Join the Interledger Community Calls

Interledger Community Calls are running every 2 weeks. The last one was this week, and the next one is happening on August 18th, 2021. If you've missed them so far, you can catch up on Soundcloud.

They are a place to catch up on the projects that build on the Interledger protocol (like Rafiki), get news and help from the people involved with the Interledger ecosystem. As Web Monetization is one of the core use-cases that Interledger enabled, I would love if people here would get involved with the community call.

I've seen some amazing grant reports in this community, and the community call has a new format that showcases project building on the Interledger network. I'd love it if people in this community, especially the ones working on Interledger-related projects, could join the community call and showcase their projects.

Agenda and details for next call are open, hope to see you there!

Hello everyone, I'm Alex Lakatos, but most people around the world call me "Laka". I'm the new Tech Lead joining the Interledger Foundation. And I'm super excited about that!

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and get to know the Web Monetization community a little bit better.

With a background in Open Web technologies and FinTech, the idea of helping make payments on the web as easy as the internet was extremely appealing. So I'm super excited to join the Interledger world, helping build an open and inclusive payments network that puts humanity first!

Moving forward, I'm going to head the Steering Committee for the Interledger Protocol and try to help standardize the specs for Web Monetization, Payment Pointers and Web Payments.

It's my second week here at the Interledger Foundation, and I'm still finding my way around the ecosystem. And the documentation. As the people who've worked with Web Monetization and the Interledger Protocol recently, I'd love to hear your feedback about the current gaps in the ecosystem, or the docs, or anything really that you'd like to share.

You can reach me on the Interledger Slack, Twitter or even better yet, you can leave your feedback in the comments section below!
