#
sknebel
eep indeed
#
aaronpk
part of what caused that to not restart automatically is apparently we're getting crawled hard right now from "Vegi bot"
#
sknebel
googling them most hits are "bad bot ban lists"...

taking the IWC meta here
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
tantek
[manton] in previous IWCs we've been able to list folks who only registered through the various event systems in an additional section on the Guest List, e.g. https://indieweb.org/2017/Austin/Guest_List#RSVPs_from_Eventbrite_or_Facebook
#
tantek
e.g. here's an earlier example from last year's IWC LA: https://indieweb.org/2016/LA/Guest_List#RSVPs_from_other_sites
#
tantek
looks for a FB POSSE copy
#
Loqi
Thanks! We need one more person to confirm the retweet!
#
tantek
that's pretty cool
#
tantek
!tell [chrisaldrich] how did you decide who to list on https://indieweb.org/2016/LA/Guest_List#RSVPs_from_other_sites ? cc: [manton]
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek
aaronpk - that's a good practice (explicit question on event registration whether it's ok to list attendance publicly) and something we should document somewhere - also good q [manton] re: "what best practice is for this, or whether people would expect their name to be listed publicly?"
#
[manton]
I didn't add anything specifically about this on the EventBrite page, unless it's there as a default.
#
sknebel
(shouldn't loqi have shown a preview for the thread, or am I imagining things?)
#
aaronpk
hm are loqi's tweet previews broken?
#
tantek
yeah kevinmarks and I noticed that yesterday I think
#
aaronpk
weird that it works in -chat
#
aaronpk
Loqi: y u no like meta
#
aaronpk

what is a contribution graph
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "contribution graph" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
tantek
contribution graph is /posting_graph
#
Loqi
ok, I added "https://help.github.com/articles/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile/" to the "See Also" section of /posting_graph

edited /Events (-86) "emojicon instead of manual float span (likely need to fix a lot of these)"

#
tantek
Zegnat ^^^ if you feel like browsing around and checking for manual emojicons and switching them to use the template - the wiki update "fixed" the reasons for margin-hacking the emojicons, which the template now fixes, but there's hardcoded spans floating around
#
Loqi
Thanks! We need one more person to confirm the retweet!
#
sknebel
... and no preview again?

#
aaronpk
snarfed: any reason you added oauth.net/org to the list of site deaths?
#
aaronpk
removes them from the /site-deaths page and hopes that correction will make its way into this week's audio newsletter :)
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
schmarty
Oops, I should click through to verify site-deaths before adding them to the audio edition
#
tantek
whoa seriously?
#
tantek
oh dear that may have indirectly been my fault for asking snarfed to document the old "open stack" per-site spec site deaths
