Hive Meetups

Online

Audio/Video Calls

I manage a public jitsi platform at https://meet.openhive.chat, which you can use for your calls.
We use this instance for our monthly CoreDev meetups. For recordings and transcripts see @howo account.

OpenHive.Chat

When you authenticate on https://hive.blog using a private posting key, you'll notice a chat integration. Whenever you log in via Hive.Blog or Hivesigner, your private key remains private in your browser, meaning it's never sent to a server.

For chats, I'm available at https://openhive.chat( using the @gandalf account).
I've updated some old bridges and established a few new ones:

Telegram <-> OpenHive.Chat Bridges:

#HiveIO-telegram bridges with the Hive.io Telegram group.
#hivefest bridges with the official HiveFest Telegram group.
#spanish bridges with the Hive en Español Telegram group.

Discord <-> OpenHive.Chat Bridges:

#HiveIO-discord bridges with the #openhive-chat-bridge channel on a Hive Discord server.

Others

#dev is bridged with the #dev channel on a Mattermost instance.

In Real Life (IRL)

BerlinWeb3

Lots of talks, lots of fun. Meeting old friends, adopting new-bees.
Check out @louis88's posts for photos and video material.

Polish Kraków Meetup

Although the meeting was predominantly local, some participants traveled from distant parts of the country, Europe, and even the world. It's not the first time that after a club meeting, we've visited a unique, Hive-friendly place: @krolestwo.

Various Dev Related Meetups

I've attended numerous offline dev meetups, but one in particular stood out. I learned that using a bow to shoot other devs can be quite entertaining, especially when you're on the winning team.

Upcoming

HiveFest

Check out https://hivefe.st for details.

Bad News

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this time around. This will be the first HiveFest I've missed, and I'm definitely experiencing some FOMO.

Good News

On a brighter note, I've managed to secure a deal with airlines, as I have done in the past.

”Skyteam is pleased to be your preferred alliance for travel, official partner of HiveFest”

SkyTeam, one of the world's three major airline alliances, consists of 19 carriers including Aeroméxico, Delta Air Lines, Air France, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, etc. We have secured exclusive discounts of up to 15%, depending on your exact flight itinerary. You should receive a discount code from the @hivefest team shortly, if you haven't already.

Stuff & Services

Available at https://gtg.openhive.network/

• Exchanges snapshot update (4GB)
• Hived AH snapshot update (657GB)
• Hivemind (legacy) dump update (65GB)

Simple, but could save you days of hassle and lots of server resources.

Happy Hiversary to me ;-)

I've been around for more than 7 years. This is also the length of time that my witness nodes have been running. In fact, my nodes have been operational for a bit longer, since my first proof of work was required to create my account.

Thank you all for your support. If you're not already voting for me as a witness, please consider doing so.
