The Organizers Meetup Berlin 2019 is a half-day of activities and sessions before IndieWebCamp Berlin 2019, for everyone who has co-organized an IndieWebCamp in the past two years or at least two Homebrew Website Club meetups with at least one meetup photo.

Who

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.

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
