Emma Hodge

created emmahodge.org
https://github.com/indieweb/blank-gh-site
registered with gandi.net
forked from the blank-gh-site that Tom Morris created and put on the indieweb org on github
renamed the repo to githubuser.github.io
the index.html contains an h-card with a name
and a link to Twitter where people should put in their twitter account, already has rel=me
https://github.com/indieweb/blank-gh-site/network
using this technique we can get a list of who has forked that page, and help them out
she edited the Zone File in her gandi.net settings for her domain
added an A record entry, @ A (IP address from github)
and we noticed that the TTL was 3 hours, so it took a while to take effect
meanwhile she also had to create a file called "CNAME" at the root of her static site repo on github with just one line of "emmahodge.org"
she edited the index.html file and commited it, a few hours later it worked: http://emmahodge.org/

Tantek Çelik, https://tantek.com
documented some of the techniques we came up with for Device Data Portability as how tos
iPod#How_to
showed the wiki page, and talked through the reasons for it

Tom Morris, http://tommorris.org
worked on checkins
private posts and venues
shows how not-logged in view works with private posts
private posts don't show up in lists
and permalinks get a 403
shows his admin site with venue creation / editing page
shows a venue permalink
in his /places/times-square
each venue can also have a Foursquare venue ID
Foursquare API lets you pass along a URL along with a tip
so if you post tips on your own site, you can POSSE them to Foursquare and send the permalink to the original as the URL of the tip!
did a bunch of internationalization work too
switching laptops

demoing Bridget's site
she got her domain registered
setup hosting at mayfirst.org
they do hosting as a cooperative service, members not customers
http://bridgetharrison.org is up!
here's the theme from Pelican, called Flex that she's using: https://github.com/mlncn/Flex
Ben edited couple of things in the theme so the social links are rel=me links
and in the footer we have an h-card

LaraFZ who is not here right now, registered her own domain name for her project(s) and started setting up a static site on github, as well as experimenting with both WordPress.com and Withknown.com
she has http://hipstersgo.com/
and created https://github.com/hipstersgo
WordPress test site: hipstersgo.wordpress.com
Withknown test site: https://hipstersgo.com.withknown.com/
