On Thursday, March 6th from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC, Solid Practitioners will host an online meeting on decentralized software in relation to transportation services. We've invited domain experts in transportation and mobility as well as from a variety of software approaches including apps based on Solid as well as apps based on BECKN, DataSwift, and Apache Wallet. The issue of transportation touches on many important social issues - it relates to sustainable consumption and climate change, to disability and mobility, and to poverty in that it provides access to food, work, and other necessities. The gig economy has been quick to provide apparently decentralized services like AirBnB, Uber, and Grubhub which decentralize the workforce but centralize the cash and control. These services may or may not protect the privacy of the end user or the driver and may or may not deal with issues like disability or sustainability. The open source and decentralized software movements have started to provide truly socially aware and decentralized services. Come share your ideas about how Solid can play a role.
