<!here> who is going to IWC Berlin? It's in three weeks! Could you indie RSVP / grab a Tito ticket at https://2019.indieweb.org/berlin and please report back your experience? Did it work as expected? Did you show up on the page after you RSVPd (either indie RSVP and/or Tito ticket)? Thanks!

I guess a general post about how extensions to Webmention can be used to handle moderation could help?
#
[tantek]
jacky, start with Vouch
#
[tantek]
what is Vouch
#
Loqi
The Vouch protocol is an anti-spam extension to Webmention. Webmention with Vouch depends on understanding Webmention https://indieweb.org/Vouch
#
[tantek]
she's absolutely right about the need to build in good blocking/safety/privacy solutions
#
[tantek]
we have some documentation and research at /block /mute and...
#
[tantek]
what is report abuse?
#
Loqi
Report abuse (AKA report inappropriate) is a feature in many (most?) silos for notifying the silo owners that a specific user, post, or comment is abusive https://indieweb.org/report_abuse
#
GWG
[tantek]: As you may remember, Vouch has some challenges on the implementation side
#
jacky
Yeah the vouch generation bit
#
[tantek]
GWG, we need those challenges better documented with specific examples so we can iterate on solving them

#
aaronpk
ok just fixed Loqi's cron job for DST
#
aaronpk
the trick here is that mailchimp which sends out the email *is* DST aware
#
aaronpk
so i could have Loqi generate it at the same time UTC every week, and the email would essentially go out an hour late half the year

any chance of half-hourly regen during the last say six hours before it goes out?
#
[tantek]
if that's "just" a cron option for example
#
aaronpk
it's a pretty heavy-handed process to generate the newsletter, let me review to see what i would be hammering during that time

#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "single session" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "single session is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[eddie]
Darn, what was that called! Haha
#
aaronpk
ok it's not as bad as i thought, apparently it only takes about 10 seconds to generate the newsletter

That's the one weird thing about Tito that I don't like

#
[tantek]
well that's not good
#
[Rose]
Ok, you have to assign the ticket, that button ought to be called "provide additional details"

so we have at least two bugs with the tito setup then

No, if you assign the ticket it works

#
Zegnat
Sadly I didn’t know that tantek was having some offline time when I setup the page and requested another organiser to review. So some stuff like missing CoC checkboxes seems to have slipped through.
#
Zegnat
To recap a little from #indieweb-chat: the Berlin event was based on (I think) the Summit event. So all questions were copied over from there. This included the public-guest-list question. There did not seem to be any setup within the 2019.indieweb.org repo for setting up the inclusion of the tito signups at all.
#
Zegnat
Currently looking at adding CoC checkboxes, but unsure how to make single required checkboxes in Tito. So going to be a bit of a test.
#
Zegnat
Also caught up on the rest of the discussion. I do not believe we control any of the attendees info fields, so we can’t change first/last name fields into a single field.
#
Zegnat
But I’ll check. I think they may not both be manadatory? I signed up with my URL as my name for the last Berlin one. (And then jkphl manually changed it to my actual name for handing over the list to Moz, sadly :P)
[stefp], [kevinmarks], dougbeal|mb1 and [dougbeal] joined the channel
#
Zegnat
Alright, I think adding the checkboxes as separate required questions has made them required for assigning a ticket! Success!

Is there a pre-existing template on the wiki for setting up a camp, or have we just been cutting and pasting from the most recent one(s)?

copy and paste, slowly evolving, so not really possible to do a template
[stefp] joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, a MW template would get stale / be a pain to maintain
#
chrisaldrich
I'm thinking about the general template on the /etherpad page that might be something we could replicate and iterate on over time... perhaps better/more complete than cut & paste?
#
gRegorLove
But maybe a section like this somewhere could be an in-between: https://indieweb.org/Etherpad#Etherpad_Template
#
chrisaldrich
I don't mean a MW template... that would definitely be more difficult to maintain....
#
aaronpk
maintaining a template is going to be more work and more than likely get stale
#
aaronpk
it would require that organizers remember to update the template if they make any changes to an event page, which adds a whole extra level of post-event work that someone has to do
#
chrisaldrich
but it makes it a lot easier for future ones.. and generally there are only a handful of us doing that presently....
#
aaronpk
how is that different from copying the most recent event page and changing what you need?
#
chrisaldrich
some of those can have a lot commented in/out, excised, or customized for a particular location....
#
aaronpk
so would the template tho
#
chrisaldrich
mostly I'm thinking about the hill of work for doing something towards the end of the year and I'm trying to be as lazy as possible. ;)
#
chrisaldrich
I suppose there isn't a huge amount of change to the present "templates" presently in any case, so perhaps it's not as difficult as I'm making out in my head...
