So, who else is coming to @indiewebcamp Brighton? There’s currently an embarrassing all-white-male list of “creators” http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/UK/Guest_List#Creators …
@emmajanehw Common criticism (one that I’ve made myself and that I’ve heard from others at @indiewebcamp)—how do you suggest they improve?

@aral Currently the top level page talks about the “what” but not the “who”.@indiewebcamp -
@emmajanehw Good call — so focus on the people. Focus on the importance inclusivity/diversity… make it a primary element? +@indiewebcamp

@aral BarCamps are *intensely* difficult to promote to an outsider as they’re generally about the ppl.@indiewebcamp -
@emmajanehw To reach outsiders, stop calling these things "BarCamps". I get that it's an inside joke, but it's dumb. Bar is a real word. -
@awolftune My point remains: a conference without a published *content* schedule is really difficult to promote. cc@aral@indiewebcamp -
@emmajanehw@awolftune@aral hm.@indiewebcamp has a clear goal - help you have your own website and learn from others already doing so -
@kevinmarks “goal” and “help” are not used in that context on home page or event summary page. cc@awolftune@aral@indiewebcamp -
@emmajanehw@kevinmarks Perhaps instead of closed by default/find ‘creator’ to open, open by default, learn, then maybe sign up as last step -
@emmajanehw I know it’s not what anyone wants, but reads as “be an apprentice to one of these white guys to get in & learn” +@kevinmarks -
@aral I didn’t even get that far, TBH. I didn’t even try applying when I couldn’t find “appealing”(?) language.@kevinmarks - 2 more replies

@aral The categories are foreign to me. I don’t really understand what a Creator vs. a Blogger vs. an Apprentice is.@indiewebcamp -
@emmajanehw I’ve found the stratification to be a huge barrier of entry (literally). Made@laurakalbag not go to first one.+@indiewebcamp

@aral So I looked for something which looked like “me”, or described “me”, but I just found it to be about a diff community.@indiewebcamp -
@emmajanehw@aral This is helpful feedback. Thanks! /cc@indiewebcamp (http://aaron.pk/r4X_2 ) - End of conversation
