Presenters tabling at Thursday's Demo Night Market are invited to gather on the Main Lawn to practice your pitches, hone your storytelling and receive feedback from mentors and peers.

We'll also test out equipment and internet connection, and ensure you feel ready to demo tomorrow!

Back by popular demand: the DWeb Demo Night Market -- a festive evening kick-off event where you can get a taste of tech from around the world, directly from the decentralized tech stack. We’re highlighting “ready to test” new tools, in a beautifully lit outdoor market, where you can grab a cocktail and wander through dozens of select projects demonstrating their latest breakthroughs.

In part, check out projects to help plan for what sessions to attend in the week ahead.

Take a look at some of the presenters from 2024's Demo Night: https://2024.dwebcamp.org/projects/

Open infrastructure runs the world but owns none of the money that funds it. Industry, regulators, and philanthropy each decide what open source gets, and open source sits at none of those tables. The Open Source Endowment is a community-governed fund built to change that: the people who build and depend on open source own the money and vote on how it's distributed. This talk invites you to explores why open infrastructure needs its own money to have a seat at the table, and what we're learning trying to build it.

How modern science gets funded, conducted, published, and preserved was never engineered, it emerged, and what emerged simply doesn't work anymore. This working session takes a real paper, breaks it into atoms, and walks those atoms through a proposed stack of DIDs, ATProto Lexicons, and IPFS. On this walk, we are foraging for the gaps in a technical substrate that enables persistent, atomic, compositional science.
