He wants to finish some personal writing tasks, capture some of the things he's been working on recently, and do some development.\n  \n\n\n  rhearamakrishnan.com \u2014 Edited a poem during our writing time. Nice! Been reflecting on HWC and how it allowed her to use the web and her website to focus and promote her work and writing. Has a lot of new material to edit together before publishing. Just went to an intensive writing workshop in New York and generated a lot of new writing to work through.\n  \n\n\n  Rosco \u2014 Working on a browser-based game for students at DHF to learn programming concepts. Thinking about starting with physical versions of the game first, maybe translating to the web later. \n  \n\n\n  ashturner.net \u2014 Also working the programming tutorials and experiences for teaching computing concepts. Arrays and for-loops are particularly tricky for beginners. Ash discussed some inspirational single-purpose websites for teaching concepts, like The Be\u0301zier Game, and KERNTYPE. Has a personal website built on Adobe Portfolio, but interested in moving off of that because she doesn't want to pay for Creative Cloud anymore.\n  \n\n\n  martymcgui.re \u2014 Doing lots of unseen plumbing work on his site, nearly read to flip over from a Jekyll-powered site to a Hugo-powered site. It's likely that no one will notice the difference! Also been playing a lot with iOS Shortcuts (formerly Workflow) and built a Workflow to take an iOS Live Photo, turn it into an animated GIF, turn that into a looping video, and post the video to his site. Here's an example post. Being able to do this helps him feel less anxious about having Live Photos on his phone and feeling like they're inaccessible.\n  \n\n\n  derekfields.is \u2014 Been going to conferences and talking to companies about jobs. Also working on his LED backpack for cyclists startup. Accelerometer detects braking, turning. Been playing with WebUSB a bit, like with gamepad controllers.\n  \n\nOther discussion:\nCommitments to complete before 2019\n  GitHub Pages for hosting. Rhea built her site there, using some tutorials from Codecademy. Likes the simplicity of HTML and CSS, loads fast.\n  GitHub credentials, SSH keys as \"a password that gives your laptop the power to act as you\".\n  The dreadful state of JavaScript development tools, NPM dependencies, etc.\n  \n    How to advertise HWCs better (we missed posting it on FB etc last time).

XOXO: Yes, you do belong here

    "content": {
        "text": "In September I attended XOXO Festival for the first time. I\u2019ve heard great things about the festival over the years. I almost attended in 2016 but I couldn\u2019t quite make it work and decided I would go the following year. Then they announced they were going on hiatus, so there would be no XOXO 2017. I was really glad to hear they were coming back this year, so I was determined to attend.\n\nXOXO bills itself as an \u201cexperimental festival for independent artists and creators who work on the internet.\u201d The organizers are intentional about having a diverse and inclusive event, both speakers and attendees. Potential attendees fill out a brief survey about themselves and something they have recently created that they are proud of. This allows the organizers to invite a more diverse group of attendees instead of just having first-come, first-serve ticket sales. They also subsidized 20% of the attendees this year, which meant 400 free tickets.\n\nHere\u2019s a good little intro video with some footage from this year:\n\n\n\nSo what was my XOXO experience like?\n\nI was struck by how friendly everyone was. There was a large pavilion outside the venue with standing tables and a many people would readily walk up to you and introduce themselves. There was very little \u201cwhere do you work?\u201d in the conversations and a lot of \u201cwhat are you excited/passionate about?\u201d It felt like a gathering of soon-to-be friends and not a schmoozy networking event.\n\nThe opening keynote Thursday night by Cameron Esposito was funny and powerful. One of the best lines included in that video above was \u201cart dismantles power, otherwise it is propaganda.\u201d You should check out her stand-up special, Rape Jokes, which deals with her experience of sexual assault. It\u2019s free to watch on her site and she\u2019s collecting donations for RAINN. As of this writing, over $80k has been raised.\n\nIn the weeks prior to the festival, attendees were invited to join the XOXO Slack group chat. There are a bunch of different topical channels in there to help you connect with each other. Friday at the festival was largely reserved for social meetups. The Slack channels organized over 30 meetups around Portland. It ended up being a great way to ease into the festival by meeting people and exploring Portland.\n\nI attended the #indieweb/#mastodon meetup in the morning and the #mcelroy meetup in the afternoon. If you\u2019re not familiar with the McElroy brothers, they\u2019re best known for their hilarious advice podcast: My Brother, My Brother and Me. They have a segment within that show, \u201cMunch Squad,\u201d where they read fast food companies\u2019 earnest, actual press releases for their new food abominations. It seemed only appropriate that if we were going to have an XOXO #mcelroy meetup, it should be somewhere like Taco Bell. So that\u2019s what we did. We had some good, good (bad) food and lots of laughs. I kid you not, my total came to $6.69 (hashtag nice, hashtag blessed). For two people there, it was their first time ever eating Taco Bell, so it was a treat to introduce them to it.\n\nI might have bought munchsquad dot club after that meetup.\n\nFriday night the festival portion started, aka the Paradox of Choice. The main auditorium had Film and Animation. Another room had Art+Code. There was also the Arcade room and the Tabletop room. I went to Art+Code first and saw Jenn Schiffer\u2019s introduction, including some attendee\u2019s retro websites. I also saw Baratunde Thurston\u2019s talk about racialized news headlines and his quiz web app, Living While Black. Try it out and see if you can tell which headlines are real or fake.\n\nI decided to bop around to some of the other things going on at the same time, thinking that anything I missed in Art+Code would be recorded and posted online later. Unfortunately I was mistaken. I wish I had stayed in Art+Code longer, but oh well. I was glad to catch the Bill Wurtz segment of Film and Animation. If you\u2019re not familiar with him, start with \u201cand the day goes on.\u201d\n\nOn Saturday the conference portion started. These were the main speakers and there was only one track, so no worries about missing anything. They were also recorded and many are now posted. Check out some of my favorites:\n\nDemi Adejuyigbe\n\tOpen Mike Eagle\n\tJean Grae\n\tNatalie Wynn (ContraPoints)\nThere\u2019s several more posted on the XOXO YouTube.\n\nA recurring theme from both attendees and speakers was experiencing impostor syndrome. Some attendees even made an XOXO Bingo game where the free spot was \u201chave impostor syndrome.\u201d There was a recurring encouragement, though: yes, you do belong here.\n\nThe Slack chat was an interesting component throughout the event. I was impressed that organizers and volunteers were on it regularly to answer questions and respond to feedback. Day-to-day, improvements were made based on feedback, like adding more lighting to the picnic tables outside at night. The organizers were very receptive to feedback and criticism; it was a transparent process since all the attendees could see it. It was also great to connect with other attendees through it. I used it to meet up with people for meals and even at the airport on my way home.\n\nI went in to XOXO with pretty high expectations and was not disappointed. It\u2019s a fantastic community. I highly recommend it if you\u2019re involved in anything creative online. Hopefully I will see you there in 2019!\n\nCheck out some other attendee\u2019s blog posts:\n\n\u201cLook After Each Other(tm)\u201d by Doug Hanke\n\n\t\u201cXOXO\u201d by Jess Driscoll\n\n\t\u201cDear XOXO\u201d by Georgie\n\n\t\u201cXOXO 2018\u201d by Kanane\n\n\t\u201cWhat XOXO 2018 taught me about running events\u201d by Brandon Johnson\n\n\t\u201cXOXO 2018 Monday Thoughts\u201d by Brook Shelley\n\n\t\u201cXOXO and the Shimmering \u201dDistortion Field\u201d by Julia Skott",
