What Was Urbit Assembly Lisboa 2023?
Urbit Assembly Lisboa 2023 took place in Lisbon, Portugal, on 28 October 2023. The gathering brought together protocol developers, Hoon programmers, and independent-computing advocates for a day of talks on personal servers and data ownership at one of Europe's most open-minded coastal tech cities. The official site is the Urbit event page. Urbit protocol overview describes it as a personal computing network built from clean-slate principles.
