Indieweb Meetup

The Ballarat IndieWeb Meetup is a free drop-in session at the Ballarat Hackerspace for anybody interested in making their own website, running their own email address or domain name, and everything else related to owning your online presence. Whether you're a business owner or individual interested in learning how to take control of your online services, this session is a time when volunteer professionals will be hanging out at the Hackerspace ready to answer questions or help you with your projects. 

This is a relaxed monthly space for sharing projects, learning from one another, and tinkering with the smaller, stranger and more independent side of the web: a place where you own your identity, publish your own content and have a site to call your own.

Come along and meet local people who understand how the pieces fit together, from choosing a domain and setting up DNS to finding hosting and publishing your first page. Whether you’re starting from scratch or have been building websites for decades, there will be people willing to share what they know.

There will be no pitches, growth hacking or pressure to turn your hobby into a startup just people making and sharing interesting things and helping one another along. Come along to show off what you've made or just to get some inspiration.

Beginners, experienced builders and the merely curious are all welcome.

The sessions are free and run by volunteers, but if we helped you with your project/problem then donations are welcome (physical or digital payments both accepted). All proceeds go towards keeping Ballarat Hackerspace running. 

Held at Ballarat Hackerspace, 136a Albert Street, Ballarat Central

(of course we have our own indieweb website too: indieweb.au)
