Happy #HoloMonday everyone!

We're not really "number go up" folks, but a colleague shared this with the rest of the team today. It's year-to-date downloads of the `holochain` package. Great to see steady usage -- and this isn't the whole story.

📢 Holochain status update 29 Nov 2024

1. 🚢 The core dev team is prepping v0.3.6, a maintenance release that resolves an issue with a third-party library that's causing Holochain to sometimes fail to run on Windows and fail to compile on other systems.

We're finally having another Ecosystem Session! This time, it's with @hello_volla who have shipped a hApp on a consumer device that's in people's hands as we speak.

🌱 Today we're starting something new, an experiment -- regular mini-updates on the Holochain Foundation's priorities and progress. We'd love your feedback on these, so we can make them valuable for you.

The Holochain Foundation is tightening its focus on the features projects need today, working to make them robust and performant -- in short, production-ready. Read this post from @zippy314 for more of the story: http://blog.holochain.org/the-holochain-foundation-is-coming-of-age

A small but exciting update: Volla is now shipping their Quintus flagship smartphone with a Holochain-powered messaging app preinstalled. Downloadable desktop and Android versions to follow, as well as a Holochain-powered cloud backup app.

What a wonderful time at @Zebu_live!

Leading with the powerful use case of @Kwaxala, we were able to show how Holochain works on the ground, providing verification and provenance to data representing real things and events. 🧵

Protect and regenerate forests.
Empower Indigenous stewards.
Invest in living nature. 🧵

Crypto can be more than just numbers. It can be data that drives real change. 🌳🍃 @Zebu_live @kwaxala

We kicked off Day 1 at @Zebu_live chatting about how to move beyond PDFs! @kwaxala’s #peertopeer databases are ensuring data verification for carbon & ecosystem credits.

Here’s a great example of why our booth visitors are enthusiastic about the mission of @kwaxala!
