Personal Libraries Pop Up Session

We'll focus discussion on personal libraries on one's site and how they can interact with each other. How can we pool data and resources for the common good? How can we provide Goodreads-like functionality in a decentralized manner? What pieces are we missing? How can we add them? Are there any easy ways we can standardize the pieces for better site to site interoperability? How can we interoperate with other projects like Mastodon and BookWyrm or data sources like Open Library?

Organizationally, depending on attendees and needs we may break our time up into two or three facilitated sub sessions to focus on and cover specific topics of interest.

Format: We'll try to do something between a traditional all day IndieWebCamp and a single session pop-up over the span of several hours so that we can accommodate a brief introduction and three BarCamp topic related sessions. Feel free to brainstorm session ideas in advance of the mini-camp, but we'll choose sessions the morning of the event.

Recording: We typically record and post the Zoom recording of the event after the fact to archive.org for people who could not attend. Participants who do not wish to be recorded, may turn off their video/audio as appropriate.

9:00 AM 30 minute introduction & IndieWeb building blocks
