Hi gang
#
jmac
Are we generally cooling it up even small in-person meetups for the nonce?
#
jmac
I'd like to help keep IndieWeb-NYC warm but I feel like the mayor would frown at that
#
jmac
I am not sure how second sentence got garbled and I shall type it again
#
jmac
Are we generally cooling it with even small in-person meetups for the nonce?
#
[Michael_Beckwit
kind of up to you i would imagine, and how willing you are to risk
#
jmac
Put that way, we should definitely not have any meetups, since I don't wanna be an unwitting vector!
#
[schmarty]
jmac: i am planning to cool it on in-person events for a while!
#
jmac
what a bummer
#
[schmarty]
we could do an online local event 😄
#
[Michael_Beckwit
i’m sure it’s getting a lot of new signups, but perhaps do online versions with something like zoom.us
#
[Michael_Beckwit
yeah, what marty said
#
[Michael_Beckwit
is google hangout still a thing?
#
jmac
[schmarty]: It's kind of a ridiculous idea and yet, these are the times
#
[schmarty]
it's "google meet" now i think
#
jmac
[Michael_Beckwit: Zoom and its friends are getting a lot of use, yes
#
[Michael_Beckwit
we’ve used it at work for years now, of which i’ve been fortunate to be a remote worker already
#
jmac
The nonprofit I help run moved its upcoming big conference to virtual-only today, so this whole topic is close to home. (Literally. I can't leave the house.)
#
jmac
(I mean, i can, but i am not supposed to go into the subway unless i have no, nor expect anyone else to, and so on)
#
jmac
I like the idea of doing an "NYC-branded" virtual meetup. Everyone welcome of course, but it'll attempt to bridge the NYC IW crowd over the plague weeks
#
jmac
I am now using my genius brain to scroll back and see that folks have been talking about the London IWC being online-only just hours ago
#
jmac
So, uh... good!
#
gRegorLove
jmac, we switched the SD meetup on the 18th to virtual
#
gRegorLove
Hangouts still exists though at some point they're likely to phase it out in favor of Hangouts Meet, which is business oriented.
#
gRegorLove
Hangouts Meet says my account can only join calls, not start them up.
#
jmac
[schmarty]: I am realizing now that I left the last meeting early. Did we have an idea of the next meeting time?
#
jmac
I would be totally down to just declare an NYC meetup next week online
#
jmac
If there isn't already a suggested date for one
#
[schmarty]
jmac: we didn't, so it's wide open!
#
jmac
[schmarty]: Wanna say 3/18 as well? That would keep to the third-wednesday pattern of last month
#
jmac
Everyone can then go over to San Diego when they're done! Follow the sun on an amazing IWC world tour
#
gRegorLove
24 hours of indieweb!
#
gRegorLove
I saw the Zoom Pro account time limit is 24 hours. We can do this.

I was thinking it might be fun to have a permanent online hangout for a while. I can imagine a lot of us will suddenly be working very differently to how we have before, so it would be nice to have digital social contact!

I think I agree with Ruxton; isn’t this a permanent online hangout?
#
[jeremycherfas]
Might be fun to have an occasional live zoom room or something, maybe three around the clock, that people could drop in on.

I was thinking more constrained than that. Like 00:00-01:00 and 08:00-09:00 and 16:00-17:00 GMT

Very excited for #IndieWebCamp London tomorrow - it may not be in person due to #coronavirus but the IndieWebCamp events are built to be remote friendly - and regardless of where we are it'll be a great time. We are a distributed bunch, after all (https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/03/clqup/)

hm, jamie's bookmark + comment is showing up as authored by the page bookmarked https://news.indieweb.org/en and in the newsletter

I guess that's by design of indienews though, submitting bookmarks.

I had hoped to drop in and out of IWC but I did a very stupid thing and downloaded a thing for Reaper that messed up all my templates etc and that I cannot walk back. So I am going to be trying to reconstruct and finish editing an episode.

i'm holding out for us to drop daylight savings by november ;-)

west coast is all set
#
jamietanna[m]
gRegorLove yes I saw that, not sure if it's best to render like so 🤔
#
aaronpk
hm yeah a boomark is expected to be a bookmark, not a reply
#
aaronpk
it's so you can submit other people's posts to indienews without them submitting it from their site
#
gRegorLove
maybe indienews can ignore e-content for bookmark posts?
#
aaronpk
that might be the fix yeah
