Portland Holochain Meetup

Details
Join Michael Dougherty, lead developer on Holochain Core and Eric Bear, Director of Ecosystem Growth to connect with other local distributed systems lovers and learn about and play with Holochain, an open source, peer to peer framework for building fully distributed, scalable apps. It's not a blockchain. : )

Come and learn about how Holochain's focus on emergence - a bottom-up social impact strategy - can lead to exponential levels of sense-making, self-organisation and adaptability, the capacities humanity needs in the face of existential risks.

Who's it for?
This event is for anyone interested in learning more about Holochain, distributed applications, and the world made possible when people connect directly without the stronghold of powerful centralized institutions.
We welcome community organizers, developers, entrepreneurs, academics, and activists to discuss Holochain as one of the tools to build the next net, one that fosters decentralized coordination at all scales.
Children are also welcome.

Agenda
We'll will begin by briefly introducing ourselves to learn what everyone's coming for, then get into a brief introduction to Holochain tailored to the interest of the group, and then break out into smaller groups to do demos, play with code, discuss the architecture, and get to know each other and maybe play some games.
