The DWebYVR community is organizing a week of events while the IETF is in town. Tech, media, and other explorations of how to create things we can own together.
So many of our digital participations are on platforms and software that we don't own, and can't easily affect. The cloud makes us think that everything is far away, and diffuse.
But we can build, run, modify, and create software, hardware, art, media, and tech of our own!
