sl007 !tell sebsel - Awake ;) Good morning. Would it make sense to "combine" DO Micropub and Websub demo - I mean by a common "subject" ?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

aaronpk i think i need to move some stuff off this server. rebooting it for now
#
Loqi aaronpk: tantek left you a message 1 day, 15 hours ago: https://2017.indieweb.org/nyc in the "Register" section has prose that says "If you post an RSVP from your site to the event page 2017.indieweb.org, " it should say "If you post an RSVP from your site to the event page 2017.indieweb.org/nyc, " - couldn't find the code for this in github repo
#
aaronpk and back
#
aaronpk it's fast again
#
aaronpk for now
#
sl007 sebsel?

#
tantek Great thanks! While you're at it - post an RSVP to the indie event 2017.indieweb.org/nyc and the FB POSSE copy https://www.facebook.com/events/804054553133873
#
GWG I intend to. How do I RSVP to part of an event?
#
tantek I'd say add a comment in your RSVP saying what parts you'll be there for
#
GWG I look forward to seeing everyone again.
#
tantek Same here!
#
GWG I am getting my Friday setup done today also. If we do leadership
#
tantek Let's seem how many folks from past IWC NYC events we can gather
#
GWG Who is still in NYC?
#
tantek GWG - so far Friday morning leaders is just me and schmarty - add yourself! http://indieweb.org/2017/NYC/Planning#Leaders_Meetup
#
tantek if it's only me and Marty there in person, it might be easier to do it completely virtually with the European folks
#
tantek but let's see who else signs up

#
sknebel tantek: Joschi had been planning a Leaders session for Berlin as well, which would be a month later (just in case you missed that, I just linked it from the Berlin page as well)
#
tantek sknebel - yes I think I saw a message from Joschi about that that I need to get back to
#
tantek but much better to track it and gather interest on the wiki!
#
sknebel ok, just wanted to make sure you knew (since it was announced quite a while back and then wasn't really talked about publicly much) :)
#

#
tantek hey sknebel - do you know where the out of date Guest_List for Berlin is coming from?
#
tantek it looks like it was copy/pasted from a very old template or previous page
#
tantek we haven't done "apprentices" for over two years
sl007 joined the channel
#
sknebel tantek: could have been copied from earlier Berlin events? not sure.
#
tantek and we have been using that separate page as a Project List instead of a Guest List
#
sknebel or earlier german events
#
sknebel AFAIR those have had those pages like they are since I've been here
#
tantek either way, I remember Joschi and Jeremy complaining about the apprentice thing at either IWC DUS or NUR this year, and that was very strange to hear about
#
tantek sknebel: can you track down what is going on? we really need at least one co-organizer of an IWC to be at least semi-active in IRC to help resolve these kinds of things
#
tantek sknebel - look at the difference in the orange/pink boxes table here: https://indieweb.org/2017/Guest_List vs https://indieweb.org/2017/Berlin/Guest_List
#
tantek just as an example
#
Zegnat They complained about the “apprentice thing”? Why?
#
sknebel tantek: We maybe should have dedicated templates for these pages? or at least a clear reference somewhere that says what the current "recommendation" is (e.g. IWS has in my impression always been advertised a bit differently from IWCs)?
#
sknebel Zegnat: because its worded like "you can't come if you can't edit the wiki yet"
#
sknebel unless someone "vouches" for you
#
Zegnat Oh, that, I thought we had pretty much moved away from all the wording that set the bar to that?
#
sknebel or at least leaves that impression. was during https://indieweb.org/2017/D%C3%BCsseldorf/onboarding
#
sknebel yes, and tantek rightly pointed out htat it still crops up, probably due to copy-paste from older pages
#
Zegnat Gotcha
#
sknebel tantek: will talk to joschi and offer to fix the current pages – would appreciate a clear reference to copy from though.
#
sknebel (I don't have much mental space for Indieweb right now sadly)
#
tantek Zegnat - it was in one of the videos
#
tantek Zegnat - yes we moved away from all that a while ago - that's the point
#
tantek I have no idea how an *old* page or template got copy/pasted
EmreSokullu joined the channel
#
tantek sknebel - things change just enough from year to year that it's just more hassle to try to keep dedicated templates up to date
#
tantek the logical assumption is - just use the most recent version of that page (from most recent IWC or IWS) as a "template" and go from there
#
tantek which is why I was confused about how/why the older language about "apprentice" was being copy/pasted into new pages
#
sknebel 2016 Berlin didn't have guest list page
#
Zegnat I am happy to go through the Berlin pages on Wednesday and get them up to IWC level. Afraid I can’t do any earlier than that :(
#
Zegnat Looks like sknebel is on a similar schedule, ha
#
sknebel Zegnat: if you have time that'd be great, I don't really
#
Zegnat I should have time on Wednesday. Should being the important word. But I schedule the evening for vHWC, and might put the quiet writing hour to wikigardening at the least.
#
Loqi definitely
#
sknebel seems like 2016/MIT changed the text. 2016/NYC still has it. and when the MIT page was created, the 2016/Nurnberg page already existed with the old text. and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the template copied around
