#
ptramo[d] #indieweb-chat is still frustrating on discord
#
[schmarty] ptramo[d] #indieweb-chat is being deprecated in favor of #indieweb-random for that reason
#
[schmarty] What is discuss?
#
Loqi 💬 Join #indieweb discussions via Discord, Slack, web chat, or IRC, now with additional focused channels for developers, WordPress, and meta topics! https://indieweb.org/discuss
#
ptramo[d] [schmarty]: Right, but it still shows activity I cannot see regularly, so same difference.
#
aaronpk Speaking of which, can we finalize this?
#
aaronpk I think we need to settle on the name of the new channel still
#
aaronpk I think "cafe" is currently in the lead
#
GWG I think the only time I still use chat is in response to others, or if I don't notice that activity is still in there
#
[tantek] Yeah same. Have been largely ignoring chat unless I want to do a bunch of Loqi wiki commands that are more like noise to humans
#
[tantek] I think part of the transition plan from the old -chat channel should be removal of the channel from Discord so it doesn't ping/trigger people as if there's activity
#
aaronpk Yep
#
GWG aaronpk: Can you program Loqi to tell anyone who posts in -chat the channel is retired?
#
aaronpk i can lock it down on IRC even, either block people from joining or redirect them to the new channel
#
aaronpk and on slack and discord we can just delete the channel
#
GWG aaronpk: I'd say lock new people immediately. And start reminding old people and eventually kick them?
#
aaronpk Just say the word and I can do it. I've just been waiting for finalizing the new name
#
GWG I don't think I can myself. But I think even without finalizing, I'd lock the channel to new people.
#
aaronpk Nah not until there's a replacement
#
GWG So how do we get to cafe?
#
[tantek] We get more people to vote on the options

#
[tantek] When is the next FrESH?
#
[Joe_Crawford] It’s not yet set.
#
[Joe_Crawford] Was vaguely wondering if there was a tool I could use to solicit feedback on days and times. Get advance interest.
#
[tantek] aaronpk, more important than offtopic/cafe IMO is the live events chat channel. Really missing that in every HWC, and seemingly Etherpad can be a barrier to some folks
#
[Joe_Crawford] Somethin* I could put on Mastodon, elsewhere. Calendly ish
#
aaronpk That seems like a fun feature to add to Meetable
#
aaronpk oh yeah live events channel, are we good to go on that?
#
aaronpk I can budget some time later today or tomorrow to do a bunch of chat channel admin work if we have settled on the names
_IWDiscord, pcarrier, bacardi55[m] and IWDiscord joined the channel
#
capjamesg[d] aaronpk I would love the live events channel.
#
capjamesg[d] And a Meetable feature to solicit interest in an event!
#
capjamesg[d] I have seen several people use https://lu.ma for this.
#
capjamesg[d] [edit] I have seen several people use https://lu.ma for this.
#
capjamesg[d] Which may provide some inspiration if you decide to build something in Meetable!
#
capjamesg[d] (To be clear, I'm not recommending Luma.)

yep and crab1 joined the channel
#
aaronpk omg the cat wearing google glass 😻
#
[tantek] We need to get more folks to vote on the live events channel
#
[tantek] Like maybe we should start asking at the start of every live event (HWC, FRESH) for people to please go vote on the live event channel names or suggest another :)
#
catgirlin.space how do you vote?
#
[tantek] You edit the wiki and add your vote and optionally your reasoning / thoughts / feels
#
[tantek] And yes that means you can change your vote if you change your mind (e.g. someone latter makes a good point)
