Thank you to all the community organizers who participated in #LOCALHOSTVan. We wrapped up with Van Hack Day where I saw some great demos. I am now at home about to fall on my face after 9 straight days of events… tomorrow is off. Later this week I will be doing follow up. Thanks again!

The livestream for @orga is up! Check it out in its scanned glory!

I'm at Our Networks today - excited!

Tomorrow is #LOCALHOSTVan hack day. We have the same 312 Main space as Our Networks, and will unconference, hack on personal projects, and share & demo.

There's a schedule for the day https://notes.commonscomputer.com/M5zCgWegQWKReRgMrIscPA?view

Thanks to Websim & Bluesky for support!

We made Vancouver energy a thing tonight at #LOCALHOSTVan

Thanks to everyone that came and brought their energy, thanks to the Osito crew for hosting with great food & drinks.

Thanks to the IETF for live approval of some RFCs

Doors for #LOCALHOSTVan Social open in an hour, 5:30pm at Osito, 390 W Hastings.

We'll start with some Vancouver energy - who are the people & groups locally? What do we want to work on together, beyond tech: art, music, science, food +++

Then @bnewbold.net from Bluesky will give an #ATProtocol presentation & we'll learn about the IETF. How can we build the Internet we want?

I'm totally energized from talking to Jesse Sugarman of Osito. Osito hosted [[Minimum Viable Demos]] and we'll be having the #LOCALHOSTVan Thursday social there.

I toured Jesse around [[Z-Space]] and we talked about the art / tech / music scene locally, and how we can support it and work together. Good vibes!
