# 02:38 GWG MSiep: I'm bringing a laptop and a webcam and I'm going to try to stream it. Also, this chat room will be hopping.
# 02:39 MSiep Thanks. I'll join the chat room tomorrow morning then.
# 02:40 GWG Well, if you look at IWC NYC 2016 from January on Youtube, I used the same equipment and it turned out well enough.
# 02:40 GWG It isn't aaronpk and his fancy Youtube encoder device...

# 14:57 GWG tantek - There is no Indieweb installer
# 14:57 dangillmor Where's the IndieWeb install? There isn't one. There are many. (A feature, and a bug, IMO.)
[jorbin] joined the channel
# 14:58 [jorbin] The lack of ability to easy and obvious entry points can hurt adoption.
# 14:59 GWG [jorbin]: There are some initiatives.
# 15:03 [eric] Does etherpad use a centralized server, or is it distributed/uses websockets or the like?
# 15:04 [eric] huh, so no back-end server?
# 15:04 aaronpk i meant "web app" in the traditional server-hosted app
# 15:06 tantek mainly blog here about software development for the web
# 15:07 tantek I use github.io pages for one-off stuff that is HTML because that's very easy
# 15:11 tantek tried to RSVP correctly but it didn't show up
# 15:11 tantek I would like to figure out a way to do those RSVPs

# 15:13 tantek I made it at IndieWebCamp NYC in January during the snowstorm
# 15:13 tantek subequently I went to IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf this summer
# 15:13 tantek I am not a developer, and I don't work in tech or on tech things
# 15:13 tantek but I work for a consulting firm that focuses on economic and social development
# 15:13 tantek really interested in different ways that people have access to information
# 15:13 tantek the indieweb is an interesting way to explore that
# 15:14 tantek personally interested in learning more about the web works, how websites work
# 15:14 tantek tried to post that on my events page but it didn't work
# 15:14 tantek I also would like to write a blog post - about living in Geneva for 3.5 months
# 15:14 tantek things I recommend someone do if they are there
# 15:15 tantek I really appreciated at both IndieWebCamps the opportunity to learn
# 15:15 tantek GWG asks: how many do not work in development - about half
# 15:16 tantek learned about IWC last summer when learning about unhosted apps etc., been lurking on IRC
# 15:17 tantek haven't automated it yet, on my nice to have list
# 15:17 tantek I'm interested in the own your own domain aspect
# 15:17 tantek As a web security person, it kind of stresses me out, you never really own your domain, you rent your domain
# 15:17 tantek This is my website running on the TOR network
# 15:18 tantek if you use the TOR browser, when you visit my website, you're not hitting the DNS infrastructure
# 15:18 tantek I think this is an interesting thing to explore
# 15:18 tantek building things on the TOR network has implications
# 15:19 tantek challenge: getting Service Workers working, because they depend on an SSL cert

# 15:26 tantek I would like to move my personal site off this platform to something more indieweb
# 15:26 tantek I've been having some fun with the **** Python framework
# 15:26 tantek couple of lines of Python, and you're up and running with a simple web application
# 15:26 GWG ChrisAldrich: Check tantek.com, he has it on top
# 15:28 ChrisAldrich Hollywood wouldn't call it the best cinematography, but visible and clear!
# 15:28 GWG It's a Logitech Web Cam on a long USB cable.
# 15:28 GWG It is good for this sort of event
# 15:29 aaronpk audio is great for the people at GWG and tantek's end of the table
# 15:29 ChrisAldrich If someone wants to use www.noterlive.com with #Indieweb, we could capture the details here in IRC as well as broadcast to followers on twitter.
# 15:29 GWG aaronpk: If you said something, I would have moved the microphone
# 15:30 GWG I did a sound check for the far side before

# 15:37 tantek I've created some test sites with fake personas
# 15:37 tantek setup these test sites so they can talk to each other
# 15:37 tantek the theme here is one called Independent Publisher
# 15:37 tantek the developer was convinced to write his own display for webmentions

# 15:45 tantek I have a little chunk of Python code that implements the Micropub standard
# 15:51 [schmarty] everyone here has a domain of their own, as well as some hosting (maybe not their ideal, but working currently)
# 15:55 [schmarty] we are leveraging the hard work of silos like twitter, facebook, github of handling secure authentication
# 15:56 [schmarty] but indieauth supports doing this without any silos, such as GPG, or email on your own domain

# 17:31 [chrisaldrich] aaronpk: potentially. I'm on UC Irvine's wifi (while simultaneously attending DrupalCamp for outreach) and they are blocking some connections
gRegorLove joined the channel
# 17:31 aaronpk ah yeah university and corporate networks tend to block IRC
# 17:35 [chrisaldrich] playing catch up a bit... esp. since I'm on the west coast... though I think I did miss the fact that it wasn't live... thanks gRegorLove!
# 17:35 aaronpk really tempted to make a way to upload the IRC logs as subtitles to the video archives
# 17:37 gRegorLove tantek, GWG: FYI, it appears the screen-sharing doesn't come through on the stream, just shows the IWC logo. Video of the room is fine otherwise though.
# 17:37 [chrisaldrich] suppose its the issue with waking up early for NY2 and then driving like crazy to get to DrupalCamp. Attending both today may kill me.

# 18:07 MSiep Is there a different IRC channel for the n00bie session? I've only found the Etherpad link so far.
# 18:08 gRegorLove For more dev-specific talk we have #indieweb-dev, but notes and questions about IWC sessions can go in here.

# 18:23 [schmarty] gregorlove yes, Eric here lost (I think) 15 years of content on Xanga
# 18:26 tantek I just created a couple for Demos and Building Blocks
# 18:29 gRegorLove tantek: I don't see them in the main etherpad? I've got the first 2 session blocks linked though.
KevinMarks joined the channel
# 18:30 tantek I believe they are being created as sessions start
# 18:31 tantek no etherpads for those since those were presentations, they're linked directly to wiki pages I created right after the fact
Gold joined the channel
# 18:34 gRegorLove I love Goodreads as well, and the ability to set a yearly challenge for yourself, and share it with friends.
# 18:36 aaronpk my primary (only?) reason for not redirecting the wiki to https always was that a bunch of the pages hotlink http images
# 18:36 aaronpk if not, should we redirect the wiki to https before solving the mixed-warning images?
# 18:37 gRegorLove Need to determine at what version the browsers started showing them. Older versions definitely didn't.
# 18:37 aaronpk i thought browsers used to just show a large warning about mixed-content images
# 18:38 KartikPrabhu I think it also depends on the users privacy/blocking settings in the browser
# 18:39 gRegorLove Yeah, it's configurable per-browser. Only the default settings should be of concern though
rMdes joined the channel
# 18:39 gRegorLove Either way, I don't think it's a horrible UX, so in general I'm in favor of doing it.
# 18:39 aaronpk my main motivation is seeing the wiki login logs and seeing how often people keep logging in to it even though they're already logged in on the https site
# 18:40 tantek gRegorLove: btw re: further etherpads, all the sessions have hashtags so you should be able to predict the etherpads :)
# 18:41 gRegorLove I'll wait till they're linked to be safe though. newbie/n00bie varied.

# 18:45 rascul aaronpk for mixed content, firefox shows a gray lock and a yellow warning triangle where it would normally show a green lock
# 18:46 aaronpk looks like safari just doesn't show the lock icon
# 18:47 rascul or in some cases at all, unless images are stored and served locally over https
# 18:47 aaronpk my plan was to make an image proxy service for the wiki
# 18:47 aaronpk waiting until the upgrade tho because it will be diving into mediawiki guts
# 18:48 rascul is it worth it though? would it be hard to implement?
# 18:48 aaronpk i had a reasonable start to it, but it wasn't working with some of the fancy template includes
cweiske joined the channel
# 18:56 gRegorLove tantek: Someone there mentioned Xanga and losing archives. I documented what I'm seeing currently for archives on /Xanga, so maybe that helps. Or maybe they can add their experience if it doesn't work.

# 19:08 tantek GWG, there's more than one NYC2 page, gotta be more specific ;)

# 19:18 Loqi [jorbin] I’m attending IndieWebCamp NYC
# 19:19 aaronpk [jorbin] if you send the webmention manually and look at the response it will tell you things
# 19:19 aaronpk a webmention form on the page would make that easier :-)
# 19:21 [jorbin] aaronpk yah, a webmention form likely would help. I sent a pingback automatically
# 19:22 aaronpk Ah yea I should add that. webmention.io has a thing for that
# 19:22 cmal aaronpk: I read your comment on Github
# 19:22 [jorbin] "Your post doesn't seem to have an in-reply-to property"
# 19:23 aaronpk [jorbin] cool! I'm sure someone there can walk you through it. Basically you need the microformats2 markup for an rsvp in your post
Kopfstein joined the channel
# 19:24 aaronpk looks like everything is there except the in-reply-to link
# 19:25 [jorbin] aaronpk yep. Talking through that and also updating the wiki to make it clearer as we speak
# 19:25 cmal and I don't really know where we can go from there, if everything's stateless and all you have is a cache, unless it's a long-lived cache it's going to be useless to store the pinned certificate (or whatever) as one would just have to wais for the cache to die before asking for a plaintext login, so I don't know
# 19:26 aaronpk cmal: it is redis so I can cache it for a long time but you might end up on the other server when you come back which wouldn't have the setting, maybe that's okay.
# 19:26 cmal oh it's not even a shared cache? then don't even bother (sorry I thought you were saying the cache was the only data shared between instances)
# 19:27 cmal I guess like I said on Github the question is more about HTTPS within the IndieWeb movement as a whole than about HTTPS in IndieAuth in particular
# 19:27 GWG gRegorLove is identified as Amazing!!
# 19:27 cmal as long as it's considered acceptable practice for an Indieweb page to have no HTTPS available, then there's not much we can do about it :-/

# 19:30 cmal gRegorLove: sorry I quit the other day (my charger died), yes I do self-host some stuff (mostly e-mail, pads, and kanboards)
# 19:30 cmal my blog used to be hosted at home but then I didn't really have a home anymore so it became easier to just pay a few bucks for a VPS
# 19:41 gRegorLove Childcare needs are a pertinent one for indieweb, since we had requests for that at the summit this year

# 20:33 gRegorLove Meetup.com has something like participation assertion where you get to say "Good to see you" after an event
# 20:34 gRegorLove I don't think it notifies the person. I think it's just used by meetup.com to gauge how many actually showed up.
