IndieWebClub Bangalore #21

Agenda

This will be a writing focused session, where we’ll spend the first half of the meetup in discussion. Our agenda for this week’s discussion is around using your website as a social space.

• Do you look at your website as a space for individual expression, or do you consider it a social space that connects you to other parts of the IndieWeb?
• What are your feelings around comments on personal websites? Have you enabled them on your own blog? Do you leave comments on other blogs?
• Have you reached out to your favorite bloggers over email? Have people reached out to you? How are these interactions fundamentally different from public comments?
• Have you experimented with social features like WebMentions, social media integration, or ActivityPub?
• Have you ever participated in a blogchain — a series of posts spread across multiple personal websites, where writers respond to and build on each other’s ideas? What do you think of the form?
• Have you ever participated in an IndieWeb Carnival? What do you think of the form?

We’ll spend the second half of the meetup writing and publishing a piece on our personal websites. We’ll provide writing prompts to get you started.

Remember to bring a device you can use to write and post to your blog!
