Similar to 2018/Organizers, the Organizers Meetup sessions are open to everyone who has co-organized an IndieWebCamp from 2017-2019, planning an IndieWebCamp later this year, or co-organized at least two Homebrew Website Club meetups during those years, and posted at least one meetup photo. If you’re not sure, ask an organizer.

Etherpad Notes

What

Renewed from 2018/Berlin:

  • Tantek Çelik suggestion reading/viewing BEFORE the meetup:
    • everything linked from this section "Why to avoid negative behaviors" from the microformats wiki
      • especially Kathy Sierra article and Google Videos about dealing with poisonous people
  • Tantek Çelik consider BEFORE meetup, discuss at meetup:
    • should IWCs have red and yellow lanyards for no photo, or ask before taking photo?
      • this might result in that interesting scenario that while the meeting itself was quite diverse, the photos will not reflect it, should people exclude themselves from the pictures, and I remember this being a trouble point with indieweb when it popped up on Twitter as a topic. I definitely don't like random photos taken about me, but I'd very much encourage participating in at least a group picture - Peter Molnar
  • Tantek Çelik consider IWC Organizer kits with:
    • stickers (IWC, mf, webmention, etc.)
    • pins (IWC, mf, pronoun)
    • nametags (ideally HELLO MY URL IS)
    • red / yellow lanyards for no photo or ask before taking
    • ... if this is a good idea, create a separate page for it (linked from Organizers) and make a checklist, and/or way to order (some/most) these things as a set)
  • Tantek Çelik
    • What did we think we did right / better / worse compared to last year?
    • What did we leave open / unresolved from 2018/Berlin/Organizers?
    • What new community challenges have we encountered since?
    • What are the most important things we can do to improve the community in the coming uyear?
    • Which of those are the easiest / most scalable?
  • Remaining/ongoing tasks from 2018/Berlin/Organizers#Task_List
  • ...
  • Tantek Çelik
    • we should re-evaluate the generations page (again) at the Organizers meetup
    • It's becoming increasingly imprecise, inaccurate, misleading, and perhaps even alienating and we need to fix that ASAP

Etherpad

Ideas from this page and from Organizers#Issues were listed in the etherpad and then sessions were put in a rough priority, or given an explicit time slot.

Notes

What went well this year compared to last year

What we can do better

  • we still need
    • better name tags (re-usable / My URL is)
    • photo permission lanyards (or large red & yellow stickers as a backup)
    • pronoun pins (supply for each city's local organizer to hold onto)
    • more IndieWebCamp and microformats stickers (need supply for local organizer ahead of time)
    • large postits in advance (~30 large stickies should be fine)
  • IndieWebCamp Organizing should clarify "local organizer" requirements - so they know they have to get / order things in advance
