!tell schmarty,GWG shall we write up a message to send to IWC NYC ticketholders in advance? e.g. short notes maybe for the next few days of encouragement and reminding of details?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
schmarty
good day, -meta!
#
schmarty
tantek: sounds good to me! encourage folks to invite friends/coworkers? remind them of the general schedule and what to expect?
#
schmarty
looks like we still need sponsors for both days. i could get breakfast saturday. iirc last time it was bagels and fruit?
#
tantek
yes breakfast & coffee saturday would be a big help!
#
schmarty
looks like mozilla is pledged for saturday coffee ;)
#
tantek
oh yeah! nice :)
#
tantek
also do you know how to do YouTube live streaming such that it keeps a copy of the recording? So we can record sessions for folks?
#
tantek
what is livestream
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "livestream" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
tantek
hoping aaronpk or GWG can help document that just enough for us to set it up
#
tantek
schmarty: you're already on for Saturday lunch it looks like
#
schmarty
i am not trained in youtube streaming :/
#
tantek
not even audio? ;)
#
schmarty
tantek: yep, but breakfast is important, too.
#
tantek
true. but we can ask for more sponsors too
#
schmarty
i have not yet used youtube's tools :}
#
tantek
aaronpk - are there any opencollective funds available to help with IWC NYC meals sponsorships?
#
tantek
or does it all currently go to domain reg + hosting etc.?
#
aaronpk
I can check
#
aaronpk
It's meant to be a general pool for things like this so I just have to review how we're doing
#
tantek
schmarty - would still be great to get help with picking up breakfast on Saturday - and then hopefully we can use general IWC opencollective funds for that at least
#
tantek
and then thank some of the regular opencollective donors like Bridgy
#
schmarty
i can help with that. i'm not super familiar with the area around the venue, so if emmahodge has suggestions that'd be super helpful!

#
tantek
schmarty I figure for day one we can do a bit of fresh fruit (e.g. apple, bananas, oranges, strawberries from a grocery store - Dalberg has a kitchen we can use to cut / prep), and maybe a few (half dozen? dozen max) bagels and some shmear
#
tantek
I'll ask Emma - though I'd also suggest searching Foursquare within a 2 block radius of Dalberg
#
tantek
Foursquare is exceptionally good in NYC (where it was founded and still HQ)
#
schmarty
i can probably figure that stuff out. ?
#
schmarty
(if somebody else can get coffee)
#
tantek
pretty sure I can handle coffee :)

that's a good division of labor :)
#
tantek
lunch we can plan just-in-time based on # / set of attendees / preferences
#
tantek
e.g. go out or order sandwiches etc.
#
tantek
aaronpk https://opencollective.com/indieweb#events says "No event has been scheduled yet." - how do we add IWC NYC to that?
#
tantek
I see a Create an Event button but I figured we should agree on some coordination for things like that
#
aaronpk
oh huh i don't remember that site having events! they must have added that recently
#
tantek
what is open collective
#
Loqi
open collective is a service for collecting donations and transparently tracking how the money is used https://indieweb.org/open_collective
#
aaronpk
oh huh they do ticketing too
#
tantek
I figure I'll let you decide the best way to use that / those new feature(s) and perhaps note it in /open_collective
#
aaronpk
might have to experiment with this to see if it ends up being more straightforward than ti.to
#
tantek
tito seems pretty straightforward
#
aaronpk
they did a good job of making the user flow straigthforward
#
aaronpk
as an organizer there are about a million options I don't need and it's always a challenge to wade through the menus
#
aaronpk
they support events that have a way more complicated structure than ours
#
tantek
oh ok
#
aaronpk
heh, i might have to file a feature request with opencollective before we can use this: https://media.aaronpk.com/Screen-Shot-2017-09-26-09-34-10-8cWk59ZLU7.jpg
#
tantek
nice :)
#
tantek
is that a mockup, from their current UI?
#
aaronpk
i made an event to test
#
aaronpk
hm the dates on the /events page doesn't match the Instanbul page
#
tantek
o rly
#
tantek
EmreSoku_: you around?
#
aaronpk
tito and the event permalink agree so i'm going to guess the events page is wrong

do you have any interest / time for mini-indieweb-leaders discussion Friday? https://indieweb.org/2017/NYC/Planning#Leaders_Meetup
#
aaronpk
just filed a bunch of feature requests on opencollective
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] #427 option for what questions are asked when people register for events
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] #428 new event type that just links out to an existing page
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] #429 sync events from an ics or Microformats2 feed
#
tantek
wow they are on gh
#
aaronpk
yep it's all open source!
#
tantek
ok that's pretty amazing
#
tantek
would be good to get some mf2 on their pages!
#
aaronpk
i could probably just send a PR for that
#
aaronpk
i'll try asking in their slack about their thoughts on it
#
aaronpk
i'd like to present a concrete consuming case before i do tho
#
tantek
right, something they can use to run regression tests with so it doesn't just break with their next update

hm is our /open_collective page a good place to capture this kind of meta stuff?

aaronpk or /IndieWebCamps - pretty sure there are some How To section(s) there

oh i meant about the feature requests

what is community
#
Loqi
IndieWebCamp is a community that has come together out of a set of shared principles, including a focus on user-centered design and valuing selfdogfooding over storytelling https://indieweb.org/community
#
tantek
sknebel: maybe start there?
#

community infrastructure is /community

#
[kevinmarks]
yes, I could probably manage Friday - still workign out what I'm up to then
#
aaronpk
okay caught up on documenting expenses from IWS (oops)
#
aaronpk
how many are we looking at attending NYC? looks like under 10?
#
tantek
currently 8 by my count on the event page - though from past experience I expect a few (a bunch?) more last minute sign-ups
#
tantek
(3 indie rsvp, 4 regular tickets, 1 waiting for emmahodge organizer/host rsvp)
#
tantek
aaronpk I literally just added "estimate attendance" to the planning page for that :)
#
tantek
top of food section since that's the primary impact: https://indieweb.org/2017/NYC/Planning#Food
#
aaronpk
okay I'll set aside $100 for NYC food
#
tantek
schmarty ^^^ sound good? we can make a judgment call at the time if we end up needing any more
#
schmarty
tantek: sounds good! that gets a lot of coffee and bagels.
#
aaronpk
you don't need to spend it all :P
#
aaronpk
and the best way will be to send receipts through that site
#
tantek
this will be interesting
#
tantek
first time we've done this I think
#
tantek
aaronpk - unless you did for IWS?
#
aaronpk
I paid for IWS stuff on the business card tied to that LLC
#
aaronpk
i've reimbursed a few other people before, but not through the opencollective site
#
tantek
right, so that will be interesting to do first time
#
aaronpk
yep, hopefully is straightforward
#
schmarty
aaronpk: we will aim not to spend it all. :}
#
tantek
just chatted with Emma - I'm going to get keys etc. from her to open up Saturday morning (she's doing a training run)
#
tantek
schmarty shall we do a sign to hang up inside the doors of the building like we did last year?
#
schmarty
that sounds good. i don't remember the details about it. was it an 8.5"x11" hung with tape or something more fancy?
#
tantek
8.5x11
#
schmarty
should be nice and easy. contents something like IWC logo, "IndieWebCamp NYC", floor number?
#
tantek
and I think contact info because the outside doors will be locked and not sure if there will be a security person there or not to let folks into the elevators
#
schmarty
hmm. should we instruct people to ping you in #indieweb, followed by a fallback phone number (i am happy to use mine)?
#
tantek
yeah, pinging the main channel is the best bet for sure
#
tantek
that way anyone at the camp can notice and get someone's attention IRL
#
tantek
schmarty do you have a /contact page?
#
schmarty
haha, i had to check. i do not. my email is in my homepage h-card, but i generally don't publish my phone number on the web.
#
Loqi
nice
#
tantek
yeah there's no reason to
#
tantek
a /contact page can (should) have whatever methods you want folks to attempt to contact you with
#
tantek
in relative preference order
#
tantek
you could also add more methods (e.g. phone number) if someone is logged into your site via IndieAuth (and maybe on a white-list)
#
schmarty
i'm realizing i have no realtime contact methods on my site.
#
tantek
alright I'm hearing very few folks able make / host an IWC MIT this year but some interest next year (adjacent to LibrePlanet), so i'm going to bump out its planning to 2018
#
tantek
similarly Brighton which I think adactio confirmed he cannot do this year

EmreSoku_: awesome!
#
tantek
did you see the question about conf dates from aaronpk above ?
#
EmreSoku_
no
#
EmreSoku_
I'm looking
#
tantek
the dates were different on the /2017/Istanbul vs /events
#
tantek
just confirming - is it Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun or ??? something else
#
EmreSoku_
oh
#
EmreSoku_
it's Sat only
#
EmreSoku_
i'll fix that, let me see
#
EmreSoku_
ok, yes, I need fix /events, I'll do it now
#
tantek
well with Austin and Istanbul we're only one behind the # of IWCs in 2016
#
tantek
so if I can get help with (and some how plan) IWC SF 2017, then we'll be at parity for # of IWCs 2016 to 2017
#
tantek
which makes me feel like we might be bottlenecking on a small number of folks who are actually organizing them
#
tantek
would appreciate any help / insights from anyone who has thought about planning an IWC but hasn't
#
EmreSoku_
FYI, I was already asked for another one in Izmir, most of the people I've invited are there, and they want one in Izmir :)
#
tantek
that's awesome
#
EmreSoku_
hopefully this first one will be okay, then we'll see :) Austin is great, maybe someone can do one in Las Vegas, it's another emerging hub.

EmreSoku_: about how many folks do you have signed-up for IWC Istanbul? is there a page where you can see RSVPs?
#
tantek
or is it hidden for privacy reasons?
#
tantek
(which is fine too - just curious either way)
#
EmreSoku_
on ti.to we have 20+ people I believe
#
EmreSoku_
we have another 6 on slack, some 3-5 people confirmed via email, and then 7 yes 7 maybes on Facebook
#
EmreSoku_
so...
#
tantek
wow that's great!
#
tantek
hopefully it's ok to take and post a photo
#
EmreSoku_
Definitely, I will. We will livestream too, I don't know the address yet but it will be announced at KWorks' (the host) Twitter account.
#
tantek
great
#
aaronpk
EmreSoku_: If you want to stream it on our YouTube account I can set you up with access
#
EmreSoku_
aaronpk, that'd be great, can we livestream on YouTube?
#
EmreSoku_
never done that before
#
aaronpk
Yep! Stream only, not two way
#

I'll check it with the host and let you know, thanks!

evening GWG

I am so disappointed. My electrician hurt himself. No outlet for me. Otherwise, looking forward to Sunday
#
tantek
should be plenty of outlets Sunday
#

Not in my kitchen
#

Anything I need to do for Sunday?
#
tantek
I'm not sure IndieWebCamp would fit in your kitchen, would it?
#
tantek
GWG - we could use some help documenting livestreaming since none of us (me, schmarty) know how
#
tantek
what is livestreaming
#
Loqi
live streaming is the practice of streaming media (mostly audio or video) live as the captured event is happening https://indieweb.org/livestreaming
#
GWG
You mean for an IWC event?
#
tantek
you had a pretty good setup last year
#
GWG
I have to remember each time, but will do when I get home
#
tantek
it would be great to both livestream and use talky
#
tantek
or what was the other one, appear in maybe?
#
tantek
so we could have interactive sessions and also recorded for later
#
GWG
talky was being problematic last few times. Hangouts on Air was more reliable.
#
tantek
I don't think we were using appear.in back then
#
GWG
Are we now?
#
tantek
yes vHWC Europe has been for many months
#
tantek
what are those things called? group video chat?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "those things called" yet. Would you like to create it?

I will be in Europe on a Wednesday next month, maybe I can tune in
