I’m under the weather in LA attending IndieWeb Summit remotely today. There’s some good documentation, but ping me if you need help getting into the chat, finding streaming video, or accessing resources.
Browse the collection, and look for a title the represents how you feel about Ontario Extend, or a colleague’s work. Tweet it out so we can all listen to the digital record spin.
While looking forward to IndieWeb Summit this weekend, I take a listen back at the past courtesy of the Ontario Extend and the Great 78 Project at the Internet Archive.

It looks like I will be speaking at IndieWeb Summit! Specifically, I’ll be giving a keynote about how to “Own Your Mobile Experience”.
As a long-time enthusiast for these tiny computers we carry, I try to make most of the things I can do o...
This promises to be interesting! I’m particularly interested in seeing demos of the reader portions.
It may be more compact if you could do a full circle set of posting, syndicating, having a few people comment, get backfeed (someone in the audience can help hurry Brid.gy along if necessary), read notifications in your reader, and then reply back via mobile. Then a few one-off’s of other stand-alone pieces would be fantastic. We definitely need to see Kapowski!
Is there a way to broadcast your mobile screen for folks to see it easily?
@GiftedTawk Need to go back to my notes, you are like the third person in Allentown, PA in three days expressing interest in the #IndieWeb summit.
We should see if you folks could organize a meet up and talk the importance of having fun and kids chillaxing on their own domain

Hey @GiftedTawk@Spellacy was one such soul (still digging for the other person)...no need to hide the Bell on this one.
and best part of building your own websites nobody cares if you crack it

Perhaps you were thinking of Tim Clarke (@FloatingTim) or Lora Taub (@ltaub)? That would give you 4 not counting their students that might be interested. That’s also more than enough to do a Homebrew Website Club on a regular basis too.
I know that some have set up remove viewing/remote attendance parties for Camps/Summit in the past–not a bad idea Greg!
The premise behind your post would make an incredibly valuable conference session at the upcoming IndieWeb Summit. Any chance you’re attending (in person or remotely)? We need your ideas.
The ninth annual gathering for independent web creators of all kinds, graphic artists, designers, UX engineers, coders, hackers, to share ideas, create and improve their personal websites, and build upon each others creations.
I’m still working out a conflict to figure out if I’ll physically be in Portland in person, but at the very worst, I’ll definitely attend remotely. This is my favorite event of the entire year, so I definitely won’t miss it.
There are still some tickets left so RSVP now! I hope you’ll join me.
Summary: Our first episode since January. David Shanske and Chris Aldrich get caught up on some recent IndieWebCamps, an article about IndieWeb in The New Yorker, changes within WordPress, and upcoming events.

Perhaps a future episode on Micro.blog?
Fellow educators, teachers, specialists, instructional designers, web designers, Domains proponents, programmers, developers, students, web tinkerers, etc.,
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.
