#[tantek]aaronpk, one thing with the new events, there is no sign of who the organizer is by default which is a bit problematic for verifying it is actually happening. on the wiki at least we could check the Edit history. Perhaps the events could state *who* created them (URL) and when? (would help to know if an event was created long in advance and might not still be happening, or if it was created very recently and thus is much more likely to be
#Loqi[gRegor Morrill] I was watching the beginning of Bang Bang Con (!!Con) and they talked about their code of conduct. I liked these three tips they gave to stay in line with their values:
“Avoid feigning surprise.” When someone says something like “I’ve never ...
#gRegorLove[manton], is the next one scheduled? I'd like to give my librarian friend a heads up
#gRegorLoveah, I see usually first Wednesday of the month
#[tantek][manton] thanks for the confirmation. Hmm, I wonder how would we indicate a non-event like that in the new events site when a regular one is expected?
#[tantek]On the wiki we'd just put a list item on the date stating it had been canceled so anyone who was wondering would be able to discover that
#[manton][gRegorLove] Yep, usually the first Wednesday, but neither Tom or I can make it this week, and we figure with IndieWebCamp last week we'll just recover and wait until next month.

#[tantek]or on the one wiki page for the day, we could explicitly document canceled locations

#[tantek]ooh I thought of another one! Explicit Code of Conduct URL(s) on Meetable events!
#aaronpkooh nice yeah that deserves a callout like the rest of the special fields about the event
#[tantek]This is because Meetable has an RSVP button function, which can (should) pop-up a dialog linking to the codes of conduct and making the user check them explicitly saying they have read them!
#aaronpkalso the wiki never had anything like a mechanism to make you acknowledge you read the CoC before being able to add yourself to the RSVP section
#[tantek]as in, we've definitely had HWC events created by organizers who can't attend them but made sure there would be space etc.
#[tantek]and seeing on an event an explicit RSVP tagged (Event creator) or (Event organizer) automatically (since they're all the same personal URL) would provide an additional level of confidence to showing up at an event
#[tantek]btw we used to do this on the wiki with I think "(organizer)" or "(host)"
#[tantek]since for now all Meetable could know is that the person *created* the event, I think it's all we can do for now is to explicitly say (event creator)
#[tantek]we can't necessarily automatically conclude that that same person is organizing or hosting even if typically they are
#[tantek]hmmm now I'm wondering if we could use h-card "role" for this
