I’m arriving on Nov 16th and will be heading out on the 22nd. @chadtmiller.com and I are staying at a hotel a couple of blocks away.
I’m at Sync Conf in SF this week and I see that Torsten has added to the Polis that he’d like to hear about local first and malleable software + ATProto (for those that don’t know, I work at Ink & Switch a Software Research lab that works in those areas).
With conference profiles and some ideas around Cosmik network, I’ve suggested multiple profiles and non-bsky social graphs as a polis topic - I have to get used to polis and just add a bunch more potential topics.
Thank you @bmann.ca for opening the topic here. I will be in Berlin from 17. to 19. and look forward to seeing you all.
We are still planning the office space, now we have 17 registrations “going” and some more “interested”. Currently we booked a room that can accommodate 10 to 12 persons. There will likely be more interest in the Berlin ATProto Meetup so we are going to switch to the bigger office at the same venue EDGE Grand Central.
Please leave your ideas, talking points, project ideas etc. in the polis link. We will most probably have the following structure for the day
00 welcome 10.30 we will have smaller groups for focused discussions and 12.00 reconvene and share results. The schedule is flexible of course. Please bring your ideas to it. Anything barcamp style goes.
I will prepare a hackmd / hedgedoc to collect results and I would also like to summarize our work in a leaflet doc at atberlin.leaflet.pub
Can send out draft links if you want to help writing this.
I’ll be there from midday, so I hope you’ll be there (any plans for lunch?). I’m just happy to listen, but fwiw the topics at the top of my mind right now are ensuring I’ve captured everything in the “ATproto adoption challenges" framework(TL:DR; I haven’t even come close); connecting “reading/thinking/writing stacks" sociallyvia multiple protocols’; and ATconnect.eu, which I’m presenting at eurosky wednesday along with some ideas of how newsrooms, scientific institutions and governments can make better use of Bluesky and the protocol.
Thanks a lot. I think there will be room for presentations as results of barcamp-style discussions that groups work on during the day. Planned start is at 10am and we can be there until 4pm but Liz told me that there will be some noise from building the stage for the main event starting at 2pm. So we keep the schedule flexible.
Please feel free to add topics you would like to discuss to the Polis. I also started a Hedgedoc.
We have not made any plans for lunch or dinner. Suggestions welcome. The day will be participants come-and-go as we haven’t ordered any catering. We have the very nice office 106 located on the 1st floor and we only have limited access chips, so all people coming and going makes it complicated with security for the private office area as we can’t keep the doors open, someone needs to always give access. Liz will try to provide us with more access chips if needed.
I’m landing at BER at 12:55, and will go directly to the venue. Looking forward to seeing you all!
I’ve looked through Polis, lots of interesting things there! Someone submitted a suggestion to discuss the relationship to Soild and the like. If anyone is inclined to discuss that, I would suggest waiting for @thisismissem.social and myself, since she did a lot of work on the DPoP and OAuth side, and I was the editor of the protocol spec and did some work on the private data stuff.
I didn’t end up making it out, between some MCAS stomach issues and something making me very angry, I just wasn’t in a social mood the past two days. Maybe next time, or in the following days if people want to venture out east.
As for Solid & AT Protocol, I see AT Protocol as the simpler successor that solves a lot of problems Solid had, especially around developer experience. I worked at Inrupt building the solid SDKs and trying to do all that whilst teaching people about RDF weirdness and linked data is an up-hill battle.
What will be interesting is if AT Protocol can find a way to do multiple repos per owner’s did & if it can do something like user-managed access (UMA). Obviously non-public repos can’t really use relay infrastructure though, which makes things complicated.
I’ll be around for the rest of the week until the 23rd
(any plans for lunch?). I’m just happy to listen, but fwiw the topics at the top of my mind right now are ensuring I’ve captured everything in the 
) now. Anyone wanna get together for a meal/drink this evening?
