| - Why is unixfsv2 dragging? Why are so many people assigned? |

There was a question on the call on "what does it mean that we have multiple people assigned". This was what I was seeing:
In IPLD OKRs
In JS IPFS OKRs

I agree there needs to be precisely one owner. This clearly isn't working.

What is the problem with having different people assigned to the spec and the implementation in each language? At the very least we should expect that the implementation in each language would have different assignees.
BTW, the draft spec has landed (not 100% finished but there are additional threads about those issues) and a standalone JS implementation has been updated to the latest spec.
Update: sorry, I didn't see that very tiny screengrab from JS IPFS OKR's. Not sure why @achingbrain was assigned that but you can mark it as complete next week when the directory PR lands (it's currently just waiting for any final objections).

The issue is that having multiple people ultimately responsible for the same task diffuses responsibility. Nobody knows who's actually responsible for what so everyone works on things they know they're solely responsible for.
Really, we should probably have "owner" and "assigned".
This clearly isn't working.
This was too harsh. You're right, progress is being made. At the end of the day, I think the correct assignment here is:
- Owner: @mikeal
- Assigned: @warpfork, @vmx, @achingbrain.

I'm not involved that much as I didn't really see the need so far. I trust @mikeal @warpfork and @achingbrain enough that they'll make the right decisions :)

| - IPLD when it started had a lot of interest in suggestions from contributors. We should go back and take a look at some of the previous ideas and issues and see how relevant they are, so can loop these contributors and ideas back in. |

Added multiple references to ipld/ipld#56

| @mikeal There is no canonical format for IPLD nodes. Converting between JSON-LD and the CBOR equivalents is managed by the developers. --@mikeal did I get this right? | ||

| @daviddias There is a lot of conversation about the IPLD DAG HTTP/RPC API https://github.com/ipfs/interface-ipfs-core/issues/81#issuecomment-277271941. DAG CBOR has less defined structure then the older Protbuf implementation, so there are some things to still work out. |

@Stebalien when you have a moment, please review https://github.com/ipfs/interface-ipfs-core/issues/81#issuecomment-277271941. I believe it is the same thing you were proposing, just that you were proposing to encapsulate everything in a JSON object and that comment is proposing to pass that information through args or headers.
| - @stebalien we can't currently just send raw data because we can't send metadata in headers (not supported by our HTTP/RPC API). JSON makes this easier though. | ||
|
|
||
| @warpfork it would be nice to have more people dedicated to IPLD, especially since there is insufficient people in Go land to review @warpfork's code. | ||
| - @daviddias utilizing older Git issues and publishing specs will help get people involved in reviewing code. |

@warpfork check in and invite everyone from ipld/ipld#56 and the previous IPLD deep dives ipfs/team-mgmt#484
I'm sure multiple people will be delighted to learn that IPLD is becoming its full org with a fully dedicated team :)

Thank you for uploading the recording. I created a playlist with all the IPLD Calls to make them easy to find:
