ATmosphereConf Follow Up: Feedback Wanted!
Give us feedback about ATmosphereConf, plus follow up links and upcoming regional meetups and conferences.
We're almost two weeks post ATmosphereConf Seattle and it's been so great to see the continued momentum and energy of the community that gathered.
We had 179 people registered for in-person full conference tickets, and 186 people registered for the livestream. A week before the conference, we had ~120 people registered, so excitement and FOMO definitely kicked in right at the end (including some who jumped on a plane Friday to come join us!)
We couldn't have pulled this off without the support of our sponsors – but as we said at the conference: the single largest financial supporter was all of you that paid for in person and livestream tickets!
Feedback Wanted
Here's the core of this post: we want your feedback! We've put together a short form that invites you to tell us about the venue, food, speakers, talks, group discussions, or anything else!
We're continuing to see great stuff rolling in on posts tagged with #ATmosphereConf – keep them coming! And feel free to add links to personal or press articles, some are on the wiki already.
Follow Ups
We've got a new ATProto Community Wiki up where notes and talk information is being filled out, and where you can find lots of key links from the conference, like the playlist of all recorded sessions:
Full playlist on YouTube @atprotocoldev. Thank you to Stream.place for an amazing job capturing the video.
There are a few links to emerging working groups, the community has helped by filling out sub pages for talks, and we'll get speaker slides and transcripts up over time.
The Community Developer Discord is a great place to start and ask questions, with a remember that none of this is run by Bluesky, and is the community volunteering to support each other.
More Events and Social Chat
Ahoy is happening in Europe on April 24th in Hamburg, Germany. Here are some of the speakers announced so far:
The Seattle ATProto group is in the lead (next event April 9th), having already met twice since the conference.
Boris happens to be in Toronto and is putting on ATProTO on April 14th, and then is kicking off the first Vancouver meetup.
Join the ATProto Social Events Discord (where the conference backchannel also was) to find local groups or plan one of your own! This is still pretty small and quiet, but it's absolutely there as a shared community resource for those that want to organize and meet in their area.
On behalf of the organizers, Boris, Ted, and Erik, thank you for trusting us by coming to this first event. Thank you to Chad, Georgia, Nat and Patrick for all of your volunteer support! Thank you to the speakers and discussion leads that joined us.
We hope you came away as inspired and energized as we all are, and we hope to see you connecting with your local and remote communities, experimenting, building, and doing more with all the projects happening across the ATmosphere!
