Subject: [projectvrm] Call for participation: Blockstack Summit 2015 - 
September 12 @ NYU

Blockstack (http://blockstack.org) is a community of developers coming 
together to work on common infrastructure for decentralized applications. 
We've discussed before on this list how the blockchain and similar 
decentralized technology can be used to promote user autonomy and give users 
control of their digital identity and personal data - Blockstack is where 
that rubber meets the road. If you're in or plan on being around the NYC area 
on September 12th, this is an event you will not want to miss. The full CFP 
is shared below.

Best regards,

John Light

Blockstack Summit 2015

September 12, 2015
D'Agostino Hall
New York University
108 W 3rd St
New York, NY

You are invited to participate in Blockstack Summit 2015, hosted by NYU 
Professor Dr. Lakshmi Subramanian at New York University in New York City on 
September 12, 2015. This is the first community event of Blockstack, a 
community whose mission is to create a common infrastructure stack for 
decentralized application development. This event will bring together 
researchers and developers from industry, academia, and open source projects 
to discuss topics such as:

Distributed hash tables
Blockchain scalability
Decentralized identity
Secure messaging
Smart contracts
Decentralized storage
Peer-to-peer reputation
Electronic voting
Blockstack governance
Peer-to-peer markets
Autonomous organizations

Event Overview

The first half of the day will be dedicated to five-minute Lightning Talks. 
You can see the list of Lightning Talks that have been scheduled at 
http://blockstack.org/summit.

The second half of the day will be spent in three workshop sessions with five 
tracks each, for a total of fifteen workshop discussions. The workshop agenda 
will be determined by attendees using an “unconference”
methodology the day of the event. Attendees will first propose topics during 
an agenda planning session, and then vote on which topics they wish to 
discuss. The top fifteen topics will be the ones which get discussed.

To close out the day, Blockstack Summit 2015 will host a Q&A panel moderated 
by Princeton Professor Dr. JP Singh and featuring Albert Wenger of Union 
Square Ventures, Jalak Jobanputra of Future/Perfect Ventures, Naval Ravikant
