Homebrew Website Club - The Americas
One big HWC, for anyone in the Americas who wants to dial in.
What's Homebrew Website Club?
Homebrew Website Club is a meetup for anyone interested in personal websites and a distributed web. Whether you’re a blogger, coder, designer, or just someone who wants to improve their presence on the web, this meetup is for you.
Join a community with like-minded interests. Bring friends that want a personal site, or are interested in a healthy, independent web!
What Are "Chat" and "Etherpad"?
If you have questions, ask away in the the IndieWeb chat channel, usable from a browser, IRC, Slack, or Matrix.
At each HWC, we take collaborative notes using Etherpad. This week's link is https://etherpad.indieweb.org/2020-12-02-hwc
Who's Running This Thing?

Timing and Agenda
HWC almost always overruns its nominal 90-minute scheduling. You're free to stick around as long as the Zoom room is active.
Here's a typical agenda as of November 2020:
- 5-10 minutes: Introductions, especially from first-timers
- 10-20 minutes: Demos of personal website breakthroughs
- 5-10 minutes: Vote on topics for freeform discussion
- 1-2 minutes: Take a picture (you don't have to be in it)
- Rest of the time: Share and discuss ideas from voting
RSVP (optional)
If your website supports it, post an indie RSVP. You can also log in with your website and click “I'm Going” below.
If none of that means anything to you, don't worry about it: just show up!
