GWG No IWC West Coast this week?
#
GWG We were on a roll.
[prtksxna] joined the channel
#
[prtksxna] GWG: I remember tantek saying that he’d set something up
#
GWG [tantek]: I have the ability to schedule a Zoom meeting if needed.
#
GWG I'm already staging a nicer background.
#
[tantek] prtksxna that was last week. for this week I was suggesting that another West Coast organizer would be good (I have "hosted" two weeks in a row)
#
[tantek] GWG++ that would be great. Now we just have to find a host
#
Loqi GWG has 21 karma in this channel over the last year (141 in all channels)
#
GWG Are non west coasters excluded?
#
[prtksxna] Ah! Sorry, I misunderstood.
#
[tantek] no of course not!
#
[tantek] the West Coastness refers to the timezone really, which happens to be more aligned with typical schedules of people on the West Coast
#
GWG If no one is interested, maybe I'll do it.
#
GWG I'm not the best host though
#
[prtksxna] I am on *a* west coast 😛
#
[prtksxna] But my brain is barely functioning at 6:30am so … 😞
#
GWG [prtksxna]: I recall some years ago, we had IndieWebCamp West in Portland, and IndieWebCamp East in NYC at the same time. And then Berlin came on, and wanted to call themselves 'Far East'. I said that had a different connotation.
#
[prtksxna] 😅
#
[tantek] GWG, we get better at things by practicing 🙂
#
[tantek] GWG, also, maybe [schmarty] could use another co-host to help make East Coast / NYC online HWCs happen on a weekly basis!
#
GWG [tantek]:
#
GWG I wouldn't mind that either.
#
[tantek] GWG, chat with [schmarty] and see what the two of you can make work!
#
GWG I'll see if he shows up.

#
[schmarty] Hello let's chat at a time! jmac has also expressed interest in more regular meetings

#
[jgmac1106] I can be East Coast back up,my problem is the kids 18:00 is usually primetime at the house from dinner to bed, usually until about 20:30
#
[LewisCowles] what is FUD?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "FUD" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "FUD is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[LewisCowles] FUD is the combination of fear, uncertainty and doubt; designed to circumvent rational thinking and engage hasty submission into a viewpoint.
#
Loqi ok
#
[LewisCowles] e.g. If you [don't] use WordPress you'll be hacked. Either way this argument is put forth it's a poor one, and ignores a variety of factors.

[jgmac1106] ^^^except reality...you mean you left your username as admin and password as password?
#
[jgmac1106] when I look at how many daily pingsall my /wp-admin gets....blows my mind.....people constantly throw stuff at it

#
[LewisCowles] [jgmac1106] this is why I like having a static website. People need to crack one of my RSA keys in order to crack my site
#
[LewisCowles] I've been led to believe 4096-bit length will make that largely improbable

#
Salt[m] GWG: saw something west coast HWC this week? did something come together? If not, I'm down to host!
lahacker joined the channel
#
GWG Salt[m]: Do you need a Zoom room setup?
#
GWG I am fine with whoever does it
#
Salt[m] I have Zoom premium
#
GWG I still need to summon [schmarty] and jmac about East
#
jmac I am summoned. what's the question?
rmdes joined the channel
#
GWG More frequent East Coast zoom meetups
andysylvester joined the channel
#
jmac My first reaction is that we currently have zero scheduled, so lemme at least make a new event page for one in May
#
jmac Oops someone beat me to it
#
jmac Thanks, someone!
#
jmac GWG: You want to do weekly checkins like the ones that [tantek] leads out west?
#
GWG Till the stay at home order is lifted
#
jmac Answer: yes, because I'm reading the scrollback now
#
jmac I'd definitely like to drop in on the next pacific-time meeting
#
jmac Is that the April 29 one?
#
GWG It will be this week. Salt[m] might host
#
Salt[m] jmac: planning on one on the 22, but unsure what the norms have been :P
#
GWG Weekly for west coast
#
GWG [tantek] just felt we should take turns on hosting duties
#
GWG I'm willing to host East Coast, West Coast....Ivory Coast...whatever coast
#
Salt[m] well yes, but the norms of how it's being run, so far, I'm thinking that a check-in and more conversation focused start is great, though I'd like some work time as well, that was a bit lacking the last time I was on
#
Salt[m] gonna go ahead and at least setup the event
#
[tantek] Salt++ thank you!
#

#
Salt[m] I'm sure there was a way to duplicate/clone/copy event details, but I'm not finding it...
#
Salt[m] never mind, hadn't seen the dropdown arrow next to edit due to umatrix
#
GWG Now all we have to do is figure out East Coast
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] I can host East Coast but it will be at 20:00
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: That may overlap with the other group...
#
[jgmac1106] ohh wC when do they start? I wil just go to that if awake or hop in East Coast once kids settled
[Aaron_Klemm] joined the channel
#
Salt[m] fyi, I am working on the event page, just implementing the remote stuff I wanted to last time... not that other's need to follow this format, but hoping it will work out!
