@lightcoinI like the indieweb POSSE tactic: post on own site, syndicate elsewhere. I always post long-form on my own site first, then eventually post to Medium later. Will eventually figure out a good POSSE workflow for microblogging, too. (twitter.com/_/status/1513527154188951558)

[tantek]1yeah, as capturing how we did things back then. there's an element of building on and using existing services before building / installing / setting up your own that is exemplified there.
tracydurnelllost in the discord ether last week -- at HWC last week @lahacker and I were discussing that there might be a place for a happy medium between the informality of HWC and intensity of a full IndieWebCamp
tracydurnelland potentially saving up some ideas for discussion topics that would benefit from more of a quorum (in the etherpad? in the event listing?), and anyone who shows up votes on which topics to talk about, more like an IndieWeb camp
tracydurnellwe were thinking it was different from the pop up sessions because the topic's picked in advance and they're longer devoted to a deeper dive on one topic
tracydurnellanother approach could be picking something from the "to do list" and devoting a little discussion time to thinking them through, like a few weeks back we talked through ways to visually represent IndieMark and ways to refresh or update the concept
tracydurnellyeah we were thinking it would still work with the same variety of usual activities / topics -- discussions, demos, etc -- while adding a little extra intentionality / purpose?
sknebel(my wednesday evenings are my own IRL thing each week, and customers keep putting regular meetings on thursday mornings so staying awake for US ones is ill-advised)
angeloi was originally thinking that there might be an anxiety about showing up because you don't know what to expect in terms of activity.. even a simple "these people are actually physically in the zoom right now" would move in that direction but being able to raise your expectations and plan ahead for the "big one" would go one step further
angelofor example, if there's ten people in the room you can join, leave your video off, say "hi" and just lurk.... if there's just one other person in the room it's a very different thing.
angeloi think the added coordination (topics/voting) is only necessary if more people actually show up to the big one.. in which case we could start by just referring to the big one as such and react accordingly.
angelowe could put the event page up now with a slightly different title.. the only real difference on the outset would be slightly raised expectations of attendance.
tracydurnellwe could always come up with a brilliant name in the future and just call it something marginally different like "May HWC" or "Monthly HWC" to start?
angelowhen it comes to weekends i believe the assumption is that we have more leeway to decide time of day. to maximize timezone compatibility we've repeatedly settled on ~9a PST for popups.. which is mid-morning for us on the west coast of US, early afternoon for east coast and early evening for european zones.
