I've been finding myself desperately needing the concept of sub-events in Meetable for the IETF meetings (I want to list the times of the actual OAuth sessions in addition to the overarching IETF meeting), does anyone have thoughts of how this would also benefit indieweb events?
#
aaronpk
like I don't think it makes sense to make individual sub-events for each session at an indiewebcamp, since the wiki ends up being good enough for that since it also then includes session notes and such. so is there some other time we might use that here?

the few times we did multi-timezone things maaaaybe
#
aaronpk
oh yea good call
#
aaronpk
i think GWG's comment is probably the best first step of this, just adding a "parent event" concept and each event still gets listed in the main list and everything
#
aaronpk
but then at least they can cross-link to each other
#
gRegor
I've done some parent/child events like that for some work projects, though only displayed the child events when you clicked into the main event.

could also be optional to make childs visible everywhere

Does anyone have any reservations about RSVPing on events.indieweb.org
#
capjamesg
The IndieAuth RSVP requirement may deter people from joining an event.
#
capjamesg
Especially our pop ups.
#

I like the HWC Pacific text under RSVP "If none of that means anything to you, don't worry about it: just show up! The Zoom meeting link will appear shortly before the meeting time."
#
[tantek]
capjamesg, who is the audience for pop-ups? I believe that will help answer your question
#
gRegor
Back when Twitter was a thing, I did experiment with processing tweet replies as RSVPs on my indie events. But rsvps for HWCs were always "nice to have" imo, not required
#
capjamesg
[tantek] Something like "Build a website in an hour" could be for anyone!
#
capjamesg
The subject doesn't require any technical experience!

https://gregorlove.com/2019/12/following-up-on-easiersvp/ is my previous work on that, and the indie event linked there

capjamesg++ that's a good use-case, thank you. I think we should be able to accomodate that by having an RSVPs section in the Etherpad for a pop-up

#
aaronpk
yeah I don't think we've ever had an RSVP requirement for HWCs, it's more just for fun
#
aaronpk
that's why the line "just show up" appears all over the place
#
aaronpk
also remember you can RSVP to an event on events.indieweb.org via webmention, indieauth is not a requirement
#
aaronpk
plus you can also just send a regular webmention that says "hello" to show up there
#
gRegor
oh yeah

^ How does that look? Thinking that's an easier minimal example.
