Good morning :)
#
sebsel
waves at Berlin
[frank] joined the channel
#
[frank]
Have fun today in Berlin!
#
[frank]
[tantek] I just saw the photography policy updates on the wiki. In Utrecht we _might_ have a professional event photographer who is interested in taking some photos during the day. I'll update him on the policy. I didn't consider it but it's a good one. Thanks.
#
[tantek]
[frank] the photo policy is very new and we definitely want your input as an organizer!
#
[tantek]
We have been trying to improve it over time
#
[tantek]
In particular to be respectful of people’s personal preferences
#
[frank]
Yeah I'll def check with the photographer as well how he deals with this at other events.
gRegorLove joined the channel
#
[tantek]
We have used red borders on name tags to indicate “no photo” at last November IWC Berlin and this weekend we are using red stickers for “no” and yellow stickers for “ask”
#
[tantek]
Also we realize this is still very new so it may take a while to get all the IWCs to use it. Suggestions welcome!
#
sebsel
Yea, don't forget to mention early on that the event is live streamed too [tantek]
#
sebsel
I remember last year in Berlin we were kind of late with mentioning that
#
[frank]
Is there a specific reason to exclude green/OK stickers? So it's fine without asking. We could include at our IWC to see how it turns out.
#
sebsel
esp. which parts are visible on stream
#
[frank]
Now /me needs some coffee to write a short blogpost on our IWC and pointers to Berlin and DD.
#
[tantek]
Sebsel thanks for the reminder. I added it to /2019/Berlin/Introduction perhaps you could review?
#
[tantek]
(That’s the list of things I’ll be going over at the Introduction this morning)
#
sebsel
ah nice. but since the introductions are in that room also, it might be a bit late :)
#
[tantek]
That’s a good point
#
[tantek]
Maybe I need to announce it first?
#
[tantek]
Then we start the live stream?
#
[tantek]
Taking it to meta

Good morning IndieWeb! Berlin is starting officiall, tantek kicking it of!
#
Zegnat
organisers
#
Zegnat
(That was a little bit of a short note, but I was called upon to stand up)
#
Zegnat
Going through some house keeping, about the venue, about our name tags, about photo preferences (we have stickers for the name tags)
#
Zegnat
Showing indieweb.org/coc on the screen, if anything is “not awesome”, get to your friendly organiser for help
#
Zegnat
https://indieweb.org/discuss – for information about getting in touch with the world
[Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose]
How to join chat is now being discussed, hi new people!
#
Zegnat
We take notes on https://etherpad.indieweb.org/ (links for sessions will come up), otherwise we try and get everything up to date on the wiki
#
sknebel
sebsel: are you not muted?
#
sknebel
someone is sending typing-noises in the room

#
Zegnat
Yulia is kickig us off with a keynote
#
[Rose]
(With a fun hand drawn series of slides!)
#
Zegnat
We live in a world full of services that help us with the things we do daily: communicate, etc.
#
sebsel
sknebel I'm muted. At least, that is what the software tells me
#
Zegnat
It is easy to think you engage in one way with a service, while also engaging in a different way: like giving up ownership rights
#
[Rose]
I think we have muted all participants on our side now too.
#
Zegnat
Yulia went from “everything is fine” to being a bit hallowed.
#
Zegnat
And then she was approached by tantek and show her the indieweb: where these services do not control how you interact
#
[frank]
This Vidyo software is pretty cool stuff.
#
[frank]
TIL Indieweb potatoes are yams
#
Zegnat
Yulia happened to organise an IWC event, the first time she was also learning about the indieweb.
#
Zegnat
The people in the room helped her a lot with getting started
#
Zegnat
“It’s super … not hard” to join the indieweb
#
Zegnat
You can incrementally add things to your website: hook up to services that offer a thing you want to use
#
Zegnat
IndieWeb can be used in the same way as existing platforms: and that is important, because the ease of use is why other platforms get so much use
#
Zegnat
Being able to sign-up, get an app on her phone, and then being able to post to her own site (ownership!) and have it syndicated to Twitter (reach!) is great
#
[frank]
Takeaway for me from Yulia's talk: The indieweb helps you change the ownership model of your content.
nitot joined the channel
#
Zegnat
First up for intros: tantek. Showing his website. Since last time he added https.

Zegnat

[tantek]
you don't need the blog and syndication, if you want you can just be online with a single page
#
Zegnat
next up is [Rose]
#
Zegnat
kept losing information between different services, but moved to WordPress now where it is easier to centralise the information into a single place

Zegnat
svenknebel.de

Custom blogging system, which is one of the reasons he doesn’t post a lot. The posting experience isn’t that nice.

Zegnat
Been blogging for a long time
#
[frank]
Ah built with Hugo... I thought he said "build with Google"
#
Zegnat
Got a lot of the plugins installed, but is still somewhat unsure about how they all work
#
[Rose]
I'm pretty sure he said Hugo, I'll double check after the intros
#
[tantek]
Ian's site uses WordPress
#
[tantek]
was able to RSVP to the event and it worked automatically!

I am so digging Charlie's site and work

Zegnat
Displays a check-in and photo combination
#
Zegnat
With Drupal she now gets an API for all her site data
#
[Chris_Adams]
Charlie's site is back on drupal, because there's a nice API it exposes
#
Zegnat
Now trying to create a statically generated site, out of the Drupal API
#
[tantek]
Charlie shows JSON viewer in Firefox
#
Zegnat
Because Drupal is great for data storage, not so much for theming
#
[tantek]
twiddles open data, 3 , attributes
#
Zegnat
Looking at using Gastsby for it
#
Zegnat
But there are problems with that too ... so should she just write her own?

[tantek]
yes Charlie do it!
#
Zegnat
Next up: Jan jandinter.net
