What was coral cdn

It looks like we don't have a page for "coral cdn" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "coral cdn is ____", a sentence describing the term)

maybe that should have gone on the NYC page
#
aaronpk
we need a post-mortem section/page to complement the planning page
#
[tantek]
Something like that. Maybe “next-time” instead though? Have always disliked the post-mortem analogy as it’s an inaccurate fit and feels like a dead end process-wise (pun intended)
#
[tantek]
I guess metaphor
#
aaronpk
yeah I was just thinking about how weird of a term that is to use for events
#
aaronpk
"next time" doesn't quite capture it though. it's specifically to document things about the past event that worked or didn't work, not to turn those into suggestions.
#
aaronpk
turning those into suggestions for next time is the second-order task after documenting what worked and didn't work

“Learnings” is fashionable in certain circles, and an abomination

There is always the standard “After Action Review” from government/military circles. haha at least nothin is dead

post partum is a better metaphor

It excludes half the population.

or "post festum"
#
[kevinmarks]
"post symposium"
#
[kevinmarks]
I don't think latin has camp in our sense
#
jeremycherfas
Post festum is fun
#
jeremycherfas
I'll bet it does. Thinking back to all that Gallic Wars stuff. And places like Chester. In fact, isn't it castro? Castrum?
#
[kevinmarks]
that's more of a fortified encampment
#
jeremycherfas
And IWC is anything but fortified? People were turned away by gatekeepers.

#
aaronpk
hmm looks like I need to adapt Loqi's anti-spam again
#
aaronpk
in a few cases, the spammers are sending messages over a period of >30 seconds so a few are getting through after they get +v
#
Zegnat
tantek__: re getting scolded by Loqi in #indieweb: have you linked the username tantek__ to the username tantek? ChanServ should be giving you +v even before Loqi right when you join the channel if you are authenticated.
#
tantek__
linked the username where?
#
Zegnat
You can ask ChanServ to link a username to one you have registered, so you own both and both are treated as equal
#
Zegnat
I mean NickServ, not ChanServ
#
Zegnat
While using the name tantek__ do:
#
Zegnat
2. /msg NickServ GROUP
#
Zegnat
1. /msg NickServ IDENTIFY tantek yoursupersecretpassword
#
Zegnat
Then tantek__ gets equal rights as tantek without underscores
#
Zegnat
should probably add this to /IRC as well
#
tantek__
zegnat you misunderstand, the whole point of using __ is to not bother with identifying via the freenode web interface
#
Zegnat
Ah, well, in that case Loqi will continue to scold you, I guess, haha
#
tantek__
no I just have to remember to wait 30s

I like Reflection

reflection++
#
Loqi
reflection has 1 karma over the last year
#
aaronpk
yeah. I refuse to use the word "Learnings" lol. it sounds so ridiculous.
#
tantek__
I thought it but didn't suggest it 😂 and in particular it is ambiguous, because we learn all sorts of things at indiewebcamps :)
#
Zegnat
learned to empty caches before doing live demos

aaronpk
learned to actually finish updating his website software before demos instead of just half updating

what is 2018/NYC/Reflections?
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106]
[schmarty] its almost like we need a -meta page for each IWC instead of just planning page it would be something along the lines of before, during, after, like, planning, updates? changes needed lin situ (write an email to say sorry about security sending you away) reflections
#
tantek__
[jgmac1106]: there is enough *just* to get planning right that it needs its own page
#
aaronpk
that's a great idea
#
tantek__
and it is worth *separately* documenting reflections
#
aaronpk
we've had a page for the intro session a few times, so that could be expanded to not just the introductions but to also include the meta run-of-show stuff
#
@cswordpress
I'm working on switching my site to the #indieweb fork of the twentysixteen theme, and I found a really thorough post by @abrightclearweb on the design and how to customize it. https://www.abrightclearweb.com/the-wordpress-twenty-sixteen-theme-good-bad-or-ugly/

#
tantek__
[jgmac1106]: to be blunt, we also need enough attention-span to actually look for / use / update any such page (whether -meta, planning, or whatever). A new page won't solve that problem

does what is not work for "/" pages?

swentel: [eddie] left you a message 3 days, 1 hour ago: I'm thinking about proposing an IndieWeb session at a semi-local Drupal Camp. Have you done a talk at a Drupal Camp on the IndieWeb since you've been working on this stuff?
#
swentel
oh well :)

i should really make loqi understand that syntax too tho
#
tantek__
that would be hilarious
#
Loqi
it is probable
#
[jgmac1106]
on another note, I think encouraging the lower level IndieWeb meetup is going to be a good thing...had a few folks already suggest they would do one, but didn't want to try to set up and mantain a club
#
swentel
I'm to used to the drupal bot
#
tantek__
s/lower level/entry level
#
aaronpk
interesting the additional admin overhead association with the word "club"
#
tantek__
vs "meetup"?
#
[jgmac1106]
yes lower level probably not the best word choice, but Tiara and Leigh were both excited to start there, have someone who wants to do a meetup in Providence with jmac....before trying to launch a club
#
tantek__
club implies membership which there is not
#
[jgmac1106]
meetup=one off, just show up, club=on going, members, recruitement, budgets, etc
#
aaronpk
yeah, a "meetup" can happen just once, but with "club" there's impiled membership and regularity
#
aaronpk
another good reason to drop the word club then
#
tantek__
we did have some HWC "popups" in some cities
#
tantek__
perhaps the reference to "Homebrew Computer Club" has outlived its cleverness/usefulness and is worthy of being dropped
#
[jgmac1106]
...or just keep club in that second column, meetup, HWC, IWC
#
tantek__
yes that's a good transition

tantek__: loqi has been doing pretty well so far with those, because most of the time the messages come in the first 30 seconds still, and also the spammers are reusing phrases, so the second time a spammer uses it they'll be kicked instantly
#

interesting
#
aaronpk
the other pattern i am considering adding is someone sending repeated messages within the first 60 seconds of joining, maybe 3 or 4 will be considered spam

it's polite to not overwhelm a channel with messages right after joining anyway

i could also increase the 30-second window to 60 seconds but that feels too long
