#
tantek aaronpk since that's on a "regular" HWC Wednesday, mind if we move it to the usual URL?
#
aaronpk kinda
#
Loqi aaronpk: tantek left you a message 18 hours, 44 minutes ago: before we forget, can you note the various dates for Microsub concept / terminology/naming, clients/server implementations - if you have permalinks for each of these so much the better: https://indieweb.org/timeline#Microsub
#
tantek and just note in the description for Portland that it's combined with microblog?
#
aaronpk I want that header graphic and also want it to be super unambiguous where/when it is for pdx people I'm sending the link to
#
tantek ok we can also have both URLs
#
aaronpk the list of dates/locations on the normal hwc pages is getting a bit unwieldy
#
tantek and just link from the regular HWC page for 2018-04-18 to the HWC mb page for Portland
#
tantek really? the # of regular venues actually dropped in past 6-12 months so I'm a bit surprised by that
#
aaronpk maybe it's all the hierarchy? https://indieweb.org/events/2018-03-21-homebrew-website-club
#
aaronpk and blank sections

#
tantek ok that's odd, there shouldn't be blank sections, they should be commented out if there is nothing in that section
#
tantek and yes that's a problem
#
tantek aaronpk, any chance PDX will host a 4/04 meetup?
#
aaronpk hmm that is the evening before techfestnw...
#
Zegnat Actually, we’ve had a regular and PDX&mb HWC on the same day before. Last time there was a vHWC on the same day. They had separate pages.
#
tantek sounds like a great preparty/wake to have before techfestnw

#
tantek bonuspoints if you can dig up sites related to techfestnw sponsors/companies/speakers which have died in the past
#
aaronpk lol
#
tantek and craft custom "Our condolences for your loss." slides for each
#
tantek alright in all seriousness I am cleaning up the HWC 2018-03-21 page even after the fact to set it up for cloning to future dates
#
tantek including putting in Brighton default commented out (instead of missing)

#
tantek !tell ChrisAldrich how does it look for a monthly regular HWC LA / Pasadena meetup? If you picked something like "first Wednesday" might make it more predictable and get folks to start showing up regularly.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek what is Brighton
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Brighton" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Brighton is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
tantek !tell adactio What is Brighton? 🎪 It looks like we don't have a page for "Brighton" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
aaronpk lol

tantek !tell Zegnat,gRegorLove,schmarty I'm tweaking https://indieweb.org/events/2018-03-21-homebrew-website-club in preparation for cloning it for April and May HWC event pages. please take a look and see if you think of any obvious improvements: https://indieweb.org/events/2018-03-21-homebrew-website-club
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
Zegnat That page looks good to me already

#
aaronpk I don't think the "US East" and "US West" headers add anything
#
aaronpk especially since there is only one under each
#
sknebel that
#
aaronpk probably the same for west europe
#
tantek they used to
#
tantek perhaps only add the headers upon the addition of a 2nd one in that timezone?

#
aaronpk i just don't think anyone looking for their city will be helped by seeing an extra level of hierarchy especially one that isn't already part of the address, like country or state
#
tantek ok
#
tantek drat I missed adding the off-week HWC Bmore to the Mozilla weekly project meeting - just noticed it got postponed from last week
#
tantek !tell schmarty consider creating an account on https://wiki.mozilla.org/ if you don't have one already - would be a great help to add any one-off or exception HWC Bmore events to WeeklyUpdates e.g. I added it last week https://wiki.mozilla.org/WeeklyUpdates/2018-03-19#Tuesday.2C_20_March but missed this week
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
tantek aaronpk, sknebel review ^^^ ?
#
aaronpk that is better
#
tantek we're not even close to gen4 yet (as a community, website, default chat level on #indieweb) so let's not even pretend to be (not saying anyone is)
#
sknebel yep, thats nicer
#
tantek what helps is posts like manton's about working on reaching gen4 - that's good stuff
#
tantek aaronpk, sknebel thanks. that's totally the kind of thing that as someone viewing/editnig those page all the time, I miss seeing
#
Loqi misses seeing too
#
sknebel I remember thinking it was useful in general, but that was on fuller pages
#
aaronpk it makes sense to my programmer brain, especially when there are actually 8 cities listed

#
Loqi Thanks! We need one more person to confirm the retweet!

#
schmarty Tantek: thanks for the event syndication to the Moz wiki! I will take a look and add it to my usual rounds for posting HWC Baltimore
#
tantek schmarty appreciated! for the "regular" HWC weeks I'm pretty good about getting it on there, but I know I tend to miss the "off" weeks, especially if it's a last minute / one-off change
#
tantek it'll definitely help to have more than one person (bottleneck) doing the update
#
tantek and it's easy enough to copy/paste from previous weeks
#
schmarty 👍
