[tantek] ^
#
[tantek] At least for Pacific 🙂
#
[schmarty] don't think i'm ready to wikify this yet but i definitely have a Brooklyn venue available for a future IWC NYC that can comfortably host 20-35 folks.
#
[tantek] 😮
#
[tantek] does it have windows? of the opening to the outside and allowing airflow kind?
#
[schmarty] it has non-opening windows, but the facilities folks claim upgraded air filtration
#
[schmarty] i'll send in a CO2 monitor and we can gather some data.
#
[tantek] could be interesting to find out what level/grade of HEPA filtration per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEPA#COVID-19
#
[schmarty] 👍
#
[tantek] [schmarty] 20-35 folks could be big enough to plan a Summit IMO
#
[schmarty] we could also build ourselves a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi%E2%80%93Rosenthal_Box
#
[tantek] because I feel a lot more people would opt for remote participation
#
gRegor ooh yes, +1 for Corsi Rosenthal boxes
#
aaronpk haha i made a hacky one of those during the fires in portland
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> [tantek] London HWC happens every two weeks.
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> We met last week.
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> I shall try and attend a HWC Pacific since I am now in a Pacific time zone.
#
[tantek] capjamesg++ thanks for the clarification and I note that aspect is up to date here: https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club#%F0%9F%8E%A1_London_/_Europe_(ONLINE)
#
Loqi capjamesg has 20 karma in this channel over the last year (81 in all channels)
#
[tantek] we need to update that whole section though, lots of cities need to be bumped down to https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club#Needs_restarting
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Yeah. The Edinburgh one I don't think will be started for a while.

#
GWG [schmarty]: Should I ask what Brooklyn neighborhood or too soon?
#
GWG Some are harder than others
#
[schmarty] Metrotech. The space is at 370 Jay St, an NYU building.
#
[tantek] wait, there's an actual neighborhood called "metrotech"? that's so 1990s cyberpunk
#
gRegor haha
#
[tantek] cue the darkwave
#
[schmarty] yeah there is a cluster of ridiculous buildings named "Metrotech 1", 2, and so on. i used to work in one of them!
#
[schmarty] it's an attempt at manhattan-style density in the upper-west corner of Brooklyn and it's pretty bleak tbh
#
GWG Not sure the parking there, but there's always the LIRR from Jamaica.. although it is a bit longer.

#
[KevinMarks] Brooklyn has good bike rental, including ebikes
#
GWG [KevinMarks]: I have been afraid of bikes since my brother hit his head after falling off one
#
GWG Pre helmet mandate
#
[schmarty] the subway lines A, C, F, and R all have a Metrotech stop.
#
[tantek] "bleak" is good for cyberpunk promo photos
