mai: Brief recap / report-back of dWeb camp: It was a three-day (but really a week long) event at a mushroom farm south of pescadaro. Brought around 400 people to this outdoors space where people camped out and talked about what the future of a decentralized web would look like. These terms are very broad and also broad in the kinds of people that they brought. People working on everything from new blockchain tech, community physical networks, decentralized storage, decentralized social networks like scuttlebutt. People who are interested in technology who are thinking of it in terms of community building and also how to integrate it with ? and how it relates to our brains and bodies. Breathwork, yoga, art, honey, mushroom innoculation, sitting around campfires. Lots of lightning talks.

Broad range of people. | ||
* Dinesh: It was great but so many things, so missed most of it. The idea of dWeb was very broad. Not just technology. Good representation of people. Not so subtle theme: Corporations are taking over. Felt like we are maybe going in the right direction and looking at how technology can help people who aren't necessarily educated without asking "what are their qualitifications". | |||
* kevin: I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. Which I enjoyed because I got to know people who were on the farm as opposed to attendees and get their perspective. it was surprising to see that people knew a lot. One of the chefs was talking about proof of work and proof of stake which he knew about because of bitcoin. How people defined community there: i talked to a woman and wondered why was there such an emphasis on community (looking at the talks going on) she was thinking of networks like facebook "we don't like those anymore". But here "community" was used in the sense of people taking care of each other, instead of superficial networks. I felt like people were more interested in each-other as humans as opposed to "what's your title, what's your profession". More about human questions. | |||
* jenny: like one long teen slumber party. | |||
* kevin: yeah like a slumber party. went to a poetry reading in the dark. a community of care. | |||
* ben (toronto): there are some common threads between people building their own community networks and people building p2p tech and this conference brought the two together. both have the potential for retaining local economic value and talent. I think there is currently a gap between a lot of the dweb tech and communication networks where the infrastructures and apps are built by people far away from the local community, thus even though the tech layer is "decentralized" the knowledge and economic relationships still extract from a community. | |||
* ben: ben(toronto) designed this really cool network on site using espressobin. | |||
* dinesh: curious about how it was built | |||
* ben (toronto): i will write a blog post. briefly, there is a script that configures an sd card that has the OS then this is plugged into an espressobin. | |||
* mai: someone's project is to resuccitate the old geocities site (neocities) | |||
* ben (toronto): kyle is the person who runs neocities and he did a project where he took archived geocities sites and hosted them on a local network | |||
* jenny: lots of camp fires, walks on the beach. really good to meet some scuttlebutt folks again, meet new community network folks and folks I already knew | |||
