What's up (a more complete description)
A lot of exciting things have been happening in IPFS Land. Our talks at the Decentralized Web summit (http://www.decentralizedweb.net/) give a good insight into that, what with js-ipfs (https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs) being released, and IPFS now working on the browser; Orbit (https://github.com/haadcode/orbit) as a great example of an app running on js-ipfs; the idea of IPFS Internet Archives and using IPFS for Permanent Data Storage becoming more well known; and libp2p (https://github.com/libp2p) as a project itself gaining traction.
Let’s tap into all of the momentum that has been building behind IPFS over the past couple months and get together to chart the course for IPFS into Q3 and Beyond. There’s lots to demo, lots to talk about and discuss, lots to hack on, and most importantly lots to celebrate! 🎉
Anyone regularly attending or keeping track of our weekly sprints knows that the common theme has been closing out Q2. As things are drawing to a close on this chapter of the year, let’s take this energy and work together at a two day IPFS Workshop in Lisbon!
IPFS Workshop: Q3 and Beyond July 25 - 26
Apologies for the short notice. We noticed a lot of our community getting pulled to hang out in Lisbon , so we decided to do something (bigger than a meet up) together!
What it is: We’ve been identifying the big things that we want to tackle for the upcoming quarter, and will be having some per-project sessions beforehand, open to people interested in voicing needs, so that we can go into this workshop with a laundry list of dependencies, blockers, and features that need to be addressed in Q3. We will spend time during the workshop determining the best strategy to meet those needs, address and hack through any known blockers, and put together the road mapping strategy for IPFS, go-ipfs, js-ipfs, and other related sub-projects.
