It's time to connect...on Discord!

WE HAVE EXCITING NEWS! We’re opening a Discord Server for hAppenings.community!!
What’s Discord? It’s a well-used (if oddly titled) platform that lets groups create their own community with lots of customization options. It’s where Holochain Developers gather, as well as many Holochain projects.
As you may well know, hAppenings.community is all about sharing information, news, and updates about the Holochain Ecosystem, a.k.a. “The Holoverse”. As well as our current projects (Holochain Project Databases, our website, and this newsletter) we’ve decided we really want more interaction with, and between, our readers!
Our dream is to have multiple social platforms on Holochain applications, and that’s coming! In the meantime, we’re stoked to start things off on Discord. Why? Offering the information we gather where the community currently hangs out seems like a sensible progression. And, with the popularity of Dev.HC (the Holochain Developers server on Discord) in mind, we have leaped ahead and built our own hAppenings Discord server. (No small feat!)
Discord helps us engage with you better so we can learn from each other about the latest developments in the ecosystem and place the links to the Holochain Projects Database at your fingertips.
Discord also opens up options for Video and Audio Chats, as well as private messaging. And rather than getting updates every 2 weeks, this Server will be dynamic with updates as they occur! Here we can learn so much, and find out where we might add value to the grand Holochain journey!
As elsewhere in our project we have envisaged three types of folks and created roles, channels, and resources to suit them all: Curious, Advocate, and Creator.
The Curious: Those who are new to Holo and Holochain and want to explore
The Advocates: Those who want to be contributors, regardless of technical abilities, and want to support the broader vision of Holo & Holochain.
The Creators: Individual developers, designers, etc., and/or those who want to build on their ideas to create Holochain applications, developer tools, libraries/zomes, and other Holochain projects.
Each Role will see different channels that flow with that role. We understand that you may decide to update your role depending on your interests over time! For example, folks who are Curious can get access to lots of great general information, but won’t have permission to chat unless and until they feel ready to become an Advocate. Creators will see database views that include developer tools and zomes, while Advocates will not…for example. If an Advocate has a yearning to start a Holochain Project in the next year, just let us know and we’ll change your status! Easy peasy!
Completing your onboarding survey will help us get you to the right starting place on our Server. And, as always, if you have any questions, just ping us and we’ll help you along!
We’ll also have links to our current “Requests for Support” Database from current Holochain Projects and Developer Groups. It will bridge us until we complete our Requests & Offers - HC/MVP in the coming months. The goal is to connect those who are Advocates with time, talents, and skills to support Holochain Projects that have needs while they are currently being built! (See more from a recent article!)
Knowing that the community is dynamic and that Curious can become Advocates and then Creators, much like we have, we want to reflect that journey too! Come check out our hAppenings community on Discord!

🌟 Upcoming Holochain Ecosystem Events:
Introduction to Valueflows, Thursday, Oct. 26, 10am-11am EDT, with Lynn Foster
Valueflows is the REA based vocabulary behind hREA. hREA is a Holochain-based backend for coordinating production, distribution, and exchange of economic resources within and across networks. This presentation will be targeted towards developers who want to build applications on top of hREA, but will be mostly conceptual, so could be appropriate for anyone who wants to understand the Valueflows / REA model. It will be recorded.
To register for this free event and to receive the Zoom link, write to Lynn at info@mikorizal.org.
