Loqi mblaney: jgmac1106 left you a message 8 hours, 41 minutes ago: want to keynote IWC Online and talk about ihazawebsite? We can prerecord if the time shift is too much or simply shift the keynote time
#
mblaney I could put something together, how long were you thinking?

@andymci ↩️ RSS? Google Reader went bye-bye but there’s @feedly and @Inoreader and others. Pretty sure that’s what the whole #indieweb movement is all about. (twitter.com/_/status/1214012799929737216)
#
@rtanglao sadly i will be cross country skiing instead of indieweb microblogging which i highly recommend :-) <gratuitousplug>https://www.rolandmicroblog.com/ </gratuitousplug> (twitter.com/_/status/1214041242201231360)

@jeffpaul ↩️ We should chat soon about IndieWeb stuff, as that’s on my (admittedly unpublished) 2020 list as well, would seem wise to see if we can tackle some things together (twitter.com/_/status/1214044917867130881)

@phirephoenix It is definitely very Titanic deck chairs-y but I've been working a bunch of indieweb migrations and now my personal sites finally have proper TLS encryption (which were a pain to set up at my previous host, yes I know about LetsEncrypt) and I'm lowkey delighted about it (twitter.com/_/status/1214192811748331520)

[jgmac1106] !tell gwg, chrisaldrich I had an idea, why not do a live recording of your IndieWeb WordPress podcast as a keynote...if you could keep it to 20ish minutes
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

aaronpk [jgmac1106]: the goif event needs a timezone since it's not at a location, there's no way to tell what actual time this is happening https://events.indieweb.org/2020/01/global-open-initiative-foundation-meetup-PqL7mC7ClePq
#
[jgmac1106] Okay I will fix, thanks for heads up
#
aaronpk it's not even anything to do with the new events site, just imagine anyone reading that page and trying to join the event
[tantek] and Naptra joined the channel
#
[tantek] Treat it as UTC by default and see what happens 😛
#
[tantek] I mean events without a location ought to really use UTC anyway 💁‍♂️

@johnjohnston Listened: Microcast #081 – Anarchy, Federation, and the IndieWeb This is a really interesting listen, Doug, @dajbelshaw, takes a philosophical view of the IndieWeb and compares it to federation.

Loqi [davidmead]: [jgmac1106] left you a message on 2019-02-24 at 5:19pm UTC: anyone else remoting...do we have a jitsi room set up not relying on the bandwidth in Austin?
#
[tantek] no you don't, because that means there's likely an inflationary effect coming which will raise prices and make everyone net poorer
#
[davidmead] stop making sense [tantek] 🙂
#
[tantek] I’m not a talking head

@bascht ↩️ I think it's either self-hosting or bit-rot. None of those silos are there for longer than a VC deems them necessary. As a first step towards #indieweb -ifying my online presence I started to aggregate as much as I can onto my own domain. (twitter.com/_/status/1214277459140628482)

@bradenslen I have a theory that #indieweb #webmentions like we see on Wordpress, help excite Googlebot. Webmentions, between blogs encourage longer, more frequesnt replies/comments to a post. Googlebot responds to that added activity and text. Sample is limited tho. (twitter.com/_/status/1214303163089641473)
#
jmac [schmarty]: yo
#
[schmarty] jmac: tmiller and i had been co-organizing HWC NYC events, but life seems to have gotten in the way.
#
[schmarty] i got a bit demoralized about running them on my own at the end of 2019 so i'm holding off on new events until i find another co-organizer!
#
[schmarty] the major things i need from a co-organizer is ... accountability nudges to make sure we schedule new ones, coming to events, and sharing them out to your network as you are comfortable. nice-to-haves include scoping out potential venues and doing more expansive marketing.
#
jmac So I have attended zero HWC events outside of the big portland summit in 2018 (which was great) and the medium-sized conference that [jgmac1106] held at Pace later that year
#
jmac Are we talking more of a small-scale, regular meetup?
#
jmac (I say "big" and "medium-sized" in relative ways here)
#
[schmarty] oh right! i am talking about smaller more frequent events. once per month would be great. twice per month amazing. meeting for ~2 hours (quiet writing hour + one hour for meetup).
#
[schmarty] what is HWC?
#
Loqi Homebrew Website Club is a growing world-wide network of meetups for everyone who wants to take back their web experience from social media silos, and own their online identities & content, or just want support with blogging! https://indieweb.org/hwc
#
[schmarty] "HWC" is short for Homebrew Website Club and is shorter to type, but i have taken to calling them "IndieWeb Meetups".
#
aaronparecki.com edited /short-domains (+61) "/* io */" (view diff)
#
jmac So naturally I'd like to attend one or two before committing to anything longer term but I invite you to consider me quite interested in being an ad-hoc co-organizer for those one or two.
#
jmac I am good at organizing stuff like this and full of all kinds of troublesome opinions. If all's you need is encouragement and gad flying I can do this.
#
[schmarty] haha, perfect! let's try it out and see if we can get something planned for end of January?
#
jmac And shouting. What small technical audience I have is interested in my (too-infrequent) IndieWeb posts for sure.
#
jmac Sure. Did you have a date (range) and venue in mind? My schedule is alarmingly clear after mid-month. I am, how you say, pre-employed at the moment
#
[schmarty] the meetups can be truly easy to organize but i get discouraged when i think i might end up alone. also i get really anxious trying to hold table space at coffee shops, so backup for that is very welcome.

#
[jeremycherfas] Further to this, why not ask people to do a lightning myurlis? A few questions, same for everyone. My site is ... because ... I use ... tools and the next thing I would like to do is ... [jgmac1106] [schmarty]
#
jmac Do you/we have any potential resources for venues? My wife works at Columbia (that is why I live in New York now) and I can ask if there are any spaces we could borrow for a small meeting
#
[schmarty] looks like Jan 22nd would be the next meetup date that matches with the "global" HWC (so we'd be on the same date as other cities), but I have a class that night. i could do something the evening of Tuesday the 21st.
#
[schmarty] alternately, we've had some success meeting on Saturday afternoons (e.g. Jan 25th)
#
jmac Either of those days would work well for me
#
jmac 25th is chinese new year tho, if that makes a difference
#
jmac So maybe 21st is better just for that?
#
[schmarty] haha, good point!
#
jmac co-organizes
#
[schmarty] i have a slack conversation open with some regulars so i will ping them and see what they think. [dmitshur] is a very reliable attendee, [mifga] attends pretty often, [tmiller] sometimes helps organize, and GWG makes the trip into the city on occasion.
#
aaronpk oh hey i may be able to join you for HWC NYC in feb...
#
[schmarty] in terms of location i have been suggesting places around NYU 'cuz i live in the area. we've hosted at Think Coffee on Mercer St, the one near 14th St and 8th Ave, and The Bean near St Marks/Astor Pl. i also did one in Brooklyn. i still haven't found a location i really like tho'.
#
[schmarty] aaronpk: woo! when will you be around? we can choose the date accordingly.
#
aaronpk week of 17th-21st. not sure at the moment which evening would be best
#
jmac So we generally expect an attendance on the scale of ten or fewer?
#
jmac I'm 100% willing to follow your lead in terms of venue, and I love coffee shops. They give me concern that they'd be quite fast to outgrow if more than a handful show up though? (Which, good problem to have, I suppose)
#
[schmarty] jmac: i think the max i've seen is 5 so far! i bet we could get a lot more but i feel sort of chicken-and-egged on finding venues that accommodate more before i do outreach. also, i am not plugged in enough to groups in NYC that I know exactly where to start with outreach.
#
jmac Hmm.... well, looking beyond January, *would* you (and others) be willing to consider upper Manhattan? Since ya boy is married into the Columbia community, I just might be able to find some larger accomodation.
#
[schmarty] basically what i bring to the table is i know how to edit the wiki and events site, i am a friendly face, happy to answer any questions about the indieweb, help people on their projects, and chat, and am diligent about the photo- and note-taking to document what everyone's been doing.
#
[schmarty] i'd be up for that, and gwg would probably be more likely to go to upper manhattan than lower.
[dmitshur] joined the channel
#
[dmitshur] Quick message cuz I’m busy right now and can’t catch up until later, but just want to quickly say I’m super excited for an HWC event at end of Jan and will definitely make it!
#
[dmitshur] In nyc that is
#
[schmarty] i should really see what NYU spaces are nearby that i could access, with being married into the NYU community. 🤔
#
jmac I also know folks on NYUs faculty and can ask them what they know about spaces there. (They're all ex-MIT and can understand my hunger for just grabbing a classroom for dumb reasons now and again.)
#
Loqi yea
#
jmac Oh, well, if *you* have that base covered...
#
[schmarty] my spouse could set us up with space as well. she has a whole lab, lounge, and classrooms in brooklyn which would make a perfect indiewebcamp space for a full weekend event.
#
[schmarty] i am less sure about just picking an NYU space for the more regular meetups, since i don't want to require people to RSVP for security desks if i can avoid it.
#
jmac right
#
jmac One thing at a time. :)
#
jmac I would encourage you to make small-scale January plans, just to light the pilot
#
[schmarty] haha, yes, not looking to plan a whole IWC now.
#
jmac What I bring to the table is that I am the chucklehead who asks what the meeting's agenda is
#
jmac And then closes the meeting with at least some idea when the next one is, and so on.
#
[schmarty] hahaha, well i got the knowing-the-agenda part covered.
#
Loqi awesome
#
[schmarty] excellent requirement before closing.
#
jmac Anyway I'm down for penciling in evening of Jan 21 in the NYU vicinity for now, and expecting a low-stakes ad-hoc gathering
#
[schmarty] let's do! i'll ping the regulars and see how that looks. would you be able to make on one the afternoon of the 25th if other folks can't do the 21st?
#
jmac Sure
#
[schmarty] great! i'll ping back here about it soon! thanks so much!
#
jmac 👍
