[aciccarello] GWG, did you record the demos form IWC SD? I noticed the video was still listed as "Coming Soon" https://indieweb.org/2023/SD/Demos
#
GWG [aciccarello]: Darn, I totally forgot about that.... I'd better upload that
#
[aciccarello] Looks like we have a page that links to a redirect to that same page. See https://indieweb.org/meta and /meta_tag

[hello092] ↩️ Thanks! Looking forward to engaging with and learning from the IndieWeb community. 🙂
#
[hello092] Is there an etiquette for introductions?

[tantek] to-do << delete and recreate and actual [[meta tag]] page listing IndieWeb uses of the meta tag whether for viewport, [[metaformats]], or some other actual specific IndieWeb use-case, then link to MDN for the generic meaning / use, no need to duplicate generic info here
#
Loqi ok, I added "delete and recreate and actual [[meta tag]] page listing IndieWeb uses of the meta tag whether for viewport, [[metaformats]], or some other actual specific IndieWeb use-case, then link to MDN for the generic meaning / use, no need to duplicate generic info here" to the "See Also" section of /to-do https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=92880&oldid=92850
#
[tantek] [hello092] great question and I don't think we have a formal etiquette for introductions. Perhaps we should! For now, drop by the main #indieweb channel and say hi, and mention your primary personal site that you use

[Ana_R] hummm looks like something strange happened to https://indieweb.org/
#
[Ana_R] > `MediaWiki internal error.`
#
[Ana_R] > `Original exception: [4d4e592e42a92c6e760aa668] /wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnectionError: Cannot access the database: Connection refused (127.0.0.1)`
#
sknebel aaronpk: ^^^
#
capjamesg I am seeing that too.
#
sknebel thats obviously a serverside problem. but nothing we currently can do except wait for aaronpk
#
sknebel with the last wiki update he afaik also moved the wiki to the shared server for IW stuff, but there is no access for other people yet
#
aaronpk Oh no
#
aaronpk No idea how that happened, will need to look at logs. I restarted it in the mean time

#
[tantek] Good morning #indieweb! How are we doing with IWC Brighton sign-ups?
#
aaronpk 16 signups so far!
[Paul_Robert_Ll] joined the channel
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] 16, plus myself and Mark (we’re keeping off the list to allow for some % dropouts. etc). So 18 🎉
#
aaronpk do we know if there's anyone coming from the US yet? I have this box of supplies ready to send and I could just ship it to you now [Paul_Robert_Ll]
#
aaronpk it has pronoun pins, microformats and indiewebcamp pins, nametags, and lanyards
gRegor joined the channel
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] Not sure, to be safe can ship now?
#
aaronpk sure thing
#
[tantek] it's much less expensive to ship to the UK with 2-3 weeks notice than 1 week notice
#
[tantek] (from the US)
#
aaronpk yeah looks like totally reasonable rates actually

#
[tantek] what is a micropub client
#
Loqi Micropub clients are sites and client applications that publish to servers via Micropub https://indieweb.org/Micropub_client
#
[tantek] while that's a useful page, we probably need a more user-centric page like "publishing client" or "blogging client" (or both?)
jacky and [aciccarello] joined the channel
#
[tantek] alright we have some legacy and brainstorming on the wiki about web fonts but nothing at a "web fonts" page
#
[tantek] what are web fonts
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "web fonts" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "web fonts is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
jacky I haven't but I've bookmarked https://daveon.design/introducing-fontimize-subset-fonts-to-exactly-and-only-your-websites-used-characters.html
#
[tantek] web fonts are a way to serve custom fonts on websites that have been used by some IndieWeb sites.
