## Summary

The IPFS ecosystem is moving toward a commons-based model, with many separate companies, foundations and funding partners, and an ETH Denver event invites people to help support and govern large public projects such as the ipfs.io public gateway and the Kubo IPFS node codebase. Adin Schmahmann of IPFS Shipyard, an IPFS Core Maintainer, is scheduled to present on Shipyard's "New Chapter" and other initiatives. A facilitated discussion hosted by Boris Mann, Founder of Fission, will follow, covering questions such as what a "mainnet" means, who will support running ipfs.io, and what the takedown rules for the main gateway should be. Attendees must join a waitlist and write a custom message to be accepted.

## Article

​This year, the IPFS and extended ecosystem is graduating to a more commons based approached, with many separate companies, foundations, and funding partners.

​At ETH Denver we want to introduce the changes, and invite people to take part in supporting and governing large public commons projects like the ipfs.io public gateway, and the Kubo IPFS node codebase.

​We will have a presentation by Adin Schmahmann from IPFS Shipyard, IPFS Core Maintainer, to introduce IP Shipyard's New Chapter and other existing and upcoming initiatives.

​We will follow with a discussion of IPFS as Commons, welcoming IPFS operators, dapp builders, blockchain ecosystems, and others interested in the future of the IPFS commons. This will be a facilitated discussion and Q&A, hosted by Boris Mann, Founder of Fission.

​*** Please DO add yourself to the waitlist if you'd like to join us, and write a custom message with your questions or feedback to get accepted. ***
