Only Nottingham and SF HWC this week? [manton] is HWC Austin taking a break this week?
#
[tantek]
!tell [jgmac1106] is https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/elm-city-webmakers-SlKRFTlUVyUY you? Can you confirm this is happening today?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[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
#
[tantek]
happening)
#
[tantek]
should I file that as a feature request on Meetable?
#
[tantek]
(show who created the event, and when)
#
aaronpk
Good idea. Do you think that should be publicly displayed? Or like the wiki where it's public but you have to go look for it
#
aaronpk
I do want to add full edit history to it at some point, it's storing it publicly
#
aaronpk
s/publicly//
#
[tantek]
People are used to that from gCal and FB. Creator/organizer of the event is made *very* obvious
#
[tantek]
I'm hesitant to add any events that don't look like "normal" HWC events
#
[tantek]
to the Mozilla wiki
#
[tantek]
because I don't know who is doing it, what the deal is etc.
#
[tantek]
has anyone seen any sign of HWC Austin happening? [tomwiththeweather] maybe?
#
[tantek]
!tell [jgmac1106] perhaps a bit late notice, but if Elm City Webmakers is you perhaps you can go ahead and add (and in the future) to https://wiki.mozilla.org/WeeklyUpdates/2020-03-02#Monday.2C_02_March ? (since you also wikimo access)

[jgmac1106] great. Have you ever added it to the Mozilla Wiki before? Wondering how to summarize it
#
[tantek]
or if you can go ahead that would be great!
#
[jgmac1106]
yes I did last week but then removed it, doing it now

[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 ...

2 March 2020: So, 1 month back on the indieweb. Depite it being a very busy month at work, I've chipped away at dipping my toes more and more into the indieweb. Not always successfully, but getting there. (https://pauho.net/?p=288)

[manton], is the next one scheduled? I'd like to give my librarian friend a heads up
#
gRegorLove
ah, 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.
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[tantek]
or on the one wiki page for the day, we could explicitly document canceled locations
#
[manton]
That's a good idea.
#
[tantek]
maybe that's another feature request for Meetable. to be able to explicitly indicate when a periodically regular meeting is canceled
#
@mantonsblog
Normally the IndieWeb Meetup in Austin is the first Wednesday of the month, but we’re going to skip it this week. See y’all next month.

#
[tantek]
recover and wait is a good idea [manton] — or more like bask in the glory of all the uploaded videos and demos!
#
[manton]
I hope that eventually our meetup in Austin will be big enough where if I don't show up, no one even notices. 🙂
#
[tantek]
DIY Virtual Austin IndieWeb Meetup! cue-up one of the session videos from IWC Austin this Wednesday evening and chat about it in the channel!
#
aaronpk
there's always the low-tech version of creating an event and naming it "CANCELLED: "
#
aaronpk
that's what i would do on calagator when we cancelled some meetups
#
[tantek]
It's like all the remote IndieWeb fun with none of the Covid fears
#
[tantek]
lol CANCELLED sure gets organized a lot
#
aaronpk
i mean "CANCELLED: homebrew website club pdx" or whatever
#
[KevinMarks]
That's a good tombstone for a calendar feed if an event was there before. Otherwise it silently vanishes

ooh I thought of another one! Explicit Code of Conduct URL(s) on Meetable events!
#
aaronpk
ooh 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!
#
[tantek]
darn it Loqi
#
[tantek]
can we make that only when it’s all caps like THIS IS
#
[tantek]
alright filing
#
aaronpk
i was going to say only if it's under some amount of characters
#
[tantek]
another potential filter
#
[tantek]
that is I'm filing the meetable issue 🙂
#
[tantek]
though this makes me wonder how we do agreeing to Codes of Conduct with federated RSVPs via Webmention
#
aaronpk
so this is two things
#
aaronpk
i'm 100% in favor of a code of conduct URL called out
#
[tantek]
wait so should I file two issues?
#
aaronpk
the step of requiring reading that before RSVPing is turning it into an actual ticketing system
#
aaronpk
and that has a lot of other implications
#
aaronpk
so i'd like to leave that for a separate discussion
#
[tantek]
here's what I was going to file: https://tantek.com/2020/062/b2/
#
Loqi
[Tantek Çelik] Meetable events should have a Code of Conduct field for one or more URLs
#
[tantek]
hmm I didn't think that needed to be "an actual ticketing system"
#
[tantek]
but I'll separate it
#
aaronpk
it's not, but it's getting into that territory
#
[tantek]
so that way we can separately discuss whether it is a ticketing system or not 🙂
#
aaronpk
yes and also how it relates to webmention
#
[tantek]
I'd still prefer some minimal / lightweight adding of a dialog to confirm you've read the Code(s) of Conduct
#
aaronpk
which as you observed, is one of the things that falls out of adding that kind of feature
#
[tantek]
short of a "ticketing" system
#
[tantek]
not sure about "falls out"
#
[tantek]
it's more like a UI that then spurs a need for a protocol discussion, eventually
#
aaronpk
i'm thinking i'd actually like to change the header of the RSVP section
#
[tantek]
the UI should not be dependent on the protocol in this case. it's the other way around. UI innovation drives future protocol requirements
#
[tantek]
again this is proving your point of separate issue that can use separate discussion from "just" entering/displaying Codes of Conduct links
#
[tantek]
ok splitting
#
[tantek]
glad you caught me before POSSEing 🙂
#
aaronpk
also 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]
that's very good point, that's the "good enough" bar to at least get back to where we were
#
[tantek]
still think it should be an explicit field so that explicit UI can be tied to it
#
aaronpk
agreed
#
[tantek]
and it can be explicitly presented right by / before the RSVP UI
#
[tantek]
ok putting that in the issue
#
aaronpk
good idea
#
[tantek]
separate issues filed!
#
[tantek]
ooh aaronpk, how do you feel about specially flagging/tagging an RSVP that is from the creator of the event?
#
aaronpk
oo yea
#
[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
#
[tantek]
taking that to dev
[ColinMorris] joined the channel
#
[tantek]
aaronpk, before I file any more, are the current issues I've filed on Meetable granular and actionable enough?
#
[tantek]
hoping I can at least streamline that part of the "project planning" aspect for you
#
aaronpk
i haven't read them yet, still working on other things
#
aaronpk
but i suspect they are
#
[tantek]
no worries. LMK at your convenience, no rush
