Namely, the open web. The Reclaim Open conference is all about that concept, and we want to capture it in as many meaningful and lasting ways as possible. We don\u2019t want this documentary to only capture Reclaim\u2019s thoughts on the open web, but to invite and include the amazing community joining us here to document their own perspectives and stories about this topic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I&#8217;m most looking forward to (many things)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is A LOT to look forward to&#8230; so in no particular order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I&#8217;m excited to see the student showcase of the winners of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bavatuesdays.com\/reclaim-opens-student-showcase\/\">Reclaim Student Competition<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.reclaimhosting.com\/reclaim-open-keynote-dr-bonnie-stewart\/\">opening keynote by Bonnie Stewart<\/a>, with the theme &#8220;Rewilding voice in a time of enclosure&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also on the plenary schedule is a panel hosted by Jim Groom &#8220;On Writing&#8221; and as an avid listener\/viewer of this series I am especially looking forward to that<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not to forget is the amazing artwork created by Bryan Mathers (including the images in this post) and seeing those come to live<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are a host of social sessions around the DS106 Daily Create, an Open Education board game and the intriguing sounding &#8220;An Archivist goes to the Playground &#8211; Exploring and Describing Chicago Park Playgrounds&#8221; as well as &#8220;Improvising the future of digital storytelling&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I am excited to read &#8220;My website is a junk drawer&#8221; and also &#8220;Lessons from Rewilding Landscapes&#8230; in the Wild&#8221; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, there is not much of the three days I am not looking forward to. And of course there&#8217;s also the people to connect with, to chat and share inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"947\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/marendeepwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/To-blog-and-to-own-your-blog.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5736\" style=\"width:300px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My session (is a blog post)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I am mainly working with the team delivering the conference I didn&#8217;t want to present live as well. Luckily the first day of the conference is in a new format, a blog-a-thon, and so I made a submission in the form of a blog post for that instead. If you are wondering what&#8217;s involved, here is <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.reclaimhosting.com\/reclaim-open-blog-a-thon\/\">an explainer<\/a> to get you started &#8211; but one of the joys of working with the team and trying out new things is that whilst we do have a plan, we don&#8217;t exactly know all the details up front and there&#8217;s a certain level of winging it involved \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I decided to submit a blog post about blogging (of course), specifically about blogging as a superpower in professional practice. My session will be on 4 November and you should check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vQrIhQ1rsaFhXEkHcOTR6nBSdH1x4zaoOP7zkvbCift8UpcTG-7axtw65A-lsCUCvpBB7eEVbmUW6Sc\/pubhtml?gid=290074675&amp;single=true&amp;ref=blog.reclaimhosting.com\">full schedule<\/a>&nbsp;to explore keynote speakers, as well as other presenters and bloggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join in!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/events.reclaimhosting.com\/event\/save-the-date-reclaim-open-2025\/?ref=blog.reclaimhosting.com\">Register now<\/a>&nbsp;to join in, November 4-6, as this wonderful community comes together on the open web, via federated social networks, on the radio and on a blog near you.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>This is one event you don\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2371\" height=\"1525\" src=\"https:\/\/marendeepwell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Conf-Banner.png\" alt=\"Reclaim Open Logo\n\" class=\"wp-image-5735\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s nearly time for Reclaim Open, and it&#8217;ll be my first time taking part in this special conference.
