@Argus They're also one of the few spaces we can still socialise in this age of social distancing (at least during the cold months). Let's light more bonfires!

@Argus bonfires often start among a small group of friends and then may attract neighbours and others who want hang out for a while. Also burning stuff is fun!

@bonfire I love the name "Bonfire" - makes me think of Dark Souls, and the security bonfires provide. What was the source of the name?

#apconf2020

While development-oriented talks are crucial to the conference, I love that #apconf2020 incorporates more interdisciplinary approaches to the practical application of these tools!

CommonsPub and the quest for a modular decentralised app ecosystem https://conf.tube/videos/watch/d66cf9ea-e8bf-452e-bb36-e88a402e3da2

Just launched a first draft of our website with a little info about what we're cooking: https://bonfire.cafe

TL;DR: Bonfire will be:

1. a pre-configured device
2. a fediverse identity hosted service (which syncs between the fediverse and the device whenever it comes online)
3. apps (web apps but they run on the device instead of the cloud)
