[capjamesg] Happy IndieWebCamp day everyone!
#
[tantek] Good morning! [Schepp] [me1850], Joschi and I are waiting for the U-Bahn
#
[tantek] ETA 09:30. Do we have a webcamera for the zoom?
#
[Schepp] We are already on site! Looking forward to seeing you 😊
#
[me1850] 👋
#
burgeonlab [tantek]: That's an important question! 🎦 I think some Android phones can operate as webcam via USB or there's an app that shares the camera over wifi... https://droidcam.app/. idk about iphones
#
[tantek] I can try to setup my second laptop
#
[tantek] I forgot to bring a usb camera
#
[tantek] We are almost there

#
deathcomestotime is anyone taking notes on the intros?
#
[tantek] good question
#

#

#
burgeonlab Hi, I'm able to listen (only for now, metro too noisy) in on the meeting now but Zoom is asking for meeting passcode? I'm on Android. Anyone can help?
#
[morgan] I just added myself to the wiki page about remote participation!
#
[morgan] I only just learned of this now
#
paultibbetts it didn't ask me for a passcode - I used https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84742180084?pwd=yaE9OA4RMOjoyi2MLiQg7JsDbAX5bZ.1 for the zoom
#
burgeonlab paultibbetts: I'll try again, I used the one from the wiki
#
paultibbetts burgeonlab: notes from the intros are at https://etherpad.indieweb.org/2026-04-25-iwc-dus , we're about to start the barcamp sessions
#
GWG No one is answering me. How many Zooms?
#
GWG I'm trying to break out some laptops
#
burgeonlab thanks Paul. the zoom link, although different, is unfortunately is also not working for me.
#
[morgan] Fun to check in and see the activity, its kind of very early morn where I am and I just woke up kind of in a daze
#
GWG I'm trying to find the power cord for an old laptop
#
burgeonlab [morgan]: it's my first time joining but I'm out on my phone and absolutely no luck with Zoom. I missed the intros anyway, maybe will see if I can get home quickly in time to join one of the barcamp sessions! which one are you looking to join, Morgan?
#
paultibbetts GWG: sounds like 2 zooms
#
GWG Next time someone tells me in advance it will only be one session, I'm not believing them
#
GWG Where's the session grid?

[capjamesg] Schedule is updated with sessions at https://indieweb.org/2026/D%C3%BCsseldorf/Schedule#Saturday
#
[capjamesg] GWG ^^
#
paultibbetts burgeonlab: asked about passcode, it sounds like there shouldn't be one, are you joining from web?
#
paultibbetts capjamesg: your private posts etherpad is linking to the LLM one
#
burgeonlab I tried joining in a chrome browser (android) and then downloaded the Android app but both failed asking for passcode or error message (failed to join). I've joined meetings on my phone before... but that's a while ago. anyway, I'll just have to wait till I'm home I guess. sorry for the trouble.
#
alex4 hello!
#
GWG How long do I have?
#
GWG I wasn't prepared for this for reasons previously explained

#
GWG It was originally in the main room
deathcomestotime joined the channel
#
GWG Oh well
#
[tantek] oh sorry!
#
[tantek] are we in the wrong Zoom capjamesg?
#
[tantek] GWG, are we recording the home page session?
#
GWG Yes
#
[tantek] can you hear us ok?
#
[tantek] and no typing sounds?
#
GWG I hear people, but it is a bit low
#
GWG Are you all in homepage design?
#
[capjamesg] Yes.
#
GWG So, I hear
#
[tantek] can you see video
#
GWG No, just a picture of james
#
GWG Holding a phone
#
[tantek] GWG would you rather have no video or only video of the facilitator?
#
GWG No video, I'll do mp3
#
[tantek] GWG, that's fine too!
#
[tantek] maybe we should do mp3 versions of all the sessions for a podcast?
#
GWG I
#
GWG I already do that
#
GWG Chris suggested it years ago

Loqi GWG has 29 karma in this channel over the last year (44 in all channels)
#
[tantek] we need to put each camp into a podcast season!
#
GWG [tantek]: No one liked my watch party idea for old sessions
#
GWG Maybe audio would work better
#
[tantek] I think that's a different thing?
#
[tantek] audio podcasts people can listen to while walking or on transit etc.
#
[capjamesg] I'd do a watch party.
#
GWG Starting with 2014 IWCs?
#
GWG Tell me when to stop the recording
