Help Out

Want to help out with one of those? Say something in IRC and add yourself to the page.

David Shanske is willing to help out with an Indiewebcamp, providing support and planning to the extent possible. This would include some volunteering. Depends on what is needed and when and is willing to try to work with anyone who needs help in the Northeastern United States, and possibly farther afield if sufficient notice.

Organize

Want to organize a 2016 IndieWebCamp in your town and don't see it above?

FAQ

Creator camp not a hackathon

Q: Is IndieWebCamp a hackathon?

A: IndieWebCamps are creator camps focused on helping everyone develop, grow, and advance their personal indieweb presence.

The term "hackathon" has become to mean some sort of short term event where a group of people come up with a typically new project to develop just for the sake of the hackathon, often in a competitive environment, and often for prizes donated by one or more sponsors.

IndieWebCamp resembles that only in the aspect of group collaboration.

  • IndieWebCamp encourages you to work on and improve your existing personal site, not just a new site (unless you need a new site!)
  • IndieWebCamp encourages you to work on your personal site in a way that encourages longevity and your personal use beyond the camp itself.
  • IndieWebCamp focuses on collaboration instead of competition. There are all sorts of different experts at IndieWebCamp and we do our best to both ask questions of each other and help each other!
  • The prize(s) you win at IndieWebCamp are your own improved personal website, hopefully with new features you can then use day-to-day after the camp has completed!

As we do "hack" on stuff (our own websites), IndieWebCamps do have a "hack day" component of it, but certainly not "hackathon" in the commonly understood "corporate hackathon" sense.

Past Planning Notes

New York City

2016-01 IndieWebCamp NYC.

  • Mozilla NYC is a very doable weekend venue (8-15 people, several breakout rooms)
  • Interested:
  • co-organizers: ...
    • Tantek Çelik can help co-organize and be the Mozilla connection to help with hosting
    • David Shanske willing to try to work with anyone who needs help in the Northeastern United States, and possibly farther afield if sufficient notice.
    • ...
  • ...

Some date constraints:

  • weekends are preferable
  • I ( Tantek Çelik) can get in-office help thru end of February 2016 for Moz NYC venue, not necessarily after.
  • FSa work better for David Shanske so we're considering those dates first. But he has nothing scheduled for January/February weekends and would accept any.

Possible dates: (all are Friday…Saturday) Please add your ** +1/0/-1 signature preferences!

Los Angeles

2016-11-04…06 IndieWebCamp Los Angeles is planned and dates are firm!

Check out specific planning details:

Interested in attending:

New York City 2

Main article: 2016/NYC2

Dates and venue for the second IWC NYC this year are set!

August 27-28 at the Dalberg offices in New York City

Organizers? If you can / want to help co-organize, add yourself!

  • David Shanske is willing to be a co-organizer and as of now has not booked anything for July/August.
  • Emma Hodge is also willing to be co-organizer.
  • Tantek Çelik also helping co-organizing
  • Looking for volunteers and help with creating/cloning the IWC NYC2 wiki pages!

Previous date discussion:

In particular, July/Aug/Sep may be good as it will be warmer, and 6 months since the previous IWC NYC.

Possible dates:

HWC 2016

2016 Homebrew Website Club start date! Should we start the 2016 HWC meetups on:

  • 2016-01-06 only one week after 2015-12-30,
    • but avoids having a meetup land the day before US Thanksgiving
    • 0 Tantek Çelik ok with this. no longer any preference.
    • 0 gRegor Morrill OK with this. Not attending an HWC currently so does not impact me.
  • 2016-01-13 two weeks after 2015-12-30,
    • but collides with Wednesday before US Thanksgiving thus unlikely to have much (any) participation at US venues.
    • 0 Tantek Çelik ok with this.

Based on lack of strong input on this, we are going with the default continuing every two weeks from 2015-12-30 and starting 2016 HWC with 2016-01-13. - Tantek 14:56, 23 December 2015 (PST) (updated, no objections, going with this plan. Tantek 07:51, 31 December 2015 (PST))
