Videos from the last XOXO are going up on YouTube. Here’s a playlist of XOXO 2024 main stage talks. There are a lot of lessons to take away from these, and many calls to action.
But if you only watch one, it should maybe be this one that broke the audience entirely.

I have put a lot of thought into deliberately shifting¹ metaphors², often in the context of the #indieweb³. One goal is to replace use of violent or divisive metaphors with actively constructive, cooperative, or joyful alternatives, like:
* gardening/farming e.g. digital garden⁴ * biology/ecology/nature e.g. digital ecosystem⁵ * cooking/baking e.g. eat your own cooking⁶ * toolmaking, clothing making, other useful crafts e.g. sew what you want⁷ * music, dancing, painting, and other expressive crafts e.g. remixing⁸ * travel, navigation, maps e.g. information superhighway⁹ * games, sports, running, e.g. surfing the net¹⁰
Some of these areas are well developed (sports metaphors), others are obvious or emergent from various IndieWeb efforts like our principles¹¹, and others could use brainstorming and experimentation.
Thoughts and words, whether spoken or written, influence each other in reinforcement feedback loops. Consciously choosing one can impact the other and vice versa.
Especially in messages to others or our even future selves, words and metaphors communicate and reinforce our values and thus merit care in their invention¹² and usage.
What are metaphors you have found constructive, cooperative, or joyful?

Last week I participated in #w3cTPAC 2024¹ in Anaheim, California. It was quite packed, and often started early, from 8am informal breakfast meetings at a nearby IHOP, to Working Group, Community Group, and other small group meetings every day (but Wednesday) til 18:00.
Midweek at TPAC was the usual Breakouts Day where a record 87 breakouts² were proposed³ and run by members of the community, deftly organized into rooms, timeslots, and a handful of themes⁴ by the W3C Team. In the evening there was an open Plenary Session⁵ open to all instead of an Advisory Committee (AC) meeting, where the result of the recent W3C Board Election⁶ was announced. Congratulations to the newly elected W3C Board of Directors!
I’m still compiling my own notes and observations. For now, the minutes of (nearly?) all the meetings and breakouts are available if you know how to find them.
Hint: W3C minutes URLs have the form (without spaces):
https:// www . w3 . org / YYYY / MM / DD-IRCNAME-minutes . html
E.g. to find the second day (2024-09-24) of CSS Working Group (which just uses "css", all lower case, as their IRC channel name) minutes, you would go to: * https://www.w3.org/2024/09/24-css-minutes.html
Every Working Group and Community Group links to its IRC Channel (all lowercase), and breakout proposals link to the channel used for each breakout. Thus the minutes links to specific groups on specific days are left as a web discovery exercise for the reader.
