gRegorLove Nice. Donut's are much more readable than the Google ones above.
#
gRegorLove pronoun << http://www.pronounribbons.org
#
Loqi ok, I added "http://www.pronounribbons.org" to the "See Also" section of /pronoun https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=50307&oldid=43156

#
[ryan339] good donuts too… i had more donuts during the week of IWC than I’ve had all year… maybe that means I should generally eat more donuts?
#
aaronpk nah they won't be as good as portland donuts

tantek__ reminder: please help by adding your project(s) to https://kumu.io/DigLife/decentralized-tech
#
tantek__ It will be displayed and used as a source of discussion at the Decentralized Web Summit in a couple of weeks
#
aaronpk I'm struggling to figure out which of my projects to submit. I'm thinking IndieAuth and Aperture.
#
tantek__ aaronpk, I think the answer is "all", and keep the descriptions fairly short/timeless with a link to the indieweb wiki page for more info about the project (which you can keep updating after submitting)

#
[kevinmarks] Do we need to submit the underpinning ones first so we can say that we rely on them (as they want a graph)

#
aaronpk one of the questions in that map project survey is to list the countries where your project has "traction"
#
aaronpk and it feels very weird to use these geopolitical boundaries to describe a "project" like indieauth
#
aaronpk did I miss any? US, Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Sweden, UK, Iceland, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy
#
Loqi misses any too
#
sknebel is positively surprised we've been for now spared the current IRC spam wave
#
aaronpk for real
#
aaronpk i'm not sure loqi's spam detection would catch it either
#
sknebel no, we'd need a keyword filter for that I guess
#
aaronpk yeah :-/

#
tantek__ we don't have a policy of vegetarian meals at IWC events, however quite often aaronpk and I have chosen more vegeterian options, just out of our own custom/preference. Worth discussion as a community? E.g. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/20/business/wework-vegetarian.html
[pfefferle], [jgmac1106] and [manton] joined the channel
#
gRegorLove Interesting question, but I don't think it quite parallels a company vs IWC, as long as IWC is clear up-front "this is what's included," which I think we've been good at.
#
gRegorLove We're also not anti-carnivore. Wouldn't be an issue if someone chose to go out and bring back meat for lunch.
#
gRegorLove "...and it will not reimburse employees who want to order a hamburger during a lunch meeting" is definitely more coercive, which is interesting as a company decision.
#
tantek__ right, there's recognition of current practices, and then there's the question of should we make any policy decisions about defaults, and what IWC sponsors money is spent on
#
gRegorLove I think there was meat this year, wasn't there?
#
tantek__ at IWS?
#
gRegorLove Yeah, I thought there was chicken
#
tantek__ maybe? if there was I ignored it
#
tantek__ or do we allow sponsors to choose even? e.g. if WeWork decided to sponsor an IWC lunch but only vegetarian options, would we be ok with that?
#
gRegorLove Oh, good point. Hadn't thought about what sponsor money goes towards.
#
tantek__ (I would personally, but posing the question for folks)
#
gRegorLove I'd be ok with that
#
tantek__ for example, just out of default, the IWLS breakfast sponsored by Mozilla was vegetarian
#
tantek__ more because of my choice of venue than any policy decision
#
[jgmac1106] Free money ties to good causes? Win win
#
gRegorLove I'm not sure we need a default policy of vegetarian. I think allowing sponsors to choose is ok.
#
gRegorLove Mm, now I want one of those Kure bowls.

#
tantek what is on this day?
#
Loqi on this day is a feature on some silos and indieweb sites which show posts published on the current (typically Gregorian) day of the year in previous years; commons sites tend to show more general historical events that occurred on that same day https://indieweb.org/on_this_day
#
tantek what is this day in history
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "this day in history" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "this day in history is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
schmarty HWC Baltimore has begun our quiet writing hour
#
Loqi schmarty: tantek left you a message 4 days, 23 hours ago: in case it's not obvious in the latest newsletter https://indieweb.org/this-week/2018-07-20.html all the "notiz.blog" posts in "Posts about the IndieWeb" are years old - likely due to re-sent webmentions
#
tantek this day in history is /on_this_day
#
Loqi ok
#
schmarty haha, thanks, tantek! i missed your message but figured out the old posts. :}
#
tantek I tried :)
#
schmarty i appreciate it! i am usually good about keeping up with chat but the last few weeks have been pretty rough. i should make a habit of just dropping by rooms to say hello to look for !tells.
#
tantek yes it has been rought past few weeks! I've missed entire days of archives myself
#
sknebel maybe we should give the !tell webmentions a go again
#
tantek hey jgmac1106 do we have a venue confirmed for IWC NYC?
#
jgmac1106 not confirmed no announcement yet, I should here back from Pace and soon and NYPL is just double checking branch availability Manhattan, Bronx
#
