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.
Born from the Collaborative Technology Alliance (CTA) and a growing coalition of researchers, builders, and community leaders, OpenHaven translates complex protocol research into something legible, actionable, and shareable. OpenHaven's mission is making the open protocol landscape interoperable and interact-able — navigable by the people who need it — informed by the understanding that technical convergence depends on social convergence. Not just mapping the technology, but building the tent — giving the movement a collective voice, a shared home, and tools — including machine-readable context and prompt generation for AI-assisted workflows — that lower the barrier to understanding and adoption.
OpenHaven serves three interconnected audiences: community leaders seeking tools to solve real coordination problems, builders and researchers seeking convergence and network effects across fragmented efforts, and coalition organizations (e.g. CTA, DWeb) needing a shared evidence base to weave their convergence work together. For all three, OpenHaven is a hub they are proud to share — because it demonstrates tangible progress toward foundational infrastructure for humanity's coordination challenges.
Thanks for your consideration!
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.
