The #indieweb module for #drupal now contains a Microsub server. Channels and timeline actions are implemented, so readers work already fine! More info about Microsub at https://indieweb.org/Microsub

In other news, spread the word, new last minute session I worked with the MozFest wranglers to create at MozFest on "Decentralized Web Standards: From ActivityPub to Webmention" in room 604
#
[tantek]
hmm should I post a last minute Indie Event for this session?
#

Nice! At least add to the wiki

aaronpk is that the second implementation? that's huge if that's true
#
[tantek]
time for a test suite?
#
sknebel
its the third or fourth, depending on what you count I think
#
sebsel
oh, I should hurry if I want to make the top 5 then :o

sknebel if it's the 3rd or 4th, you should be able to point to the list of implementations on /Microsub#Implementations
#
[tantek]
and "is building" is not the same as built and usable
#
[tantek]
we should distinguish those

ready to use and live

vs in progress

it is probable

Bookmarks as a form of qualitative coding? I am going through and searching #IndieWeb logs as part of my research into affinity spaces. Makes me think my blog could be the tool I use to organuize data for qualitative research, Wish Known had fragmentions… http://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2018/10/28/bookmarks-as-a-form-of-qualitative-coding

[jgmac1106] is syndicating bookmarks I guess?
#
[jgmac1106]
oops....sorry I forgot
#
[jgmac1106]
Doing research
#
[jgmac1106]
Loqi needs a self imposed mute button.....but then again I keep using the syndication links in meta...maybe it will be useful to someone in five years.
#
aaronpk
I was wondering what that was
#
[jgmac1106]
experimenting if I can own my qualitative coding from my domain.
#
sknebel
how to share bookmarks is an interesting question – e.g. I've decided to generally try to not feature bookmarks without commentary, even if it's just a small note providing context
#
[jgmac1106]
yeah wondering [sknebel] but if I did use twitter interactions as an indicator to audience usefulness my bookmarks often get the highest impagts
#
[jgmac1106]
but the open ed group is a long time (if nto only one left) social bookmarking sharing community

#

got it!
#
[tantek]
sknebel your bookmark questions is somewhere between #indieweb and #dev. I'll try #indieweb and if it gets technical we can take it to #dev
#
[tantek]
aaronpk I covered a dozen or more spec summaries in ~10 minutes.
#
aaronpk
was it recorded?
#
[tantek]
really wish I'd somehow recorded the session
#
[tantek]
not AFAIK
#
aaronpk
I would have loved to see that
#
[tantek]
I need to figure out a portable self-session recording kit
#
aaronpk
yeah that's a tough problem
#
[tantek]
that doesn't depend on me using my laptop
#
[tantek]
I mean, do I need to break out my camcorder from the 90s wtf?
#
aaronpk
I have a lot of thoughts and experience on that
#
aaronpk
yes, or a gopro, but you also need a good microphone
#
[jgmac1106]
I still keep my flip camera for this reason..wow those things were great
#
[tantek]
lol yes
#
[jgmac1106]
one button, one purpose device
#
[tantek]
need a tripod too
#
aaronpk
actually your ipod and a tripod plus a wireless mic could do a good job
#
[tantek]
I guess hypothetically another iPod touch + tripod could be enough
#
[jgmac1106]
there are mozfest sessions where I was liveblogging with one hand and trying periscope with the other
#
[jgmac1106]
and duct tape, always duct tape
#
[tantek]
it has to be setup and let it go
#
[tantek]
aaronpk we should figure out a "kit" for this
#
[tantek]
cheap - with the cheapest ipod touch
#
[jgmac1106]
multidirectional mics are key as well
#
[jgmac1106]
it would say its ipod, tripod, mic
#
[tantek]
multidirectional bluetooth mic paired to the iPod touch
#
aaronpk
I have a good little wireless mic that I brought to nürnberg
#
aaronpk
the jabra one at NY is good too if you need to pick up more than one person
#
[tantek]
so that's the kit. ipod touch, multidirectional bluetooth mic, mini tripod

be nice if we had a kit for the Americas and one for Europe that could be shipped out to events ahead of time
#

we can definitely make that happen

speaking of recording, i'm planning on bringing my Nürnberg video kit to Berlin again so that we don't have to rely on getting video out of the mozilla system

the alternative is an external mic that plugs in like the little one I had in Nürnberg. then it can record using the normal camera app

so do I turn this thing into a bridgy-like thing? or do I hook it into the wikis webmention.io? (that might be a bit too surprising?)
#
aaronpk
what's that now?
#
sknebel
last 2 edits above :D
#
aaronpk
no I think hooking into the webmention endpoint makes sense
#
aaronpk
if someone posts an RSVP and sends a webmention to the wiki it should just work
[Rose] joined the channel
#
sknebel
okay, so I need to set up a webhook target and you can set me up a hook in webmention.io?
#
sknebel
could also crawl future HWC pages' WMs through the API, but if we have hooks...
#
aaronpk
yeah I can set up a hook

sknebel
k, will ping you once I got the other bits ready

You folks should build a news stack or template for an #IndieWeb news site. I hate that all the local WordPress themes rely on the facebook comment plugins. Webmentions would be even better. Heck maybe they could do local subdomains for revenue (http://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1zaHAm)

That’s pretty awesome sknebel
#
sknebel
It's fairly dependent on the wiki pages being "just right", but they generally are
#
sknebel
since the tricky bit of all this is "here's a blob of wiki markup. make your changes, don't destroy anything, and give it back"
#
aaronpk
is it even looking at the fragment to know which section to post the RSVP in?
#
sknebel
that's the easiest way I could come up with to find the right one
#
aaronpk
nice yeah
#
sknebel
what tripped me up at first are the commented-out other sections
#
sknebel
but some sprinkling of regex should have that fixed...

Re the recording oneself and microphones: I think it may also take some practice on the person being recorded (e.g. yourself). I remember sebsel holding the bluetooth mic in Nürnberg and very cleverly repeating a question that was asked. Haven’t checked the online recording yet, but I imagine that really helps lessen the dependency on multidirectional mics. But personally I wouldn’t think to repeat the question like that before
#
Zegnat
answering ... needs training
#
aaronpk
it takes a long time to train people to repeat the question :)
#
aaronpk
even people who do a lot of public speaking
#
sebsel
I guess I just watch too many conference talks on youtube. it was a reflex for me. I didn't actually hold any mic :P
