    About to fly to Belgium. Excited to meet the dev team in person and kickstart our collaboration with the City of Ghent to explore networked personal technologies that empower individuals to own and control their own place on the Internet. #personalweb #smartcitizens #indienet

        PS. I’ll be in Ghent all week. If there are any local ActivityPub, Node.js/JS, federation/decentralisation (not blockchain)-loving developers around, please do make yourselves known. Would be great to meet you.

        Laura and I are the external team (Ind.ie, our not for profit). We’re working in collaboration with an internal team that works for the city. Just kicking off. Will see how it works and evolve :)

        Have a nice stay, pretty sure some local "Gentenaar" will have you test their special beer (eg. Gruut) in a local pub (eg. Trollekelder) ! Ask out @pietercolpaert
