Following on to some of the design work and thinking of centuries of academics including Mike Caulfield, we’re hosing an upcoming mini-BarCamp on using one’s own domain for commonplacing, note taking, and sharing one’s writing in public (or private). Those in the Domains space are encouraged to check it out and bring along their colleagues and students for this free (and hopefully fun) mini-conference. Because the sessions are only as interesting as the people who propose them, I’m hoping there might be some here who might propose a few topics, particularly as they relate to online teaching, learning, and note taking on one’s own domain. We’re endeavoring to make the day accessible to those without a technical background, so you needn’t be a programmer or developer to attend.
Details follow below:
Gardens and Streams II: An IndieWebCamp Pop-up Session on Wikis, Digital Gardens, Online Commonplace Books, Zettelkasten and Note Taking
Event Details
Date : Saturday, September 25, 2021
Time : 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM Pacific
Event page : Gardens and Streams II | September 25, 2021 | IndieWeb Events
We’ll discuss and brainstorm ideas related to wikis, commonplace books, digital gardens, zettelkasten, and note taking on personal websites and how they might interoperate or communicate with each other. This can include IndieWeb building blocks, user interfaces, functionalities, and everyones’ ideas surrounding these. Bring your thoughts, ideas, and let’s discuss (and build).
This will be a continuation of the ideas from the Garden and Stream pop up session in 2020. Everyone is welcome and need not have attended prior sessions.
Format
We’ll try to do something between a traditional all day IndieWebCamp and a single session pop-up over the span of several hours so that we can accommodate a brief introduction and three BarCamp topic related sessions. Feel free to brainstorm session ideas in advance of the mini-camp, but we’ll choose session topics the morning of the event.
