I tested buying a ticket for IWC West. Looks good. (Well, not just a test… I plan to be there.)
#
GWG
[manton]: I hope it works out. I want to try some new things.
#
GWG
[manton]: Do you have any session proposals? We have an etherpad

aaronpk++ because I went to his site looking for his most recent post and I had to scroll through a lot of great amplifications before I could find the thing I was originally looking for

@GWG I haven't thought about sessions yet, but I'll check out what's there.
#
GWG
We are trying to encourage attendance by having session ideas available
#
GWG
At least some
#
GWG
[manton]: I just don't want all ideas to come from chrisaldrich and I

@GWG Related to London’s or another event?
#
GWG
[Ana_Rodrigues]: Yes, I backed them up
#
GWG
I have many other events
#
GWG
I am migrating old youtube stuff to archive.org also
#
GWG
I did a bunch of 2014-2016 stuff
#
[Ana_Rodrigues]
oof that’s a lot. I’m currently uploading the analytics session one and then Sunday’s demos. My internet’s upload velocity is really really slow 😞. Yesterday one 3gb video took me around 6 hours.
#
GWG
[Ana_Rodrigues]: Will defer and maybe do some of the missing 2019 SF ones
#
GWG
Or 2016 LA
#
GWG
Will check my list
#
GWG
It's cutting the ones where we didn't stop the recorder in between that is a pain

[Ana_Rodrigues]
Yes. I was so lucky that people took breaks between sessions meaning that I could look at the audio track and see where there was almost silence and realise that that’s a session break. But my computer has limited disk space so even exporting to an external hard drive meant consuming disk memory and I had to always delete the project. Plus 3 hours per video for exporting. This also made my computer unusable while exporting/uploading :
#
[Ana_Rodrigues]
Lesson learned.
#
GWG
[Ana_Rodrigues]: We learned the stop the recorder lesson a while back for same reason. But as long as you have the time indexes, it isn't so bad
#
GWG
Of course, video editing is a pain, which is why I'm using command line cutting
#
[chrisaldrich]
I poked around a bit last night, but is anyone aware if archive.org provides feeds out? it would be nice to have a feed of IWC videos as they're uploaded.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: They have an api, it might be doable if even if they don't
#
[chrisaldrich]
There's always manual, but I'm on the border of using code versus manually checking...

GWG
[chrisaldrich]: I just gave you the option
#
GWG
aaronpk: Would you be averse to setting up a redirect with an easy URL?
#
GWG
Otherwise I can, but better under an indieweb domain
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG++ thanks, I somehow missed that advanced search with options... will look more closely when I'm back at my desk.

[chrisaldrich]: Next you'll be asking me to add it to Yarns
#
GWG
archive.org has an api....should be easy to do a granary style conversion
#
aaronpk
Sure I can make a redirect
#
aaronpk
for now make a wiki page with the link?
#
GWG
Under what?

do we need the "ONLINE: " prefixes in the event names any more?
#
[tantek]
I just duplicated HWC West Coast and dropped "ONLINE:"
#
jacky
lol like at this point, I think it's implied
#
[tantek]
yeah. shorter / less noise the better IMO

Aaronpk wasn't there some update about ThreadReader App and Micropub this week? Not seeing a blog post about it in the newsletter
#
aaronpk
Oh yea it’s fixed now
#
aaronpk
I’ll write a post for next week
#
aaronpk
I think it’s still in beta tho
#
aaronpk
iA writer shipped a fix too
#
[tantek]
worth a brief note about the iA writer update then
#
[tantek]
let's get a rolling stream of Micropub news on a weekly basis 🙂
#
[tantek]
like encouraging people to get the iA writer update because Micropub reasons x,y,z

[tantek]
hmm no new terminology pages etc. this week
#
[chrisaldrich]
tantek, the ThreadReader App thing I wrote was 8 days ago+, so it would have been on last week's newsletter I think.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I'll watch for the upgrade from beta and do another post about it then.
#
[tantek]
[chrisaldrich] hmm yes I just verified that your post was on last week's newsletter
#
[tantek]
did we ever announce that IndieWeb West Coast is a go?
#
[tantek]
like officially?
#
[tantek]
As of last week it was "tentatively scheduled"
#
[tantek]
[chrisaldrich] as co-organizer could you post a brief one paragraph blog post announcing it's on! And link where to RSVP/get tickets?
#
[tantek]
you got about 5 minutes
#
[tantek]
something like "IndieWebCamp West Coast is Officially On!"

Missed it by seconds i think.... ugh...
#
[tantek]
yup, I know that feeling
#
[chrisaldrich]
alas... prebuilt reminder for next week I guess.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I even published early to get the URL figuring I could edit more later....
#
[tantek]
you published it in time, however IndieNews didn't get it til 14:50 which is technically too late since the newsletter generates at 14:50.000
#
[tantek]
so close!
#
[chrisaldrich]
the silver lining was being reminded how easy it is to syndicate to that endpoint now compared to how I was doing it a year+ ago.
#
[tantek]
Yeah I still need to make that easier on my own site
