Oops, I did it again? What started off as a simple setup took two days to stage, block and light. No time to shoot before Christmas now. But it’ll happen… ATEM Mini + @EpiphanVideo Webcaster X2

Frankly no I don't trust everyone's blogs to get the event markup right. There's a lot of fields, and a lot of ways it can go wrong. IndieNews works this way and it's hard enough for people to get that right, and that's just a name or content property.
I'm going to add an "Import Event" button to load an event from a URL with Microformats, so if you want to you can post the event on your site and import it, but it will preview what it found before actually creating the event.
The other factor is that one of the primary goals of this site is to lower the barrier for people hosting events, and that means not making them think about markup at all. -

@aaronpk Congratulations on moving a big piece of IndieWeb infrastructure forward a generation or so :-)
I’m curious about your decision to omit timezones from multi-day events; won’t that cause those events to show up incorrectly for people on the other side of the International Date Line?
Yes and no.
If you want to attend an event in Portland on June 29th, and you live in Japan, and you add that event to your calendar with no timezone, your calendar will record it as "June 29th". That means no matter what timezone you switch your phone to, it will always show up as the right date.
It only fails if your phone adds a fixed timezone to it such as the timezone of your current location. In that case, it will show up at a different time once you change timezones.
Also this is not unique to the date line, it happens with any timezone change. The important thing is that if there is no timezone, calendar apps need to treat it as a "floating" or "local" time and always display the stated time of the event completely ignoring timezones.
The case where it doesn't work is if you want to remotely attend an event in a different timezone. That's why for short one-day events that are likely to have remote participants, I recommend setting a timezone on the event. But for multi-day events, you're going to have to look up the starting time on the actual schedule anyway, so you'll figure out the timezone conversion at that point instead. -

Any ideas on how to get a twitter name from a dead account? Dude has 1 follower and no tweets and no profile pic.
They're gonna do something major pretty soon which should help! https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/26/20984328/twitter-removing-inactive-accounts-usernames-available-date -
I would never want to wish iCal feed generation on anyone, it's a pretty obtuse format. That said, there are plenty of other software that publish ical feeds so I do want to be able to import those too. But for indie websites I would recommend publishing microformats instead.

Oh yeah I doubt this will give me much more then my GH5 for my purposes.
And that’s part of the reason I held back on it for so long.
But we’ve had a real awesome year on TEDD so this is my Christmas present to myself.
Not very practical but I’m super excited.
