Homebrew Website Club
Welcome to Homebrew Website Club - this month we have 3 meetings
Webmention is now a Candidate Recommendation for w3c which is kind of a big deal
we incubated and developed webmention in the indieweb community and brought it over to the SocialWG at w3c
we have 27 implementations of webmention already and mow w3c is calling for more: https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/
if you have a webmention implementation, you can test it at webmention.rocks - both sending and receiving
If you remeber PingBack, there was no test suite for that, so webmention is already better
the other thing that webmention specifies is that you can update and delete comments and mentions too
last week we added a new Homebrew Website Club in Nürnberg - adding to LA, DC, Göteborg, Portland and Brighton
Nürnberg has an amazing photographer @iwontsignuphere who took photos that look so professional
and @iwontsignuphere also has a Nimslo camera that means she can make twitchgifs of people too
Indiewebcamp Summit this weekend has it's own site at http://2016.indieweb.org/ - it's $5 to attend or free if you indie RSVP
apparently $5 is just enough to encourage people to code up RSVP support - look at Emma, Cassie, Kevin, Kyle,
We may need a new RSVP value to mean 'remote attending Yes' -I'm worried I'm using a food slot
the most individual RSVP was at http://tilde.town/~vilmibm/index.html
we also have a travel assistance fund for under-represented people to come http://2016.indieweb.org/#travel-assistance
you used to RSVP by adding yourself to the wiki page. Now it's a projects list if you want to say more http://indiewebcamp.com/2016/Guest_List
there are 3 events happening in a row http://indiewebcamp.com/events Indiewebcamp, W3C Social Web and decentralisedweb
part of decentralised Web is thinking about replacements for DNS and http
we assume domain names are a given; they are thinking about layers below what we're worrying about
if they give us a new way to look up a site, we can still decide how to process it and connect it
my hope with decentralised web is to make the composable versus substitable distinction to map ideas to us
html is the one piece that is going to be very hard to displace
content hashing and URLs are in tension, as what URLs point to are mutable.
anyone want to demonstrate anything they got working since the last time you were here
my site is http://jfrndz.com - I've been playing with a framework called Perfect
Perfect lets you write server-side apps in Swift - I built an IndieAuth handler in it to sign into my site
I my extend this to do private posting; RSVPing to the summit made me want to do private RSVPs
my site is at http://massless.org/ - I haven't touched it for a while. What's a good starter project?
setting up indieauth with rel=me links is a good first thing to do
if you do that you can log into the wiki
today I took the strikethrough style off the link to my upcoming.org profile
in the last 24 hours @andybaio the creator of upcoming restored all the archives at the original permalinks
so http://upcoming.org/user/6623 now maps to http://archive.upcoming.org/user/6623 - and all my events are back
our last upcoming event was a microformats dinner http://archive.upcoming.org/event/microformats-dinner-8119684
there were also events in the then future like: http://archive.upcoming.org/event/back-to-the-future-ii-5390660
this is a huge feat that andy did - this is an indie site that was built from the ground up to preserve web data
I chose to wear my upcoming t-shirt today from the kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waxpancake/the-return-of-upcomingorg
as the community grows, we'll build more community sites like this - upcoming is an example
I wanted to show off https://ben.thatmustbe.me/mobilepub/ which is Ben's posting site for micropub that works offline
andy's twitter is @waxpancake and @upcomingorg is the sites
@andybaio says: For every random jerk trashing you online, there are thousands of people that quietly love you.
