>IndieWeb is an intentionally positive community that recognizes and celebrates the creativity and collaboration of independent creators (and independence) and the diversity of people, cultures, and opinions that they bring to IndieWeb.

powerful sentence

I think I should fit in nicely. My blog is for independent web-workers

I really appreciate "intentionally positive community"

there are parts of the web that I find necessary to keep up with, but are not "intentionally positive"

I began a sabbatical-like period a couple weeks ago and am trying to catch up on everything IndieWeb's done since I last looked. A few days ago I learned about indieweb.xyz, and today I discovered commentpara.de, and so on
#
jmac
there's so much amazing new work i feel impatient to learn everything. (Alas I can't make it out to portland this year!!)

let's see if that fixes it. confusing that there's a two day conference then a 4 week every tuesday thing

!tell [chrisaldrich] are you going to the Domains Conference or Domains Camp? Or do you know anyone in the IndieWeb community that is? Trying to fix the entries on /events and seeing if they both deserve their own local wiki pages
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
I was hoping to go to Domains conf., but sadly can't.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I'll be participating in the camp though.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I meant to add them to the /education page...
#
[chrisaldrich]
Though both are recurring.
#
[tantek]
I'm a bit confused by the camp - none of the pages say when it ends
#
[tantek]
also whether it's just Tuesdays or all week for weeks or ... ?
chrisaldrich joined the channel
#
chrisaldrich
They release new content on Tuesdays and campers can work on it in their own time throughout the week.
#
chrisaldrich
I thought it was odd that there was no end date, but am presuming that it's going for 4 weeks like last years' camp.
#
chrisaldrich
It's structured like a MOOC, but with the name of an online camp.

deathrow1 and [Ana_R] joined the channel
#
[Ana_R]
[tantek] I just had a look and wikipedia and they do Portuguese in a way that aims to be inclusive to every Portuguese speaker and they expect some articles to have a mixture of spelling depending on the editor’s origin as long as any Portuguese speaker can still understand.
#
[Ana_R]
Given this, I will stick to just making it `pt` and do my best. The only reason I mentioned it was because I’ve seen projects separating them (even language apps) but I think this approach is more inclusive and invites others to edit and add stuff.

On first look the mf2 seems good, gRegorLove. wondering if it should downgrade from h-card to h-adr if no name is provided. Though I guess that is not super likely to get used.

I vastly prefer using the more specific terms, because "serverless" is kind of this grab-bag of different things - people typically mean FaaS + X, but not always
#
aaronpk
doesn't serverless also include google cloud platform?
#
sknebel
GCP has offerings that would be "serverless", yes
#
aaronpk
in which case i'd say it's a little more than "which have been used for experimental IndieWeb building blocks implementations"
#
aaronpk
given that bridgy has been running on it for many years
#
sknebel
if you want to include AppEngine, then yes :D

sknebel
(which one arguably can. E.g. wikipedia excludes it because it was python only, which seems like a nonsense distinction)

Bridgy AFAIK is a client-server-BaaS architecture

not client-BaaS

What's a "client-server-BaaS" architecture?
#
sknebel
AppEngine classic does that "write in our pattern/framework and we'll take care of scaling for you, you don't need to know how many instances/... are involved in the backend, and we bill you for the resources actually used" thing serverless is often defined as
#
[kevinmarks786]
