aaronpk I think i'm all packed
#
aaronpk definitely going to shove some random things in my giant coat pockets to make my bag a little smaller
#
aaronpk and wearing my camera and headphones
#
gRegorLove Looks pretty easy to get around. Everything is in a straight line for me along 2, haha
#
Loqi rofl
#
GWG I am bringing milk this time
#
aaronpk my airbnb is like 5 blocks north of the venue lol
#
aaronpk and about 6 blocks from a lightrail station, nice
#
GWG aaronpk: gRegorLove and I are at the Brookshire Inn and Suites
#
GWG That is a 16 minute walk down Light Street.
#
GWG Or 6 minutes on something called the purple
#
aaronpk not bad
#
GWG The "Charm City Circulator", whatever that is
#
GWG gRegorLove: Did you look at pictures?
#
gRegorLove No. Of the hotel?
#
GWG https://t-ec.bstatic.com/images/hotel/max1024x768/106/106134659.jpg
#
gRegorLove Nice
#
GWG When I said suite, wasn't kidding
#
GWG Apparently, my dollar goes farther in Baltimore than it does in Portland or Austin
#
GWG This is a lesson...schmarty needs to invite me more often
#
gRegorLove Looks like 23 registered right now, not bad
#
GWG Did I forget to RSVP?
#
GWG Oops
#
aaronpk I hope they all show up!
#
GWG Fixed
#
gRegorLove Haha
#
aaronpk I should really have irc notifications here when people send webmention rsvps to the event page, hmm
#
GWG aaronpk: That would be nice.
#
gRegorLove Ooh, yeah
#
aaronpk I don't know why that never occurred to me lol
#
gRegorLove Does tito have any webhooks? Maybe those could get piped in too
#
aaronpk they do
#
Loqi I agree
#
aaronpk i've used them for something else too
#
GWG I'm going to be packing food, despite the fact the hotel gives breakfast

GWG schmarty: Me too
#
gRegorLove schmarty, Google showed me some news item based on my trip, something about how Baltimore is becoming the coolest city on the east coast.
[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday! (Unfortunately I won’t be able to make the Friday night festivities)
#
Loqi [eddie]: schmarty left you a message 2 weeks ago: please take a look at /2018/Baltimore/Introductions#Demos_Planning and add yourself when you get a chance!
#
aaronpk Oh man, an hour+ til the next flight. I hope I don't fall asleep in the terminal
#
gRegorLove ouch, late flights.
#
aaronpk Made it on to the plane! Now i can sleep

#
aaronpk Yep at Spoons
#
schmarty I like Spoons
#
schmarty Haha
#
Loqi awesome
#
aaronpk Probly gonna get coffee at 3 Beans after I eat
#
schmarty 3 Bean is also quite good! Pretty good hangout space, also.
#
aaronpk Perfect
#
schmarty (As long as it’s not too crowded)
#
aaronpk Still gotta finish the slides for tomorrow haha
#
schmarty They’re looking really nice! Presentation-in-the-wiki is a pretty nice feature.
#
schmarty If 3 Bean is too crowded, you can walk north on Light past the harbor to The Bun Shop. It’s a different vibe but they have espresso and tons of seating.
#
aaronpk 👍
#
aaronpk pretty crowded but I found a spot

#
[tantek] What is a consultant
#
Loqi A consultant is someone you can hire to help complete specific projects; there are a few consultants in the IndieWeb community that have experience helping people setup and maintain their own sites, and are available to help you do the same; details inside https://indieweb.org/consultant
#
aaronpk [artur]: dinner and comedy is on!
#
[tantek] Zegnat yes re logging into IndieWeb wiki policy
#
[tantek] Been that way for a very long time
#
[tantek] The idea is, if you don't have your own domain, you should be working on setting that up instead of futzing with editing the wiki
#
Zegnat Does that mean we should actively be looking to grow the list of blocked domains then? Or only when we see them getting used first?
#
[artur] aaronpk Thanks, awesome
#
[tantek] This also helps discourage the talkers who never do
#
[tantek] Zegnat actively? Sure if you have time on your hands
#
[tantek] Hence why we've only bothered reactively so far
#
[tantek] There's likely higher priority community things on /to-do but if you think it's important, feel free to add it there
#
[tantek] Note that anyone can use the irc/slack
#
[tantek] To get help getting setup etc
#
Zegnat I just wasn’t clear on the policy. Hence why I used descriptive terms on how the wiki functions, rather than active wording that would make it sound like a policy.
#
[tantek] And get more familiar with the community before contributing to the wiki
#
Zegnat Good to get clarification.
#
[tantek] If any of the above clarification helps, feel free to add it to the page
#
[tantek] Alright I think I've done most of the fix ups needed for the newsletter
#
[tantek] We get one more draft of this week to review right?
#
[tantek] Time zones are hard
