Decentralize.js? #5

Hey Feross,

I was thinking it would be good to have a small event about decentralization in JS. Would you be up for running it?

mikeal commented 10 years ago

@feross ^^ :)

feross commented 10 years ago

Yep, I can run this! It'll be great. Is there already a logo from previous decentralize.js events that we could use/adapt?

feross commented 10 years ago

I'm thinking it would be cool to do, roughly:

Everyone shares why they're interested in decentralization / p2p / what projects they are working on
Talk about webrtc and maybe show a simple demo of building an app with it
Brainstorm what problems we can solve with webrtc and p2p in JS
Free-form discussion about whatever people are interesting in talking about
Break out into hacking

@mikeal What do you think? Suggestions?

mikeal commented 10 years ago

That sounds great :) What kind of setup would you like for the venue?

feross commented 10 years ago

@mikeal - Do you think it would be cool to have actual speakers, in addition to the ad-hoc stuff I mentioned above?

I was thinking:

Dominic Tarr, Secure Scuttlebutt
Feross Aboukhadijeh, WebTorrent
Juan Batiz-Benet, IPFS
Mathias Buus, Peerflix
Daniel Posch, Scramble.io, or State of browser crypto

And maybe...

Substack, PeerMaps (has there been progress?)
someone who knows about cryptocurrency?
someone who knows about different p2p topologies?
someone from BitTorrent Inc.?

I think it would be. But, to give you an idea of some of the time constraints, if you want more discussion time then speaker time you're going to want to stick to a single "act" (4 talks at 20 minutes each) before lunch.
