#
aaronpk omg so many links
#
aaronpk I need a script to convert mediawiki links to markdown, heh
#
schmarty oh no, i didn't realize there was a translation step
#
schmarty sorry about that. i could have used a gist or similar. maybe worth noting on one of our planning pages
#
aaronpk well I like having the archive in the wiki anyway
#
aaronpk here goes!
#
schmarty 🤞
#
aaronpk 📬

#
aaronpk thank you for writing it!
#
schmarty of course! i just revised the one for /2017/NYC, which i blatantly ripped off of the one you wrote for /2017 :}
#
aaronpk that's what it's there for :)
#
schmarty i really appreciate it. i love organizing and hosting events but i often get bogged down by unknowns. the content on the wiki and the general indieweb habit of making reusable content are truly enabling. :}

#
[artur] hi! is anyone going to IWC Baltimore from NYC?
#
schmarty hi [artur]! GWG is coming down from NYC. i am not sure how he plans to make the trip, but i will guess (in order of what i think likely): air, train, or bus
#
schmarty [artur]: i prefer amtrak for NYC <=> BAL travel, but am also a fan of Bolt Bus
#
[artur] all right, thanks! I was just curious, haven’t bought my ticket yet
#
[artur] Bolt Bus over Megabus?
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
Zegnat schmarty, will you be publishing a book on how-to-organise-IWC?
#
schmarty [artur]: Bolt Bus drops you off in downtown Baltimore, which is great. Megabus *does not*. Megabus drops off in a suburb called White Marsh which is another 35 minute drive away. so, not recommended unless you have a ride waiting on this end.
#
schmarty Zegnat: i don't think so. my outline for that book would be something like: "1. read the wiki to understand some past events. 2. try to duplicate them as best you can. 3. when you get stuck, contact aaronpk in -meta" ;}
#
aaronpk 😂

schmarty "3.1. Are you really stuck? aaronpk is a busy person. 3.2. Are you sure you are ready to bother him? 3.3. Okay, here's how to do it. 3.4. Everything is fixed now."
#
[artur] 😄
#
[artur] thanks schmarty didnt know that about megabus

chrisaldrich For those flying into BWI for camp, there's a train at the far end of the terminal that'll get you into Penn Station in the middle of Baltimore for about $2 versus a cab/uber which can take ~35 minutes and much larger cost.

#
chrisaldrich I also think it's got stops closer to the inner harbor (at Camden Yards) as well, since that's closer to camp.
#
GWG chrisaldrich: Sorry we'll miss you
#
gRegorLove Aye, MTA Light Rail: https://indieweb.org/2018/Baltimore#Public_Transit
#
chrisaldrich GWG: I'll be there via the interwebz thanks to all that gear that you and aaronpk are porting out. :)
#
GWG Not I. I offered but no takers
#
aaronpk I'm pretty excited about the gear I'm bringing. I'm hoping we can pull off remote demos that work well too
#
schmarty I am also excited about this broadcast setup, haha
#
Loqi ahahaha
