[Yulia] @GWG zoom is set up, its built into the rooms
#
[Yulia] [Rose] yes, we have cameras + projection
#
[tantek] Loqi, messages
#
Loqi [tantek]: [Rose] left you a message 1 day, 3 hours ago: Will Zoom be available at Mozilla in Berlin with the built in equipment?
#
GWG [Yulia]: Can you initiate a Zoom meeting from the room or can you only dial into an existing one like last time
#
[Rose] GWG we can always start the meeting on our devices and have the room dial in
#
GWG Agreed, but that was the question
#
[tantek] I think when we were trying to do the weird dial-in thing in Portland at Summit it didn't work
#
[Rose] I will bring equipment so we can use it without the rooms
#
[tantek] so if that's all we have for Berlin we may need to assume we have to do the Zooming ourselves with the android devices that [dshanske] has
#
[tantek] nice. thank you [Rose]
#
[Rose] Then if we have the rooms that's great, if we don't we can still do our thing
#
GWG [Rose], as long as we have HDMI in all rooms I can bring enough Android devices for all
#
GWG They are small
#
[Rose] Sounds great

#
[Yulia] @GWG in the rooms, they each have their own id that cannot be changed and you cannot log out
#
[Yulia] but we can call into another room
#
[Yulia] as for the hdmi's -- we should have them, but we always have problems
#
[Yulia] we should do a check with the IT folks on friday
#
Loqi yea
#
[tantek] [Yulia] yes the past couple of IndieWebCamps we found that only the main room had an HDMI connector that worked to connect to the screen in the room

#
[manton] I wonder if this could be a good fit for helping manage Homebrew Website Club. I like the way Mike is thinking about this as a kind of IndieWeb-friendly Meetup.com alternative: https://microblog.mikezornek.com/2019/11/13/i-am-trying.html
#
[manton] > Giving groups a place on the web to call home. Create a website with modern event and membership tools for your social or peer group. Host using your own domain, own your data and control your privacy.
#
Loqi I am trying to setup chats with fellow meetup/group organizers for product research re: @clubhousehost. I want to learn about how groups are run, how success is measured and what people are struggling with. My open meeting calendar: calendly.com/zorn...
#
[tantek] [manton] IndieWeb for group-sites is definitely an interesting on-topic for UX and dev discussion
#
aaronpk in terms of the meta aspect, every HWC organizers is free to use whatever makes sense for the local HWC
#
GWG [Yulia]: What was the name of that fish place that isn't open on weekends?
#
[manton] Yeah, that's how I was thinking about it too... Each local group can use whatever works for them. Currently for Austin, we obviously have the wiki and I have a partial list of past attendees that I email a reminder to.
#
[tantek] aaronpk, I agree, and I think there are patterns worth documenting of what the "separate site" local HWCs have done, and are working, as advice for new local HWCs that want to do their own separate sites

[Yulia] @gwg Fisch Schmidt
#
[Yulia] @gwg by the way, i looked for the video. I couldn't find it and then i realized why... i had a laptop refresh this summer and forgot to back it up ☹
#
[tantek] oh no
#
GWG [Yulia]: I am bringing an inexpensive camcorder
#
GWG [Yulia]: Might go there Friday
#
GWG They are open till 7
#
[jgmac1106] we do our own site in New Haven...http://elmcitywebmakers.com/
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: Your energy on that always impresses me

#
[tantek] step one, please document the URLs on /HWC for each city with its own separate site (some are there I'm sure)

#
[jgmac1106] gwg please remember I am also trying to count this as creative activity at my university (do stuff rather tha publish research people won't read) so I can justify time as on the clock....it isn't all volunteer free time
#
[jgmac1106] but thanks just the same!! You deserve as much credit
#
[jgmac1106] !tell schmarty, dougbeal I think you made websites for your HWCs please add
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[schmarty] jgmac1106 HWC NYC website still in progress. will add it when it's live. also i think w/ the spacing you missed dougbeal in your !tell.
#
Loqi [schmarty]: [jgmac1106] left you a message 15 minutes ago: I think you made websites for your HWCs please add

#
[dougbeal] [jgmac1106] No domain yet, just on a subdomain.
#
Loqi [dougbeal]: [jgmac1106] left you a message 1 hour, 38 minutes ago: I think you made websites for your HWCs please add
#
[tantek] a separate subdomain is worth documenting as an existing approach
[chrisaldrich], [tantek], [benatwork] and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] to me a subdomain is a domain I don't have to pay extra afford. I could never have all my wesbites if I had to buy each domain
#
[jgmac1106] for* not afford

@mattl if you have a .org domain, go pay to extend the registration now before it gets really expensive. https://domainnamewire.com/2019/11/13/breaking-private-equity-company-acquires-org-registry/ (twitter.com/_/status/1194728947839307776)
