"Holochain & The Weave - A Story of Free"
A video with Eric Harris-Braun
A new, exciting, and easily understandable video about Holochain has just been released (July 24th, 2024) by Eric Harris-Braun, co-founder of the Holochain Foundation, and Lightningrod Labs. This is a recording of a conversation Eric (Zippy) had with a friend about how Holochain and The Weave can help to induce an explosion of collaboration by making the cost to collaborate near zero! In it, he shares a recent “aha!”
“when something really valuable becomes free, everything changes…” - Zippy
The context Zippy offers beautifully explains a core capacity of Holochain. We felt it's important to share this as widely as possible. Grab a refreshment, sit with this video and take it in. You'll enjoy it when the possibilities become apparent!

Update by Anita: Our Networks Conference - Vancouver, Canada, July 27, 2024
I had the pleasure of attending the Our Networks Conference (co-sponsored by the Holochain Foundation) and meeting…in person…two lovely humans in the Holochain Ecosystem, Paul d’Aoust and Mike Gamble! Paul is on the Holochain Fdtn team has brought us beautiful blogs, graphics and connection on Devhc (Discord)! Mike was a main team member of RedGrid (Australia), and is now developing new Holochain projects. It was also delightful to see what is happening in the #localfirst community and meeting some new amazing people.
Note from Anita: One amazing article on Local-First Software came out of the conference. See for yourself how Holochain could be an answer for this community!

Article: Industry Resistance to Climate Action: Digital Product Passports and The New Normal by Scott Frankum
Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and global data reporting laws in Japan, California, the U.S., and especially the E.U. might just save us from ourselves on climate. Meanwhile, most industries quietly balk at the regulations. Let's focus here on the comprehensive E.U. legislation.
Note: Scott’s project, Sustafy, is currently being built using Holochain and has been featured previously in “What’s happening?”

Article: From local storage To-do list to Fractal, Peer-to-Peer Habit Tracker (refrain) by Nick Stebbs
“(Start with part 1 , part 2 or part 3 for the earlier development story)
A lot has happened in the Holochain ecosystem since my last writings on this project. It has become less of a moving target for development since the initial Beta release candidate dropped in December 2022, leading us all the way to today’s most stable release (0.3.2).”

Update: Volla Quintus Kickstarter
In just under three hours, the Volla Phone Quintus reached its funding target, and by the midpoint of the crowdfunding campaign the amount was doubled, securing the Quintus build! Series production is set to begin this month and software development is also progressing in close collaboration with the Holochain foundation., The first beta of Volla OS 14 and the Relay App are already in testing! The Recovery App is making strides as well, focusing on efficient resource use:
“In order to implement the functions of the Volla Cloud for smartphones with as little memory and energy consumption as possible, there will be a core service whose resources are shared by Volla Cloud Apps. This service is independent of the fact that each application and, in the case of the Relay app, even each conversation or group forms a separate peer-to-peer network.” - Dr. Jorg Wurzer
We’ve ordered a Volla Phone Quintus each and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of this innovative journey! The sleek design, cutting-edge software, and the community-driven development make this smartphone truly stand out. You can still back the kickstarter and join us in embracing the future of mobile technology with the Volla Phone Quintus!
As with all crowd-funding campaigns, please confirm all the information provided on the Kickstarter page before deciding to participate.
