Good morning! Officially announcing #TrainJam this morning: what if we did a software retreat and put it on a train?

Runs Sept 18th leaving from Seattle and arrives the night before #StrangeLoop in St Louis

We’ve got Gradient Retreat https://www.gradientretreat.com/ supporting this experience, and myself and the @causalislands @fission crew are helping organize.

Yes, local first software, future of computing, and DWeb of all kinds are strong themes. But take it as a mini retreat to hack on whatever you like.

About half of the seats are booked already.

Some of the people committed so far are @avi, @jack @akkartik and a handful of others I don’t have accounts to tag 😆

We’ve got some background #TrainJam notes on the @fission wiki if you want to brainstorm or have questions https://talk.fission.codes/t/trainjam-2023/4789 — or tag me here
