REMINDER: DWeb Meetup Bay Area—Tuesday, Feb 11
REMINDER: DWeb Bay Area Meetup on Decentralized, Local-First Solutions—This Tuesday, February 11
Bay Area DWeb Friends,
Need a friendly community to accelerate your tech knowledge? A place where people with aligned values come together to share, collaborate and learn? Then join us this Tuesday, February 11, 6PM - 9PM at the Internet Archive HQ in SF, for dinner, networking, and demos! We'll be focusing on local-first technology, where data stays on users’ devices rather than relying on cloud infrastructure. Come try your hands at new projects including TinySSB, Basic.tech, and Bubble.
What to Expect: - Talks on decentralized architectures, edge computing, and peer-to-peer networks - Demos of local-first apps, offline-first databases, and self-hosted alternatives - Discussions on privacy-first principles, self-sovereignty, and reducing dependency on solutions that hold all the control - Networking with like-minded tech professionals & open-source contributors
Hope to see you there!
📍 Location: Internet Archive, 300 Funston Avenue, San Francisco 📅 Date & Time: Tuesday, February 11, 2025, 6-9 PM
KEY SPEAKERS
We’ll hear from Rashid Aziz and Abhi CVK, founders of Basic.tech. Rashid and Abhi are ex-YC founders who met 10 years ago during undergrad, and are back to work on their third startup together. We’ll also hear from Christian Tschudin is a professor in Computer Science at the University of Basel, Switzerland. He graduaded in math before doing a PhD in computer science at the University of Geneva on dynamically composed protocol stacks and active networking. After a PostDoc at ICSI (Berkeley) he had a tenured position at Uppsala University in Sweden. His research interests have been in packet dynamics (chemically inspired networking protocols), content-centric networking, specifically Named Function Networking, and more recently on minimalistic replication-based alternatives to the Internet. His current research project is on "unstoppable computing" which is another word for "cypherpunk for code execution".
