IndieWebCamp is for active creators only in order to focus the limited time we have on productive real world discussions and code/design/ux sharing that will help us move forward.

Attendees must actively use a personal domain name, or be an apprentice to someone who has one in order to attend.

Planners: Tantek Çelik, Aaron Parecki, Amber Case, and Crystal Beasley.

What

Own your data.

Rather than posting content on third-party silos of content, we should all own the content we're creating. Publish short status updates on your own domain, and syndicate to Twitter. Publish photos on your own domain, syndicate to Flickr, etc.

This is the basis of the "Indie Web" movement (see why for more). We'll get together for a weekend to talk about what has been done in the field, and what still needs to be done. There will be workshops and breakout sessions.
