[jgmac1106]I think the conclusion was that if lowering barriers to entry is the goal encouraging IndieWeb meet ups as a step before an HWC, or an IWC makes sense
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "IndieWeb Meetup" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "IndieWeb Meetup is ____", a sentence describing the term)
LoqiAngeloGladding: Zegnat left you a message 3 weeks, 5 days ago: See https://indieweb.org/discuss#Chat_Channels for what the channels are supposed to be about. If you think the IRC topic of this channel can be updated to better reflect it, chime in! :D
[jgmac1106][tmiller] if your goal is to get the HWC up before Germany to go to /organizers meeting, don't stress yourself or mess up last year of program. I think you will pull it off for sure, but I am sure you would be welcome to attend the /organizers meeting if you are actively organizing HWC
[tmiller]I didn't even know about the organizers meeting that's how new I am I'm still checking out the wiki and stuff. But it's more of me being so interested that I want to do it sooner than later
[jgmac1106]Hey had thought as I wanted to help [tmiller] plan her HWC, I wondered if I should give out the mailing list from tix, even if to another organizer,
[jgmac1106]we should have guidelines for HWC and all IWC organizers on how to handle email addresses collected as part of tix. Is it okay to share or add? I think we should have an opt-in policy
[jgmac1106][manton] You should actually catch up on the /organizers notes, going with a three column three audience view. Going to list micro.blog as the get started now option
[jgmac1106]not sure timeline, scoped it out in NYC, hoping for realease in Berlin, but that's tight and I don't knwo what kind of voddoo it takes to get CSS to work on a wiki page like that
[manton]I've reviewed a bunch of wiki pages and chat logs... Is there a specific wiki page for what came out of the organizers meeting? Want to make sure I've seen everything.
Zegnat[jgmac1106], unless specific consent was obtained to email people about future events, I would assume addresses given during ticket checkout are not to be shared.
ZegnatThis could also be a reason for us to encourage people to add themselves to the public guestbooks for events. That would atleast give other organisers a chance to check who were there and reach out personally.
[jgmac1106][manton] the metaphor @gwg came up with is the cell-phone thee plan sales page, tools like micro.blog will be featured in Plan A. Anything that is press a button and go
[manton]One of the interesting things to come out of our new Homebrew Website Club in Austin is that many people have found out about it from EFF Austin, who has helped promote it, so there are a lot of new people who have never heard of the IndieWeb before. I think the redesigned 3-section home page is a good way to point people in the right direction.
[jgmac1106]this is the week where my students take over class qand have to write this module, currently it s template, in GDocs I turn to HTML, haven't given them the file yet
[manton]Reviewing the organizer notes and current home page, is the intention to keep the top section of the current home page with the "Your content is yours", "You are better connected"...? I like those, but one thing I think could be promoted from Principles to the home page is mention of having custom domain names as the first step. That feels like it should be part of "Your content is yours" to me, to give people one very concrete step to take.
[manton]There are several principles that are important enough (to me) that they should be more clear on the home page. I know it's difficult to fit everything there, though.
[jgmac1106]I think after the homepage redesign, the principles need some cleaning up to reach wider audiences as well. Those three values, and the tagline show up the most in press
ZegnatIf you just want to put a note somewhere along the lines of “think about the attendees personal information”, I guess that could go on https://indieweb.org/IndieWebCamp#How_to_organize ? I am not sure what to do with that, as it depends a lot on how the specific event is being run and by who. And whether it may be part of a bigger event.
ZegnatE.g. if you get your tickets for the upcoming Nürnberg IWC from the Digital Festival website, I am guessing your data will be treated the same as those of any other #nuedigital event attendees.
[manton]To go along with the above wiki updates, we talked last night at Homebrew Website Club about holding IndieWebCamp Austin in early 2019. There's just not enough time to organize it before the end of the year in my opinion. I also reached out to Tara Vancil via email to see if any weekends in January or February work best for her.
[jgmac1106]I do have connections at UT-Austin , the university space worked out quite well in NYC, plus usually free if co-sponsored..really hope I can go
[manton]Thanks [jgmac1106]! As soon as we narrow it down to a few potential weekends, we can check out some venues. Appreciate the help. Last year we used Capital Factory which is a co-working place with a bunch of potential rooms (we only used 2). Downtown is ideal but on campus would be cool too. Parking is always a concern too for local folks.
[manton]My preference is probably to just keep what worked well last year and change what didn't work well, but I'd like to hear from other folks who were there as well.
[jgmac1106]ohh I am color by number being color blind. I tell people to pick two colors from a chart (with hex) and then pick other numbers in that pallete and hope people like it
[eddie]Yeah, I don't think there's technically a web term for it, but in print media it's called that because a "bleed" is when you put more than the background you need so that when the paper is cut you don't have any margin.
[eddie]I like them to create sections. Don't have any on my website because I haven't had much time to fully design it so I've just been adding things slowly.
[eddie]But IndieWeb homepage obviously needs sections so they work great for that. But you also want to balance how many "sections" you create or else you can overwhelm the eye
[eddie]the goal is to help create visual groupings upon initial inspection and when there are too many groupings it has the potential to become "cluttered"
ZegnatIt’ll depend on the stream setup that gets used. The venue in Nürnberg is not setup with a commercial platform (afaik) so will probably all go straight from aaronpk’s rig to YouTube. That means everything will be recorded and published.
[jgmac1106]@gwg I am trying to get any speaking gig, figure you must know soon, I would have to decide by Monday anyways...to work on the homefront as well

tantek__Also would like to re-evaluate the notion of pop-ups, and add that they should have met *recently* otherwise get bumped back down to Getting Started
