[schmarty]1 !tell jgmac1106,tmiller,gwg,tantek just heard back from Glitch! they are not up for hosting an IWC this time around. they're hiring a new person that maybe able to help with hosting HWCs, though! so, looks like Pace is the place.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
jgmac1106 okay, figured as much. The office is not set up at all for large community events, most peoples desk are right there in the middle with all their stuff just left out, beautiful terrace though
#
[schmarty]1 my fingers are crossed for Sat/Sun at Pace 😄
#
jgmac1106 Pace is just looking at the logistics of our dates and the two buildings, they will also inquire about the cost of hiring security for Sunday…but don’t know if that is even an option
#
jgmac1106 Melanie is hoping to get back to me before end of day
#
jgmac1106 Sat/Sun is def preference figers crossed as well

jgmac1106 schmarty pace just back to me. They are available on Sundays and can give us two rooms one with a 16pp capacity and one with a 24..so I think we will be fine for demos
#
jgmac1106 going to look at +1 and do a save the date
#
jgmac1106 it is exactly 4+4, gwg you have a +0 on the 5th and I know tantek has to travel back from Japan and woudl arrive 21st..makes 21-22 tough….won’t do save the date give folks weekend to choose, may put it out there we are narrowing down the choices

[tantek] [prtksxna] I've added Goa to HWC 2019-08-21 per the advance notice in your blog post, leaving the venue name as TBA: https://indieweb.org/events/2019-08-21-homebrew-website-club#Goa
#
Loqi [tantek]: [schmarty]1 left you a message 49 minutes ago: just heard back from Glitch! they are not up for hosting an IWC this time around. they're hiring a new person that maybe able to help with hosting HWCs, though! so, looks like Pace is the place.
#
[tantek] That's too bad about Glitch — with as much promotion that [jgmac1106] gives them, I was more optimistic!
#
jgmac1106 i just think its logistics…the office just isn’t set up for a group..schmarty see if you can hit them up for a $300 donation…that is .0001% of their last Series A raise
#
[tantek] wait how do they make money?
#
jgmac1106 by asking VCs for it
#
[tantek] uh
#
jgmac1106 technically one VC, huge raise for only one firm
#
jgmac1106 they have plans to monetize teams
#
jgmac1106 but no monentization yet
#
jgmac1106 first they sold Trello…bootstrapped for 20 years spiinning up software and then selling it
#
[schmarty]1 jgmac1106: was there a reason you did not copy over the previous +1/0/-1 for the final NYC dates?
#
jgmac1106 oversight, I should have
#
jgmac1106 and just said if they changes
#
[schmarty]1 i'll do it now
#
jgmac1106 changed*
#
jgmac1106 thx
#
jgmac1106 …and i won’t make you do any fundraising, know its not your thing

[tantek] oops photo dupe
#
[tantek] did no one notice that?!?
#
tantek.com edited /events/2019-08-01-homebrew-website-club (-152) "rm dupe photo from last week" (view diff)
#
aaronpk ?
#
aaronpk oh was that last week?
#
aaronpk ooops that was my fault
#
aaronpk i saw there were no photos in the newsletter this morning, saw brighton in the list, went to adactio.com and found the first HWC photo on his home page
#
aaronpk didn't even notice the date was wrong
#
aaronpk oh probably because he doesn't put the date on his posts ;-)
#
[tantek] yes he does!
#
aaronpk not in the list view
#
aaronpk they are grouped under a header of the day, but this is several posts down on that day, under some longer articles
#
[tantek] he puts the date *once* per day
#
[tantek] which is a definitely a pattern I've seen elsewhere
#
aaronpk yep, and by the time i scrolled through the posts i lost the context of that header because there was so much content
#
[tantek] I think I used to do it on my old blog in some of the designs
#
[tantek] but you didn't see the dates keep scrolling by in big bold text ?
#
[tantek] also it's right there at the top of the permalink
#
[tantek] https://adactio.com/notes/15558
#
aaronpk i didn't click the permalink
#
Loqi [Jeremy Keith] We’ve got the soundtrack from the Apollo 11 documentary on in the background at Homebrew Website Club Brighton. Blogging has never felt more dramatic! https://adactio.com/images/uploaded/15558/large.jpg
#
aaronpk because the photo was visible on the home page
#
aaronpk and no i didn't see the date headers because they aren't distinct enough from the rest of the formatting when mixed in with blog posts
#
aaronpk for example, the code blocks are almost the same font size as the date headers
#
[tantek] weird we must just be seeing different things - the bold date headers really pop for me while I'm scrolling
#
aaronpk they do for me until i hit an article
#
aaronpk then i lose the visual hierarchy

[tantek] [aaronpk] any chance you making it to IWC NYC, either date? https://indieweb.org/Planning#NYC (or if you know for sure you can't)
#
[tantek] [schmarty] were you able to ask individual Glitch folks if they'd be interested in participating in IWC NYC and if so which dates would work (better) for them personally? Maybe having them participate may help them make a case for more participation from Glitch
