 A Tour of Spritely's next-gen decentralized networking tech

 Centralization broke community on the Internet. We're here to fix it.

 Centralized social media is harmful to society. The Spritely
Institute is building a gatekeeper-free decentralized system. Their
mission is “social media done right”; to put people in control of
their own identity and build the technology that would enable a shift
to collaborative and intentional security models prioritizing active
consent. To accomplish this, they are building a new architecture for
the internet: removing the necessity of client-server architecture,
replacing it with a participatory peer-centric model.

 Christine Lemmer Webber will give an overview of Spriely. In
particular, in this talk we focus on Spritely Goblins, which is a
distributed, transactional, time traveling, object-capability-secure
programming environment written in Scheme.

 Come for a tour of the Spritely Institute's tech!

 Christine Lemmer-Webber is CTO of the Spritely Institute, a nonprofit
working on next generation free and open source decentralized
networking technology to empower communities. She's also co-author of
the ActivityPub specification as used by Mastodon, etc.
