Come hang out with your favorite nerds and discuss the atmo projects and topics you're most excited about! This month, Graze Social founder, @DevinGaffney.com will kick off the meeting with a presentation on @CoCore.dev, a co-op experiment that allows members to freely use and share compute with each other. In his talk, he'll discuss: - What Co/Core is, what it does, and how it works - How technologies like Co/Core can be tools of liberation - Devin's checklist for design: economic value, community organizing, and anti-enshittification *Co/Core in Devin's words:* > We're in the era of skeuomorphs. To realize what something like atproto can actually do, we have to push hard into the specific flexibilities it affords — the ones that let us challenge, rather than merely re-stage, the products we're making skeuomorphs of. What we need isn't skeuomorphs but lyrebirds: things that wear the surface affordances of the familiar while running an entirely different drive underneath. That's what our team believes we're building with Graze: a vehicle that looks functionally like the affordances people already know, packed with new ideologies and mechanisms of attentional liberation. > CoCore is a deliberate experiment at one of those edges. It widens the aperture by taking seriously two spectra of design: what counts as a social act on atproto, and how a record represents one. My claim is that skeuomorphs tend to share the same answers to both — and that exploring the extremes of those spectra is itself a roadmap for the future of what we can build on-protocol. **Agenda:** 6:00 - 6:10 | Arrival, snacks, hangout 6:10 - 6:20 | Welcome 6:20 - 6:40 | @CoCore.dev by @DevinGaffney.com 6:40 - 7:15 | Demos & Discussions 7:15 - 7:30 | Regroup and discuss 7:30 | Close Hope to see you there!

The sixth edition of the PublicSpaces conference focuses on the impact of technology on our democracy https://conference.publicspaces.net/en Tickets are now available: https://tickets.publicspaces.net/publicspaces/pubconf2026/ Also includes Open Social Awards https://newpublic.org/OSA # This year's theme: 'Technology for Democracy' Whereas in its early days the internet was seen as a great promise for our democracy – giving everyone a voice and providing unlimited access to information – today it is seen above all as a threat. The digital space is dominated by big tech companies whose primary goal is to maximize profits. The internet increasingly serves as an arena for geopolitical strategies. Non-transparent algorithms and the unrestrained spread of AI-generated fake news cause disinformation and polarization. As a result, a shared reality – with room for democratic values such as freedom of expression, the prohibition of discrimination, and the right to privacy – is no longer a given, and public debate and free elections are under threat. ## Healthy public debate A digital public space is essential for a healthy democratic society. During the sixth edition of the PublicSpaces Conference on Thursday, June 4, Friday, June 5, and Saturday, June 6, in Amsterdam, PublicSpaces and Waag Futurelab will explore how this digital public space can be shaped based on democratic values. This will be done through keynotes by international speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and, of course, the art program. This year, you can follow the program through three different tracks: Digital Autonomy, Public AI, and TheNextSocials (in collaboration with New_ Public). On Thursday June 4th, there will be a pre-conference programme. On Friday June 5th, the conference will take place at Pakhuis de Zwijger https://dezwijger.nl/, and on Saturday June 6th, Waag Futurelab will open its doors for a new edition of Hyperlink.
