The pandemic started to hit America in earnest just as we were wrapping up IndieWebCamp Austin 2020. If the event had been scheduled for even a couple weeks later, it would’ve been cancelled, as everything moved online to Zoom meetings. Years have passed since then. It now feels like the right time to pick up where we left off with in-person meetups.
So we’re bringing back Austin’s informal meetup for the IndieWeb. Alternatively called either Homebrew Website Club or simply IndieWeb Meetup, it’s a chance to catch up with fellow Austinites who are interested in the open web. Bloggers, developers, and designers who want a more decentralized, personal web.
We’ll meet at Mozart’s Coffee on the first Wednesday of each month. 7pm. As the weather cools off, we’ll likely be at a table outside. No big agenda, just sharing what you’re interested in, what you’ve done for your own website, thoughts on the fediverse, or discussing current tech news.
The next meeting will be November 6th. The day after the election! Assuming there aren’t post-election riots in the street, with Mozart’s Coffee ransacked and the deck reduced to a burning wooden pier floating into Lake Austin, hope to see you there.
