"text": "IndieWebCamp East 2020 is scheduled for the weekend of November 14-15, 2020 and will be held entirely online this year. RSVPs are open now if you\u2019d like to register for free.\nIf you\u2019ve never been to an IndieWebCamp before, we\u2019ve got some details about what to expect. It\u2019s not on the schedule yet, but sometime the week before camp we hope to have one (or more) intro sessions about what to expect at camp geared toward first time attendees as well as overviews of the technology we\u2019ll be using if you\u2019d like to do some (entirely optional) advance technology set up to make your weekend more fun and productive.\nMuch like in-person camps, the program of sessions will be created on Saturday morning by the participants who show up to participate.\u00a0\nTo help facilitate scheduling sessions on the day of camp, we\u2019re asking attendees (who feel inspired) to begin the process of thinking about what topics they\u2019d like to discuss at camp. Perhaps you\u2019ve got a topic you\u2019d like to learn more about? Maybe you\u2019re thinking about a new frontier to explore and want to facilitate a group discussion around. Maybe it\u2019s a topic you\u2019ve explored fully and you\u2019d like to help others learn about? Maybe it\u2019s something you\u2019d like to design or build that weekend, but might need some help thinking about.\nSessions are the heart of a camp.\nUnlike traditional conference formats, IndieWebCamps have a self-organizing character, relying on the passion and the responsibility of the participants who attend. Attendees schedule sessions typically by writing on a large Post-It note or piece of paper and then placing them on a \u2018grid\u2019 of sessions by timeslot and conference room or virtual space. This time, we\u2019ll be creating sessions together online.\nSession proposals typically contain the following:\nA descriptive title;\nA facilitator name for a session (usually, but not always, the person proposing the session);\nA longer description about what might be discussed, brainstormed, or researched during a particular session; and\nA unique short hashtag that will be used to create an\u00a0etherpad and other possible related resources for a session.\nEveryone who attends camp is encouraged to submit a session idea. There isn\u2019t such a thing as a bad idea for a session. You don\u2019t need to know something about a particular topic to propose it, it may be something you\u2019d simply like to learn about.\nIf you\u2019re not sure where to start for ideas, try asking yourself any of the following questions:\nWhat would I like my website to be able to do?\nHow did xyz get their site to do something?\nI\u2019d like to quit using social\u00a0silo\u00a0X? What would I need to do to replace that functionality to do that on my own website?\nWhat would I like to learn about this weekend?\nWhat could I help others to learn based on my past experience?\nAre there pages/ideas from the wiki that might benefit from a brainstorming session?\nPast sessions are also a great source of ideas, and it can often be a good idea to revisit old session ideas to discuss new methods of approaching a problem, new design ideas, or new ideas that have come up since those prior sessions.\nListings of prior IndieWeb sessions by year\nOn the first morning of camp, once everyone has had the chance to write down one (or even more) session ideas, everyone will take turns one-at-a-time to place their ideas into slots on the session grid for particular time slots and Zoom rooms. Generally we give first-time/new attendees the chance to schedule their proposals first. If there are similar or overlapping session proposals, session facilitators can discuss concatenating them into a single session.\nIf you\u2019d like to begin thinking about session ideas before camp begins, please do so. Hopefully this jump start will help us to more quickly organize the sessions on the first day of camp so we have more time for the sessions themselves.\u00a0 We\u2019ve set up an Etherpad at https://etherpad.indieweb.org/2020-East-Sessions to let people begin collaborating on and thinking about ideas before camp begins. If you like, in true IndieWeb fashion, we\u2019d invite you to post your session ideas on your own website as a place to keep them until camp starts on Saturday, November 14th.\nIf you have questions before camp about the process or need help in any way, feel free to jump into the IndieWeb chat and ask anyone in the community for help or guidance.\nTo reiterate, we\u2019d love everyone attending to propose at least one session and you\u2019ve got an opportunity to begin thinking about it now so that you\u2019re not as pressed for time on the day of camp.\u00a0 Posting your session ideas ahead of time is entirely optional, but may help you (and others) out by beginning the brainstorming now. We will explain all of this again on the first morning of camp and you\u2019ll have a little bit of time to make proposals then as well, so don\u2019t sweat it if you\u2019re not inspired to do something now.\nWe look forward to seeing you in November.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0",

Some day when I have a bajillion followers and every tweet gets 10K+ exposure, I’ll write a long meandering blog post about how it’s so hard to be famous on social media and how I have to work diligently to ignore everybody who DMs me—then I can get interviewed re: my Minimalism.

Some aides inside the campaign have started to grow fearful of what their employment prospects may look like if the president were to lose, sources said.
We need to cut costs or this restaurant is in trouble. What can we lose from the menu?
— I think the fingerlings can go. They take too long to prep and they aren’t that popular.
Ehh, seems like small potatoes to me. Anybody else?
