#tantek__looks like nothing links to "using" and there isn't a /generator page and the existing redir of the using page really is about the "generating application" which meta generator is about sooo ... moving ...
#loqi.meedited /using (+447) "tantek__ added "Brainstorming: If you posted about when you started using something (put it into regular use), and also when you stopped using something (perhaps related, was replaced by something you started using?) then you could automate building a..." (view diff)
#[eddie]!tell tantek, aaronpk Jean MacDonald had a great idea. Essentially having a “sponsor read” for the IndieWeb’s Open Collective in the half-way point of the My Url Is episodes.
#[eddie]It would provide a way for more people to know that’s available, and different episodes I could feature different aspects. One about help maintain public services,
#[eddie]one about providing support for planning the summit, one for the travel assistance fund, etc.
#aaronpkoh good idea, maybe for the this-week podcast too!
#[eddie]My only question is, is the travel assistance fund separate in any way or just part of the same open collective account?
#aaronpktho I suspect the audience of the this-week podcast already knows about it so maybe that's not as important
#Loqitantek__: [eddie] left you a message 2 hours, 9 minutes ago: Jean MacDonald had a great idea. Essentially having a “sponsor read” for the IndieWeb’s Open Collective in the half-way point of the My Url Is episodes.
#Loqi[eddie]: jeremycherfas left you a message 2 hours, 49 minutes ago: I enjoyed 01. If release were the day before you could do a read for HWC at the end. On the day is a bit short notice.
#jeremycherfasNo desire to mess with your #dadtimetable [eddie]
#[eddie]Haha, the funny thing is I had originally intended to release My Url Is on Tuesdays. Then this last week it seemed like it was gonna be a stretch so I posted it on a Wednesday
#[eddie]So then I had just decided to stick with Wednesdays. So it could definitely work to move it back to Tuesday’s

#GWGI think I am leaning towards trying to come to Berlin, I just have to figure out when to arrive/leave.
#ZegnatIt also depends what sort of sightseeing you want to do. I just walked around the city last I was there, hopping in and out of the tubes to get to places.
#ZegnatThere is a really simple public transit app with 0 German requirements if you go that route :)
#GWGZegnat, I like to take one of those half day bus rides where you see everything but go nowhere
#[Rose]If you want to see the Reichstag you could register now, just don't forget your passport
#ZegnatAah, hop-on-hop-off I think is one of those bus tours. I did one of those in Copenhagen. They’ll have audio tracks like a museum in multiple languages available.
#ZegnatThat could be problematic ... in my experience even though the drivers get in touch with a lot of tourists, their proficiency in foreign languages tends to be limited...
#ZegnatWhen I moved to the Netherlands, my busdriver from Germany to Amsterdam hardly spoke anything other than German. And he’d have been transporting tourists every day cross-border :/
#GWGI am sure my heckling would lose something in the translation
#ZegnatSo when I tried to relay information about a big traffic accident that would be blocking our route, I was listening to Dutch radio translating to English and having that translated by a German tourist on the bus.
#[Rose]And to correct my question for GWG: Whereabout are you _from_?
#ZegnatI would instantly know if the German translation was wrong though, as I understand it. I just didn’t trust myself to translate the stuff correctly, as I do not tend to use a lot of traficrelated German :P
#sknebelwe already try to cover potentially interesting events on /Events
#sknebelbut of course that has limits, especially when it comes to small events
#[Rose]I wonder if subsections under events or some kind of filter/tagging system might be useful. E.g. online, Europe, Northern USA, Southern USA, etc.
#sknebelwe've looked at various other things, but nothing felt right enough to be worth the extra maintenance. been meaning to expand Kaja's abilities too
#[Rose]That sounds good. I should look at calagator
#aaronpkcalagator has tag pages so you can easily browse events that way too

#[jgmac1106]we will do another NYC for sure, but @gwg is right we will make sure it won't be same time President is in lower Manhattan, reeked havoc on travel and security
#GWGjgmac1106 and I still have to plan a Tenement Museum run

#tantek__[jgmac1106]: the subways were fine during IWC NYC
#tantek__and AFAIK the security issues had nothing to with timing, but rather untrained staff
#[jgmac1106]I got a couple emails people saying they weren't coming due to the announced travel advisory...but yeah the security at Pace had to cost us a dozen or so people
#tantek__also makes me wonder if we should start charging a minimal amount to increase attendance
#[Rose]And it would contribute towards costs a little perhaps. Something like Eventbrite could even be used as marketing as well as for ticket sales.
