I should probably use some tags #DWebCamp or #DWebCamp2024
I’ll see about making a feed.
Made it to the @archive.org building. Lovely dinner and a tour that I’ll write up later.
Now, rest, and tomorrow we drive to Camp Navarro.
Breakfast sandwich & a cappuccino at Joy’s Place in downtown SF, which has an Instagram friendly green wall. Pretty good!
For #DWebCamp I set up a HedgeDoc instance. It’s meant to be a default spot for notes, sharing, & collaboration.
I just finished Robin Sloan’s Sourdough, so I made a /books page dweb.camp/books
On theme for some of the d-food topics at camp this year.
HedgeDoc 1.x has a number of down sides — root page isn’t customizable, can’t easily show lists of all notes, very much a centralized app (although open source & self-hosted).
But it’s very solid for synchronous, collaborative markdown editing.

I talked to the #DWebCamp network team a bit last night. It’s only a 50Mbps back haul network from camp, so it’s best if things run locally, on the local wifi network.
So…I might try and dump the database and install locally.
Stopped in Boonville. BLT + sweet potato fries + cappuccino + Yerba mate from Boonville General Store Cafe Bakery Deli omaps.app/8jmo6metzx/B...
And cool yarn paintings!
#DWebCamp
Helped setup camp with volunteers, did a walk through of the grounds with Wendy, and woke up early today.
A full build day today and we welcome everyone tomorrow afternoon.
#DWebCamp
So this is Nitro Coffee which is heated and will be on tap all day.
I like this invention.
#DWebCamp
A day of setup. I helped out with Redwood Cathedral and Tea Tent.
Checking sightlines and signage as you come into Redwood.
Did a test decoration of my notebook for the event.
Secret animal sticker! Find your animal friends at the event.
And amazing “stamp” stickers by Ira!
#DWebCamp
Opening ceremony practice run through.
Mai and @iandavis.id in the amphitheater.

LX suggested that our notebooks might be considered commonplace books en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonp...

Yesterday: Opening ceremonies, +400 people in camp, back to my cabin at midnight because of late night chatting - Georgism & Pawnbroker 3.0.
Friends old & new over breakfast. Thanks for letting me know if you came to #DWebCamp because of me talking about it!
The original #AndyFace which I have pretty much adopted when taking selfies
@termie.bsky.social
I met Norm from USBCLUB usb.club ! (Groot, the emotional support branch, not pictured)
We should do more with this with #DWebCamp crews
The “Good” Caitlyn from Filecoin, supporting TRANSFER Archive and missing Kelani kelaninichole.com

A short guy and two tall guys (it’s me, I’m the short guy), Riba and Adrian

The Parking Lot for Emergent Day #DWebCamp is filling out. I’m super stoked about some of the creative usage.

Marie talks about Drip App, the menstrual cycle tracking app dripapp.org - data on device, secure, private, and exportable.
What would it look like for local first / DWeb protocols to improve on this? And not make Marie do the work.
#DWebCamp
One of my cabin roomies also brought a Daylight Computer Tablet along.
Come see Mek or me if you want to try it.
The team is interested in making the hardware be DWeb friendly (really!)
It’s Android Open Source today with one first party reader app.
#DWebCamp
Day Two #DWebCamp
Today I’m sitting in the Amphitheater which is mainly all open social protocols.
Started with @ronent.bsky.social presenting on nano publishing, FAIR, Semantic Web to upgrade plain social posts
Next talk by @rabble.nz @npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240.momostr.pink.ap.brid.gy about Nostr but also the whole history of social is fire 🔥
#DWebCamp
Last night was PowerPoint karaoke. Has me inspired to organize some in Vancouver.
Today is Emergent Day that I was helping lead. Felt pretty rough this morning scheduling.
#DWebCamp
Eric is a Holochain builder, talking about licensing and open source capture.
#DWebCamp
Learned about Nostr relays from Nos nos.social
Oh! They’re like a mix of a moderator and a custom feed. Very interesting!
#DWebCamp
Larry wanted to take my picture because he liked my alien cat t-shirt (and then sent it to me)
Yep! It’s one of my favourite shirts!
#DWebCamp
In a metaverse talk, and they’re bringing up Ocap for metaverse 3d / standards! Very cool!
#DWebCamp
Last night was closing ceremony, old guys talk, and then I joined the silent disco until late.
#DWebCamp
@iandavis.id and a few others.
Today the bus took everyone away at 11am, leaving about 80 volunteers, fellows, and other helpers to break down the camp.
I volunteered to cook dinner with a great crew.
We prepped & cooked the meal all afternoon. Hunter did a great job, here he is cooking the chicken larb I made.
