Hosting IndieWebCamp Sacramento and Calls for Co-Hosts

Hello, I'm Pablo Morales from Sacramento, California! I'm a participant in the IndieWeb.

What is the IndieWeb?

The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”.

It is a community of independent and personal websites connected by open standards and based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content.

I am volunteering to host and organize the first IndieWebCamp Sacramento (IWC). It is a great way to bring together your local IndieWeb community and people from the greater IndieWeb community. As the pandemic changed how we interact, online meet-ups have kept the IndieWeb going. It would be nice to meet many of the familiar faces we've seen through the last few years in person!

Organizing and planning an IndieWebCamp in person involves various parts such as finding co-organizers, planning where to have the event, and the many aspects of event planning.

I'm looking for a co-host or co-host. A co-host would be someone who could assist me in planning for a successful event. It can be someone local near Sacramento or someone who can assist remotely. Having a co-host would help in making the event come to fruition and have the event be successful.

IWC Dates:
The new plan is to host it during the fall or winter when the weather starts cooling off!

  • Late September
  • October
  • November
  • December

If you or someone else is interested in helping plan IndieWebCamp Sacramento, I'd love to have you! Send me an email by clicking here.

Let's have this last half of the year be full of fun events and one of those can be in Sacramento! If you are interested in attending, more information will be available soon!

Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate in the IndieWeb.

The Multilingualness of 'Call Me By Your Name'

This post was written in en

I've seen the movie, Call Me By Your Name featuring Arnie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet a few times since it came out. Not only is it a queer film which I love but a film that includes multilingual characters. What I melt inside of happiness when multiple languages are spoken in a movie. We hear English, Italian and French. One minute you hear French, then the same character will switch to English or Italian often times in the same scene. I find this very beautiful as someone who can speak multiple romantic languages. The code switching in my opinion is pretty good. Not to brag but it helps to know a few romantic languages to understand the others. I speak English, Spanish and French, fluently. I can for the most part understand Italian since there is so much cross over and there is so much cultural cross-context that I understand. I honestly turn off the subtitles when I watch this movie and others because I don't feel the need to see the translation. The movie is a lot more meaningful to me because I can understand the subtleties of the languages and how people express themselves in such languages.

Movies and TV shows that can switch between languages are so cool!
