I have been able to attend a few sessions of the Seattle ATmosphere working sessions that are being hosted by Seattle Community Network. Its been a fun time getting to discuss the network and the needed sections with other engineers.
I've moved my overall plan to hosting my own PDS/Relay/Appview so I can be nearly independent. The appview will most likely be a soft fork of a webapp that I can hopefully help contribute too but host my own copy for security. For the relay, I am looking at the rsky-relay (pronounced risky) that was made by Blacksky Algorithms for my relay as I think it will also best fit into the OSS model I can contribute too.
With Tangled.sh and other appviews beginning to show more features and users I think we will see a good adoption of the ATProto within the tech community for the next few years.
