John Solly: EASIER Data Initiative: Decentralizing Geospatial Data for Efficient, Accessible, and Sustainable Infrastructure

Open access policies for publicly funded geospatial data from government and academic institutions are not fully realized due to the reliance on central providers that maintain control over pricing, the authenticity of data, and the protocols for dissemination. This calls into question the sustainability of these important resources and suggests that research and collaboration are hindered by the current centralized paradigm. In contrast, decentralized infrastructure for geospatial data could result in fewer data silos, increased trust, and the democratization of data stewardship.

This would enable easier collaboration between researchers, universities, and governments while providing citizens with unrestricted access to open data. In response, The EASIER Data Initiative aims to leverage the decentralized web for sharing geospatial data more efficiently, accessibly, and sustainably. The Initiative has made one year of Landsat 9 data (300 TB) available on Filecoin and accessible through IPFS, to demonstrate how this can help remove barriers to access.

Additionally, the Initiative is exploring solutions for integrating existing geospatial technologies with web2, as well as Data DAOs for collaborative data stewardship. To promote collaboration, we established the Decentralized Geospatial Web Working Group (dGWWG) and invite interested parties to join the community and participate in the development of the decentralized geospatial web. More information is available on the EASIER Data Initiative website (https://easierdata.org/) and our Twitter account (@easierdataorg).

Matt Hamilton: Programatically Creating Storage Deals on the Filecoin Virtual Machine

The Filecoin Virtual Machine, FVM, solidifies Filecoin as the L1 that uniquely powers the open data economy. In this talk, we will explore how to programatically create storage deals on the Filecoin network using smart contracts.

We will start by discussing the basics of the Filecoin network and its architecture. Then, we will dive into the Filecoin storage deal flow and the role of different parties in the process. This will include understanding the responsibilities of clients, and storage providers in creating and verifying storage deals.

We will then demonstrate how to create a complete local Filecoin network on your laptop, allowing you to experiment with the storage deal creation process. This will involve setting up a testnet, creating and funding wallets, and deploying smart contracts.

Finally, we will walk through the steps of using smart contracts to create storage contracts on the Filecoin network. This will include deploying an example contract that creates a storage deal and monitoring its progress on the blockchain.

By the end of this talk, attendees will have a solid understanding of the Filecoin storage deal flow and the ability to create storage contracts using smart contracts. They will also have the tools to experiment with the Filecoin network locally, enabling them to further explore this exciting new technology.

Chelsea Manning and the Struggle for Digital Privacy

Chelsea Manning doesn’t just espouse the cypherpunk ethos that inspired the creation of cryptocurrency; she has lived it. The activist, whistleblower and former intelligence analyst learned firsthand the power, and limitations, of privacy-preserving technologies when she leaked U.S. military documents – and served nearly seven years in prison. Manning reflects on the state of government and corporate surveillance and the technological, political and cultural changes required to combat it.
