[ianopolous]

G'day Everyone!

I'm Ian Preston, from Australia, but living in Oxford (UK). Today I had Vegemite on toast. :-)

I'm excited about making the web more secure and reliable with IPFS.

I'm looking forward to meeting more smart and fun people at IPFS camp and solving difficult problems!

I spend most of my time working on a private storage and social network on IPFS - Peergos. We've just launched our alpha!

[daviddias]

Hi everyone! I'll take the opportunity to introduce myself as well :D

I'm David Dias, originally from Lisbon Portugal, but been all over planet earth for the last 5~6 years. For breakfast I had a delicious Gemüsesandwich (thats a Vegetable Sandwich in German) and delicious black coffee!.

I'm psyched about IPFS as it is a fundamental building block, a protocol, to create powerful and distributed experiences for humans across the planet-wide nervous system that we call the “Internet”. Before IPFS, developing a P2P application implied having years of experience building networking applications, going deep on technical protocols and fighting complexity at every step on the way. Building with Centralized Infrastructure had exactly if not even more complex hurdles, then HTTP and all the conventions on how to build Web Applications came along and now, everything is so much more simple. HTTP was instrumental in powering multiple waves of applications and services over the last 2 decades. I believe that IPFS will do the same for the DWeb (Distributed Web).

For IPFS Camp I'm looking forward for Lazers and Space Travel! Ahaha we've been cooking up something special :D Also and most importantly, I can't wait to meet and learn from you all!

I've been building IPFS since 2015 and it is the number 1 thing I focus on 🚀

[roignpar]

Hi everyone!

I'm Robert Ignat, from Romania.

I had zacuscă for breakfast (there seems to be a veggie trend here).

I'm excited about IPFS' potential to decentralize the web and data storage in general.

I'm looking forward to meeting all you great people at IPFS Camp and learning as much as possible about p2p systems.

I'm not working on anything involving IPFS currently, but am enthusiastic about libp2p, OpenBazaar and most decentralized technology.

[olizilla]

🙌 @olizilla of old London town here!

This morning, during an otherwise mundane breakfast of oaty hoops, this happened ✨🔆✨

I'm into IPFS for a future where we can meaningfully contribute to the co-hosting of data we care about.

At camp, I'll be your guide for the "Lifecyle of data in IPFS" course AKA "WHERE THE BLOCKS AT!?". It's gonna be rad! I can guarantee it will be slightly calmer and much more detailed than this: https://youtu.be/xTBm1skAfiY

I'm working on the IPFS Web UI and IPFS Desktop, and would like to talk to you all about the tools and visualisations we could add to it to support developers figure out what their IPFS node is up to, and as a learning tool to help new users build a mental model of what's going on under the hood.

[nuke-web3]

Hey hey hey! I'm Dan Shields :grin: @nukemandan Hailing from Colorful Denver Colorado :sunglasses: :mountain: :sun_with_face:

Breakfast is always coffee - Black :coffee: .

What excites me about IPFS? I am passionate about all things Distributed Web (Web3). Blockchain is my main gig, but I know it is only a tiny part of the true decentralized infra future. IPFS (and it's stack) are what I hope are key to unlocking generalized, permissionless cloud storage, and lead to generalized compute as well.

EDIT: I am there in person! :bow: thanks Protocol Labs!!! I will be LIVE to contribute a talk on community building!

I am working most on the IPFS and Blockchain community itself... but I have an end game: CORE Resources. A Distributed set of shared community resources hosted on IPFS by peers in the community. See the node repo for an outline of the plans :grin: (Oh and please consider contributing! I would love to have some support from the amazing folks here! :bowing_man: :pray: )

[koalalorenzo]

Hello Hello Hello! My name is Lorenzo, I am Italian but I come from Copenhagen, Denmark.

This morning my breakfast was made of 2 boiled eggs, food supplements 💪, tea and a grilled cheese sandwich. I am excited about IPFS because I think it is one of the building blocks for decentralised storage; I am super excited because there is a lot to do and a lot of thing to improve! I can't wait to meet new people, say hi to the veterans and learn how we are using IPFS in different way to solve different issues!

ATM, I am working at Siderus developing a more production-ready gateway that solves the issues found by some users of our IPFS Desktop Client: Orion. If you guys has some feedback about this project, or if you want to help, I am the right person to talk to! 🚀

[kk3wong]

Hello Everyone!

I'm Kevin Wong @kk3wong , from Hong Kong. I used to live in Toronto, Canada for many years but I moved back to Hong Kong couple of years ago.

I just had my son's left over bread roll for today's breakfast (which I always do :tired_face:)

I started my university with learning Java, Html, MySQL etc... years ago and ended up landing in a commercial field. The excitement of IPFS kind of drag my focus back to the tech world. I am a big fan of p2p and truly believe IPFS will play a key role of the future Web 3.0

I am looking forward to meeting so many great people and talents through out the camp so that we can work together to help growing the amazing community!

I am currently working on growing the IPFS Community and Protoschool in my city and have a potential to launch a project (only if I got financial support :sob::sob::sob:)

I can't wait to see you all in the camp!:innocent:

[mib-kd743naq]

Hi there! I am Peter Brown or @mib-kd743naq ( just Mib, and no, that's not my main nickname 😁 )

I am hailing from near Germany's coal-country Rheinland

This morning I skipped breakfast ( and 11sies, and lunch, and am already late for dinner ) because of a production issue. One 🌟, would not recommend.

I am excited about IPFS and the IPLD subset in particular as it brilliantly implements various doodles I've been playing with during the past decade or so. I am most interested in offline uses of IPFS, in a manner similar to how I admire the offline capabilities of git.

I am looking forward to participating in the IPLD specification heddesking, various security-related matters, demo my latest progress on a "UNIXFS v1.5" to interested parties, and be part of the awesome experience overall.

[jessicaschilling]

I'm Jessica (@jessicaschilling) and I just moved back home to beautiful Boulder, Colorado (waves at @NukeManDan)!

I skipped breakfast today because I had to go to the dentist, but on my walk to the dentist I got to look at this:

Tons of things excite me about IPFS, but the broadest-possible-level one is the community of developers and users who are genuinely thrilled about and committed to creating protocols and implementations that will truly change the fabric of the internet. I've been lucky in the past to work with a bunch of folks involved in the very early days of the 'net and I've never been in a situation that captures the hope, optimism and excitement that they recall experiencing ... until now.

I'm helping organize the unconf sessions and lightning talks, so I think what I'm looking forward to most about camp is seeing those go wonderfully 😉 ...

Outside of camp stuff I'm working primarily with the IPFS Package Managers Special Interest Group ... come check out what we're up to!

[vasa-develop]

Hey Everyone! Vaibhav(aka vasa) form India here! I had chapati and tea for breakfast (seems like breakfast is part of the intro here :grin:)

I am a dropout from IIT Delhi (dropped out in 2018 Jan). I run a startup named TowardsBlockchain. We have a really passionate team of people working on Web3.0. Also, I am a speaker and writer. I love writing articles that simplify a concept for beginners and average internet users. You can check out my medium profile here.

Apart from that, I love contributing to Open Source. I am working on a few projects under an umbrella called ClusterLabs(Github, Website).

Here is a list of a few cool projects that I am working on:

• IpfsCloud v2.0: The v0.1 started as a side project for showing the wase of use of IPFS, by adding a Google Drive like interface to IPFS backend. But as the user base grew(we have 3000+ users :)) it was easy to see that the project wasn't sustainable, as I can't afford to put up that much storage for free. So, IpfsCloud v2.0 aims to provide a modular stack to build NOT just a decentralized cloud but an ecosystem of p2p webapps. It covers modules for

  • managing identities using DIDs,
  • modular/standalone GUI (using the p2p power of Libp2p)
  • a robust and scalable backend infra that stores data reliably and securely. You can find more about IpfsCloud v2.0 in this thread

• IpfsDocs: Google docs on IPFS

• Cosmos: A general CRDT using IPFS Stack(Made a 3d model collaboration tool)

• Quasar: A Search Engine on IPFS

• IpfsHost: A website Builder(drag n drop like Wix) and hoster on IPFS

• Horizon: A GUI for managing Ipfs Cluster

Other Projects:

• DappBase: FireBase for Dapps
• A number of libs.

I am really excited to join you all at the camp and explore other cool projects in the community :wink:

[vasa-develop]

@olizilla Your previous video is already rad! You got the audience all charged up :+1:

[b5]

Hi all! I'm @b5 [email protected], a Canadian living in Brooklyn. You may know me from such roles as "guy holding the bottom of the poster" in @olizilla's bitswap video.

I legitimately cannot remember what I had for breakfast, but I'm sure it was tasty, and involved coffee. Anyway, I work at qri.io where we bring the open source way of doing things to data science. We're built on IPFS, and even have a docs page for that https://qri.io/docs/concepts/ipfs_to_qri/

I'm very much looking forward to meeting all of you. Can't wait to learn new stuff, build cool stuff, and hash some stuff (out).

[autonome]

Hi, hola, 你好!

My name is Dietrich Ayala, and I've recently moved to San Francisco, California. I used to live in Portland for a long time. I'm adjusting to being Californian again, give me time.

I don't eat breakfast, but I did just have noodle soup for lunch, which we make at home many times every week (I really should publish this recipe...).

I spent a lot of years working on Firefox, Firefox OS and many other things at Mozilla, and now I'm SUPER EXCITED to be able to work on bringing IPFS to the web at Protocol Labs!! We are working to help the user agent live up to its name.

The part of camp I'm most looking forward to is the spaces in between... people meeting new people, building things together that could not be predicted in advance. There are also specific things like some IPFS+Dat+SSB people all being together, the people who work on browsers that are coming like Brave, Chrome, Puma (maybe!) and Firefox.

Projects I'm excited to be working on:

• IPFS representation in standards bodies like W3C, IETF and IAB

• Supporting integration of IPFS in browsers (Brave will be doing demos at the science fair!)

• Ok, I'm not working on it yet, but... I want to make a formalized measurement for IPFS performance and bandwidth usage under different loads and network topologies, so we can better explain where it shines and better identify where it needs work. If you're interested, let's talk 😁

[steven004]

Hello Everyone!

I am Steven from IPFS-Force Community, based in - Shanghai China🇨🇳. I have been in the magic city for more than ten years, focusing on network, security and storage technology.

For the breakfast, I think you might be really interested. This picture is a part of it, plus honey water and delicious Baozi 😉.

Currently I am the technical lead in IPFS-Force Community, and one of organizers of ProtoSchool Shanghai Chapter. We have weekly IPFS event to update the status to people who are interested in, and monthly technical deep-dive session with technical engineers. At the same time, we put some effort on IPFS application development. One platform is on trial already to connect decentralized storage providers and users for commercial use.

I am really excited to join you all at the camp and explore other cool projects in the community 😉. Looking forward to meeting you all.

[gnunicorn]

Hey folks,

it's Ben, from Germany, mostly working from Berlin and Magdeburg nowadays, but used to live in Barcelona -- so very happy to go back there!

I didn't have breakfast yet, but you made me hungry. So, I made myself a little something...

---

For IPFScamp, I am looking to meet all these amazing people and projects building in the decentralisation space, learning about and from them, connect and exchange learnings and experience. I have been involved in the decentralisation, offline-first privacy-security-space for quite a while now, but haven't been to any larger IPFS event yet. So I am very much looking forward getting to know everyone and learn and share.

I myself am working on Substrate, the Rust Blockchain development kit developed by Parity. I've been doing network layer, consensus and client infrastructure stuff on it and am generally working towards integrations with other projects in the space. As such I have been involved in rust-libp2p, rust-ipfs and - most recently - with the Filecoin spec. In case this isn't clear from context: I am a Rust dev (I ❤️ Rust.) and also help organise the Rust community, too (through organising conferences and the governance working group).

[lidel]

Hi friends!

I'm @lidel, also known as Marcin Rataj. Living in Lublin, Poland. Had a coffee-based breakfast.

I've created and maintain ipfs-companion browser extension, and currently work at Protocol Labs on IPFS at the intersection of Web Browsers, GUIs and i18n.

Projects/areas I am excited about?

• Exposing IPFS features in useful, intuitive way. In the following months I hope to revisit user-facing things like archiving, authoring and publishing content (websites!) using IPFS, and work to ensure those are great experiences.

• Bringing DWeb protocols closer to web browsers. Some of you might remember me from experiments such as Protocol Handler with libdweb and Firefox Nightly, or recent escapades into embedded JS-IPFS-as-a-Gateway in Brave. Buckle up: embedded Gateway is an important step, but P2P Transports and Local Discovery will make things truly exciting!

I am looking forward to in-between conversations at IPFS Camp. Great ideas always appear in that type of environment!

[JustMaier]

Hey, ʎǝH,

My name is Justin Maier! I say I'm from Seattle, but by my actually from a super beautiful place (especially this time of year), called North Bend. It's about 30 minutes east in a valley surrounded by mountains. It was made famous by the cult classic from the 90s, Twin Peaks.

I had half a breakfast burrito today because I was too busy rewriting a reward function for an autonomous race car (only half as cool as it sounds).

A lot of things about IPFS excite me, but I think the thing that excites me most about it, kind of like everything with this decentralization movement, is how it takes power from the few and gives it to the many. The network and data layer of IPFS create the foundation for a completely new type of computing that I believe is necessary for humanity to reach the next level of evolution :)

I'm looking forward to being around other people excited about IPFS and learning from and talking with topic experts.

I'm building Gathering, an app that uses LibP2P to allow direct device to device contact info swapping at in-person conferences with a gamified incentive. It's mostly an experiment to explore the technology, but hopefully it'll work well 😬

[AquiGorka]

Hello y'all!

My name is Gorka, I was born in Mexico City, lived there for 22 years, then moved to Playa del Carmen (amazing Caribbean destination) for 5 years, then moved to Bueno Aires, Argentina also for 5 years and 2 years ago moved to Barcelona, Spain - planning on moving somewhere else once again.

Today I had my regular avocado with sunny-side up egg and mate:

IPFS rocks, big time. Several things about the project draw my attention:

• experimental pubsub + crdts
• libp2p
• using it as a file system!

I will be trying to learn as much as I can on how to use IPFS for Dapps, learn all I can on distributed Identity, learn how to improve an auth layer I've implemented on top of my IPFS node and how to easily connect nodes (nat is a bummer).

Projects I'm working on:

• Aragon: hell yeah! Building software to manage unstoppable organizations!
• Kontu: kiss infrastructure for Dapps that uses a home IPFS node server to store user data and to connect to other nodes (just found out about Textile and am really happy they'll be attending and giving a course)

[xavivives]

Hey hey! Xavi here, from just a couple hours away from the event. I don't have breakfast but I saw this beauty on a lemon tree on our little solarpunk plot of land.

Right now, most of my energy goes to Vocdoni, where we're building an end-to-end verifiable, censorship-resistant, voting system.

But also Interplanetary mind-map, where we're exploring how to construct and organize information so anyone can create a sharable ontology that fits her very unique model of the world. So we can play with more complexity, re-use knowledge, learn faster and transcend the default limitations of the human mind! Yeah!

I'm really excited about the event and to meet like-minded individuals. I'll say that I'm especially interested in IPLD, sovereign identities, IPFS on mobile devices, an anything that does not require an authority to work ^^

[gregdhill]

Hey folks, my name's Greg and I'm from Edinburgh, Scotland! For breakfast, I cooked my famous poached eggs with a nice mug of coffee. :coffee:

I graduated from University last year and joined Monax soon after, focusing on work in the blockchain space - specifically Hyperledger Burrow. I love all things decentralized, and IPFS is an incredible technology which will likely underpin the next web. We use it at work to share state across different chains, and we're also looking at versioning smart contracts with gx. I recently started work on a small side project nicknamed Gantry, which facilitates using IPFS as a registry for OCI compliant images.

At the camp I'm most excited to learn more about libp2p and identity, but I also aspire to better understand the whole ecosystem! Of course, I also can't wait to meet more like-minded geeks and work on some awesome design projects together! :man_astronaut:

[gorhgorh]

Hey all, I'm Jérôme from Paris, France. I had a typical French breakfast, black coffee and fresh bread from the boulangerie.

I'm a bit of an oddball here, as I don't use IPFS, yet, (I'm currently working on a ... badminton training robot!) but I'm on a mission to connect a many cats to the internet as possible, and this should be made in a decentralised way, so I'm looking forward meeting you all and decentralise all the things

[joaosantos15]

🇵🇹 Bom dia! 😁

My name is João, and I'm super excited to get to know you all! I'm based in Lisbon, although I work remotely so I'm always all over the place. Today I had my standard breakfast: A ham sandwich with an ice coffee.

I've used IPFS in the past when building a web annotation censorship resistant system. Since then I shifted my attention to decentralised identity. I'm part of the Rebooting the Web of Trust community, and helped out designing and implementing (a tiny part) of the Identity Manager.

Together with @satazor and @paulobmarcos, we will be conducting the Identity on the DWeb course and I hope to see a bunch of you there! 💪

[achingbrain]

Hi, I'm Alex, a core dev on the JavaScript implementation of IPFS.

I live in London where today, predictably, it's raining. When I remember to have breakfast it's cereal and a cup of tea - when I forget it's usually croissants from the supermarket next door, which are ok but no doubt vastly inferior to @gorhgorh's boulangerie provided delights.

I'm jazzed about the use of IPFS in low powered computing environments with flaky network connections, identity, and integrity. I'll also be one of your guides on the libp2p workshop!

[hsanjuan]

Hi all, I'm Hector and I mostly take care of the IPFS Cluster (https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster).

We have been very busy in the team preparing courses and an IPFS Cluster workshop for the camp (join Elective Course B!). We will also run a local Cluster-based pinning service on a bunch of Raspberry Pis.

I'm looking forward to meet you all and very excited to discuss about distributed apps on the libp2p and ipfs lands, crdts, and all new features coming to Cluster.

One of my little projects has been an IPFS storage driver for the Docker Registry (https://github.com/docker/distribution/pull/2906) which builds on top of go-ds-crdt and ipfs-lite.

*For breakfast I had a swarm of tender peers seasoned with spicy pubsub messages, on a creamy dht sauce, toppled with unique chocolate bits of content.

[terichadbourne]

Hey, folks! I'm Teri and I'm the lead maintainer and community manager for ProtoSchool, a community-driven open source project dedicated to making it easy to get started with decentralized web technologies through interactive tutorials and local community learning events. (We just added our 20th chapter this morning, and we'll be releasing a brand new tutorial later this week! 🎉 ) I'll be attending lots of workshops at IPFS Camp with an eye to transforming the content into ProtoSchool tutorials after the event.

Since I live in Boston, there's a Dunkin' Donuts on every corner, so when I'm out and about I tend to end up grabbing the least unhealthy thing on the breakfast menu: the ham, egg and cheese wake-up wrap. If you frequent Zoom meetings in the IPFS universe, you've probably seen me sipping my accompanying iced tea from a Dunks cup.

I'm still new to IPFS and the decentralized web in general, but I'm excited about their potential to democratize access to data for folks with poor internet connections. I first learned about the decentralized web through my work organizing an unconference tech retreat called Offline Camp, which brings together the the Offline First community to tackle the challenges of building tech solutions that work in challenging network conditions. I used to be a developer advocate for IBM Cloudant, and have some experience building offline-capable Progressive Web Apps with CouchDB & PouchDB, but I've never build a Dapp. I've been exploring the crossover between Offline First and dweb as a member of the Local and Offline Collaboration Special Interest Group, and I look forward to learning more at IPFS Camp about how IPFS can support offline or low-bandwidth use cases.

I find a lot of discussion about decentralized web concepts to be quite inaccessible to beginners, in part due to vocabulary that feels really foreign. (For more on this, check out Nolan Lawson's passion talk "Decentralization Is Not Enough" and my subsequent interview with him on the messaging challenges of the decentralized web and the risk of creating an exclusive safe haven for the technical elite, rather than a compelling movement to change the way technology works for everyone.) I'm looking forward to connecting with all of you at camp and discussing how we can help to make both IPFS and broader dweb concepts friendlier for beginners as we build the IPFS community.

A special shout-out to all the ProtoSchool chapter organizers and IPFS Meetup organizers coming to camp. I can't wait to meet you all in person!

[MarneeDear]

Hi, I am Marnee.

I live in Tucson, Arizona.

For breakfast I had a huge glass of whole, raw milk.

I am interested in two areas of application:

Mesh networks in general, and ham radio emergency communications networks, specifically. I have been designing and developing a system called FAPRS - F# for APRS, that you can read more about here, that I hope to someday integrate with IPFS and Broadband Hamnet (mesh network).

Research computing and reproducibility in general, and distributed, decentralized systems for sharing data, specifically. I suspect IPFS-cluster will be a good fit for this. I contribute a bit to a project called Exosphere, which is intended to make it easier for researchers to allocate and manage their computing infrastructure. We have talked about the potential to use IPFS for data storage and sharing. (New contributors are always welcome).

I am looking forward to learning a lot more about IPFS, interesting applications, meeting new people, and walk away with a good understanding of how to implement IPFS in my projects.

[Gozala]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Irakli Gozalishvili and I'm from Georgia (this one 🇬🇪) currently living in Portland OR. I usually go by @gozala on the internet.

My breakfast was yogurt with some berries, but I don't have a photo of it. So instead I'm going to share a photo of ice creams me & my son enjoyed on our bike ride this weekend. I'm having Shiitake mashroom flavor (which is quite a something) and my son is enjoying Berries, Beans, & BBQ Sauce!

I have being working at Mozilla about 10 years on different projects and capacity. Lately I've being focusing my efforts on enabling peer-to-peer technologies like IPFS in the browsers through projects like libdweb.

I think IPFS provides an opportunity to turn power dynamics of the web (favoring authority - server) upside down & to create an ecosystem where user agent (a.k.a browser) acts in user interests instead of corporate ones executing instructions delivered from their servers.

I am looking forward to meet the IPFS community and attempt to steer conversations from "how do we bring IPFS to the devs ?" towards in IMO more important question of "How do we bring core values of IPFS to the users?" as two can often lead to different choices and outcomes & values we are trying to bring are the most important. I also would be helping with "Making the Browser True User Agent" elective, "IPFS in Web Workers" deep dive and possibly unpacking above mentioned subject further at UNCONF

Lately I have being experimenting with Inter Planetary Data Feeds a side project of mine that I'll also do a lightning talk about. I also would be happy to share learnings from lunet exploration that is an attempts to bring the values of IPFS to the web by utilizing web platform & upgrading to the true P2P stack when local IPFS node is available.

Look forward to seeing you all there!

[ianamunoz]

Hey everyone I'm Ian and I currently live in Denver,CO, 👋 at all the Coloradans, but moving to Brooklyn after I get back from the camp! 👋 to all future NY neighbors!

I had 'Malt-O-Meal' for breakfast. It's basically porridge but it's heart healthy and sticks with you all day :)

I am really excited about universal file namespaces and how IPFS can help decentralize data which I believe is critical to the future of the internet.

I'm excited about distributed package and source management. Docker container registries and other projects that help with designing more robust systems. I am interested in making IPFS more usable today and in my current day to day workflow. I am also interested in using IPFS in HPC settings.

I am on a short sabbatical from work at the moment and I'm excited for IPFS camp to re ignite some new computing passion.

[gpestana]

Hey hey, I'm Gonçalo :)

I just settled down in London after a period of time between Lisbon and the road. I was raised in a small fisherman town in Portugal called Sesimbra, around 40km south of Lisbon and although I'm pretty excited about moving to London, I always feel slightly homesick. This picture explains it better:

Sesimbra ❤️

For breakfast I had coffee. black! ☕️

I believe that IPFS has a huge role as part of the tech stack that will serve as the scaffolding for the future of connected experiences that are secure, private and decentralised. And that is pretty cool! :)

This thread sums up better than anything the main reason I'm so excited about the camp: to meet all the interesting people (and with solid decision making when it comes to breakfast) who will be around. I'm also looking forward to learn about the new projects that are pushing decentralisation forward and to have good conversations around hacking and the future of the web. I really enjoy spontaneous, popup hacking sessions and the IPFS camp seems to be the right place for that to happen 👨‍💻 👩‍💻

I've been working on p3lib, which is a toolbox for engineers to enhance privacy in P2P networks. IMO, one of the most interesting challenges on designing and building low latency P2P networks (e.g. based on distributed hash tables) is how to build those systems so that peers collaborate with each other without leaking information about their behaviour, interests and social graph. I believe that decentralised networks have a huge potential for delivering a scalable and private infrastructure for the web, but there is still a lot of research and engineering work to get there. p3lib is an effort in that direction: to provide building blocks for system engineers and designers to enhance privacy of their P2P applications.

Can't wait!! :) 🏕 🏕 🏕

[anorth]

Hi all, I'm Alex. I was born in, and am currently still living in, Sydney Australia. I have a looong flight to join you.

Breakfast today, as it is frequently, was avocado on toast. Apparently "invented" in Australia but seems totally normal to me. Yes, I have Vegemite when we run out of avos.

I work on the Filecoin implementation and am really excited to learn more about how IPFS have built such an amazing, engaged community and how Filecoin can boost that even more.

I'm looking forward to learning some deep details about how parts of IPFS work, since Filecoin stands on those giant shoulders. Earlier in my career I worked on real-time collaborative data models and applications as part of Google Wave (RIP) and am also looking forward to sharing my learnings from that.

I'm pretty excited about Filecoin, of course, but even more so about the technology and applications that will be possible to create on top of these building blocks.
