      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 …

      @aral I don’t really understand from that site why I’d want to come. Maybe that’s part of it? Mostly an insider’s club ATM? @indiewebcamp

      @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 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 @kevinmarks Perhaps instead of closed by default/find ‘creator’ to open, open by default, learn, then maybe sign up as last step

          @aral under “Apprentice” it also says I have to find someone to add me. How? Again: insider club feeling. @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
