IWDiscordRelay <Baudouin#1828> hello indieweb ! Bonjour de Bruxelles ! just joined and already have a question : is the indieweb 100% english or are there indieweb entities in french par exemple ?
#
bkil Hi. Interesting that I had the same question. The community seems to be mostly exclusive to the USA. You could probably find one who follows their lead around the world
#
JaeItIts[m] <IWDiscordRelay> "<Baudouin#1828> hello indieweb..." <- Maybe around the CHATONS? it’s not exactly it but shares some goals
#
IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> bkil The community is based all around the world!
#
IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> We have held — and plan to hold more — meetups in Germany and hopefully the UK.
#
IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> I’m in Scotland 🙂
#
bkil Sorry, wanted to write US-centric.
#
bkil It would be interesting to create a similar movement within the EU as well, though.

[KevinMarks] There have been attempts to translate the wiki into French previously, but as its a volunteer effort it's a little patchy https://indieweb.org/Main_Page-fr

[KevinMarks] Also if you look in https://indieweb.org/chat-names there are quite a few European people, but we haven't had a big French meetup.

[chrisbergr] bkil What do you mean, "a similar movement within the EU"? I don't see the point of it. You can organize yourself in local HWCs. We are connected by ideas, websites and the WWW. That goes beyond borders. Of course, a common language is essential....
#
Loqi cities are a good place to organize and host IndieWebCamps and Homebrew Website Club meetups; see the lists of cities below https://indieweb.org/cities

bkil You made me curious, so I ran some stats on the wiki table. 50% are from the US and 20% are from the EU. Note that I feel a disparity between the table and the chat in real life - I only see a very few talking here and those are from skewed demographics.

[tantek] E.g. I got this reply, and I keep forgetting that folks on Mastodon in general may be assuming that Mastodon's limitations are inherently part of the "fediverse" when they're not: https://union.place/@Frankc1450/110228788126722907
#
shreyanjain[m] [tantek]: more or less, yeah! for now I'm just looking around but it *has* gotten me to start indiewebifying my wordpress site

gRegor Regarding non-english wiki pages, we have started categorizing them: https://indieweb.org/Category:Pages_by_language Definitely still a work in progress
