DWeb Camp 2026

Day Waterbury

What gives my life meaning is to serve and protect the living earth and her people. My mission is to equip the regenerative movement at scale at the pace of the polycrisis, connecting place-based systems change initiatives with trust-based funding, and empowering a global network of networks with tools for coordination. I truly believe that for our species to thrive we need to maximize the number of us who are fully prepared and resourced to contribute collaboratively to co-create a regenerative unfolding. I don't think of this as political, but rather the rational pursuit of my aspirations on behalf of humanity and the greater blossoming of consciousness in the cosmos.

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.

OpenHaven for P2P Convergence
Day Waterbury

I'd like to do a session on OpenHaven.net. Probably just a lightning talk with Q&A, but it could be a longer workshop-type session if we had the right people there (i.e. builders and maintainers of the protocols in the matrix).

OpenHaven is a community-led, data-driven convergence navigator for the peer-to-peer (P2P) and decentralized protocol landscape that makes it visible, navigable, and directly actionable — including for AI-assisted development workflows. It replaces the current single-page openhaven.net with a live, data-driven website that serves as both a navigable guide to open protocols and a collective voice for the people building and using them.
