- we started with the simplest tool we could get to work. the domain name.
- with individual websites how can we help people own their own data
- then we moved onto social media
- so we post events on our own website
- I happen to be running this on WordPress
- KevinMarks comes along, and posts an RSVP on his own website
- happens to be running Known
- important part is that he is saying he is going to this event
- and points to the event web page
- uses small building blocks
- key parts here p-rsvp
- yes I am going to this event
- and the in-reply-to - links to the event
- then he needs to notify me
- uses key building block Webmention
- uses a POST
- source is the RSVP, target is the event
- my site receives that, goes and gets the source, verifies the RSVP
- he RSVPs to the event, between two websites, no intermediary
- we feel strongly about meeting people where they already are
- largely that's in the silos
- you can see people hae retweeted it
- commented on google+
- grid of building blocks
- some stats
- if you have a personal website you likely already have microformats and don't know it
- keep tackling the huge problems
- we're right there with you
- at the same time, try thinking small, try thinking incremental, and meet people where they are
Q&A:
Q: are microformats are something you guys designed and invented? or found? what thoughts are into JSON vs HTML?
- A: microformats existed before IndieWebCamp
- we chose HTML because it is there
- milliions billions of websites
- and with microformats
- we want to meet people where they are
Q: could you explain relationship between IndieWebCamp technologies and W3C Social Web Working Group?
- A: we are fortunate that key IWC players are in the SWWG
- these core building blocks are open standards
- Webmention, Micropub are working their way through these standards bodies
