Announcements
This week, several Fissioneers and friends took the train to St. Louis to attend the final 😭 Strange Loop Conference. Fission co-founder and CTO Brooklyn Zelenka is giving a talk on IPVM, and Staff Research Engineer Zeeshan Lakhani is co-running the Papers We Love speaker track.
Following Strange Loop is the Local-First Software Unconference on Saturday the 23rd. We're bringing together people actively working on local-first projects - building frameworks or tools, developing local-first apps, or researching the area - and those who are curious and want to learn more. Thank you to DXOS and Ink & Switch for sponsoring this event with us!
Tickets are on sale for IPFS Connect Istanbul! Do you want to give a talk at the event? Submit an idea to the CFP! Interested in sponsoring? Email us at events@fission.codes.
Upcoming Events
Secure/Design Community Call
The Secure / Design community aims to establish:
- A set of principles to guide secure design practices
- Heuristics to evaluate whether those principles are being upheld
- 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.

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.
