Privacy, Veilid, And You - Christien 'DilDog' Rioux

This presentation is a high-level but technical overview of the Cult Of The Dead Cow's latest effort, Veilid. First, some history of cDc, its members, and our efforts in the security and privacy space will be discussed. Second, we will review where we are today and where Veilid Foundation would like to see things go in the next decade. Third, we will discuss the roadmap of Veilid, a peer-to-peer privacy-oriented application development framework, and how you can help. The discussion of Veilid will be technical and focused on our current implementation, its requirements and shortcomings, recent innovations, as where things need to go for the project to succeed.
