3. IndieWeb Independent Web
4. http://blog.hupili.net/p--20130613-google-plus-block-gmail-age/ year Danger!! Random Birthday: 1/1/1999 <13 To: USA From: China …
5. The Lessons Learned • Input birthday carefully in the future • 1/1/1911? • 1/1/1980…. • We don’t provide service if age > 80? Unhappy experience between users and service providers. More real life cases: http://indiewebcamp.com/why
6. Fundamental Problem Not Indie Enough! Identity Data
7. Part1: Identity
8. Who am I? • https://github.com/hupili • https://twitter.com/hupili • … • http://hupili.net
9. Demo of IndieAuth Goal: login the wiki of indiewebcamp
12. SOMETHING happens
13. SOMETHING happens
14. Setup IndieAuth Hupili.net indieauth.com <a rel=me href=github.com/hupili <a rel=me href=hupili.net Identity Provider Identity Verifier
17. “SMOETHING” – Part 1 Hupili.net indieauth.com 1. Login request; Go to IndieAuth 2. Login as hupili.net 3. Scan: verifier delegation 4. 6. Select verifier 5. Scan
18. “SMOETHING” – Part 2 Hupili.net indieauth.com 7. Normal OAuth Flow 7. Login Token 7. Login Token
19. Comparison • OAuth: 3 party • OpenID: 4 party • IndieAuth: • 5 party • rel=me is easier to setup • more auth choices OpenID OAuth WebFinger Persona
20. ID Provider / Verifier Decoupling Benefit of decoupling: • No (less) risk of losing identity • Can delegate to other verifier
21. More on IndieAuth • IndieAuth is the bridge between ID provider and ID verifier • Can host in one: ID provider, ID verifier, the bridge! → 3 party model.
22. Part2: Data
23. Levels of Objectives • No data (texts, images, etc.) loss • Able to disseminate • Able to collect • Able to normalize • Data with proper copyright • Well structured data for post-processing
24. Self-hosted Silos Wordpress Drupal idno elgg Q: Information Dissemination? Q: Information Acquisition? Posting alone is not interesting!
25. Current syndication models • (P1) POSSE: Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere • (P2) PESOS: Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site • (P3) PESETAS: Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate Everything To A Silo http://indiewebcamp.com/syndication-models
26. Visualization (P1) POSSE (P2) PESOS (P3) PESETAS
27. Current Landscape (P1) POSSE: a dozen of reports (P2) PESOS: two reports (P3) PESETAS: no reports Everyone has his/her own implementation! See the projects: • http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE • http://indiewebcamp.com/PESOS • http://indiewebcamp.com/PESETAS
28. pip install snsapi Python module Social Networking Middleware git clone git@github.com:hupili/snsapi
29. https://github.com/hupili/snsapi User-oriented Light-weight Up and run Unified interface Unified data structure Programmable social networking
30. SNSAPI Snippet – Auto Backup Same for all!
31. The Conceptual Architecture
32. SNSAPI -- Demo • Record: http://asciinema.org/a/5970 • Sagemath cloud: https://cloud.sagemath. com/ • A one-liner: • https://gist.github.com/hupili/7020251/

38. Less Geeky Applications SNSGui Linux, Windows, Mac SNSDroid Android Both contributed by https://github.com/iptux
39. SNSAPI Roadmap • Stage 1: Multi-platform support -- migration to IndieWeb without loss of social links. • Stage 2: Ad-hoc decentralized community ◦ RSS ◦ Email ◦ Micro-format (to be added)
40. Example of micro-format • Profile: hCard. • Micro-format • Human-readable • vCard

42. Part3: Reflections & Looking Forward
43. Spirits • Develop for yourself • Face the reality • Incremental Approaches • Lightweight • Hackathon
44. Openness • Willing to share • Willing to accept • Constructive discussions • No “right” approach • Only “workable” solution
45. Geo-distribution (IRC Timezone) Most US and Europe http://indiewebcamp.com/IRC-people
46. Objective Revisited • I’m also new to IndieWeb • Find people to explore together
