Celebrating local-first software, DWeb, software builders, and trains!

Local-First Software Unconference
On Saturday, September 23, 2023, immediately following the Strange Loop conference, we are holding an unconference-style community event for everybody interested in local-first software in St. Louis, MO.
We want to bring together people actively working on local-first projects — building frameworks or tools, developing local-first apps, or researching the area. But we also welcome curious people who want to learn more about the topic.
Thank you to Ink & Switch and DXOS for sponsoring the event with us.
September 23rd at 10 AM

Secure/Design Community Call
The Secure / Design community aims to establish:
1. A set of principles to guide secure design practices
2. Heuristics to evaluate whether those principles are being upheld
3. UX patterns and best practices to make upholding the principles a bit easier for the protocols, platforms, and products that folks rely upon every day.
Current focus: improving authorization and signing flows.
September 26th at 8 AM PDT / 11 AM EDT
IPVM Community Call
The IPVM is an effort to add content-addressed computation to IPFS. This requires specifying calling conventions, distributed scheduling, session receipts, mobile computing, and auto-upgradable IPFS internals.
This community call is open to all but is focused on implementers, following the IETF's rough "consensus and running code" ethos.
September 27th at 9 AM PDT / 12 PM EDT
UCAN Community Call
The UCAN Community Call is a monthly recurring time for library implementers, spec maintainers, and users to coordinate, share learnings, and ask questions.
September 28th at 9 AM PDT / 12 PM EDT
