Homebrew Website Club
welcome to homebrew website club SF - June was very eventful; this month we moved to http://indieweb.org
so if you go to indiewebcamp.com now you will get redirected to indieweb.org which looks less like a wiki
this is the result of a lot of work by people filing issues and edit the homepage - see the history https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history
this is a huge improvement over what we had before, especially on mobile
we made the call to action clearer, and simplified the events sections
also, the chat logging has been updated- to chat go to indiewebcamp.com/irc/today#bottom - to read chat got to https://chat.indieweb.org/
we have move the more developer-related discussion to https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/
wiki notifications moved to the dev channel, along with the protocol notifcations about webmention etc to dev
related channels on microformats, bridgy and known are also show in the chat log page
if a tab you are not in has an update the tab turns yellow
if you have any suggestions to improve the homepage further there is a github issues link: https://github.com/indieweb/wiki/issues
Indiewebcamp Brighton is confirmed for September 24-25 https://indieweb.org/2016/Brighton

I gave up twitter and move back to the original social network, email
I wrote a post about setting up and understanding DNS and securing it https://begriffs.com/posts/2016-07-08-returning-original-social-network.html
you can set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC records in your DNS to secure your own email
Email I affectionately call the “cockroach of the internet,” because it is older than the web yet we still use it
I'm now wondering if I should set up a usenet server too, as that is even more decentralized than email
I can see how gmail makes thing more easy, but you can be penalised for good behaviour like unsubscribe headers
thanks Joe, you should add yourself to the https://indieweb.org/silo-quits page for leaving twitter
I finally got around to blogging the text version of the keynote I gave at the indieweb summit http://tantek.com/2016/190/b1/state-of-indieweb-summit
do you have webmention on your site?
I have an rsvp on my site http://tantek.com/2016/194/t1/homebrew-website-club-mozsf that shows up on kevin's site http://known.kevinmarks.com/2016/homebrew-website-club-sf-2016-07-13
haas there been much webmention spam?
so far only through backfed spam from twitter via brid.gy Vouch will help with that.
you can set up dynamic webmentions on your static site with webmention.herokuapp.com
webmention is now a w3c candidate implemention - webmention.rocks has test for you to try and report to w3c
try your site with webmention.rocks then do an implementation report here https://github.com/w3c/webmention/tree/master/implementation-reports
