Had an amazing dream where I met the indie creators of a video I absolutely loved as a kid at a conference for Indie game developers in a cool place in a cool city. The catch: I invented the whole thing; the game does not exist, neither did the developers or the location. If we let it, our brain is more powerful than anything .

Agenda - Dat Conference 2020

Dat is a community ecosystem of peer-to-peer projects. They build on a shared set of technologies called the Hypercore protocol.

In this first, virtual Dat conference, we want to connect people involved in the community and in the surrounding space. We’ll provide the infrastructure, a website and a schedule, and we’ll try to assist with technical needs for special sessions.

However, filling this space will be up to all of you, the participants! If you want to do introductions and presentations there will be a channel dedicated just for showing looped, pre-recorded videos. For the actual conference, we’re looking for all kinds of ideas such as sessions on how to foster collaboration, inclusiveness and knowledge sharing, thoughts on experimentation and other discussions. Potential formats could include workshops, technical deep dives, VR meetups, collaborative livecoding - be creative!

Let’s share our approaches and talk about the present and the future of local-first technology and applications.

DWeb Meetup: 2020—The State of the Decentralized Web

How can decentralized protocols scale? What are the roadblock issues? 2 groups share new reports with key ways your project can move forward

Location: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dweb-meetup-2020the-state-of-the-decentralized-web-tickets-109884774318

Time Zone: Europe/Berlin (GMT +01:00)

About this Event

It's 2020 and the Decentralized Web has working code. Protocols used by dozens of projects. Projects employing 100+ developers. But if you zoom out, where is the DWeb Ecosystem as a whole? What will it take to scale to widespread audiences?

DWeb Meetup June brings you two new reports on decentralization and a free user experience design clinic, meant to bring the report's recommendations to life.

Plus, we're experimenting with a new meetup platform: Gather.town, using WebRTC to create a virtual gathering space complete with a beach, bar, auditorium and hang out spaces.

Check out these new reports:

Decentralization, off the shelf.

There is a significant gap between the protocols that define the decentralization space and the applications that users want to adopt. Through a series of interviews and focus groups with technology designers and builders, the authors have identified 7 areas where projects can improve their own practice; where targeted research is necessary; and where funders can enable collaborative innovations.

First read their research report: Decentralization Off the Shelf—7 Maxims

At the Dweb Meetup, Decentralization Off the Shelf (hosted by Simply Secure) will be inviting decentralized applications to a free user experience clinic. They are inviting everyone - from early-stage prototypes to already-launched projects - to submit a request for free help during the meetup. We will select up to 5 participants to highlight during the event, helping their project better succeed as well as providing a learning opportunity for everyone else!

Need user experience help?

If you’d like your project to be highlighted in the event, please fill out this brief survey and we will contact you with further details!

Hear from one of the report's authors, Karissa McKelvey, who researches technical architecture design and its impact on usability, safety, and resilience. Previously, she led user and developer experience for dat and hypercore, a decentralized data sharing tool and peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol.

Design Clinic by Eileen Wagner, who advises teams and organizations on UX design and research at Simply Secure. Her focus is on information architecture, content strategy, and interaction design--or anything that helps people make sense of complex technologies.

Researchers at Fluence surveyed 650 Decentralized Web developers for insights into ongoing progress, major hurdles and bumps along the road. Here's what they found:

At the DWeb Meetup, hear from one of the report's authors, Anna Lekanova, who leads community building at Fluence, a peer-to-peer computing protocol & a software licensing system.

Material 2020 — The Web as a material - Conference

20+ years of the Web and we are still at the very beginning of understanding and implementing digitization. For the first time we are facing a generation that never got to know the offline world. By nature they are riding the wave without ever having touched the ground. We might have unlearned our ancestors' knowledge about materials and crafts, it's easy to overlook the intrinsic characteristics of the Web in favour of the newest framework or boilerplate.

Let's re-explore the material Web and evaluate what we have learned so far. Join us in Reykjavik, Iceland, for a trip through history, views and cultures.
