Carnival of IndieWeb June 2023 Edition - IndieWeb and Cooking

by

Edit 6th of July 2023: This instance of the IndieWeb carnival has finished. See all the submissions on the roundup post. The next month carnival is hosted by James on the topic of Moments of Joy.

Why Carnival

Yesterday at the Hombrew meeting Europe/London, we also touched on the topic of getting ideas for writing. So I brought up the idea of blogging carnivals and asked why we are not having them.

And they it was suggested that I should just start one. So I will use this as a test run to see if there is any interest in it.

Basically, what this means that each month, there would be somebody coming up with the topic connected to IndieWeb and the rest of the people coming up with some sort of post on this topic.

This Month Topic: IndieWeb and Cooking

Is there a cooking project, that had been steaming in you mind for a while? Do you want to roast somebody, when you see how they are mistreating the cooking on their website? Do you boil with excitement about some IndieWeb related exampled connected with cooking? Do you just want to cut through procrastination and use this as a seasoning to your posting?

This month topic is IndieWeb and cooking. Feel free to to use this topic in any way you want. Do you just want to post something on your personal side related to cooking? Or maybe you want to go more meta and talk about fusion of IndieWeb and cooking - as it how cooking is expressed in the personal sites.

I know I am most likely butchering the English language with cooking related words, but since I am not a native speaker of it, I won't apologise for mincing and dicing it.

If this is not specific enough of a prompt, here I am also sharing some ideas in what kind of direction you can take this:

  • Share the recipe with your favourite/latest food and the story behind it - personal or otherwise
  • Share how do you approach generally your food and cooking
  • Share with us the log of what you have eaten for the whole week
  • Share some exciting examples of how you or other places on the web are treating cooking
  • Share what you find missing - is there a topic or a way of discussion about cooking, that you think is missing for personal websites or something that people are ignoring, when they should not
  • Share some cool piece of software, that is connected to both cooking and IndieWeb (or talk about what kind of piece of software would you like to see)
  • Share some info about the specifications surrounding the cooking data on personal websites

Though if anybody ends up doing and interactive fiction on their website related to how an accountant is cooking to books and tries to get away with it... it is technically connected to IndieWeb and cooking, so I will accept it. (It would also be cool, if anybody did this)

I am looking forward to the soup of different submissions.

The Rules for this Iteration

This is just a tasting to see, if people will like the flavour of this kind of interaction. But let try to set some ground rules and lets see if (dietary) restrictions might unleash some more creative mixtures.

For the submission to be valid, it would need to be posted in the June of 2023. In case the date is not visible, I will assume good fate and that qualify. This is mostly to kick people in maybe creating something new.

The deadline for the submissions in the last day of June (so 30th of June) end of day. As long as it is 30th of June somewhere, I will count it (will most likely also include entries that come a day or two late).

I will accept submission in any kind of media format - so feel free to submit blog posts, notes, wiki pages, pictures, drawings, comics, visualisations, podcasts, videos, games, data analysis, feature on their websites, code, and I have probably forgot some of them. I will also accept submissions in any language.

I will ask for the submission to be on the link, where the material will be accessible the beginning of next month. I know there are some members of the IndieWeb community playing around with streaming - but I will only accept the streams on this topic, if it is assessable async later.

I am accepting the submissions either as a webmention to this post or through the email: sarajaksa@sarajaksa.eu.

Conclusion

Please talk to me about any questions you would have regarding this.

I am open for any kind of suggestions in how to make this entire process better.

I would also be interested, if anybody else would be interesting in hosting it next or any later month.

I have also created a page on the IndieWeb wiki.
