| Topic | Neighborhood Fileshare: Explore file storage systems on a local network |
| Description | This session will start with unpacking what it means to store files on a local network, learn how data flows in distributed file storages systems such as Dat and IPFS, then discuss use cases. There will be hands-on workshops where we will build a system to send files over a pair of wireless radios, and casual discussion sessions on ownership and control of these tools. |
| Hopes & dreams | Identify communities among participants that may find this useful and explore local use opportunities |
| Core facilitators | @benhylau, Pam (People's Open) |
| Main contact | ben@example.com |
| Participation | Anyone can participate, especially people who find this useful in their local community. Not appropriate for children under the age of 12. We'd also love if someone can help video/document the sessions as it is a unique opportunity to share our many different perspectives. |
| Why participate | If you are interested in community ownership and governance of digital infrastructures, or running local services on a mesh network, this session is for you! |
