#
aaronpk interesting issue just filed. i assume through searching github since they clearly don't recognize the github repo is a mirror of the wiki https://github.com/indieweb/wiki/issues/56
#
[tantek] I appreciate politely worded issues like that
#
[tantek] I wonder if mentioning the GH issue link in a wiki edit summary would cause an eventual crosslink to the issue and a way for the issue filer to see that it had been adressed
#
[tantek] I feel I have seen this happen in the past where I've mentioned some other GH issue link in a summary and the wiki edit shows up linked in someone else's repo

#
[tantek] I have interest in an IWC Vancouver and I expect a few others may as well
#
[tantek] We don't know someone local to organize a venue do we?
#
[tantek] Maybe it's time we start the future section without a specific year on /Planning and start collecting interest in IWC YVR
#
[aciccarello] Also would be interested in attending. I know people in Blaine I could stay with.
#
GWG YVR++
#
Loqi YVR has 1 karma over the last year
#
GWG I've always wanted to visit BC
#
[capjamesg] If it happened next Summer I might be able to come…

#
[tantek] YVR is also both US-visit friendly and intl visit friendly for those who are still wary of travel to the US
#
[tantek] Maybe depending on venue size / capacity we can try for a Summit? Like 10-15 = IWC, and 20+ (2+ breakout rooms) = IWS?
#
gRegor Vancouver, BC for those who don't know their airport codes (me :)

#
[capjamesg] Question: How did IndieWebCamp become IndieWeb?
#
[capjamesg] (as in, to my knowledge, there was an IWC wiki before IndieWeb)

#
gRegor Think it was 2016 we decided on that, Organizer notes on the wiki probably have it. That's when we got the current logo too
#
gRegor what is 2016
#
Loqi IndieWeb Summit 2016 was 2016-06-03 through 2016-06-05 in Portland, Oregon; the sixth annual gathering for independent web creators of all kinds, from graphic artists, to designers, UX engineers, coders, hackers, to share ideas, actively work on creating for their own personal websites, and build upon each others creations https://indieweb.org/2016
#
gRegor what is rename to indieweb?
#
Loqi Renamed to IndieWeb was a proposal from the 2016 Leaders Summit, to change our primary identity from "IndieWebCamp" to "IndieWeb" https://indieweb.org/Rename_to_IndieWeb
#
gRegor Look at these cool nerds 😎 https://indieweb.org/2016/Organizers#Photos

#
gRegor And yep, there's still various chat.indiewebcamp.com links around on the wiki
#
gRegor Which redirect though not always precisely, I think the timestamps changed. If you come across those I recommend finding the current link with timestamp and replacing
#
[tantek] should we add a section to /wikify about how to repair those chat.indiewebcamp links?

#
[capjamesg] I thought there might be a wiki page!
#
gRegor there's always a wiki page haha
#
[capjamesg] I want that on a sticker haha.
#
[tantek] [capjamesg] do you have “sticker idea” posts? 🙂
#
gRegor good idea [tantek], I'll take a look. Misspoke above, the old links are indiewebcamp.com/irc/*
#
[capjamesg] Haha no but I really should.

#
gRegor what is sticker?
#
Loqi A sticker is either a real life sticker for a project/band/place, or a photo reply (often a cartoon graphic chosen from a set) you send in direct messaging or add as a comment on some silos like Swarm https://indieweb.org/sticker

[tantek] gRegor++ looks good. added a minor emphasis so people don’t mass update and lose information (since we have some experience with folks doing that in the past)

#
[tantek] going to update / re-organize bits of /Planning for IWCs that we are lacking sufficient (local) organizer presence/time for currently
#
[tantek] not sure we need all the separate sections so I’ll try to make some sort of sense of them (guessing they are past/pre-pandemic distinctions that made more sense at the time)
