#
[me1850] Happy to help, too! 🙋‍♂️
#
[tantek] Please add yourselves as Volunteers to the Organizers section on /2025/Berlin !
#
[tantek] I am picking up a small present for each volunteer. Not that you needed a bribe. Pretty sure these will resonate with your interests
#
[tantek] GWG are the extra zoom rooms activated?
#
[tantek] Can you check?
#
aaronpk Not yet
#
[tantek] Can we do a full test of all the Zoom rooms today? Otherwise it will be VERY early tomorrow morning
#
GWG I'm available later to test everything
#
GWG I have 2 laptops plus my desktop set up to allow monitoring of 3 rooms independently from here.
#
[tantek] I’ll be at Moz Berlin to test in ~20min
#
[tantek] GWG When you’re ready either the Zoom links please add them to the Remote Participation section
#
[tantek] On the 2025 Berlin page
#
[tantek] with* the Zoom links
#
[tantek] can anyone else activate the other rooms or is this a SPOA?
#
[tantek] At Mozilla, GWG can you give me a Zoom number and code to test? Ok to use a temp one
#
[tantek] Btw confirmed we have seating for 27
#
[schmarty] [tantek] if you can check for markers there I'd appreciate it! Otherwise I'll try and visit McPaper this evening.

#
[Jo] I can also help out, i'll arrive at about 9:30 tomorrow tho so i cant help with setting up on day 1
#
[schmarty] haha, wow, looks like we're good 😂
#
[tantek] GWG, zoom coordinates please
#
GWG One second... just was finishing a meeting.
#
[tantek] You can put it in #indieweb-random to not archive it
#
GWG aaronpk: If you could, we think we could have up to 4 tracks
#
[tantek] main, red, orange, yellow
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[tantek] Also we have plenty of Covid tests to spare for both days for everyone
#
[tantek] Organizers, volunteers, let’s encourage folks to test as they come in
#
[tantek] I put 25 tests at reception and we have 45 more
#
GWG Are the tests Mozilla themed?
#
[tantek] They are not
#
GWG [tantek]: Are they inexpensive and plentiful in Germany?
#
[tantek] Yes and yes. Though Mozilla keeps them in stock in the office because that’s what heroes do
#
GWG [tantek]: Mozilla++
#
Loqi Mozilla has 1 karma over the last year
#
GWG aaronpk: Sorry to keep asking... forgot the command for a timer
#
GWG Just worried about not being ready after getting up at 4am
#
aaronpk ok working on it now
#
aaronpk ok all 4 accounts are licensed now
#
GWG aaronpk: Sorry to be a bother and thank you
#
[tantek] aaronpk++ thank youuuuuu ❤️
#
Loqi aaronpk has 6 karma in this channel over the last year (129 in all channels)
#
[tantek] Need to draft the “night before” email to send to registered folks tonight
#
[tantek] If someone is up for starting that email (lots of prior versions on the wiki) as a subpage or /2025/Berlin , I’d appreciate it!

#
[tantek] Remaining sponsorship opportunities if someone is able to cover say, breakfast snacks or lunch
#
[schmarty] I am happy to sponsor monetarily, haha
#
GWG Do you need remote support on Sunday?
#
[tantek] GWG ideally for the main room for hackday demos
#
GWG [tantek]: Sent you a private message
#
[me1850] I have created a page and first draft of the Email here: https://indieweb.org/2025/Berlin/Planning/Emails
#
GWG I might need a backup for recording the demos
#
GWG capjamesg, could you be available on Sunday if I need a backup to start/stop/moderate?
#
[tantek] [me1850] ++ thank you!!! Looks good. Will tweak a little and send out!
#
Loqi [me1850] has 5 karma in this channel over the last year (10 in all channels)
#
[me1850] [tantek] Please be aware that the mail links to the "Breakfast..." section from the 2024 event still. I haven't researched if all the places are still around, so I didn't copy the section to the 2025 event. But maybe that's good enough!?
#
[tantek] Saw that. Yes we should copy that section to /2025/Berlin in approximately the same spot
#
[tantek] A quick google maps search should work to verify the which places are still there and are open before the camp in the morning
#
[me1850] Ok. I'll do that in a minute...
#
[me1850] Added the "Breakfast.." section to 2025 and updated the URL in the Email. Cafés all still exist with the same opening hours.
#
[tantek] Nice! that's great to hear. I'm going to see if I can make it to Mozilla to make an espresso myself but that 8am cafe is going to be a VERY tempting stop on the way from from *Schlesisches Tor*
#
[tantek] [schmarty]++ thank you! we do have open collective funds we could tap into a bit so that's another possibility. mostly the call for sponsorship was to see if anyone wants to sponsor on behalf of their org/company and get listed here accordingly: https://indieweb.org/2025/Berlin#Venue_sponsor
#
capjamesg GWG I have plans for the whole of Sunday.
#
capjamesg I will be in attendance on Saturday though and can help if anything is needed!
#
GWG Okay, I need to find someone to act as a backup
#
GWG Maybe someone on site, I have a brewing personal thing I won't have confirmation on yet

capjamesg Sorry I couldn't be more helpful 😭
#
tantek.com zachary_kai[d] are you coming to IWC Berlin in person?
#
tantek.com You're listed on the page in the Remote section: https://indieweb.org/2025/Berlin#Remote yet I found an in-person ticket for you
#
tantek.com [edit] You're listed on the page in the Remote section: https://indieweb.org/2025/Berlin#Remote yet I found an in-person ticket for you
#
tantek.com [edit] You're listed on the page in the Remote section: https://indieweb.org/2025/Berlin#Remote yet I found an in-person ticket for you
#
[me1850] I made a list/stream/feed/collection of all the (RSS) feeds from participants of IWC Berlin: https://feed.city/c/dan/l/IWC+BER+2025 (at least what I could find from people listed in the "Participants" section). You could follow along, and/or check out other people's websites from there (those are listed in "Feeds").
#
[tantek] Amazing! Can you make a Bluesky “follow pack” too? I believe [KevinMarks] knows how to or can help you make one
#
[KevinMarks] there is a ui for it, it's pretty clear how to make one
#
[tantek] can you link to that in a "How to" on /Bluesky ?
#
[me1850] I don't have a Bluesky account, though.
#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] can you perhaps make one for us?
#
[KevinMarks] The bluesky name is "Starter Pack" - you do need a bsky readable account to list though - https://bsky.app/starter-pack/kevinmarks.com/3kz3ja4hr2j2h is the indieweb one I made a while ago that I can add people to, or I can make an IWC one. [snarfed] is there a way to map to bsky quickly from a feed with bridgy?
#
[tantek] [me1850] take a look at this update if you're still up, I think this is ready to send out: https://indieweb.org/2025/Berlin/Planning/Emails
#
[tantek] If someone (Organizer? Participant?) can give that ^ a thumbs up, I'll give it to Marc to send along to people's emails
#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] yes I think it would be great if you could make an "IndieWeb Berlin" starter pack that was JUST people who are signed up to go to IWC Berlin
#
[tantek] and then those who show up in the morning
#
[KevinMarks] OK. It will include me as it always includes the creator. I'll have a look at the event now and see who I can find
#
[me1850] The Email looks good to me!
#
[tantek] yes [KevinMarks] you may always include yourself 😆
#
[tantek] we just need to get you to IWC Berlin eventually 😄
#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] can you add bsky bridgy addresses?
#
[tantek] realizes he doesn't have a rel-me to that on his home page for bsky users
#
[KevinMarks] yes, though it doesn't see brand new ones at the moment
#
[KevinMarks] is there a bsky bridge for https://mastodon.social/@jkphl
#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] this is my bsky on Bridgy: http://tantek.com.web.brid.gy
#
Loqi [preview] Joschi Kuphal
#
[tantek] are you able to add that to your IndieWeb starter pack?
#
[tantek] Thank you [me1850]!
#
[KevinMarks] daniel, do you have a bridgy to bsky?
#
[me1850] Nope
#
[tantek] email sent to Marc and txted him too. Hopefully he is awake and able to send it
#
[KevinMarks] you do now https://bsky.app/profile/danielpietzsch.com.web.brid.gy
#
capjamesg [me1850] I love this!
#
[KevinMarks] hm, i'm getting an error creating the feed
#
[KevinMarks] s/feed/starter pack/
#
[KevinMarks] ah, there's a hidden description length limit. This works now
#
[KevinMarks] https://go.bsky.app/2y2RT86
#
[KevinMarks] Let me know when more people show up and I'll add them. Bridgy Fed is a neat way to squeeze them in (didn't work for https://jkphl.is/ )
#
Loqi [preview] [Joschi Kuphal] Joschi Kuphal I'm a certified web & document accessibility specialist based in Nuremberg, Germany. I'm also the founder and working proprietor of tollwerk, a web and advertising agency with ...
#
[KevinMarks] [Joschi_Kuphal] will need to opt into bridgy from https://mastodon.social/@jkphl
