Definitely will run sessions, potentially a demo if we have anything new and interesting to share
Sessions on:
  • identity
  • content migration
  • compensation/funding for builders
Daniel Supernault (@dansup@mastodon.social)
Yes, i would love to run a session about pixelfed, loops or sup

In the moment i don’t think so, but who knows what’s happening. if yes, then it’s related to rdf-pub.

Demo of castopod!

I could share a prototype i’ve been building for developing conflict resolution protocols.

Disputes and conflicts, legal issues, protocol design

Several fediforums ago i demonstrated an early version of piefed, which has matured greatly since then. i’d like to show where it’s at now.

Connecting accounts across networks/protocols aka bridging identity, part two
Julia Kamin
I was thinking of running a session to have a conversation about prosocial design and learn from folks steeped in the fediverse: what kinds of prosocial outcomes they have in mind as they develop digital spaces, what tools might they might ideally want to support their work, and how research might help them find solutions to challenges they are grappling with.

Business models to make the work of running decentralized servers, apps, and services sustainable - while still upholding prosocial values

I’d love to demo what i’ve been working on for frequency.app!
