The Decentralised Web Summit (I'll use the bad acronym DeWeb for now), is the realisation of the idea for a summit discussed last year with Brewster Kahle at Chaos Communication Camp.
Note: It would have been great to participate in some way with Fedwiki, remotely or at the event, but time and money made this problematic.Perverse logic dictates that a conference on the decentralised web was not organised in a decentralised way. This was the main thrust of the discussion we had at the camp.
I think it is worth following up immediately after the summit, so that we can organise the series of events alluded to by Brewster in his DWS Closing Remarks.
The current Web is not private or censorship-free. It lacks a memory, a way to preserve our culture’s digital record through time. The Decentralized Web aims to make the Web open, secure and free of censorship by distributing data, processing, and hosting across millions of servers around the world, with no centralized control. site ![]()

The Summit & meetup is a two-day event for high level discussions among leaders from around the globe working on decentralized technologies. What decentralized applications are being built today, and what is just around the corner? Together, can we prototype the Decentralized Web and start to lock the Web open for good?
