== notes ==<br />
Session comments and Q&A.<br />
<br />
Q&A notes from Tantek:<br />
<br />
*Q: who governs microformats?<br />
not a standards body. wiki, irc, mailing list. discuss, new. group<br />
consensus. kinda the model being taken on by whatwg group. process of<br />
html5. a little tougher there with so many people. microformats are<br />
decided by "us" [the community]. if you want to contribute, you can also<br />
just blog it, and tag your post with microformats.<br />
<br />
*Q: what microformats are in the pipeline?<br />
microformats that have reached a solid stage, about 10. about 10 more<br />
well developed in the pipelines. of interest/note: hAtom. also hResume,<br />
mostly just combines existing microformats. hReview is another that is<br />
technically still in progress. Apple store that just relaunched a few weeks<br />
ago is using hReview.<br />
<br />
*Q: Firefox will recognize? (with operator). Will all the browsers recognize<br />
it?<br />
operator is a testing ground for microformats in firefox. ff3 will have<br />
native support for microformats. cornered one of the Opera developers at a<br />
conference recently, and they said yes, there will be microformats support<br />
in a future version of Opera.<br />
Who has an hCard on their page? DKR? Blueflavor contact page. Got other<br />
plugin which will get put into Operator also. Bluetooth export. Mobile<br />
phone connected over bluetooth to my computer. Have previously paired.<br />
<br />
*Q: If you click on a calendar or something on a page, will any applications<br />
come up?<br />
Suppose you're not using Firefox. Someone has written a bookmarklet.<br />
Also as a publisher, you can have this link, I mentioned the Technorati<br />
URL that is a RESTful URL service that goes thru an XSLT transform that<br />
converts hCard to vCard (again, demonostration with Blue Flavor page). So<br />
all different ways, browser native, plugins, bookmarklets, you yourself can<br />
expose the data with conversion links.<br />
<br />
*Q: Trust. Any discussion in the microformats implementing trust mechanisms<br />
such as cryptographic signing?<br />
OpenID.<br />
There is also the key property in hCard which you can use to markup your<br />
PGP public key for example<br />
<br />
*Q: Top user pull / user demand for this for it to really take off? What is<br />
the first killer app?<br />
Be as simple as possible, make it easy for everyone to publish.<br />
Operator is quite powerful. Events, with hCalendar markup, with one click<br />
you can add to Google calendar.<br />
