Filed a PR to remove recent spam from the logs: https://github.com/indieweb/indieweb-chat-archive/pull/11 - should we have people that review these PRs before merge?
#
Loqi
[Zegnat] #11 Remove spam from Jan 30 and Feb 3
#
Zegnat
I can merge it, but I don’t want to modify a repo like that without any oversight
#
Zegnat
Might even be worth configuring it in such a way that people are not allowed to merge PRs without review? Like we did on selfauth?
#
[jgmac1106]
for the logs, yes I would say important feature

yep, do you need me to do the PR for the 2019 page?
#
[eddie]
That’s okay, I’ll do it in the next day or so, so it’s ready before HWCs
#
jgmac1106
perfect aI will hold off on recruitment until Wed be good time to announce,
#
[eddie]
Yeah, definitely. We can start doing announcements on Tuesday so we start to get word about before HWCs and then HWCs on Wednesday can help push it out further
#
[jgmac1106]
happy to try and stay awake M or T to talk again, emphasis on try would have to check with gwg and chrisaldrich

jgmac1106 can you check this link and tell me what time zone/city is listed first at the top? https://timee.io/20190209T2200?d=120&ln=https:%2F%2Findieweb.org%2F2019%2FOnline&tl=IWC%202019%20Online%20Kickoff
#
[eddie]
I’m hoping it’s yours and that it’s dynamically built based on IP rather than having Frederick hardcoded
#
[jgmac1106]
well have to run and get food for the game
#
[eddie]
Thanks! And have fun 🙂
#
[jgmac1106]
I did my a pro Zoom account so if we want to test that out with Hangouts all up in the aire we can
#
[jgmac1106]
buy* not my
#
Zegnat
tries to figure out how to make that timee.io link work passed the uMatrix blocker
#
Zegnat
Oh. Apparently not allowing framed resources from accounts.google.com makes the page not show at all? Talk about nonsense dependencies
#
Zegnat
Wonder if that has anything to do with their “protected by reCAPTCHA” badge at the bottom. So without Google Heuristics scanning the visitor’s browser they block access completely or something?
#
Zegnat
[eddie], it did put my local time up top, so that is nice!
#
[eddie]
jgmac1106 we can test zoom. I also have Jitsi Meet set up for HWC Americas on Wednesday so we can test that
#
[eddie]
Zegnat: oh weird about google 😕 great to hear your local time was put up top!! 😁 sounds like that’ll work unless/until I find one that does the same thing without Google dependency.
#
[jgmac1106]
oooh forgot about jitsi
#
[jgmac1106]
would rather do that obviously, keep Zoom for backup if it fails
#
Zegnat
Note that there will be a virtual HWC on Wednesday. So if there is any conference solutions we would like to try, maybe setup a list somewhere?
#
[jgmac1106]
didnt realize we have a vHWC Wedensday...sweet
#
[eddie]
Just added it last night jgmqc1106
#
[eddie]
Zegnat sounds good. Jitsi Meet is the primary one right now, because I think Zoom has been tested in the past?
#
[eddie]
sknebel had planned to test Jitsi Meet two weeks ago with the EU virtual but it didn’t end up happening, so if we could test that this week that would be awesome!

↩️ Thank you for your #IndieWeb contribution. We can only have a people centric alternative to the corporate web with more people like you! #5ftf (https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/2dQ0Zs)

#
Zegnat
Neither Zoom nor Jitsi are documented on https://indieweb.org/Virtual_HWC
#
Zegnat
But we can definitely try out Jitsi!
#
[eddie]
Oh if Zoom isnt documented then that would be great to test as well!
#
[eddie]
I’ll add those to a to test list there
#
Zegnat
Jitsi being free is the big plus for us, versus Zoom, if I understand right? Lets start with that. I am making a note on /next-hwc so we do not forget
#
Zegnat
But clearly nobody wrote down experiences

What is Jitsi Meet?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Jitsi Meet" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Jitsi Meet is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[eddie]
Jitsi Meet is a free self-hostable video conferencing solution that is being investigated for virtual [[HWC]]s and [[IWC]]s.

[tantek]: I'm planning to, if there isn't a weather event. It is something of a hike.
#
GWG
If I take the fastest way, I have to drive from work to a commuter rail station, then take the commuter rail(because the less expensive bus/subway combo would take 40 minutes longer), then transfer to the subway. And, assuming I leave work at the earliest I can, I still won't be there till 5:45PM...which is at least during Quiet Writing Hour still.
#
GWG
It is why I can't do it every time.
#
GWG
But I want to come periodically, at least.

#
aaronpk
Zegnat: i merged and deployed the PR for the logs. since that repo isn't set up to auto-deploy, merging a commit from github will actually break its ability to push new chat logs up until that's pulled down
#
Zegnat
Ah, interesting, so not only should nobody merge to master there without oversight, nobody should merge to it ever?
#
aaronpk
until i can pull it back down to the server right after merging
#
Zegnat
Gotcha
#
aaronpk
i'm working on moving things to a new server where i have better github hooks set up to auto-deploy stuff like that though
#
GWG
How many servers do you have for Indieweb stuff?

i currently run 4 servers. one for my personal sites like aaronparecki.com, one for stuff like aperture/monocle, a server that only runs MySQL, and a new one that i'm moving all the indieweb community resources like the wiki onto

↩️ indieweb, I realize that there’s too much cruft and that I don’t want to abandon WordPress’ basics or experiment with my default install. Same with someone even less technical - “if I can post on Medium, why would I run my own web server? That’s cray!”
