#
aaronpk
wow that's thorough planning
#
GWG
aaronpk: Which?
#
aaronpk
the airport shuttle
#
GWG
SuperShuttle is an established company and they do reservations.
#
GWG
I did that in LA also.
#
aaronpk
I don't think I actualy know how far the airport is from downtown austin
#
GWG
The shuttle is $10.50 each way
#
aaronpk
oh they have a bus to downtown, nice
#
GWG
And I'm arriving at 12:30AM
#
aaronpk
oooh yeah that's late
#
aaronpk
I arrive in the afternoon

I also hear it is Lyft, not Uber territory.

Austin has Uber too, but when talking about ride-sharing I always say Lyft now, since I wasn't a fan of Uber leadership.

[manton]: tantek left you a message on 2017-09-16 at 1:01am UTC: is HWC Austin meeting on 2017-09-20 (this coming Wednesday?)
#
Loqi
[manton]: tantek left you a message on 2017-09-18 at 5:59pm UTC: looks like HWC Austin is doing well! I'll be in Austin Dec 11-16 for Moz Allhands. Interested in co-organizing an IWC Austin the weekend before? Dec 9-10?
#
[manton]
There are also some local options. Uber and Lyft left Austin for about a year, but they're back.
#
GWG
I don't use either, what do I know?
#
GWG
So, we have aaronpk, tantek, schmarty, manton, and myself. Any other feelers?
#
GWG
And do I need to bring anything?
#
GWG
I believe last time schmarty needed my microphones
#
schmarty
oh yeah. i put myself down to bring a streaming rig (chromebook + logitech wide-angle USB cam + boundary mic).
#
schmarty
GWG: i'm grabbing a copy of the mic you brought. i liked it!
#
GWG
I have good taste in budget audio hardware
#
aaronpk
I can bring a camera to stream/record the intros and demos (one-way stream rather than two-way for remote participation)
#
GWG
[manton]: Does the venue have anything in the way of equipment?
#
jjuran
I think tantek said years ago that Lyft was usable from a mobile browser, no app needed
#
GWG
I can bring USB webcams and such if needed.
#
schmarty
haha, oops. i thought i had made a note of the mic that you brought, GWG. can you remind me the brand/model of that USB boundary mic?
#
schmarty
pretty sure that is the one.
#
GWG
schmarty: It is
#
schmarty
great, thanks!
#
schmarty
so i can bring a kit identical to what we used at /2017/NYC. will wait to hear what [manton] says about the tech at the venue, though.
#
schmarty
i need to run to dinner. later, everyone!
#
tantek
aaronpk, can you help fill in the YYYY-MM-DDs for the list items in the four sections here? https://indieweb.org/timeline#Webmention (Webmention, Micropub, WebSub, IndieAuth) ?
#
tantek
(linked with citations that prove that YYYY-MM-DD date of course!)
#
tantek
all here: if anyone can help with tracking down (with citations!) the YYYY-MM-DD dates for the items listed here that would be helpful! https://indieweb.org/timeline#Needs_Dates_and_incorporation_above
#
aaronpk
Looks like a bit of a project but I can take a stab at it
#
tantek
totally incremental - even if you just add track down and cite one specific YYYY-MM-DD date in those lists (Webmention, Micropub, WebSub, IndieAuth) each day that would be great
#
GWG
Where will you two be staying in Austin?
#
GWG
And can you add it to the wiki under Hotels/AirBNB/hostel/whatever?
#
aaronpk
I'm staying at an Airbnb south of the river
#
tantek
aaronpk, my longer term project for /timeline (so to speak) is to figure out how to represent the whole thing as h-entrys and then lure snarfed into building something that consumes it automatically produces a pretty timeline visuallization a la the graphs and such at indiestats
#
tantek
and of course the On This Day module for the home page

Catching up on last night's discussion about IndieWebCamp... The rooms at the venue have a projector but no audio. So if we want to stream or record we'll have to plan for that. The venue does use a PA system in some of the larger rooms that we're not using, so there may be some equipment that we can borrow from them as well.
