Sessions
Opening Ceremony: Join us as we gather as a community for the first time, highlighting a series of powerful stories of our decentralized tools at work.
The original goal of the DWeb principles was to distinguish our ideals against the behaviors of many centralized web projects and firms then, as now, pursuing excessive wealth, or engaged in unethical and criminal endeavors. We always wanted these principles to live and evolve.
And today, we ask: how can we re-imagine these principles as a way of determining where we collectively want DWeb, a movement and an ideal, to go? And what do we want DWeb to be?
Hosted by Liz Barry and mai ishikawa sutton.
Liz will share parts of UC Boulder Professor and MedLab leader Nathan Schneider's forthcoming book about the deep roots of protocols that generated today's institutions and how you can work with protocols to create the institutions of the future.
mai will also share some writing, then open the floor to others to read aloud their own writings or share other pieces that they love and want to share.
A conversation with staff from the Internet Archive.
Closing Circle: join us in the Universal Access Amphitheater as we gather as a community for the last time.
