TL;DR: I am so happy and excited to be part of IFT and I love all the people and what we do:)

The Institute of Free Technology (free.technology) all-hands has been a blast! I am so bullish on all the people and the tech and what we are building - permissionless privacy and censorship-resistance for everybody.

I've seen so much passion and excitement over the past few days, but also doubts if all we want can be done and if anyone actually cares - and that's ok, as long as we are moving forward towards the common goal and are public and loud about it, the tribe will grow:)

Kudos to organizers (internal and external - FYI onsitehub.eu) - it was perfect!

Also kudos to @jarradhope for pushing us to think about why and how we do things - I really appreciate your insights and leadership.

In the process of creating Status (https://status.app), I created a portfolio of projects to secure your civil liberties. https://free.technology

It's hard to express how much it means to me that I was able to connect with many people from all the projects ( @waku, @codexstorage , Keycard, vacp2p, Nomos, @ethstatus, ...) on both work/technical level, but also on personal level - it is so much easier to collaborate when you "know" the other person (at least for me):)

I will also selfishly say that I think Waku has the best lead we could wish for, Thanks @fryorcraken.eth.

I've been overusing the word "tribe" in the last few days as it's been put forward by Jarrad as something we really want and need - build a tribe, not just userbase - we need/want people who care about what we do to help us get "there" faster and better - and we need the tribe to help us figure out where/what "there" is.

Anyway, so many exciting things are going on - I am just full of it and I needed to let it out:)

Very jealous of your keycard shell… I want it just for the camera

We need a Shell camera device:) Maybe we could build one using Raspberry:D
