimizationThe deadline for voting for SXSW interactive 2008 proposals is today, midnight Central Time (thus 10pm Pacific Time), and thus clearly I've waited long enough to mention my proposed sessions for your consideration.
In the past I've organized sessions on CSS, semantic markup, and microformats. The following proposals have nothing to do with any of those. If you find them interesting, please rate them accordingly, and feel free to leave comments with suggestions too! Link to all three session proposals (wiki). Individual sessions:
Be sure to search for other topics you are interested in and vote on other panels as well - you only have until 10pm Pacific / midnight Central. That's what I'll be doing for the next few minutes at least and will be updating this post with additional suggestions, so come back and reload as you're voting.

During the last portion of Sunday's WAAA2007 schedule we split up into groups again, but this time more focused along lines of expertise. The technology experts convened separately, and led by Dick Hardt, we brainstormed about what we needed to find out in order to start building, and what could we think of building off the tops of our heads to help with the stated goals and use cases.
In addition to the previously mentioned techniques for open and reliable publishing, we also discussed the following important capabilities:
As our group lead, Dick Hardt provided the summaries of the above points which we had recorded both on the wiki as part of the Sunday Group Notes, and on paper sheets which you can see in the photo provided.
The workshop closed with lunch and informal discussions / reflections, which was a very pleasant way to end a conference, and unique - I don't remember any other conferences offhand which ended with a meal. Perhaps the effect was purely psychological, but somehow ending with a sharing of food and conversation felt particularly bonding and unifying.
At the end of the workshop we took a short video where nearly everyone (or perhaps everyone, I couldn't quite see everyone myself) raised their hands in affirmation of a commitment to help continue the efforts and work we started during the workshop. I'm sure that each of us will play a different role and provide respective contributions in our areas of expertise.
You can see for yourself on the wiki that substantial work has happened (and continues) since the workshop.
As it was made clear to me that clarifying and promoting recipes for open and reliable publishing is key to many of the stated goals, that's the area that I've decided to focus on.
In particular, aspects of online social networking were mentioned throughout the workshop, and as soon as the weekend after, fellow workshop participants Joseph Smarr, Brad Fitzpatrick and I attended BarCampBlock and led several related sessions: microformats community meetup, opening the social graph, and social network portability today.
Thus my contributions to the goals of the workshop will likely come from my focus on developing and advancing microformats for both social network portability, and for data formats that commenting/discussion systems require, such as hCard for people and organizations, hCalendar for events, hReview for commentary/reviews, hAtom for syndicating episodic information, and a citation microformat for easier publication and discovery of references for discussion purposes.

permalinksWhile I certainly applaud the various goals discussed during the WAAA2007 workshop, I couldn't help but think that smaller steps are first required to at least move us in the direction of the longer term goals.
Open discussions about the Federal budget, or anything government related, requires first of all, open and reliable publication of the information that is to be discussed.
Open and reliable can mean many things in this context, so those of us who were more technically inclined pointed out the following key steps that anyone can take towards open and reliable publishing in today's world:
If every government site had to publish all their documents as above, that would go a long way towards providing a foundation for open discussions.
HTML is readily repurposable with all the parsers and tools out there (as compared to proprietary formats).
Publishing on the public web with URLs that don't change means bloggers, forum users etc. can then link to what they are specifically discussing. Link aggregation search engines like Technorati or Google Blog Search can tell you who is talking about what.
Publishing at URLs 70 characters or less helps the reliable transmissability of those pointers to your pages thru various media like email etc.
Finally, given the length of many documents published by governments, marking up each section, heading, and even paragraph with a unique id attribute enables people to link to a specific section or paragraph that they want to comment on.
Once you have that foundation of open and reliably published data, you enable both anyone on the Web to comment on them immediately using existing blogging tools, but more importantly, you enable the creation of a new generation of perhaps government-specific (or even budget specific) discussing tools (e.g. www.govtrack.us) which can simply use permalinks to official resources as the targets of their discussions.

principlesYears of formal professional experience with developing data formats (from when I started on OpenDoc at Apple in 1992, to working on XHTML2 in the W3C) taught me a lot about what worked and what didn't. By analyzing my personal experiences and data format efforts out there in the wild I discovered a number of commonly shared implicit assumptions. With additional analysis I was able to determine which of these assumptions led to failures, or very slow adoption, or perhaps simply unnecessary friction on an otherwise good idea. From the beginning of when I first coined the word "microformats" and introduced it at O'Reilly's ETech conference in 2004 with Kevin Marks, I openly not only questioned numerous assumptions, but stated their inverses as design principles.
In my conversation on the van ride over on the second day of the WAAA2007 workshop, I told the gentleman from the New York Times that the core ideas behind microformats were about inverting several conventional assumptions, and proceeded to list the ones that came to mind:

wiki
personalMost folks at the WAAA2007 conference were users, that is, they knew the basics of using computers, the Web etc., but you couldn't necessarily assume they knew how to edit a wiki (though pretty much everyone had heard of Wikipedia). To the average user, technology is a complex black box that seems to work most of the time. There is also a perception that doing technical things is a lot of work and takes a lot of time.
One of the earliest questions I asked the first day (shortly after Silona announced the "tag" for the conference) was something like: where can we collaboratively take notes and otherwise share thoughts about the conference in real-time? There wasn't really an official answer so I followed up with shall I set up a wiki? Whereupon Silona said, yes a PBWiki, how about waaa.pbwiki.com? Could you set that up she asked, looking at me. I'll take care of it I said. Merely a few minutes later (after creating an email alias, and setting up the aforementioned PBWiki) I looked at her and said "It is done. We have waaa.pbwiki.com."
Later on another participant expressed dislike for the term "transparent budget" because that doesn't help you actually see it, and preferred something that indicated making it more visible, understandable, like "illuminated budget". The immediate reaction in people's faces showed that that phrase had clearly resonated with the crowd. Silona made an executive decision, looked at me again and asked, "could you grab illuminatedbudget.com org and net?". "I'm on it".
Moments later I had picked up illuminatedbudget.com, illuminatedbudget.net, and illuminatedbudget.us and redirected them to the aforementioned wiki. I interrupted whatever was being discussed (us technology types have the unconventional habit of communicating via interrupts) and said outloud: "We've got illuminatedbudget.com, .net, .us and they're live, redirecting to the wiki."
In both cases, these brief exchanges happened during all group sessions, and I thought that was important, just so that everyone (especially the not as technical folks) could see with a real-time practical demonstration just how efficient you can be with technology. I'm hoping that removes the fear and perception of difficulty of technology from at least a few folks.
I remember being similarly inspired when at a rock concert at the Warfield in the early/mid 1990s, I happened upon the band's online techs who were monitoring the streaming audio (maybe even postage-stamp video IIRC) feed as well as updating their website in realtime with new content by typing in HTML directly into a terminal window. This was before any of the crappypopular WYSIWYG HTML editors, no looking up tags in a reference book/pamphlet, they were typing in HTML off the tops of their heads!
Mostly just hyperlinks but even then just watching someone type <a href="http://..." without so much as pausing amidst a bunch of prose made me realize, this isn't code, this is just hypertext. I had just started writing HTML myself and was still looking up tags/examples in books (or at a minimum copying and pasting even small bits of markup) when I needed to write the "codes". Not anymore. At that very moment I committed <a href="..." to memory and pursued the goal of becoming a fluent hypertext reader and writer.
It was very much an "a-ha" moment, where I realized that any literate person could learn to write hypertext. Later I would realize how much this "human authorability" of HTML helped with its success. Even later still, I played a small part in encouraging at least one or two informal group meetups on hypertext literacy. Now that so many website interfaces (in particular commenting interfaces and wikis) allow at least some HTML markup, any literate person not only can learn to be hypertext literate, but should.
One of the WAAA2007 attendees commented at the reception dinner that everyone seemed so nice, and this was no coincidence. All the attendees were hand picked by Silona not only for their areas of experience and expertise, but also their overall friendliness and nice demeanor. Almost certainly as a result, the discussions were very respectful, and rarely was a voice raised.
This conference and a few recent blog posts have underscored the importance (and frankly, efficiency) of being civil when discussing topics, developing technologies, etc. One effective method for keeping things civil is to simply not invite trolls and other negative (e.g. drama-ridden) people to your discussions. Obviously in open forums / online communities that can be more difficult, and in those you need mechanisms for swiftly identifying, banning, and otherwise filtering out negative behaviors. I've had a bunch of personal experiences with this recently which I'll write about more in a later follow-up.
For now here is my summary advice: focus most of your time on the people that are nice (or overall clear net positives), some of your time on people who are neutral (or unclear if they are net positive or negative), and no more than 1% of your time on people who are mean (or net negatives). This explicit distribution of time will likely take considerable proactive effort on your part, as once you start analyzing how much time you spend on whom, you'll likely realize that the net negatives end up soaking up most of your time (and emotional energy / attention span for that matter) by default. You will almost certainly need to take firm steps to reduce the time you spend both with such individuals, and even thinking about them, and then be sure to fill that time by both thinking about and spending time with nice people.
The We Are All Actors workshop (WAAA2007) was quite the interesting mix of individuals. In addition to contributing to the discussions as one of the invited technical experts, I learned some things about the complexities of not only the federal budget itself, but the process by which it is revised.
Apart from the scheduled subject matter, there were a number of other things I noticed worth calling out which I will briefly list here but are worthy of their own blog posts (which I'll subsequently link to once posted).
WAAA2007 was one of the more unique conference/workshop experiences I have ever had and I think a large portion of that had to do with the wide variety of session formats over the course of the two days.
On the morning of the first day we watched both a video message from Bill Bradley on governmental transparency, and a video interview of Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia (who was interviewed by Eddie Codel) on community based solutions, pausing after each for a few minutes of open discussion which provided a very good starting pace. I found both video messages quite fascinating — each provided both high level visionary suggestions and specific design suggestions. E.g. Jimmy Wales suggested requiring login to participate in the system (without specifying how in particular, e.g. site-specific or OpenID), but not any form of required identification, that is, explicitly permit people to create and use of pseudonyms which can gain/lose reputation all on their own.
Given the division of the workshop schedule into "Acts" I thru III, and "Actors" in the title, it didn't take much to see the pattern. In the afternoon of the first day, volunteers were tapped from the audience to play "roles" and speak to provided scripts. The scenes were clearly written to make points thru the use of story-telling thru re-enactment. A clever and certainly entertaining technique which however did leave me wondering exactly how much the scenes were based on actual anecdotes vs. crafted to represent hypothetical scenarios. My skepticism made it difficult to connect with the implied use-cases. To be fair, the authors provided disclaimers about how the scenes were merely intended to be illustrative.
The thespian theme continued into the evening with a Shakespearian themed dinner complete with Renaissance Faire attired live music. With a belly-dancer and theremin set (separately) thrown in for good measure, which was about right for the city.
See the Group Notes from Saturday on the wiki for more details of the specific discussions / sessions.
Every conference has its hallway discussions. Given the relatively small size (around 50 participants I think) and fairly participatory nature of the sessions, there wasn't quite as much impetus for side discussions. There were maybe only one or two of us in the IRC backchannel at any particular point in time.
However, since many of us were from out of town and staying in the same hotel, the organizers shuttled us back and forth from the LBJ Library in a big group transport van. The rides were just long enough for those of us sitting tightly three to a row to strike up brief conversations about topics relating to the conference.
On the Sunday morning ride to the workshop, I ended up sitting next to and speaking with a gentleman from the New York Times who told me he had heard about microformats, was already interested in implementing them, and wanted me to tell him the ideas behind microformats and how microformats came about.
I told the gentleman from the New York Times that the core ideas behind microformats were about inverting several conventional assumptions, and proceeded to list the ones that came to mind.
And with that, I will expand upon the earlier points I listed, following which I'll wrap up with a summary of the final group discussions and next steps from the workshop.

portablesocialnetworks socialnetworkportability microformatsThis weekend I'm at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library in Austin Texas participating in the We Are All Actors workshop on the Transparent Federal Budget project (TFB) with the stated goal of increasing the transparency and accountability of our political processes
. It's a fascinating mix of people representing a good variety of perspectives and expertises: standards bearers, techies, users, data brokers, nonprofits, businesses, and role models.
I'm here to contribute to the key aspects noted at the top of the We are All Actors website (emphasis mine): Discovering and Encouraging Open Standards for our Open Source / Free Social Network
. I'm certainly going to be making sure to inform folks about the burgeoning work on social network portability. Lots of great folks here who are also helping move forward the vision of a portable social network: Brad Fitzpatrick, Dick Hardt, Joseph Smarr, and many others.
Appropriately making a meta-point in the interest of transparency, the workshop organizers have setup this live Windows Media stream where you can watch our workshop on the transparent federal budget project as it happens.
Silona is now introducing the context for the workshop and has just declared that tag for the event is: waaa2007.
I'm also here in the unofficial backchannel: #waaa on irc.freenode.net.
It feels a little surreal to have been blogging for five years. I cannot imagine what it must be like for those that have been blogging for 10+ years, like Jeffrey Zeldman, one of the original sources of inspiration that finally got me to start blogging.
This blog has survived two jobs, two long term relationships, and so far, the emergence of "Web 2.0". At the time I thought I was one of the last folks to start blogging, and yet there are probably more than 100x blogs now (>~80M) than there were then (<0.8M).
How I blog has changed dramatically since my first post five years ago.
I used to regularly read the news on Yahoo.com, actually, specifically, the most popular news in the past 24 hours (link now redirects to a generic "popular news" page, whereas it used to give you options of 24hrs, 48hrs, 7days etc.) and link to / comment on what I thought were interesting stories, as a substitute for emailing them.
At some point I realized that the vast majority of news stories were merely appealing to lowest common denominator emotional triggers and thus abandoned that particular daily habit. However, I've taken a strongly renewed interest in reducing my use of email in preference to other methods of communication.
In addition to news commentary, I also wrote a little about the few things I worked on (at the time) which had a web presence, namely web standards (in particular, for advancing CSS) at the W3C, something which I continued to work on for several years after. My participation with W3C started waning after I left Microsoft (where I was an official W3C representative) in 2004 and shortly afterwards joined Technorati (where I continued contributing to W3C as an invited expert).
At Technorati I started to focus on standards for data and semantics more than style. However, I've certainly missed working with the folks in the W3C CSS Working Group (not to mention other smart folks involved with W3C) and now that I've "transitioned out of" my fulltime role at Technorati to spend more time on the microformats.org community, I'm strongly considering re-engaging with the CSS Working Group as well, if for nothing else to contribute some time to help advance some of those Candidate Recommendations (CRs) that I've worked on in the past (a few of which were CRs when I linked to them five years ago).
But first and foremost I'm focused on the microformats community, and currently the growing effort to enable portable social networks through open data formats. See the wiki for the latest and read Brian Oberkirch's excellent series of blog posts for the narrative.
Looking at the past five years, I actually find it quite difficult to predict what the next five years will bring, even the next year. I've been struggling just to keep up with the incredible growth and adoption that microformats have been experiencing, and sometimes just working out the logistics for speaking arrangements can be daunting and take forever (I know, good problems to have, to be sure). I'll be finalizing details on a few in the next couple of days so stay tuned.
Until then, go check out BarCampBlock, the 2nd anniversary of BarCamp, being planned by none other than BarCamp veterans Tara Hunt, Chris Messina, Ross Mayfield, Liz Henry, and as of a few days ago, yours truly as well. I'm excited to be working with such great people (in many cases, again), and hope you can make it.
As Technorati's CEO David Sifry has written on Technorati's weblog, I will be stepping down from my role as Chief Technologist and joining Technorati's Advisory Board. Specifically my last day as Chief Technologist will be July 13th, just over three years since my first day.
Coincidentally, Adam Hertz and Liz Dunn are also leaving to pursue other interests. Both will be terribly missed at Technorati. They have each made countless invaluable contributions, both to our externally visible site(s), features etc. and to Technorati's company culture as well. This was my first time working with Adam, and I have learned a lot from him, not the least of which is admiration of and inspiration from his calm and peaceful way of handling stress and conflict in the challenging situations that are a regular occurence at any aggressive startup.
This was also my first time working with Liz, who has truly been a delight to work with. Her amazing user perspective, energy, and just overall optimism inspired not only me but everyone she interacted with. I'm definitely going to miss our informal chats and illuminating debates about user centered design. funnyordie.com is very lucky to get her.
On a positive note for Technorati, Dorion Carroll's acceptance of the role of Vice President of Engineering is nothing short of awesome. I've really enjoyed working with Dorion, even more closely over the past year, and have tremendous respect for not only his technical capabilities, but also his ability to neutrally reason about various topics while remaining a passionate user advocate.
As for me, let me first say that I'm incredibly flattered and touched by all the kind words offered by so many friends, colleagues and people that I don't even know on blogs, Twitter, Pownce, and other sites. Thank you. I appreciate the compliments. To be fair, as much I've been an outside point of technical contact for Technorati and thus particularly associated with the company (and find the alliteration between my name and the company's name a humorous coincidence as well), the incredible team of 40+ that we've built deserves the credit for the technical advances in the site, speed, reliability, user-friendliness, you name it. I have complete confidence that the team, especially with Dorion as our new VP of Engineering, will take the site to even greater heights.
Second, a lot of folks have been asking what am I doing next so here's a brief answer:
There is so much more I'd like to say, e.g. from our trial by fire of building two sites in under 13 calendar days back in 2004, to what I've learned at Technorati, particularly from Founder CEO David Sifry who hired and mentored me, but this post has gotten long enough and those topics deserve posts of their own.
For now, I'm inviting friends, colleagues, and anyone who has a question or just wants to share some conversation to lunch tomorrow (Thursday), noon, at South Park, on the lawn. Looking forward to seeing you there.
The first two sessions at Supernova today, "Provocations" and "The Social Web: Choices and Voices", were particularly entertaining, though perhaps not always in the manner intended by the presenters.
In "Provocations", the first slide I saw when I walked in the door was titled "The Love Economy", and the next slide had a photo of Neal Stephenson and the cover of his book "The Diamond Age" which the presenter used to reference the cultural prediction contained therein that in the future there would be distinctly different social groups with different value sets, and they would resolve differences/conflicts using the "CEP", the Common Economic Protocol. Yes, I'm at the right conference.
Note to attendees, please stop using the question microphones as pulpits for your longwinded observations. Just blog what you have to say.
One of the presenters finally mentioned kurzweilai.net, and I thought that we might actually get a mention of The Singularity, but alas it was not to be.
In "The Social Web", Mike Speiser of Yahoo opened with the very much overused analogy to the ... early days of television, people would just stand in front of a microphone and read from a script like they did on radio
. For non-tech conferences that may be a good analogy to use, but we're tired of it. Here's what a lot of the tech-savvy crowd thinks of television.
Greg Reinacker of Newsgator noted that their system builds on the interactions of users, tries to better the experience for the next user, based on the current users' behaviors
. This focus on user driven adaptivity of a system is something that other sites have implemented, such as Amazon, but is something than many more sites could take advantage of. Lots of untapped potential there.
Martin Varsavsky has one of the best summary statements for his current effort Fon: People share wifi at home, and roam the world for free.
He followed up with numerous gems like: ... in the Spanish world, people like physical contact, they like physical contact A LOT
followed by muffled laughter from the audience. Martin continued, in reference to the conference itself: ...if we had the same thing in Spanish, people would be talking to each other, not paying attention to the speakers, or maybe not just looking at their screens.
- which of course is what over two dozen of us are doing in the #supernova channel in irc.freenode.net where I also learned that apparently people like touching weathered 18 year old leather jackets.
Martin also observed: Here to my right is AOL with 500 million uniques, here to my left is Yahoo with 400 million uniques, in front of me is a lot of people that don't use AOL or Yahoo.
True enough, though I still use many features of Yahoo on an almost daily basis, like Search, News, in addition to Flickr and Upcoming.
I think I may just be a Martin Varsavsky fanboy because most of the good quotes I got during this presentation were from him. Or he was just the best speaker on the panel. Or maybe both.
Martin on Facebook: What Facebook says is that there are all these mini-crowds, we'll scale with all these mini-crowds, aggregated in this smart platform, that doesn't let you sit next to the ugly people, the people you don't like.
Martin on elitism and diversity: The question you asked, to me the answer is, are you going to turn into an elitist person? The websites that address this will, will address it with discovery tools.
Martin on Netvibes: In the case of Netvibes there are 10 million users building out these pages.
(he's an investor and disclosed that fact)
David Liu of AOL had this to say about fragmentation: ...the fragmentation of content, the fragmentation of the diversity of the user base needs to have a higher presence, a higher relevance to the user, it makes the experience complete, it's not something we're shying away from.
- I have no idea what he meant by that. Perhaps the blogosphere can decipher it.
Somehow the topic of robots came up, and Shannon Clark from the audience offered the following soundbite in reference to the bots: The tree is falling, and something is listening, but it's not us.
Martin on Facebook again: My take on Facebook is that it will be worth $20B by the end of next year, and will be bigger than MySpace ... and I'm not an investor.
He closed the session by tying geography into the virtual world: ...not just long tail of content, but there is a long tail of geography... they want to blog themselves through their wifi signals to their neighbors... most people live in their immediate surroundings.
Afterwards during snack time I partook of the Powerbars that Supernova offered to attendees. An excellent example that other conferences should follow: more energy/protein bars at snack time please!
microformats.org turned 2 this week and there is a lot for the community to be proud of. In just two years, microformats have been adopted by numerous individuals and organizations, including companies small and large, from Amazon to Yahoo. Hundreds of millions of instances of microformats are live on the web.
All in only two years.
No other technology, standard, format, not XML, not RSS, not even HTML itself has had this much adoption this quickly. To be fair, I think HTML, and the Web, and the innovations they've enabled like wikis, blogs etc. in general have lowered the barrier to rapid adoption for immediately useful technologies.
Yet there are open questions that need to be addressed.
Despite the incredible documented success, despite the rapid rate of adoption, and despite continuing to prove critics wrong, there are numerous things we not only can, but should, and some cases must take care of to truly enable and empower microformats to become as everpresent as HTML.
We have general issues that need to be resolved. We have format-specific issues (e.g. hCard issues) that need to be resolved for nearly every established format.
We need to better encourage those who work on creating new microformats to not only better follow the process, but also first make sure they actually implement POSH and established microformats before even thinking of proposing a new microformat.
As an (or the) editor of several established microformats (as well as higher level aspects like the process and the principles), with knowledge behind many of the decisions and designs etc. still stuck in my head, it's become quite clear to me that I need to dramatically step up my level of participation in order to move some of these things forward.
Therefore, effective immediately, I am refocusing on microformats.
In particular this means I am making microformats my top "work/professional" priority and will be doing whatever it takes to resolve and drive the resolution of the above-mentioned issues as swiftly as possible. My specific commitment is to resolve all documented issues to-date on the wiki by one year from today. I'll be doing my best to keep up with new issues as well, but given that there are always new issues, the most I feel like I can reliably commit to is to resolve existing issues that have been documented on the wiki (no, email is not good enough, it's too much of a mess to go through, and I've already given up on responding to all emails on the lists).
I will be, as I have been, keeping my microformats priorities in the microformats to-do list on the wiki, and working my way through them.
Thus in general, assuming there are no active threats against the community, I will be working on first helping publishers and implementers with established microformats (collecting issues along the way), then processing/resolving said issues (old ones first) and generally helping improve the wiki usability/experience of learning / using existing microformats, community dynamics including process and principles, a few key microformats in development that have received attention and demand from a number of people (i.e. not just one or two people), and finally, methodically following up with new microformat developments in general, helping folks navigate the process and iterating on it as well.
There's a lot to be done.
I encourage everyone in the microformats community (who hasn't already done so) to create a section for themselves on the microformats to-do list, and list the things they are working on and want to work on. I'm confident we will find common things to work on, and work together as efficiently as possible to consistently move both microformats and our community ever forward.
Here's to getting things done in year 3 of microformats.org.
