For this series of get-togethers you are invited to come join us to
talk about new developments and personal experiences with peer-to-peer
(p2p) software. This group of technologies lets us build both local
and global networks that its participants own and operate themselves.
In our meetings we update each other about everything interesting that
has been happening recently in the field, discuss current developments
and offer a platform to showcase your cool p2p project or idea.
This series of events is explicitly not about cryptocurrencies for
which a huge number of events and places already exist. We are
especially interested in p2p tech as a way for people to do cool stuff
together without control from a commercial platform provider.
Join us in January to continue the conversation about how we can
find and organize events using p2p software. There will also be a
newsflash with updates from the p2p-world and room for discussion
of ux patterns in distributed software.
Eileen Wagner tells us about
the pattern library for distributed systems she is currently
developing. For the past months she has been interviewing people
and documenting their approaches to collect knowledge about how
to solve ux problems in distributed systems.
The Reclaim Club Culture network is preparing a Facebook-Exodus
in which Berlin's club and culture scene is mobilized to move
announcement of events off of Facebook and towards the
Fediverse. See Reclaim Club Culture's
Fibel
for an overview of their goals and values.
After a long break we meet again with two guests who are
presenting their current p2p projects.
Sarah Friend presents her
work at Circles UBI where
she is working on a basic income that is distributed by being
embedded in a digital currency.
Andreas Dzialocha
tells us about
p2panda, a new way to self-organise festivals, conferences and all
other kinds of events.
Recap
We returned to the
map of interesting p2p projects, which we sketched out in the first meeting. There was
particular interest in Scuttlebutt and Dat projects. A couple of
new projects were introduced that weren't on the map before:
cobox:
mobilizon: federated events platform. There is a
blog post
with info about the beta release.
