[jgmac1106]: that might enough reason to not use tito for future IWC
#
tantek__
I know adactio has used brownpapertickets successfully, perhaps we should look at that for future events
#
tantek__
what is ti.to
#
Loqi
ti.to is an event management site that was used for IndieWebCamp 2015 https://indieweb.org/ti.to
#
[jgmac1106]
I think it is fine, I just send them an email, and they know I am a real person, its just after hours now
#
tantek__
[jgmac1106]: even if they say yes, it's still an inconvenience, especially if you need to send a last minute announcement out to everyone
#
[jgmac1106]
basically people were setting up fake events and then using the service to spam
#
tantek__
uh, how could they spam anyone that didn't already have a ticket? or were they just signing people up for their fake events just to spam them?
#
[jgmac1106]
yes...I do have a mailshake account but it will come from my company email not my personal one
#
[jgmac1106]
not sure that is what I was trying to figure it out
#
tantek__
what is mailshake?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "mailshake" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "mailshake is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
tantek__
what is brown paper tickets
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "brown paper tickets" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "brown paper tickets is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[jgmac1106]
https://mailshake.com/ just a drip campaign...tried it for marketing and felt too dirty and spammy to clog up teachers email boxes with a drip campaign
#
[jgmac1106]
I think I will just go old school and bcc everyone and actually write an email

!tell [jgmac1106] just out of curiosity, have you reached out about reserving the private room and if so approximate range of cost?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[jgmac1106]
yes, it is reserved we have the third floor

rotty25 joined the channel
#
tantek__
wow that was a fast fix. didn't even notice the problem
#
aaronpk
for some reason i can't get your RSVP moved over though
#
aaronpk
since my event URLs are based on the date of the event, the event URL chanted
#
aaronpk
changed
#
aaronpk
i made a redirect from the old URL to the new one but i can't figure out how to move your RSVP internally in my site
#
tantek__
oh your post. the FB post looks good
#
tantek__
updating my RSVP
#
aaronpk
oh i know why
#
aaronpk
got it!
#
aaronpk
hopefully if you update it it should recognize it as a dupe
#
tantek__
hey where's the webmention form on your event post
#
aaronpk
refresh
#
tantek__
whoa it just showed up
#
aaronpk
apparently it only shows up if there is at least one reply 😂
#
aaronpk
don't know how i managed that
#
tantek__
that's, an interesting catch-22 for the first person
#
aaronpk
it appears to be unique to event posts
#
aaronpk
aha found the bug
#
tantek__
ooh new feature idea for event posts: expected weather during the event!
#
aaronpk
oh yeah i've always liked how facebook does that
#

wait is that where I saw that?

That looks like spam, bye!
#
GWG
tantek__: I just updated my post.
#
GWG
But I find RSVPs easy.
#
GWG
Although I do have a major change planned.
#
tantek__
GWG if they were easy you would've beat me to RSVPing to those indie events! ;)
#
GWG
tantek__: I was out of the country and didn't do it till I returned
#
aaronpk
not necessarily, discovery of the events is the other challenge
#
GWG
That is the challenge
#
tantek__
ok fine that's a good reason :)
#
GWG
I RSVPed to the wrong URL
#
GWG
Wrong as in, not the one that accepted replies
#
GWG
I haven't done that one yet
#
GWG
I did the other one
#
tantek__
aaronpk: presumably some discovery happens from events showing up in your reader?
#
GWG
I show up on both
#
GWG
Looking forward to seeing the gang
#
GWG
I am wondering what I might do for hack day
#
GWG
I've been feeling a bit stalled lately with major projects having bugs for others
#
tantek__
I'm wondering if there is anything I can actually *complete* on hack day
#
tantek__
GWG, yeah that's definitely a challenge
#
GWG
tantek__: The new Micropub is stalled with auth issues that may be IndieAuth issues.
#
GWG
New Post Kinds is stalled for some people. I need more testers, I think
#
tantek__
GWG, sounds like a bit of pair hacking with aaronpk might be in order to fix the Micropub auth issues
#
tantek__
I bet it will be useful to document what kinds of challenges IndieAuth implementations might run into, and document troubleshooting
#
GWG
tantek__: It's more a WordPress issue, I think. But aaronpk might be able to figure out.

I had some insights about software design this week that I need to blog about: There are at least 3 "tiers" of fundamentals that it makes sense to write down for a software project: 1. Design principles: These are widely held beliefs and don't change between apps/frameworks.

did you see the thread about possible post-camp karaoke on Saturday since the camp closes early? figured you might be into that
#
[schmarty]
ooh, i saw what i took to be idle chat about karaoke. i am definitely in and would happily sponsor an hour. :}
#
tantek__
[jgmac1106]: ^^^ we have an IWC after-party karaoke sponsor!!!!
#
[schmarty]
looking forward to reconnecting with you and other indieweb folks, for sure! also very excited for the lineup that jgmac1106 has lined up!
#
tantek__
yes I'm excited about the keynotes
#
tantek__
also figured [jgmac1106] likes to post/tweet everytime we get a new sponsor so :)

[schmarty]
[jgmac1106] *a karaoke sponsor with very little knowledge about the NYC karaoke ecosystem. i don't know how much help i'll be organizing it
#
tantek__
we can ask locals for suggestions at the pre-party
#
[schmarty]
[tantek]: haha, i am good with sponsoring on behalf of the podcast, but i am on the verge of an official hiatus for it, i think.
#
tantek__
sounds like it has been fairly labor-intensive
#
tantek__
even with the routine you have honed
#
[jgmac1106]
...too be clear [schmarty] I was trying to combine improv and Karaoke to make parody Karaoke
#

[schmarty]
[tantek]: the TWITIWAE process could always be improved but i am blocked on energy and focus. i actually have a finished script for the newsletter from weekend before last that i haven't been able to make myself sit down, record, and post.
#
tantek__
ah that's a different kind of challenge
#
tantek__
and the kind that taking a break sounds like a good idea
#
[jgmac1106]
silly person writing scripts, supposed to wing it and curse a lot and hope you remove them all post production
#
[schmarty]
we'll see what happens this weekend! i'm very excited to re-engage my indieweb brain.
#
tantek__
you've always done it as a passion project of sorts, so that's an important key component
#
tantek__
I'm assuming you've considered Patreoning it and decided not to?
#
tantek__
(yeah I just verbed Patreon, deal with it)
#
[schmarty]
[jgmac1106]: i could probably manage to produce a podcast like that, but i think of TWITIWAE as being more brief and info-rich. for me that means writing it ahead of time. :}
#
[jgmac1106]
and if writing ahead of time means we get your sexy announcer voice, then get to work
#
[schmarty]
[tantek]: i thought about that briefly, but funding isn't really an issue. it is a passion project, as you said. i think i am currently deadlocked on a handful of projects and life changes.

[dougbeal]: it varies quite a bit depending on how many and what type of wiki activity has been going on. i wrote up my general process here, and i think it's still pretty accurate: /User:Martymcgui.re/this-week-indieweb-podcast
#
[schmarty]
with full focus i managed to rush out a whole episode in something like 90 minutes after the 2017 Leaders Summit so it would be done before the pre-party :}
#
tantek__
clearly we'd need to give you time to do so. couldn't miss the sponsor at the afterparty
#
[schmarty]
these days i seem to pick away at the writing over long periods. i think i could use a new approach.
#
[jgmac1106]
we need someone to build a bot with text to voice that can do the new members part
#
[schmarty]
[tantek]: 😂
#
tantek__
a schmartybot would be amazing
#
[schmarty]
[jgmac1106]: that is one of the more challenging parts to write, actually! i often have to go hunting for bios. also, a bot would possibly be the one way to have *worse* pronunciation for names that i'm not familiar with. 😂
#
tantek__
this is our first FriSat IWC I think, which means it will be split across newsletters!
#
[schmarty]
happy to chat about all this more at IWC if it comes up! for now: i need to get packed and on a train to NYC!
#
[schmarty]

[jgmac1106]: one last check before i pack up: are you all set for remote setups for breakout rooms? i could bring my chromebook-based kit but obviously would rather lose the weight if we won't be using it.
#

I grabbed so much stuff that may not work, grabbed a tricaster mini, a bunch of mics, a couple video cameras, black magic camera, and some tripods
