#
[tantek] aaronpk ^ should we exclude "postponed" events from the Newsletter? Otherwise from the summary it looks like e.g. there will be an IWC EDI in <1mo.

[tantek] capjamesg, do you still want IWC EDI showing up in the Newsletter? I think aaronpk is working on dropping events that are postponed. Might be worth having a backup plan like change its dates to sometime in 2026?
#
[tantek] we have room for 3 more "Top Edited Wiki Pages" if anyone wants to help with gardening a favorite page or two!
#
capjamesg Yes, let's drop it.
#
capjamesg Francesco and I spoke and we're no longer aiming for June.
#
capjamesg I'll change the dates to next year.
#
aaronpk oh hm, there's no microformats attribute for the event status
#
aaronpk so i will have to match on "POSTPONED" in the event name
#
aaronpk let's see if that works

#
gRegor Ah yeah, only brief discussion about it so far: https://github.com/microformats/h-event/issues/6
#
Loqi [preview] [dshanske] #6 Adopt iCal Status
#
[tantek] gRegor++ good find. Worth adding https://events.indieweb.org/2026/06/indiewebcamp-edinburgh-1HYdJ5KntMdU as an example of POSTPONED? Might need to extend the iCal status property accordingly (also 'event-status' to scope the semantic, since 'status' is very overloaded)
#
gRegor I was just noticing POSTPONED doesn't seem to be a status, in that RFC at least. Is there a later one?

#
gRegor commented with archive links of "tentative" and "postponed" example, and q about the latter one
#
gRegor Not sure why the 2026 Edinburgh isn't showing up in the newsletter now, the code to generate the newsletter doesn't seem to do anything special like cutoff at a certain date. It shows up in the mf2 parse of the upcoming events.
#
aaronpk oh i hacked it live
#
gRegor Ohh
#
aaronpk looks like it's working, i should commit
#
gRegor nice :)
#
aaronpk ✅ pushed
#
gRegor thanks!
#
aaronpk as I get more and more grey hair I have less and less patience for developer ceremonies
#
gRegor haha, relatable
#
capjamesg My first take when reading that was "what is a developer ceremony?" aaronpk 😂

#
gRegor First, you put on the dark hoodie
#
gRegor Second, dim the lights and turn on some green ambient lighting XD
#
[tantek] what is CLI
#
Loqi command line interface refers to the use of text-based commands in a terminal application to take actions such as install or update software, and is part of setting up most CMSs and running SSGs; due to difficult to remember and easy to typo commands, typically for web developers, and not recommended for any general audience IndieWeb tools or software https://indieweb.org/CLI
#
[tantek] what is developer ceremony
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "developer ceremony" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "developer ceremony is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] developer ceremony is /CLI
#
Loqi ok
#
loqi.me created /developer_ceremony (+16) "prompted by [tantek] and redirect added by [tantek]" (view diff)
#
[tantek] gRegor, no no that's hacker ceremony XD
