FEP-1042: Peer to Peer Fediverse Identities
Hey folks, we at [Distributed Press](https://distributed.press) have been working on making a bridge between peer to peer or "dweb" protocols and ActivityPub implementations over the past year and wanted to solidify our approach so that others can interoperate. Here's is an initial draft expla...
FOSDEM 2025 - Goblins: The framework for your next project!
Building peer-to-peer decentralised applications remains difficult and error-prone. Most attempts at this either abandon collaborative features entirely or fall back on centralised architectures. The Spritely Institute is working on this challenge by creating (among other things) Goblins, a Guile framework that makes secure, fault-tolerant peer-to-peer applications accessible to developers. These tools are especially valuable for developers building secure collaborative applications that aim to foster healthy online communities. This talk walks you through Goblins’ most powerful features, including the actor model, object capability security, networking, time travel debugging, and persistence.

The Heart of Spritely: Distributed Objects and Capability Security
This paper is the second in a three-part series outlining Spritely's thinking and design. The first paper, Spritely: New Foundations for Networked Communities, explains the problems which face contemporary social network design. This paper details the core technical toolbox provided by Spritely Goblins and how it supplies the necessary features to feasibly build out Spritely's broader vision. The third paper in the series, Spritely for Secure Applications and Communities, ties the first two papers together by showing how the architecture for user-facing software fulfills the vision of the first paper and can be built on top of ideas from this paper.

Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse
Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They'll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside you’ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.
