Tantek Çelik
His site is tantek.com
He's been hosting notes on his own site since 2010 exclusively...on his own site first....No content to Twitter as an origin since '09
Been posting pictures, events, RSVP
Shows RSVP
tantek demonstrates how his RSVP went to the Indieweb 2017 Austin page
Been documenting his 'shame' at not iterating fast enough on the wiki
Has a long list
See Falcon in Wiki
Something he got working recently was a payment page so people could pay him
tantek.com/pay
wonders if it has been used extensively
tantek.com/request is the reverse option...asking for money
tantek is really interested in hearing about new and interesting ways to use your website instead of other sites

Marty McGuire

schmarty, aka Marty McGuire on deck
schmarty tries to post everything to his site first
He uses OwnYourSwarm to do checkins. Hosts events, duck faces, etc
Host of the This Week in the Indieweb audio edition
Uses a tool he created to post audio via Micropub
Working now on making tools to make it easier, as he uses a static site generator
Static sites make dynamic things harder to do

Aaron Parecki

Posts all sorts of stuff to his website, like tantek. Point of no new content on other sites
Last thing he did was adding icons to the bottom of his site to show other sites he is linked to. Uses an icon font
He has two Twitter accounts, so there are two Twitter icons
Builds a lot of tools for helping other people
Created Own Your Swarm and Own Your Gram to pull back content from these services to your site over Micropub
Created Quill to post notes and other content
