Next Thurs: A New Portal for the Decentralized Web 💥
A New Way to find Resources, Allies & Events in the DWeb
For a long time, we've felt that the growing, diverse, global community interested in building the Decentralized Web needed an entry point. A portal into the events, concepts, voices, and resources critical to moving the Decentralized Web forward. Then at DWeb Camp 2019, designer Iryna Nezhynska of Jolocom led a workshop to imagine what form that portal should take. Over the next 18 months, Iryna steered a dedicated group of DWeb volunteers through a process to create a new entryway into the Decentralized Web.
If you are new to the DWeb, it should help you learn about its core concepts. If you are a seasoned coder, it should point you to opportunities nearby. For our nine local nodes, it should be a clearinghouse and archive for past and future events. Above all, the new website should clearly state the principles we believe in as a community, the values we are trying to embed right into the code. Welcome to getdweb.net! Join us on Thursday, February 18 at 10 a.m. pacific (6 PM UTC) for the DWeb Meetup: A New Portal for the Decentralized Web. Iryna Nezhynska will take you on a tour of the new website and the design concepts that support it. For anyone building a new website, we'll show you how a great designer approaches brand, identity, function and design. Then John Ryan and Mai Ishikawa Sutton will share the first public version of the Principles of the DWeb, developed in consultation with dozens of community members. You'll have a chance to debate, discuss and dive in to these principles in small groups. These DWeb Principles are a starting point, not an end point--open for iteration. Then we'll head over to Gather.town for some casual networking and socializing. Come join us for some visual and values-driven inspiration!
