GWG [artlung]: That hotel I stayed at two years ago, that's near this year's venue, right?
#
GWG No ASH this year, so pricing is less nuts

#
[morganm] I've talked to three people who are interested in restarting a Bellingham based event
#
[morganm] gRegor has laid a foundation for it to happen again from years ago , plus there are some folks in Seattle who are listed on the wiki as wanting to have an event
#
[morganm] So feeling optimistic
#
[morganm] oh to clarify, a singular event, then in the possibly less likely outcome there is sustained interest a recurring event
#
[artlung] GWG correct. Rio Vista Promenade trolley stop is very close to that hotel which is in the same block of the Starbucks.
#
[Al_Abut] Being near a trolley stop is going to help a lot this year.
#
[Al_Abut] Trolley sounds old timey with clangy bells and whatnot but it’s our name for our light rail system
#
[Al_Abut] The one drawback is that it doesn’t go to the airport (boo, even LA is fixing that mistake) but there’s a free shuttle that’s pretty speedy, it cuts through the airport itself for like half of it
#
GWG Which line is this?
#
GWG Yes, it says it is an 11 minute walk to that station.
#
GWG It is also back to 2023 pricing.
#
GWG Thank you, hematologists for going elsewhere
#
GWG So, if I leave town via the train, that would take me to the station, it looks like
#
GWG I may have to come via plane, leave via train
#
GWG In other news, prepping my office for being the remote AV person for IWC Berlin
#
[artlung] Green Line. Trolley.
#
GWG I need to track down a ticket to San Diego though
#
[morganm] Is there a suggested set of topics for a one day IWC event ?
#
GWG [morganm]: That depends on what people want to talk about, doesn't it?
#
[morganm] Yeah I'm gonna get feedback on that definitely but still, are there some corpus of material people draw from ?
#
[morganm] In excited news; my local Linux user group is thinking of having a meetup topic about having your own website that might help generate more interest towards a January event

#
[tantek] what is IndieWebCamp Organizing
#
Loqi IndieWebCamp Organizing is a great way to bring together your local IndieWeb community https://indieweb.org/IndieWebCamp_Organizing
#
[tantek] ^ bunch of stuff there that may help. it needs some re-organizing but a lot of decent raw material there

[Al_Abut] [aaronpk] Ran across the piece of UX you might be interested in for Meetable. Defaults to adding all events in a series and has a secondary option for adding just the specific event. You can easily imagine the same design with the priorities reversed, or just added a link at the bottom of the current ones saying “add all events in a series” or some such.

#
[Al_Abut] (Not a feature request, just idea fodder)
#
aaronpk nice
#
Loqi aaronpk: GWG left you a message 4 days, 2 hours ago: Can you activate the extra 2 Zoom rooms totalling 3 for IWC Berlin next weekend?
#
aaronpk i still need to make a way to edit the events to link them together
#
[Al_Abut] Ah
#
aaronpk but i do want to do that
#
[Al_Abut] I did successfully (finally) just add all the indieweb events, btw
#
[Al_Abut] And it’s so damn satisfying
#
aaronpk right now if you clone an event from a previous one it creates a chain of events, but it needs to be editable
#
[Al_Abut] So thanks for this and all the other apps

#
[schmarty] tantek: I have a collection of pronoun pins, IWC pins, IWC stickers, large orange and pink planning wall post-its, and name tag stickers. Shall I bring these along with me to Berlin?
#
[schmarty] I also have a usb table mic, but I no longer trust the old Chromebook I used to run it 🤔
#
[tantek] Yes please all the above! If space is tight you may omit the large post-its and I can see what I can find around the office (usually small/medium post-it’s only)
#
[tantek] Don’t worry about the mic. We’ll have the conference room zoom setups join the IndieWeb zooms and that has worked well in the past
#
[schmarty] Will do! (The first batch I mentioned)
