Hello and welcome to another edition of This Month in Solid!

Solid is a set of open specifications, built on existing open standards, that describes how to build applications in such a way that users can conveniently switch between data storage providers and application providers and take the data generated along.

This is a monthly summary of Solid progress.

Want something mentioned? Contact the Solid Manager at info@solidproject.org. This Month in Solid is openly developed on GitHub. If you find any errors in this month’s issue please submit a pull request.

Weekly Solid Call

Every Thursday there is an hour long public call where newcomers can introduce themselves, anyone can ask general questions about Solid, and we recap the weeks works on Solid.

The next Solid Weekly will be at 1600 CEST on the 24th October on this line where Michiel de Jong will be giving a special introduction to Solid app development. Press

This week you read about and come and see talks on Solid here:

Have you seen any articles or talks about Solid this week? If you’ve seen any talks, articles, or written blog posts about Solid please do send them over for next week. Solid Events are run by people like you. If you are interested in organising a Solid Event in your city reach out on info@solidproject.org.

Standardisation

Read more about the scope of the standardisation work being carried out by panellists and editors between now and the 19th December here. Contributions are welcome.

There are no updates from the editors on the standardisation work this week.

Solid Implementations

The Node Solid Server 5.2.0 was released. This includes a new version of the Solid Data Browser and a much needed fix to the handling of content-types.

If you have any new apps, Pods, or identity providers, or there are updates to existing Solid implementations, make sure to add them to the list so they get included in next week’s edition.

Until next week!
