You're Invited: Grab a Virtual Beer at the DWeb Meetup 🍻

Free to grab a virtual beer with us at the DWeb Meetup?

Dear Friends, Remember when you'd swing by the Internet Archive, grab a slice and meet new folks interested in learning something new? People on fire about building a better web?

So do we. And we miss you! 

So on Wednesday, June 24 at 9:30 AM Pacific time  (that's 11:30 AM in Austin / 12:30 PM in Boston / 1:30 PM in Sao Paulo / 5:30 PM in London / 6:30 PM Prague-Berlin / 9:30 PM in Perm) we're trying something new. Join us in the new WebRTC-fueled platform Gather.town, for the June DWeb Meetup: "The State of the Decentralized Web."

The first 30 minutes we will explore the (virtual) beach, the bar and meet new friends.

Then at 10 AM Pacific, head to the auditorium for some new insights into the state of the Decentralized Web Ecosystem.

We'll hear from the authors of two new reports:

SPEAKERS: "Decentralization Off the Shelf" Author: Karissa McKelvey, who researches technical architecture design and its impact on usability, safety, and resilience. Previously, she led user and developer experience for dat and hypercore, a decentralized data sharing tool and peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol.

Design Clinic by Eileen Wagner, who advises teams and organizations on UX design and research at Simply Secure. Her focus is on information architecture, content strategy, and interaction design--or anything that helps people make sense of complex technologies.

"Decentralized Web Developer Report 2020" Author Anna Lekanova, who leads community building at Fluence, a peer-to-peer computing protocol & a software licensing system.

At the Dweb Meetup, Decentralization Off the Shelf (hosted by Simply Secure) will be inviting decentralized applications to a free user experience clinic. We invite everyone - from early-stage prototypes to already-launched projects - to submit a request for free help during the meetup. We will select up to 5 participants to highlight during the event, helping their project better succeed as well as providing a learning opportunity for everyone else!
