Call for Participation in Decentralized Communications Community Group
The Decentralized Communications Community Group has been launched:
The mission of this group is to specify and build a reference implementation of Decentralized Communications. Decentralized Communications enables natively inter-operable communication services that are able to trustfully use peer to peer connections without having to use central authorities or services. Decentralized Comms are inherently inter-operable without using standard protocols by using the Protocol on-the-fly concept, where the most appropriate protocol stack to be used, is selected and instantiated at run-time.
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2017-03-23 by Paulo Chainho. The following people supported its creation: Paulo Chainho, Iago Soto Mata, Markku Raitisoja, Joep Meindertsma, Anton Roman, Sebastian Göndör. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
I would recommend this group instead join the Social Web Incubator Community Group https://www.w3.org/community/swicg/
As we are trying to get all interested in these types of federated social communications together in one place to talk about.
