[capjamesg] What is a blogging challenge?
#
Loqi A challenge on the indieweb can either mean a blogging challenge, a list of questions to answer or a topic to write about in a post, sometimes tagged/invited by others to do so, or an ongoing event-like post which invites people to post achievements towards a goal for a specific time period, like exercise or posting photos at some frequency (daily), also supported by silos like Strava and micro.blog https://indieweb.org/blogging_challenge

abhinav080497 Hey folks, I'm Abhinav from IndieWeb club Bangalore. We have a good think going here with our member count reaching almost 200. We are planning to a IndieWeb conference here in Bangalore towards the end of year. We are hoping to attract 300+ attendees. I wanted to know if I need to talk to someone to get any permissions or anything. If you have any comments or questions, please let me know.
#
abhinav080497 We are in very early stages of planning right now. The conf will include talks, demos and hands-on sessions, and will be over two days. We'll have tickets and sponsors.

[tantek] That sounds like an amazing conference! 300+ is a lot. We've never held an IndieWebCamp that big so you may be on your own figuring out how to scale it. Largest we've done is IndieWebSummits of ~100 people max I believe
#
[tantek] What is IndieWebCamp Organizing
#
Loqi IndieWebCamp Organizing is a great way to bring together your local IndieWeb community https://indieweb.org/IndieWebCamp_Organizing
#
[tantek] ^ see that for an outline and how to organize an IndieWebCamp
