IPFS Weekly 20

IPFS Weekly 20

# Welcome to the IPFS Weekly. 👋

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) (opens new window) is a new hypermedia distribution protocol, addressed by content and identity. IPFS enables the creation of completely distributed applications. It aims to make the web faster, safer, and more open. Since that’s a pretty large scope, we track development across the ecosystem in this weekly dispatch.

Here are some of the highlights since the last IPFS Weekly.

# The latest

  • Did you know there’s an IPFS Weekly Call (opens new window)? Mondays at 5pm, UTC join IPFS contributors around the globe for a face to face meeting that also features one or more short talks from guest presenters! Next week, December 3, presenter Jacob Heun will talk about the recent JS-Libp2p release, and the week after that Sander Pick will share about Textile photos. Check out the IPFS Community Calendar (opens new window) for more dates and info!
  • If you are newer to tech but passionate about decentralization you should apply for the IT Engineer role (opens new window) at Protocol Labs. It’s a remote position helping empower the team working on IPFS, Filecoin, libp2p, and more!
