At these events, many projects have been represented, such as SOLID, Matrix, IPFS, GUN, Secure Scuttlebutt, and LibreRouter. (A lot more than this, really)

In 2018, a CCG work item was represented, the BTCR DID Method (Christopher Allen, Kim Hamilton Duffy); as was DIF's Universal Resolver (Markus Sabadello):
