Brew Build #1 [PeerTube + BIPOCxLGBT Discussion]

​FediCollective's goal is to build a warm and diverse community. No question is too small. No idea is too silly. This is a place where we all help each other learn and grow.

Your host Crissy Geco loves coffee, cats, and connecting people together! She believes the future of the internet should be in our hands, not controlled by big tech companies.

BRIDGES NOT WALLS
Brew & Build is a Data-Driven Collab: a low-pressure 3rd space — think coffee shop, not conference room — where creatives and data folks can mingle, share ideas, and organically form teams.

​The ultimate goal is to fuse the empathy of creative design with the rigor of data science to build the next generation of social platforms. It's about building a better internet, one coffee and brilliant conversation at a time!
