 * Andrea: Configure authentication system - how to improve indieauth with a browser plugin, email, Mozilla Persona, or something like that

Dinner and epilogue

At 9pm we walked together from Casa Independente to closeby RDA 69, where we had a nice vegan dinner at the collaborative kitchen, and continued talking about computer science. :)

We had an interesting epliogue discussion when Eva ran into a fellow photographer, who immediately asked her if she had a website. To which she could answer "yes, since two hours". :)

However, since he was using http://cargocollective.com/, he was able to easily publish his photos in a nice way, and it became clear that for Eva to have that same user experience, she needs not only a website, but also a photo gallery tool like http://www.mediagoblin.org/. Having just a website is not enough, because it still requires knowledge of html and ftp.

IndieWeb is really in its "Homebrew" days! :)

Next Homebrew Website Club Lisbon will be in two weeks, on 29 October. We realized we're out of sync with the other HWC chapters, not only by timezone, but also by the biweek-phase on which we got started. :)
