As in the previous iteration, we are committed to keeping the residency accessible, and a big part of this is in heavily subsidising travel and accommodation. Any contribution goes a long way in making this possible: - OpenCollective: opencollective.com/community-priv… - Giveth campaign: giveth.io/project/commun…

Community Privacy Residency 2026 will be in Berlin, Germany! We are actively sourcing locations, partners, and funding for the next year.

(🧵2/2) We believe some of the most groundbreaking technological developments begin as illegible ideas, making writing even more important. We hope this blog translates some of the ethereal concepts that we’ve discovered in this space, and we also hope you join us on this journey!

(🧵1/2) We’re also kicking off the Community Privacy blog with this post from the organizers, which summarizes results from our residency and intentions with future posts! community-privacy.github.io/firstpost/

(🧵 3/3) Beyond projects that are publicly available on our site, our residents self-organized more than 22 workshops, discussion groups, paper-reading groups, lectures on technical concepts, and more over the span of 4 weeks. Stay tuned as we share more from our residency!

(🧵2/3) We brought together 43 community builders, writers, labor organizers, cryptographers, technologists, and more, to research, co-design, and build for community privacy -- creating safe spaces for de-centered communities to live, organize, and interact with others.
