Backcasting from a mid-May registration
To Do!
- Name & frame the week (Ideally DONE by May 6!) (Brainstorm in This GDoc)
- Naming - Boris has a handwritten list, highlights of which have been transcribed into the GDoc linked above. T
- Framing - unearthing the intersections of tech / arts / media / research, leveraging the presence of IETF being in town!
- Plan location/vibe for afterparty Sat, July 27
- Create a consolidated lu.ma calendar where people can add their events
- Set up a subdomain at dwebyvr.org
- Extend invitation to the network
- Internet Access
What's confirmed:
- Our Networks in 312 Main on Sat, July 27
- The whole IETF event series; the conference is quite expensive, but the first Sat/Sun (codesprint) is quite open.
Other audiences
- Interdisciplinary arts / tech / media / research
Other ideas

Coworking
- Retrospective on past events:
- The coworking morning sessions at The Permanent were not highly effective and are discontinued.
- The afternoon sessions dovetailing into Tech Socials will continue.
- Some interest in trying different spaces? Looking for at least one coworking lead
- Need feedback from people! Run a poll to see if coworking is in demand
- Maybe: look for a paid space to share?
Tech Socials

Going forward:
- Charge for tickets and include food / drink?
- Arrange around 'themes' to bring out people interested in specific content that's more specifically DWeb aligned than generic 'tech'?
