[tantek] I for one think it would be nice to not have an empty 2021.indieweb.org even if it's just one event for the year
#
[tantek] since we have the previous years
#
[tantek] and those pages look more like an official IWC "event" than the "here is an event post at indieweb.org" which could be anything of any level of "formality"
#
[tantek] (which are great for 90% of the use-cases to be clear)
#
[tantek] just think IWCs are worth elevating a step up like that
#
[KevinMarks] Would we want to sign up to this? https://www.howtostopfacebook.org/

#
[manton] No Austin IWC, at least not the first half of 2022. There seemed like too much uncertainty and it was hard to tell this early if enough people will be interested. Micro.blog is going to try to do a virtual Micro Camp with a small in-person component… If it goes well I'll definitely feel more confident about doing an IWC later.
#
gRegor I'm hoping for IWS next summer, that would probably be my next in-person
#
GWG gRegor: How about an IWC San Diego?
#
gRegor I doubt that would happen before IWS. I'd participate, but not really up to co-organizing it I don't think
#
GWG gRegor: I just enjoyed your town and would love an excuse to visit again
#
GWG Maybe [chrisaldrich] will do another LA and I'll add it in
#
gRegor I figured :) Well I'm open to social visits. A lot less organization needed for those, haha
#
gRegor I'd come up for an LA event
#
@RobbiNespu Wutt #Metaverse.. Hurmm.. I am more excited about #Fediverse and #indieweb (twitter.com/_/status/1453908784833654788)

@kevinmarks ↩️ They worked and still do; they showed user value for bloggers when we indexed them at Technorati, they show user value for indieweb people now. The name got attached to a lot of more theoretical things too, and get tangled in SEO nonsense, but the model works. (twitter.com/_/status/1454119085789306891)

#
sknebel hm
#
sknebel one-way travel about as long as the event
#
[tantek] sknebel, we're adding a no-host morning cafe hour from 9-10am, and a aftercamp snack time from 15:15-17:00, both in a nearby (adjacent) cafe that we've confirmed is open and has small tables with chairs around them if people want to keep informally hanging out / hacking
#
[tantek] I mean view sourcing 😉
#
sknebel lol
#
[tantek] Maybe even *new* sourcing 😮
#
aaronpk oh my, I don't know if I remember how to pack for a conference
#
sknebel aaronpk: good news: you don't need to stream said conference too :D (right?)
#
aaronpk no but i was planning on streaming IWC :)
#

#
sknebel the stakes for having all the kit for that are a bit lower ;)
#
aaronpk indeed :)
#
aaronpk also i have already been chatting with marc about streaming btconf
#
sknebel oh, the location is only openin that week, that's why its not on any map yet
#
sknebel fun
#
aaronpk i was wondering about that
#
[tantek] aaronpk, didn't you blog your "what I pack for live streaming a conference" ?
#
aaronpk haha yes that was a few years ago tho and everything has changed
#
[tantek] sknebel, yes we're going to be among the first people to visit that library and cafe!
#
sknebel hm, right next to train station. so I could be dumb and take an early train
#

#
[tantek] what are indieweb talks

[chrisaldrich] What is Quest 2?
#
Loqi Quest 2 is the current version of the VR headset by Facebook/Oculus https://indieweb.org/Quest_2
#
[chrisaldrich] Anyone want to add some IndieWeb relevance to that ^^ page that got added (accidentally by Loqi to to natural language parsing) this week?
#
[tantek] yeah, unless someone is actually using or playing with it for their own site or something, should probably delete it
#
[tantek] what is the metaverse
#
Loqi The metaverse is a concept of a virtual 3D world introduced in Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash” book, later adopted by the Second Life startup/service, and recently an area of interest on the web, and a topic of discussion at the 2021-10-09 IndieWeb Create Day https://indieweb.org/metaverse
#
[tantek] or move it to a subsection there ^ and redirect
