tantek__*The* most important thing is to have a committed co-organizer that you can depend on to meet up with you, so at a minimum it is the two of you supporting and encouraging each other to improve your own IndieWeb sites/uses
aaronpkportland has http://calagator.org which is _the_ place to list tech related events, but I haven't heard of many cities that have something similar
@martijnvdven↩️ The idea of #indieweb is to help people reach their own online goals. Can you use Solid for it, then go for it! That’s how we “re-orient” the web around the individual again. Solid shares several #indieweb principles, so I’d consider its ideas to align: https://indieweb.org/principles (twitter.com/_/status/1047030354404630529)
[jgmac1106][tmiller] I want to improve the HWC and IWC toolkits, so happy to work with you on launching and being in New Haven I can shoot down to city sometimes...not co-organize...though both Jess Klein and Leigh said they would help
[jgmac1106][tantek] I didn't even like writing what I was wrote as it felt like strong criticism, trying to capture critiques in the open is hard, almost wich their was a secret indielogin where you had to use your emoji url from the webring to login to see some pages
[jgmac1106]so looking through the wiki I can see how [tmiller] could get confused, how can we make organizing your first HWC an easier page to surface and use?
[tmiller]I initially found the event page while trying to find info on whether a beginner with no experience could attend. I poked around there for a little before checking out the faq page.
sknebelyeah, the job situation is making planning for me difficult too. at least I know enough people with couches there to not need to pre-book a hotel, which helps
[jgmac1106][tmiller] I did not get it. the email is jgregmcverry@gmail.com (personal), mcverryj1@southernct.edu (work) and greg@reviewtalentfeedback.com (company)_....no worries he entered email wrong in ticketing service and missed a bunch
[jgmac1106]we do have a small travel fund, since you are planning to organize an HWC, which then makes you an IndieWeb organizer I think you should apply. Ping [aaronpk] when west coat wakes up
[jgmac1106][tmiller] looks like there is not a room sharing section on /Berlin either, if someone adds a ===Hotel==== section feel free to add a ==== room share ===== section
ZegnatNUE IWC is in the Nürnberg Digital Festival, so I am not sure all the organisers will actually be around the day before to do an organisers meetup. Aiming for one in Berlin makes sense, especially if more organisers are making it to that one.
ZegnatFor Berlin-visiting folks my dad just mentioned https://www.motel-one.com/ to me as a possible hotel option. Aparently their formula is to do the bare essentials well, and nothing else, to keep prices in a nice range. No personal experience but according to him they are great for work travel / events when you do not expect to spent the majority of your time at the hotel.
skippyi'm on /chat-names. is that just one element of not-spammer checking? (obviously a dedicated spammer could add themselves to chat-names, but that seems extreme for most)
ZegnatSuch a dedicated spammer will probably not be this bot wave. Might be someone personally targetting us in that case, but that should be handled separately (and hopefully never happens)
ZegnatLooks like cloaks are registration dependent. So if any of those registered user spam bots has a cloak, that metric is not going to help. Whether any of those have cloaks is unknown, of course
aaronpkif i had approached this spam protection from the beginning with the plan to build out what we've got right now, it would have been built a lot better
aaronpkhmm your first message did actually get through to slack and the logs, which indicates my "known user" matching is working for that part of the system, so i need to figure out why the part that kicks people didn't recognize that
aaronpk[schmarty]: let's coordinate on the remote participation hardware. i really want to put together a simple recipe for this, even if it costs $1000 for everything we need.
aaronpkfor the main room it was just an iphone and that jabra mic, which did wonders. i have a good monopod i normally use for the iphone too. that's under $200 total.
aaronpkbut i do think it's worth treating the main room intro/demo streaming separately from breakout room with 2-way participation since the needs are quite different
jgmac1106Marty I got issues about travel and security as well, few emails, I originally put on the wiki but deleted since email entails a sens of privacy
aaronpk[schmarty]: the other thing i was thinking was using something like zoom.us which gives a little more control over how multiple videos or screen shares are displayed and recorded. that can still work on a chromebook or ipad as well
aaronpkthe irritating part of google hangouts is it requires a google account to join, whereas most of the remote meeting software lets you join without making an account
jeremycherfasAs a remote participant, I would be delighted if there were a way to cut between showing the speaker and showing the presentation, during, not post.
aaronpki'm pretty sure i'm gonna bring my multicam rig to nurnberg and berlin since it fits in my backpack, and that'll let us capture the presenter's screen and switch between that and the camera on the broadcast
Zegnat[schmarty], if I do Berlin, that is going to be super short notice, as I may be starting a new job at around the same time :/ And the time & money investment of 2 trips within a month time is straining by itself.
@martijnvdvenFinally officially signed-up for the Nürnberg #IndieWebCamp during #nuedigital. Looking forward to see old friends, meet the people behind screen names, and make new friends! There are still some tickets left! (twitter.com/_/status/1047170710492393473)

@kickscondorWhy is anyone upset with Facebook or Twitter? The keepers of the Web are all of us—the individuals. We built it. And still can. Does no one feel a pang of remorse at abandoning their blogs and home pages? And of not showing the newbs where to safely migrate? (Indieweb, for one.) (twitter.com/_/status/1047208246870781952)
@schmartyLooking forward to another Homebrew Website Club Baltimore, tomorrow!
It’s an @indiewebcamp meetup! Come learn some ways to free your content and your social sharing from the social networking silos! (twitter.com/_/status/1047222938947260416)
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "other thisg that is as cool as hacking" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "other thisg that is as cool as hacking is ____", a sentence describing the term)
