- Want to expand the capabilities of what your own domain is capable of?
- Interested in improving the #OER tools available on the open web?
- Want to help make simpler, ethical digital pedagogy a reality in a way that students and teachers can implement themselves without relying on predatory third-party platforms?
- Are you looking to use your online commonplace book as an active hub for your research, writing, and scholarship?
Bring your ideas and passions to help us all brainstorm, ruminate, and then with help actually design and build the version of the web we all want and need–one that reflects our values and desires for the future.
I’d like to invite you all to the 9th Annual IndieWeb Summit in Portland, Oregon, USA on June 29-30, 2019. It follows a traditional BarCamp style format, so the conference is only as good as the attendees and the ideas they bring with them, and since everyone is encouraged to actively participate, it also means that everyone is sure to get something interesting and valuable out of the experience.
We need more educators, thinkers, and tinkerers to begin designing and building the ethical #edtech, #OER, and interactive pedagogy systems we all want.
Come and propose a session on a topic you’re interested in exploring and building toward with a group of like-minded people.
While on-site attendance can be exciting and invigorating for those who can come in person, streaming video and online tools should be available to make useful and worthwhile virtual attendance of all the talks, sessions, and even collaborative build time a real possibility as well. I’ll also note that travel assistance is also available for the Summit if you’d like to apply for it, or you’re able to donate funds to help others.
I hope you can all attend, and I encourage you to invite along friends, students, and colleagues.
I heartily encourage those who don’t yet have a domain of their own to join in the fun. You’ll find lots of help and encouragement at camp and within the IndieWeb community so that even if you currently think you don’t have any skills, you can put together the resources to get something up and working before the Summit’s weekend is over. We’re also around nearly 24/7 in online chat to continue that support and encouragement both before and after the event so you can continue iterating on things you’d like to have working on your personal website.

An Invitation to IndieWeb Summit 2019
I will be in Slovenia this year, missing the Indie Web Summit. But you should go. A great bunch of people making headway on an important cause.
I’m going to try to attend virtually…
I just registered but there wasn’t a place to say I’m attending virtually so just want to point that out
@ChrisAldrich
I’ll ping Aaron Parecki so that he’s aware and doesn’t add the additional food, which is likely the bigger outlying concern there.
Hmmm… this looks interesting, INDEED. Thanks for the share!
Ah, that sounds like a fine time.
I wish I could be there.
Would love to attend in person but that’s not likely considering I’m attending a beer fest on June 30. I hope it meets all your expectations Chris.
Sorry, despite my normal PDX location, I’m not going to be around FTF or virtually during the camp.

If you’re still on the fence about the IndieWebSummit in June, I just watched a great video in which Stephen Downes interviews Ben Werdmüller on several topics at the overlap of education and IndieWeb. It might serve as a good introduction for those who haven’t yet dipped their toes into the water.
