#colintedfordPersonally I'd prefer linebreak=br but I guess it's a matter of taste
#tantekwould compromise with treating single line-breaks after 70 chars as hard-wrapping for text files. line-break before 70 chars would be treated as meaningful

#Loqi[indieweb] "vorgestern habe ich bemerkt, dass der theawl.com-RSS-feed jetzt auch wieder volltext anzeigt — nachdem theawl.com kürzlich zu medium.com migriert ist, funktionierte das für eine weile nicht. heute lese ich in der ankündigung, dass superfeedr.com von medium gekauft wurde, dass das jetzt auch für alle alle medium-nutzer funktioniert. das ist eine gute nachricht. ob es eine gute nachricht ist, dass superfeedr von medium aufgekauft wurfe weiss ich nocht nicht. es ist aber wohl so, dass in letzter zeit einige leute die dem offenen netz und dem indieweb nahestehen, zu medium gegangen sind, in festanstellung.

#sandrowonders what the *indoor* weather will be like at IWC tomorrow.... Sometimes when it's hot outside, places still super air-condition the inside.
#tantekjust can't stop wiki-ing when I find silos doing dumb things
#tantek.comedited /IndieWebCamps (+241) "/* Before */ get sponsors for list: food, travel assistance, kid related or child care" (view diff)
#tantekhey everyone we got a request for kid related or child care (last minute, like today) for IndieWeb Summit (but after we sold out) so I've added that to the list of items to plan for before an IndieWebCamp. Feel free add more support etc.: https://indiewebcamp.com/IndieWebCamps#Before
#kylewmScott hanselman asked about that too, I didn't give a very useful answer
#tantek.comedited /event (+207) "/* Facebook */ just viewing, see also create and edit (links)" (view diff)
#tantekkylewm - hmm definitely feel free to share anything like that!
#tantekgood to capture requests / needs so we can adapt and accomodate better in the future
#gRegorLoveI think GWG just did the ti.to registration, so if aaronpk adjusted the amount available last night, there might still be 1 rsvp spot available
#aaronpkWe had someone else sign up last minute too so it's totally full!
#Loqijkphl: [shaners] left you a message on 2/12 at 8:42am: There’s a new iteration of the logo redesign. Wanna take a look and see if it meets your approval? (Since you commented on the previous iteration.) /logohttp://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-02-12/line/1455295364728
#gRegorLovekylewm: email notifications via ti.to registration were helpful this year, made it seem more official
#tantekgoal: have Indie RSVP work without any need to use Tito (based on lots of people tried to do that)
#bearwebmention response to tito would enable a discount code
#tantekrhiaro: for me it's a higher barrier to have to pull out my credit card
#tantekkylewm: this is the best (event site) it's been
#tantekaaronpk: three issues with trying to only use indie RSVP
#tantekaaronpk: 1. in order to email you receipt / updates / whatever you would need to put your email in the h-card on your RSVP (which maybe 2 people do today)
#bearmy email is on my contact page but I didn't register :/
#ben_thatmustbememy email is on my contact page (not linked anywhere)
#tantekpossibly an ephemerality use-case, publish your email for only 24 hours as part of your h-card in your RSVP so that event page can get it
#kylewmbenwerd: we've done a lot of individual outreach; should we start doing outreach to groups that have thought about this issues a lot ... e.g. Code 2040
#kylewmshaners: my goal for IWC LA is to have 100 attendees, going to require a lot of outreach, create new challenges
#kylewmoutreach to groups like RailsBridge and PyLadies and node something or GirlsWhoCode
#bearwith that level of a target goal we (IMO) need to have moved out of the generation 0 to at least generation 1
#JeenaOn the last HWC I was asked if I do something to get those who work together with me and are from India to get them to come to a HWC. The idea the woman had was that when they get hoocked in Sweden and then go back to India (because they're mostly working for 6 months) they would initiate it there, like I was in Portland last year and started the HWC in Sweden.
#KevinMarks1having andi reach out in SF really helped
#[chrisaldrich]Shaners: The local LA Drupal group has a small but concrete DrupalChicks subgroup ; There's also an LA chapter of Girl Develop It: http://gdila.org/
#KevinMarks1waffle.js is a monthly meetup centered around programming, waffles, and karaoke in SF that you can sign up to speak at https://wafflejs.com/speakers
#KevinMarks1donutjs is A fun night of code and donuts in Portland once a month - sign up to speak at http://donutjs.club/speak/
#[chrisaldrich]I've got a list of web-centric groups in LA including various WordPress, Drupal, Linux, php, and related meet up groups that might help the LA camp get to 100, but it'll take some pushing to get it to happen. I will say that there is a segment of very pro-community people here in "Silicon Beach" we ought to be able to tap into.
#[chrisaldrich]WordCamp LA is on July 9-10 at UC Irvine; their schedule is technically closed, but I'm going to try to do something there to help intro the IndieWeb to that group of 250+
#kylewmshaners: would could have an explicit, optional tutorial day before or after the two day event
#[chrisaldrich]DrupalCamp LA is usually about 400+ in late July/ early August and I'll do a session there as well when it comes around to do some outreach.
#bearbefore we can seriously entertain this concept then we will need to have some 1/2 tutorials/packages that will allow easy wins
#[chrisaldrich]It doesn't seem very IndieWebbish at heart, but the social network effect of having a presence on MeetUp.com may be helpful in both local/global outreach efforts...
#[chrisaldrich]A "tutorial" day sounds more inviting and productive than a "sprint" day... Sprint to me has always had a connotation of "you need to have a reasonable level of pre-knowledge to accomplish anything" to me.
#[chrisaldrich]There are a seeming lot of MOOCs (coursera, edX, et al.) that do intro basic html/php stuff that we might "infect" with IndieWeb principles. The issue is to catch the organizers/teachers at the top to help do the preliminary introductions. I know the Linux Foundation does something like this too...
#jkphl^ This is basically what I'm trying to do at the IndieWeb Hack Day in Nuremberg which is part of the openSUSE (Linux) conference ...
#beargetting people used to what the blocks are and what their bootstrap options are -- that's the crucial part
#[chrisaldrich]Is anyone in the IndieWeb Camp "hiring" students for Google's Summer of Code (this year or next?); that could be an interesting way to not only help bring in new people, but get some useful code into the community.

#[chrisaldrich]I meant to ask, is anyone streaming video/audio out of Portland right now for the travel restricted? I know I'm missing a lot by not being able to get out this weekend....
#[chrisaldrich]We seem to have a reasonable base of generation 1, it could help if we do individual outreach to a gen 2 seed group of tech forward journalists to help spread out the word....
#bearagree - the pycon community has solved this issue very well
#tantekKevinmarks - can you provide specifics of *things that have worked*
#tantekwe're trying to focus on: 1. recognize efforts that have worked to improve diversity, 2. repeat and amplify them
[shaners] joined the channel
#[shaners]chrisaldrich: we can hear your kids again. :smile:
#tantekaaronpk: lesson learned: started with just "email aaron" and that had very low results
#[chrisaldrich]On the side, I recruit high school students for a university, and in the last few days I've met with a handful of minority parents. Many students have great "content" that they've made/done at the HS level that isn't 8.5x11" to fit into a college application folder, but having it on a blog is a resaonable alternative. Reaching out to high school related groups could be worthwhile....
#bearthat time it was someone new joining and then leaving
#tantekaaronpk: so I made a Google Form which had a thing people did, to apply
#bearthe diversity item has to be paired with some group outreach and pairings
#tantekaaronpk: but we didn't have a place to broadcast its availability
#[chrisaldrich]There are lots of STEM groups in particular at many high schools and outreach progrrams out of universities that could be touched for this kind of strategy.
#bearbecause this group doesn't have the contacts required to reach those that would benefit
#tantekbear - can we separate things we "should" do that we haven't done before, and things we *have* done that have worked?
#tantekwe're trying to focus on the latter right now
#[chrisaldrich]STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education
#[shaners]bear: i don’t understand. can you rephrase?
#[chrisaldrich]t: Not directly at the level we're thinking about, but most major Universities use that type of outreach as a means of recruitment and it definitely works there
#KevinMarks1google IO asking for ethnicity did make some uncomfortable
#[chrisaldrich]I know Larry Lim (USC) who does outreach programs for minorities for STEM and could pick his brain on our behalf. Could potentially partner up with him somehow as well. https://pressroom.usc.edu/larry-lim/
#tanteksummary things: continuing and expanding the travel assistance option for future indiewebcamps
#tantek... also include travel assistance program in the sponsorship package
#KevinMarks1xoxo had childcare as a sponsor option
#[chrisaldrich]Typically STEM outreach groups are looking for event programming for local groups, and we've actually got some content to offer them. The tangible fact that students could go home with a website that they've built themselves could be awesome. Perhaps we could enlist Jim Groom to offer free hosting, etc.? http://jimgroom.net/about/
#tantek... also, compile a list of other groups to reach out to
#tantekKevinMarks: do you have contacts there? could you reach out to invite folks to the next HWC?

#[chrisaldrich]Coincidentally, my 5 year old daughter playing around in the background just asked me, "Are there any girls in that video?" HA! :slightly_smiling_face:
#Jeenawe need more "press" stuff which people in new cities could use to reach out to people instead of comming up with everything themselves. (logos, texts, design)
#tantektopic: numbers in cities, and growing # of cities
#[chrisaldrich]In my experience, even for events people have shown interest in, the personal conversation (phone call/in person) goes miles towards helping attendance.
#JeenaI agree, but I can't do that every two weeks, over and over again.
#[chrisaldrich]The LA Drupal community has become so diverse that there are easily 5 geographical subsections in the LA area. Some of our LA based issue is geographical commute time based.
#[chrisaldrich]and that's part of the segmentation issue that LA Drupal faces
#tantekchrisaldrich - am putting a lot of effort into trying to learn extrovert skills/habits
#[chrisaldrich]I'm tentatively planning a trip to Baltimore in January 2017 for a week and might be able to scare up a camp there...
#GWG[chrisaldrich]: I'll be there. I love the DC area. And there is interest down there.
#jkphl1For the records: IWC Nuremberg 2017 is set, and there will be the IndieWeb Hack Day in 3 weeks, and if I get the chance I will also organize others ..
#[chrisaldrich]Another source close to journalists, is writing programs at universities... some of my publishing related work brings me into those circles... If writing students can use sites as a portfolio as well as their own "distribution" that could be a great locus of growth.
#[chrisaldrich]Has anyone from the hosted version of Known (Gen3) at a university shown interest in joining IndieWeb more proactively? Or are they all just using an advanced tool without real knowledge of the philosophy behind it?
#[chrisaldrich]we should have an EPK (electronic press kit) with 3-5 different lengths of descriptions as well as photos and one or two good representative videos we can direct them to.
#[chrisaldrich]and we could bring forward some of the major press pieces from Wired, The Atlantic, etc. to feature them on the site. Some of these bigger press pieces are hidden in the longer stream of articles on the /news page.
#tantekthings that work for getting people to show up to HWC:
#[chrisaldrich]Jeena: I tried to see if I could disconnect/reconnect on my end, but now I'm stuck with a black screen. I'm wishing I had that frozen picture back now...
#[chrisaldrich]Quirkily, my primary use of Medium is to follow Dave Winer and Medium does a great job of giving me mobile notifications when he posts...
#bearaaronpk can I arrange for one of those to get to me?
#gRegorLove...related: multiple channels to separate discussion and avoid scaring people off
#[chrisaldrich]We're also generally on the cusp of the entry of gen2 which is going to cement the names/concepts we've got into a broader consciousness hereafter...
#gRegorLove...Slack does a great job with multiple channels/focusing topics
#gRegorLove...xoxo slack almost 2000 people and self-organized into channels
#[chrisaldrich]slack is also a more "mainstream" interface for Gen2/3 compared with a less mainstream feel of using IRC, which may scare off some of that segment of the community
#gRegorLove... xoxo slack has "badattitude" channel and the only place you can complain about stuff.
#gRegorLove... can't complain in any other channels
#bearthe problem with slack is that I can't save logs
#gRegorLove... #indieweb-dev on IRC would be Slack channel #dev and they'd be mirrored
#bearhow will slack created channels get auto-mirrored to IRC
#gRegorLove(I think it's the other way arround, bear)
#bearbut i'm worried about new channels being discovered
#M-Kodoaaronpk (IRC): quill is caching my micropub endpoint. I updated it but it keeps showing the old one

#[chrisaldrich]I like the idea of a WP channel, but at present I worry that it'd be a tad too quiet and toward being welcoming, we need to make sure there's a regular presence of people...
#[chrisaldrich]If there are too many empty channels, it could make things look like a ghosttown and more like a dying group rather than a growing one....
#[chrisaldrich]another benefit of multi-channels is that it becomes easier to catch up reading on those of a particular interest when one has been away
#bearaaronpk - can we increase the number of "ops" people to help administer these things
#bearyes ^^ we always have to view the wiki from the eyes of a new person
#bearwe can have different portal pages that cater to specialized aspects of the community
#bearact on what we have that can be acted on - trying to plan for something that can't be acted on yet is distracting
#[chrisaldrich]I was personally scared away by the current homepage for a while and had to come back several times before I began to really dig under the hood. The goal should be to make it all be more accessible to broader and broader audiences.
#Saltokay, so my laptop is official dead and not going to make it to portland...
#Saltlook forward to seeing everyone there with a very poor excuse for a backup!
#Saltalso gonna be in late so probably miss the pre-meetup thing
#[chrisaldrich]It's nice that the google search for indiewebcamp images comes back with lots of pictures of groups of people. Somewhat similar to the way that a search for "withknown images" are pictures of people
#tantekHey (self-identified) generation 1.5 people, what do you think of the overall design of 2016.indieweb.org vs the current wiki home page?
#[chrisaldrich]t: I think it should sit somewhere between the two, but closer to 2016.indieweb.org
#aaronpkthe vast majority of the current home page is about events. if we're talking about moving events to events.indieweb.org then all the event stuff on the home page can go there and it would mean much less stuff we're trying to pack in to the home page
#[chrisaldrich]the question for new visitors is what is the value proposition for the group/movement? what problem can we help them solve? There's far too much to choose from right now.
#[chrisaldrich]re: atom.io - I like the smooth modern simplicity; their tag line should be above the photo with the download link just below it. Mostly it does a good job of compatmentalizing what it does and where to jump into the product
#[chrisaldrich]it's a bit too sparse, but I like that it has more whitespace than indiewebcamp.com does right now; our current page doesn't draw people in as much as it should. Think: What would Harry and Mary Beercan expect to see when they come to the homepage from the Atlantic or Wired?

#[scottgruber]I like atom and use it as my primary editor these days. Some people say it crashes but I haven't run into that issue. I bounced between bunch of editors including bbedit, sublime, coda, but keep coming back to atom.
#[chrisaldrich]Mostly the homepage should answer: Who we are, What we do, how we can help people with links to news (for recurring visitors), events, and how can we help them.

#[chrisaldrich]Perhaps there should be different home/landing pages for each of the generations?
#SaltgRegorLove, look forward to seeing you down there and hopefully/probably sharing a ride back :)
#[chrisaldrich]Aim the homepage at gen2/3 right now with a denser landing page (what's there now) for the gen1 users?
#[scottgruber]Probably main thing for me would be clear text explanations. I appreciate this site http://indiewebify.me
#[scottgruber]I'm reading IndieWebcamp wiki site to understand how to build in IndieWeb functionality to my site. My two cents would be focus on how-to and go for good typography for readability.
