@adz of the panda gang is co-organizing the DWeb Seminar next week (August 13 - 15) at the @internetarchive in San Francisco. It will be a gathering of researchers and developers around various peer-to-peer projects to reflect over the last years of building p2p systems and formulating ideas for the future.

During the DWeb Weekend (August 16 - 17) workshops and presentations are planned, including one on p2panda! Come if you are in this area!

Christian, Wendy, kev, nanomonkey, Dmitri and me organised this event here over the last months and finally it is happening next week at the @internetarchive in SF!

The idea is to bring people together to reflect about the last years of building peer-to-peer software and formulate ideas for the future.

* DWeb Seminar, August 13 - 15: we've invited ten researchers and developers from different p2p projects to come, cook and live together, share learnings and formulate a publication
* DWeb Weekend, August 16 - 17: Public days full of roundtable discussions, workshops, presentations and demos

Come and join us if you can! For Sunday we still have free slots for your talks and workshops.

In less than 2 weeks I'll be participating in the first DWeb Seminar in San Francisco on behalf of @spritely! I'm grateful for the invitation and excited to meet a lot of p2p people for the first time.

Following the seminar is DWeb Weekend at the Internet Archive that is open to the public, so come on by if you're in the area! I can show and tell about all sorts of Spritely things on Demo Day.

As a human rights organization, we prefer not to put our important data on Amazon's S3, Google Drive, or Dropbox.

Instead, we've been investigating alternatives like
@ipfs, privately-hosted S3, and other distributed storage ideas. #decentralization #dweb

I added to a list of design and technology podcasts and independent magazines here: see what people who are building an independent internet and liberatory tech are reading and listening to:

What happened to participatory #democracy platforms?

The mighty Hugi Asgeirsson has a theory: the developers that, in ages past, had worked on such platforms have split along ideological faultlines and focused on the Decentralized Web instead. As they embed their values into the artifacts they build, they also make them less interoperable.

In a way, participatory democracy platform were a feature of the multilateral, globalized world now on its deathbed.
