Domain of One's Own Meetup (October 2020)

Everyone who is interested in the topic is welcome to attend.

We expect there will be students, teachers, designers, web developers, technologists, and people of all ages and ranges of ability from those just starting out with a domain to those running DoOO programs at colleges or even people running their own hosting companies.

We'll meet via Zoom for audio/video and will use an Etherpad for real-time chat and note taking for the event. 

We will 

• Have discussions about A Domain of One's Own and the independent web;
• Get to know others in the space;
• Find potential collaborators for domains-related projects you're working on;
• Explore new and interesting ideas about what one can do or accomplish with a personal domain;
• Create or update your domain
• Have the chance to ask colleagues for help/advice on problems or issues you're having with your domain;

Agenda 

• Welcome/Brief introductions
• Main topic: To be determined. (Have a topic idea for discussion at the next session? Drop us a line by adding a comment to this post or one of the syndicated copies, ping me in chat, or track me down on your platform and means of communication of choice.)
• Group photo for those who wish to participate
• Demos, questions, problems: 
  Ideally everyone should bring a topic, short demonstration of something they've built or gotten working on their website, a question, or problem to discuss with the group. Depending on time and interest, we can try to spend 5-10 minutes discussing and providing feedback on each of these. If questions go over this time limitation, we can extend the conversation in smaller groups as necessary after the meetup.
