2025

It would be great to organize an IndieWeb Summit 2025 if we are able to find a venue (possibly restarting in Portland, or nearby Seattle instead, or maybe another city/region like New York) and figure out what kind of health precautions would keep people reasonably safe, and set very clear expectations of what is expected of participants.
