IndieWebCamp is a gathering of web creators building and sharing open web technologies to advance the state of the indie web. We get together for a weekend to talk about what has been done to empower people own their online identities, and then spend a day hacking and creating.

See what we've done at Previous IndieWebCamps.

IndieWebCamp has a code-of-conduct.

Contents

What is the IndieWeb?

Own your data.

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

This is the basis of the "Indie Web" movement. For more, see principles and why.

Interested? Check out what we're building and join us on IRC.


How

You don't have to come to an IndieWebCamp to contribute (although that'd be great). This wiki and the IRC Channel are active all year round, as the IRC logs show!

Whether you're just getting started publishing on the web or you've been doing it for years, the best place to start is the Getting Started page, which will show you how you can incrementally build your presence on the web.

Have a look at the IRC logs or the recent changes to see what we've been discussing/working on lately.
