2024
Our Networks is a community event about the past, present, and future of building network infrastructures. The event hosts keynotes, talks, and hands-on sessions on topics including: decentralized systems, peer-to-peer web, community networks, and new network communication and storage protocols. We have hosted five previous events since 2017.
Drawing on practices of local-first, solar-powered servers, folk software, and permacomputing, Our Networks 2024 explores what collaboration looks like when a network is optional. Looking at transitional technologies and forms of computing that break from always-on connectivity as we spend a day connecting over local networks.
