let's see how it goes.ask me if it was a good idea on Sunday...does mean my keynote might be everyone playing <tag></tag> revolution
#
[jgmac1106]
co-worker asked if she could bring her girls and work in their coding badges. Since in person numbers are low, figured why not...but that's the beauty of it all to me, one piece of paper, an hour, a bit of dancing, and I can teach you to build a webpage
#
GWG
[jgmac1106]: You are going to dance?

[tantek] joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
Aha. Testing so far seems like #redirect doesn't work as part of <onlyinclude>. Gets treated as regular MW syntax, a numbered list item
#
gRegorLove
Or basically any markup before the #redirect does that
#
gRegorLove
Hmm, trying something else...
#
gRegorLove
I think I've got it.
#
gRegorLove
It's hacky, heh. <onlyinclude><includeonly> block on each event page with the text you want to appear in the sidebar...
#
gRegorLove
/next-hwc still has #redirect as the first then, then an <onlyinclude><includeonly> block with a wiki link to the event page...
#
gRegorLove
Then {{next-hwc]] should follow the chain of <onlyinclude>s to show the text/link from the event page.
#
gRegorLove
Autolinking that text on the event page using {{FULLPAGENAME}} and {{hwcdate}} doesn't work currently, I think because {{hwcdate}} is processed in context of the page it's included on
#
gRegorLove
instead of on the /events/YYYY-MM-DD... page's context.
#
gRegorLove
So, looks like a wiki link on the event page and two wiki links on /next-hwc would do it. A bit of an improvement?

Should we establish a minimum expected/actual attendance/participation for an IWC?

thinking an IWC should be required to have at least 3-5 to be considered something "real" that actually "happened" beyond just a private gathering.
#
[tantek]
thoughts?
#
gRegorLove
I think that sounds reasonable
#
[tantek]
I'm leaning towards 5. Pretty sure we've easily met/exceeded that for both days of all IndieWebCamps so far

[tantek]
even in the NYC blizzard of 2016

And it's improv so I get to choose topic and medium
#
[tantek]
grid wrangling is definitely a skill!
#
[jgmac1106]
Tantek were BarCamps as big as EdCamps have gotten? Watching hundreds of people do this and negotiate is amazing
#
[tantek]
[jgmac1106] they were. Are EdCamps (or EduCamps?) still a thing?
#
[tantek]
like do they actually leave behind a web footprint?
#
[jgmac1106]
Its fucking huge
#
[tantek]
can you link to their event pages, their sessions, etc.
#
[tantek]
or is it all just informal in-person stuff?
#
[tantek]
is there any evidence of them happening on the web?
#
[jgmac1106]
They got a multimillion dollar foundation
#
[jgmac1106]
Hundreds of events we'll over 10k teachers a year
#
aaronpk
Who is Ed and why does he have a camp?
#
[tantek]
[jgmac1106] this is my point, this page needs a lot of work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdCamp
#
[jgmac1106]
One founder who went to the BarCamp in Philly where they got the idea talked with me for awhile on Twitter about bringing EdCamp and IndieWeb together
#
[jgmac1106]
Will do... Try to see if I can get someone in EdCamp to join and do it first...
#
[jgmac1106]
But when you have 100+ people agreeing to 4*5 grid it is cool to watch
#
[tantek]
Has that process of how that works been documented anywhere?
#
aaronpk
IIW has 100+ people now and ends up with a 4x5 grid too
#
[jgmac1106]
Yeah that was great to say as well. Same goals opposite ends of technical scales
#
[tantek]
We could definitely take some tips from that!
#
[tantek]
[jgmac1106] yes to figuring out joint IndieWebCamp / EdCamp - would love to see it
#
aaronpk
Oh yeah that's a great page we should do that
#
[jgmac1106]
Yeah that is what I meant by adding a how to kit... But time...
#
[jgmac1106]
Think we have all the pieces across some wiki pages. I think it should travel with the 2019 2020 site
#
[jgmac1106]
So if a new city forks the repo they get the how-to kit pages.... And any attendees could get inspired
#
[jgmac1106]

People like that more than wiki I think all anecdotal
#
[tantek]
"forks the repo" is a bad model for that because that's a way to make sure things are unmaintained/get out of date by default
#
[jgmac1106]
You should do the BarCamp family tree as your Beyond Tellerand talk
#
[jgmac1106]
Meant a page they don't change.
#
[jgmac1106]
... But I do hate having two schedules to maibtain
#
[tantek]
If you don't change something they you don't need to fork it
#
[tantek]
*then you don't
#
[jgmac1106]
One in wiki markup and one in html
#
[jgmac1106]
Well you fork it for a new city. Change some files but we make it not toolkit but yeah maybe just keeping that on wiki is easier
#
[jgmac1106]
If the wiki can take html can we just use the html page so we can copy and paste schedule changes?
#
[jgmac1106]
schedule on the wiki as an h-event and the feed displayed non the 2019 page that would be dreamy
#
aaronpk
Yeah nobody forks the event repo because it's for the year not per event
#
aaronpk
(forking it is only to send PRs I mean, which is different than forking to create their own actual copy of it)
#
[jgmac1106]
[tantek] convo with IndieWeb founder: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/02/02/mritzius-interesting-historical-fact-for-satchat-edcamp you should reply to one say, ""Sup I'm @t cofounded #IndiWeb and BarCamp I would love to plan a joint event with you"
#
Loqi
[Greg McVerry] @mritzius Interesting historical fact for #satchat, #edcamp is based off of #barcamp which was started by one of the people who also launched @indiewebcamp. we need to bring #edcamp and #indieweb together
#
[jgmac1106]
okay sorry meant file PR
#
[jgmac1106]
either way maintaining both hard. I might just comment it out for New Haven and out a link back to #Schedule on the wiki page
#
[jgmac1106]
"You’re editing a file in a project you don’t have write access to. Submitting a change to this file will write it to a new branch in your fork jgmac1106/2019.indieweb.org, so you can send a pull request." that is the sentence that confused with a pull request and a fork.
#
aaronpk
I mean they're the same in GitHub
#
aaronpk
but "fork it for a new city" connotes "using this as a base example to create your own" to me. Probly just being pedantic. Ignore me.
