Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[tantek] !tell capjamesg[d] I could use some help with wiki updates / thinking for IWC Berlin 2024 /2024/Berlin — in particular need your opinion on comparing / contrasting these "recent" IndieWebCamp wiki pages and what you like / don't like of each: /2024/Düsseldorf , /2024/Portland , /2022/Berlin , and /2019/Berlin2 and feel free to braindump your comparative impressions here in the #indieweb-events channel. I'm mostly thinking of copying 20
#
[tantek] DUS with some of the emoji treatment of 2024 PDX, however I'd like your thoughts & feelings about the different visuals, layouts, content, text copy etc. across those four.
#
GWG [tantek]: I commented on this the other day. But...for BER, any ideas on improving the remote experience?
#
[tantek] GWG, can I ask you to coordinate with Joschi directly on that? Reach out to him by email. I believe you can find him on http://tollwerk.de

#
GWG I know. I'm more thinking in the abstract
#
GWG You've been to a lot of events...what do you feel like the essential elements of a good remote participation experience are?
#
GWG Do we want to have something on the side for the remoters?
#
GWG And such.

#
capjamesg[d] [tantek] I think the PDX one has too many emojis. The emojis caught my eye before the text, and there were so many of them that I felt a bit overwhelmed (five visual assets above the fold: three emojis, one image, and the IWC logo).
#
capjamesg[d] I like the schedule table on the IWC Berlin page.
#
capjamesg[d] The colours make it stand out and easy to find when scrolling the page.
#
capjamesg[d] As an attendee, the schedule is usually what I am looking for most often, both before, during, and after the event.
#
capjamesg[d] GWG Perhaps marksuth[d] has notes on the experience as a remote attendee in Berlin in the past.
#
capjamesg[d] As for document order [tantek], I think the DUS page is well laid out.
#
capjamesg[d] Having a photo of the entranceway of the building like on DUS is helpful for people with anxiety like me for whom finding a venue can be an ordeal if the information isn't really clear.
#
capjamesg[d] We should have a sponsorship section too.
#
capjamesg[d] The list of directions written as it is on DUS is ideal: clear, concise, and direct.
#
capjamesg[d] I think that's all the comments I have right now. Let me know if you have any questions and when you have a document ready for review.
#
[tantek] That really helps a lot capjamesg++
#
Loqi capjamesg has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (199 in all channels)
#
[tantek] I will see what I can wikify accordingly
#
[tantek] Tomorrow morning for me
#
capjamesg[d] Yes, make sure you get enough sleep [tantek]!

#
[Zegnat] I was really hoping to do BER, and to be in Germany again for my bday at the end of October, but I had to cancel all my current travel plans as I will be moving at the end of October. So I cannot currently commit to anything. If I end up going to BER, it will be a last minute.

GWG Venue rental if split enough ways could be not too bad
#
GWG If we have economical venues
#
GWG The question is what the threshold for people is
[manton] joined the channel
#
[tantek] We have some OpenCollective funds we can use for renting some venues too
#
GWG [tantek]: I know.. but we have to ask the question of what people attending might kick in
#
GWG I hate to ask, but I'm a realist
#
capjamesg[d] I thought the OpenCollective money was to cover the cost of events?
#
capjamesg[d] (and tech costs, hosting, stickers, etc.)
[benatwork] joined the channel
#
[tantek] yes capjamesg[d], that's the first place we try to turn to for such things
