@pkafei you got your email wrong again. I'm starting to think that you are just trolling me :)


2. After your talk has been confirmed, prepare a slides for your talk. Your presentation should be approximately 15-20 minutes long.

3. On the day of the talk you will be given a zoom link. Sign on to zoom and be prepared to speak after announcements.

### Topics that We're Looking for:

[IPFS ALL Hands Call October 22, 2018](https://youtu.be/iEagJfB8AvM)
* Any direct work with any of the IPFS APIs (i.e. [go-ipfs](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs), [js-ipfs](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs)

* Building technologies that support IPFS, like [IPLD](https://github.com/ipld/js-ipld)

* Applications such as [Peer Star App](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/peer-star-app) that is built on top of IPFS

* Distributed applications where IPFS is part of the development stack, see [OpenBazaar](https://openbazaar.org/blog/openbazaar-2018-roadmap/)

* IPFS used to build alternative decentralized applications that [directly address societal problems](https://observer.com/2017/05/turkey-wikipedia-ipfs/))

It would be better if these were actual the talk tiles and speakers rather than just saying IPFS All Hands Call

We didn't start having talks until November. I'm going to leave IPFS ALL Hands Call title for Youtube videos that used the old format.
