aaronpk - how do we share the IndieWebCamp logo with others?
#
aaronpk
I don't think that has come up before
#
tantek
so people can put buttons on their blog etc.
#
tantek
I can't even load indiewebcamp_logo_color_155.png from the site
#
tantek
the wiki software takes over and serves me a "there no such page"
#
aaronpk
where is that referenced?
#
tantek
oh ok - it's referenced from the style sheet
#
tantek
gumax something or other
#
tantek
it's the logo that's shown on the site home page
#
aaronpk
oh crazy
#
tantek
(I used Firefox inspect element to view the background image url etc.)
#
tantek
I figured you put it there
#
aaronpk
but I don't see a broken link to indiewebcamp_logo_color_155.png
#
tantek
why the dark charcoal background on those images?
#
aaronpk
they are transparent pngs
#
tantek
aha - so FF is doing that. vs. Safari puts a white background
#
tantek
weird
#
aaronpk
those are great pages

aaronpk - how come the images don't display inline on this page? http://indiewebcamp.com/buttons
#
tantek
that works on the microformats wiki for example - just putting in a URL to an image (png, gif, jpg) embeds it on the page instead of auto-linking the URL.
#
tantek
is this a MediaWiki setting?
#
aaronpk
it's not enabled by default in mediawiki
#
aaronpk
i just uploaded images to the site, one sec
#
aaronpk
we should also have some sort of "I'm creating the Indie Web" button/banner, independent of the indiewebcamp event!

aaronpk - why re-upload images to the site? ;)
jancborchardt joined the channel
#
tantek
and can we enable that MediaWiki setting? (it's more distributed web-like after all, rather than requiring uploads to a particular silo ;) )
#
tantek
and agree on a "I'm creating the Indie Web" button - we need that
#
aaronpk
gotta run, back later

aaronpk - did you make the "I'm attending" buttons?
#
tantek
shouldn't the be "I'm creating …" ? ;)
#
tantek
*they be
#
tantek
or rather, perhaps let's keep the "I'm attending … " buttons for apprentices

#IndieWebCamp joins the Mozilla Webmaker Summer of Code
#
aaronpk
neat, what exactly does this mean?
singpolyma joined the channel
#
tantek
aaronpk, it means indiewebcamp is one of many events that help advance web literacy
#
tantek
and so gets listed along with other webmaker events
#
tantek
Indiewebcamp is a pretty advanced webmaker event, and I see much potential for recruiting promising webmakers to indiewebcamp.
#
aaronpk
great!
