Fission is running a month long series of Decentralized Web Meetups all around Europe.

The goal is to bring together both those already working on decentralized web topics, as well as introduce a broad set of developers to what is possible today, and showcase projects and tech tools for developers to use.

In Amsterdam, we are pleased to have many partners joining us, including the Blockchain NL Foundation, the amazing connector Berit Fuss of mistudio, and our venue sponsors, Blockchain Village @ Startup Village.

Decentralized Mapping, Bèr Kessels

Maps are a crucial element for many apps and startups. But maps are hard to make, expensive and very centralised. Even open source projects like Open Street Map are very much centralised, and therefore easily censored. As a developer working on decentralised applications, you'll want to have access to decentralised maps as well.

In this talk, we'll walk through the current state of the online mapping tools. And dive into the various projects that make mapping, data-collection or -contributing for maps, decentralised.

Bèr Kessels is founder and developer of PlaceBazaar, one of the projects that aims to decentralise mapping. The placebazaar code is mirrored to github on https://github.com/placebazaar/. You can find Bèr and all his social links on keybase https://keybase.io/berkes_
