The local-first conference in Berlin was amazing! Such energy in the community, a diverse set of people bringing their perspectives, and alignment on values. The 200-person venue sold out in a week. So gratifying to see the excitement about local-first and to meet lots of interesting people.

A slightly meandering but fun WIRED article on local-first software and CRDTs, also featuring Strange Loop and the St. Louis City Museum, Marc Shapiro, @pvh, @expede, and others https://www.wired.com/story/the-cloud-is-a-prison-can-the-local-first-software-movement-set-us-free/

We are planning two events for the local-first community:
• September 23 in St. Louis, MO, USA (after Strange Loop)
• October 24 in Cascais, Portugal (PLF at SPLASH) https://2023.splashcon.org/home/plf-2023

Talk submissions for PLF in Cascais are open. The event in St. Louis will probably be a more informal unconference – please let me know if you want to attend, so that we can put you on the list!
