The Future of Open Source is SocialGreat Hall South · Conference Day #1
open source changed the world, but now it’s stuck in the age of pull requests and gatekeepers. what happens when you build it on a social protocol instead? (and complimentary to tangled) jeremie miller — creator of XMPP (the protocol behind whatsapp, zoom, and billions of daily messages) and bluesky board member — will demo something new built entirely on AT Protocol that reimagines how open source software gets discovered, shared, and trusted. this one’s going to break some brains.

Who owns the group chat? Building collaborative spaces on ATProto
10:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Traditional social platforms centralize control of community spaces—the platform owns your group, your members, and your data. On ATProto, ownership, governance, and moderation become explicit design decisions. This talk explores building shared resources on a decentralized protocol—from data synchronization to governance models—drawing from real experience building community features and examples from other ATProto apps.
