OPO.js meetup #9: Wrapping Up 👋
Took us a while, but we’re finally wrapping up OPO.js #9, the latest meetup of the Porto JavaScript Community. Here’s a 1 minute recap of the event 🙌
This one brought us a couple of out of the box topics, around Open Source Software politics, and P2P networking, which generated a lot of discussion from the 120 attendees.
Pizza.js 🍕
After the amazing success of last Pizza.js, we decided to keep it and, once again, served pizza for over 100 people 🤯🍕🔥
Once again, a smashing success, generating lots of impromptu conversation, and getting people ready for a party evening 😎
Book giveaways 🎁
This time, our book giveaway focused on browser networking, in line with the themes our speakers brought to us. Be sure to follow us around the web to participate on these giveaways!
The talks 🗣
Although we don’t want to be too political, with everything happening around the web, the topics of Open Source Software politics and P2P networking are as hot as ever, with many projects succeeding or failing due to their policies and underlying technological principles.
Be sure to watch our speakers’ talks to get to know a bit more on these themes.
Vasco Santos brought us “A decentralised world with libp2p”, in which he shows us some of the potential of libp2p, and how you can use it to develop your own custom p2p protocols.

Victor Bjelkholm brought us “Building the ideal service for Free & Open-source Software”, in which he covers a framework for designing Free & Open Source Software services, and a reference project that’s being built on it, a JavaScript Community Owned package manager.

Porto Tech & Creative calendar 🗓
Another topic we talked about at OPO.js, was the monthly calendar of creative and tech events in Porto.
We send out a newsletter with all key events in Porto every month, so you don’t have to follow a thousand different pages. You’re welcome!
If you want to follow the calendar, be sure to join the newsletter.
That’s it, folks. This was the last meetup before the Summer break, see you when we’re all tanned, either from the warm sun, or the bright LCD screen 😎 Stay tuned for more.
