Seems like exactly the kind of soft-reminder people may need.
#

I like the email jkphl sent through Tito to everyone, asking them to get in touch even if they can’t make just one of the two days, because he needs to have final numbers for ordering lunch.

#
[Rose]
If only the subject hadn't been wrong 😛
#
[Rose]
But yes, the email was excellent.
#
[Rose]
If there's leftover food I'll do my part to try and eat it
#
Zegnat
Surely leftover food is just breakfast
#
[Rose]
That depends if breakfast is ordered too

Breakfast is the Aldi down the road.

Perfect

[Rose]
Though I always bring emergency breakfast food with me if I can - and I definitely object to paying €13 in my hotel 😛
#
jeremycherfas
I can't fly with my trusty picnic knife, so I rip things open like a savage.
#
[Rose]
Ahh, I travel with children's cutlery and scissors
#
[Rose]
And on occasion, a plastic plate, bowl, and glass.
#
jeremycherfas
Chldren's cutlery?
#
[Rose]
A knife fork and spoon from Ikea bade for children
#
jeremycherfas
And they're OK on planes? Well, live and learn.
#
[Rose]
No security official will believe I can hurt anyone with it, but it suffices for cutting cheese and can even manage apples providing they're not going soft.
#
[Rose]
Yup, blades must be less than 4cm usually in Europe.
#
jeremycherfas
I've got into the habit of buying a 1 euro plastic-handled knife when I get somewhere.
#
jeremycherfas
I know that, you know that, but too many jobsworth types don't, and I am not risking my lovely knife to that kind of nonsense.
#
[Rose]
Well, this was cheap.
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[Rose]
If they want to take it I can replace it easily, but no-one ever has.
#
[Rose]
(The spoon is the most useful anyway, makes buying and eating a yoghurt about 8000 times easier!)
#
Zegnat
My entire bag was once unpacked at Schiphol airport because I dared to have a a pair of dull-pointed children’s scissors (giraffe print) in my pen case. Those “blades” are allowed too, but still held me up at customs
#
calumryan
Last year at Gatwick they searched my bag because of the batteries in my Magic mouse
#
[Rose]
I have a pencil case which I pull out of my bag for security which contains my cutlery and scissors. After nearly missing a flight because of scissors once this seemed like a sensible approach.
#
Zegnat
Clever
#
[jgmac1106]
In US folks are encouraged to keep all the stuff that might raise flags in bag, like liquid bottles 1.5 oz, nail cutters, plasticware, etc
#
calumryan
Somehow hoping I’ll reach Nuremberg this Thursday if my route isn’t still blocked by a burnt out ICE train
#
[Rose]
Where are you coming from?
#
calumryan
England
#
[Rose]
That much I realised from the wiki, whereabouts?
#
[Rose]
I used to live between Bath and Bristol

Coming from Tonbridge in Kent
#
calumryan
Leaving super early to get a Eurostar to Brussels
#
[Rose]
Eurostar is good, I took it a lot when living and working in Germang/Luxembourg and going back to visit my parents
#
calumryan
It’s supposedly simpler than flying from where I am as Nuremberg doesn’t have many direct flights from London
#
[Rose]
There's 1 from Vienna, thankfully late Sunday evening
#
jgmac1106
is there still going to be a vHWC-Europe during Nuremberg or did we find out if we can get 1-2 remote sessions?

I can totally see why people don’t like editing that page. Even I needed a minute to figure out whether to use the template, where to put it in the list, etc. And if the list is longer, preview would be very annoying.
#
sknebel
calumryan: very unlikely that its open again by then
#
sknebel
So expect the delays
#
sknebel
Bahn.de should have at least a good estimate for replacement trains
#
sknebel
And if you have a ticket that's bound to a specific train on that route that restriction is automatically voided
#
calumryan
sknebel: yes it’s a Sparpreis
#
calumryan
still a bit unclear but seems like DB are diverting some trains along a slower route
#
sknebel
Yeah, they take the long way round
#
calumryan
I think the whole journey might be something around 12 hours or more if delayed further
#
sknebel
Yeah. I went to a festival in herefordshire a few weeks back, that was 14h or so

[tantek] a metric I am interested in tracking is attendance conversions at IWCs in cities that had existing events, and new events after IWC 1 month, 6 month, 12 month out....but that starts to feel like organization
#
[tantek]
I'm not sure we have enough datapoints to make that useful.
#
[tantek]
or maybe we do but just haven't figured out how to chart them so we see patterns from what data we have
#
[jgmac1106]
yeah spent time trying to look at events and then IWC events, but maybe it goes to our leaders reflection page after, we could build a template include number of tix sold/ attendees, possibly survey for attendees

just worry about overhead and organization creep

I wonder if there could be a way to grant Micropub *update* permissions on a particular (draft/scheduled) post to particular friends/family for a limited time period

To get help with fixing typos etc.

eventually of course turning Micropub into a full decentralized web replacement for Google Docs 😂

#

Zegnat: when do you get to Nürnberg btw? I forgot
#
aaronpk
I'll be checked in to the room by like 7pm tomorrow
#
Zegnat
7am on wednesday, if all goes will.
#
aaronpk
Ah awesome
#
Zegnat
How does that align with you waking up in the morning?
#
aaronpk
I'm gonna crash when I get to the room and try to get a full night's sleep
#
Zegnat
I guess I can just check your website and see if you have woken up when I actually get to the station, hehe
#
aaronpk
my goal is to be up by 7 or 8 like a normal day on Wednesday
#

Ah, awesome.

I think it is a 20 minute walk, or 10 minute tram ride, from the station to the airbnb. But I’ll send an IRC nudge when I get to the station.
#
jgmac1106_
hmmm do we want to keep a seperate page for /press or put articles by third parties in a different section than post?
#
aaronpk
jgmac1106_: the line between third parties and first parties is somewhat blurry so I'd say no not yet
#
jgmac1106_
I am thinking article in the press written by a journalist/blogger not in community. Like the NYT does an article on IndieWeb for example
#
jgmac1106_
but they can go chronological under post that still makes sense
#
aaronpk
One of the early articles was written by someone who attended an IndieWebCamp but wrote for wired. What side of the line does he fall on?
#
aaronpk
The thing you learn is that these press orgs are not entities themselves, they are collections of people, some of whom you can get to know
#
aaronpk
"The NY Times" doesn't write an article. Some person writes an article at the NY Times.
