The second tech meet, after a long pause. The text in this hypha was typed by the attendess.

Attending:

• Timur

• Lion Kimbro

This time, not on Discord, but on Jitsi. Jitsi worked fine, unlike Discord, with which there were some sound problems.

Matrix is an open-source federated messaging platform.

Uxn is a fantasy computer, virtual machine.

Digital Gardens:

• Melanocarpa is Timur's digital garden.

• the tour bus system

• Agora — an aggregator for digital gardens

• "Flancia!"— flancia.org — a vision of a future lifestyle

FedWiki vs Mycorrhiza federation approach:

• Boucepaw's vision:

  • link, transclude, log in across wikis

  • Mycorrhiza wants to be a "rock" - stable, solid

• Fedwiki's vision:

  • SmallTalk & wiki link somehow (?)

  • plugins, Javascript

  • "Your wiki is your website, and nobody else edits it. Instead, it's forked, and the fork is edited."

  • Fedwiki is like "water" - fluid, liquid

Lion's Pamphlet system written in Tcl/Tk. Text data stored in one LSF format, images are in a separate folder and can be Ctrl+Ved.

Tiled map. Tile, grid vs no grid.

Tried out tree sheets. Kinda fun. It seems they have their own home-grown application format :-(

What Lion likes about Lua:

1. It's C. It's primitive C.

2. It's Dictionary-based. ("Tables")

3. It's Globals-based.

Lion loves Python just like he loves his wife.

Making a programmer community in Seattle. A long monologue about community-building and philosophy.
