Apologies in advance if I misrepresented anybody or missed any crucial bits of information.

February 2025 Minutes

The meeting was deferred a week due to Julian being out of the country, but this time conflicted with the Geosocial TF and perhaps it would be easier to just skip the month instead.
Julian attempted developer outreach in the weeks leading up to FOSDEM (and at FOSDEM), specifically relating to FEP 7888 and resolvable contexts.
- Much of the feedback revolved around the perceived complexity of the FEP
- A separate attempt to focus more on outcomes (e.g. conversational backfill via 7888) led to more positive feedback
This led to the desire to modify FEP 7888 away from being a (perceived) monolithic FEP into a general high-level introduction to utilising context to represent threaded discussions
- 7888 would branch out into "child FEPs" that deal with more focused, technical aspects that implementors could pick and choose from.
In addition to simpifying FEP 7888, the two next candidates for child FEPs would be:
1. Followable objects (FEP-efda) which would lead to the ability for software to "subscribe" to topics for updates
2. Conversational Contexts & Backfill (FEP TBD) which is self-explanatory
A whiteboarding session to determine user stories and long-term FEP prioritiy planning was deferred to March 2025.
A "resolvable contexts" office hours is planned for 17th February 2025 at 10h00 Eastern Standard Time
