#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
#LoqiFree Code Camp PDX Hangout: Career Transition Edition!
#aaronpkbut in any case, personal outreach gets better results
#@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
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#[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?
#[jgmac1106],...nope or organizers to contact with @t and [aaronpk] can you reach out and ask them to add even organizers and hotels to the page
#[jgmac1106][tmiller] question, what page did you use to learn about organizing HWCs and how did you find it?
#[tmiller]Well I did a bit of searching for info [jgmac1106]
#[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.
#[jgmac1106]....crap if the wiki UI leads to people needing to email me we have work to do
#[jgmac1106]I will reply once I get kids off to school
#[jgmac1106]me think links to how-to guide should be in wiki sidebar
#[jgmac1106]and that is the point, design for the first time user, let the veterans have to poke around
#[jgmac1106]ill be back in a bit, unless I am driving the kids and heading to office, 10 am latest
#sknebelaaronpk mentioned he's at the nhow, but I don't know if that's based on any recommendation
#[tmiller]Okay cool thanks guys I'll look into them
#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
#GWGjgmac1106, how many people would show up in New Haven?
#[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]at least two, probably more, after the [aaronpk] talk the #compsci department wants to get involved in making IndieWeb tech
#[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.

#[dougbeal]I want to try and grab a locality domain, Indieweb.seattle.us maybe? Esp. if we are going to rebrand / rename Hwc
#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
#aaronpkbut i didn't expect the spam to last this long
#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.

#jgmac1106speaking of which I have a blue jean session recorded…where should I put the file?
#jgmac1106long [schmarty] and seeing how easy @aaronpk’s set up I wonder if we can have a mediakit that ships out to each camp ahead of event
#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.
#[schmarty]i was very pleased with the result of the iphone + jabra mic. we could probably do it with an ipod, too, to make it even cheaper.
#jgmac1106ok you can do what I do and bring 10k worth of equipment and have nove of it work
#Loqipost-production has -1 karma over the last year
#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
#jgmac1106I am also thinking, and believe some in Germany may want it, that a room with no recording or live streaming should be made available
#jgmac1106At risk of gross generalization I find German allies to be more privacy centered around photo and video
#[schmarty]chromebook adds the possibility of a machine to screenshare to capture demos, both local and remote.
#[schmarty]i guess ipad can do remote demos just fine.
#jgmac1106yeah, I should have recorded my desktop when we did the demos or used HoA
#aaronpkeven with the ipad we need a computer to start the hangouts-on-air-to-youtube link
#aaronpki haven't tested whether that computer needs to be active on the hangout the whole time
#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
#jgmac1106@aaronpk we have run remote conferences on HoA all day long, just need to set display to no sleep
#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
#jeremycherfasI cannot recommend it specifically, but I was impressed with it in Vienna.
#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
#[schmarty]i think as long as one of the organizers has a paid zoom account that should work well.
#aaronpki was even thinking about budgeting for that for an indieweb account
#[schmarty]we might also want to document some of the options
#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.
#[schmarty]like bare minimum: iphone+table mic straight to youtube live, with remote participation via chat
#jeremycherfasNow I want to go to Berlin as well as Nue.
#Loqizegnat has 28 karma in this channel over the last year (161 in all channels)
#[schmarty]aww i thought that was for Berlin for a moment. i don't feel bad about giving you karma.

#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.
#ZegnatAlthough with all you lot signing up for Berlin, who knows, I might go for it any way
#aaronpkor, put that towards your Summit travel next year :D
#ZegnatI can probably do the entire Berlin trip for just the single-way flight for PDX, hahaha
#sknebelalso severely less annoying border crossings in the way :D
#ZegnatOh I don’t know. Last time was coming from Berlin and I got stuck for approx 2 hours at the Swedish border ;)
#sknebelright, I keep forgetting that some forms of transport are worse than others
#@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)
