#Loqi[Tantek Çelik] #indiewebcamp AMS @ton_zylstra: To me, the web was always about agency and providing ways for individuals connect to each other in ways they couldn’t before.

#[Rose]Do we know what the recording setup is for Brighton yet? I can bring the kit I brought to Amsterdam
[jeremycherfas], [grantcodes] and [Lewis_Cowles] joined the channel
#[Rose]* This includes: Two tripods, external webcam for the demo laptop, two conference mics, 1 iPhone and 1 iPad to host Zoom meetings, external wide angle lenses for both devices.
#[Rose](And of course, cables and plugs for the above so that it actually works)
#GWGDid anyone ever comment on how the NYC equipment worked out? I would like to iterate?
#LoqiGWG: [schmarty] left you a message 18 hours, 51 minutes ago: finished up my pass on the post-IWCNYC email draft at https://etherpad.indieweb.org/postnycemail please give your thoughts by, say, 4PM Eastern today (2019-10-10)
#[jgmac1106]Haven't had chance ywt GWG. I know want to have one camera just on the speaker as well as their screen
#GWGWell, we'll have to discuss how that can work.
#GWGI think the Utrecht model of using a computer presenting in the meeting works.

#aaronpk[Rose]: that'd be fantastic if you could bring that! That'll save me from carrying mine across the ocean
#Loqiaaronpk: [tantek] left you a message 3 hours, 56 minutes ago: did we get video of [tonz]'s intro talk at IWC AMS? Just stubbed https://indieweb.org/2019/Amsterdam/Introduction (feel free to add photos/posts too). Also try /nick aaropnk and say hi to clear out that previous tell 🤦♂️😂
#aaronpkyes I need to post the AMS videos still. Miiiiight be able to do that today
#[Rose]Aaron consider it done then, but it is only the equipment for two rooms. I can bring an extra iPad but have nothing else for a 3rd room
[schmarty] joined the channel
#aaronpkAre we going to have 3 rooms? I can bring stuff for the third if that's the case
#[Rose]I have no idea what the setup is in Brighton
#[grantcodes]Also because it would reduce intro time about 50%
#[Rose]Demos are where it's tricky, especially for those of us who would do local development and not be ready/able to deploy it yet
#[grantcodes]But of course not everything people build ends up being public etc
#[grantcodes]Maybe a compromise is to explicitly say we'd prefer if you presented on the communal device, and if you need to use your own you can go afterwards to prevent so much switching
#[Rose]And also "please have the Zoom meeting open, your mic muted, and be ready to share your screen via zoom too"
#[Rose]Not an absolute requirement, some people prefer to demo offline, but they usually go absolutely last anyway
#aaronpkWe usually do recommend using the shared computer but it's just not possible for some demos
#[Rose](Of course, if Aaron has his Slingbox that might do the trick!)
#aaronpkintros we can require using the same computer tho
#aaronpkYeah I'm considering bringing the SlingStudio. Tho lately I've found that some newer laptops don't play nice with it and I need to add a scaler between the laptop and the SlingStudio, which is what I did at the last donut.js
#aaronpkbut that ends up being two boxes and power bricks to bring, which isn't a ton, but it's not nothing
#[Rose]I had an issue with one at MacStock this year, it wouldn't support USB C iPad Pros
#aaronpkYeah whatever Apple is doing with their HDMI it's not good
#[Rose]I didn't have an issue with it connected directly to the projector though, or anything else HDMI that I've tried.
#aaronpkHDMI is unfortunately a pretty complex protocol
#sknebelGuess I should somewhat announce this: won't be running vHWC for a while, so if someone wants to step up feel free. If you don't have them yet, we can give you the credentials for Zoom

#[tantek]I’m kinda done doing demos in Chrome (too many subtle things are broken) and on laptops that pop up that stupid thesaurus / dictionary thing when you click the wrong place on the trackpad
#[tantek]If we’re going to use a shared laptop it should have that crap click UI turned off and also be running Firefox so we can use that instead of Chrome if we opt for it. Preferably Nightly for the best CSS support
#LoqiJust generated this week's newsletter! You still have a few minutes to make changes, and I'll re-generate it 10 minutes before it gets sent out at 3pm Pacific time. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2019-10-11.html
#[tantek]So many tweets about that WCROC event but no photos after?
#[Jon_Letts]Heya! Just joined from SF and wanted to get more involved in the community out here. I’m an organizer for humanitarianhackers.co and would love to support the movement.
#[Jon_Letts]Is there anyone out here you’d suggest I get in touch with?
#gRegorLovedjmoch, do you have one other person interested? That's all it takes to get started really. I've organized many that were just a couple of us at a coffee shop.
