## Notes

- IPFS Camp
- Goals:
1. Greatly increase the number of people who can significantly contribute to the project. We want folks who can help with content routing, CID versions, etc. so they can build great dev tools, etc.
2. Build a community that is inspired to build on IPFS (DeSci)
3. Fun (memorable, relationship building)
- Scaling our efforts through better specs and documentation.
- Lidel would be open to give a revised version of the IPIP talk.
- How could to Stewards help given that we have about a month?
- Is it more about content creation? better specs?
- Mosh: The community is more blocked by knowledge than software
- Daniel: if you're building applications, what do you need to know,

- js-ipfs examples repo
- https://github.com/ipfs-examples/js-ipfs-examples
- Why is it in a separate github org?
- Makes it easier to discover examples?
- Grant more permissions be more relaxed?
- There is a monorepo but also repo for each example and this prevents pollution.
- example-per-repo is fork-and-go pattern -> low friction dx for both usage and contribution. https://jlord.us/forkngo/
- Good thing: there is a CI in js-ipfs to ensure examples pass
- Ownership:
- js-ipfs maintainer area of responsibility: make sure not breaking examples or updating them if do break
- for triaging incoming examples, need someone who is deciding whether it's relevant/useful
- Decision: devrel will own it
- Practicalities
- Org readme
- Ask #ipdx to setup github-mgmt
- Example utility:
- Not all of them are useful
- Makes sense to go through them one by one
- Problem:
- many don't know they exist
- We need to get more links.
- Steve: Meta: should we get Alex to this meeting?

- IPNS Spec
- https://github.com/ipfs/specs/pull/319
- More eyes on the above are welcome. We actually have docs specifying how it works.
- Libraries
- js-ipns is used in js-ipfs
- go-ipns is used in kubo
- Both can be used as standalone library.

- verify domains for GitHub
- https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/organizations/managing-organization-settings/verifying-or-approving-a-domain-for-your-organization
