IndieWebCampNYC 2014

The very first IndieWebCamp in New York City - one of many IndieWeb events.

Own your data.

Rather than posting content on third-party silos of content, we should all own the content we're creating. Publish on your own domain, and syndicate out to silos.

Join us at The New York Times building in New York City for two days of a BarCamp-style gathering of web creators building and sharing open web technologies to empower users to own their own identities & content, and advance the state of the indie web.

We should reach out to NYC Creators and send them personal invitations, even publicly so (e.g. @-mention on Twitter), e.g.

  • organizers of Brooklyn Beta - Chris & Cameron
  • participants in Brooklyn Beta

Invite NYC Bloggers

Now that we have "Bloggers" as another category of participant, we should reach out to those that have shown an interest in things IndieWeb or indieweb-like and send them personal invitations, even publicly so (e.g. @-mention on Twitter), e.g.
