Community Call Schedule for August 2024

Hello friends, another month brings another lineup of ThreeFold community calls.

Each call will be hosted as a video conference and reminders will be sent closer to the dates on our News Channel.


Discussion & Demo: GPU-Based AI Workloads
Tuesday Aug 06 @ 19:00 CEST | 13:00 EDT

By leveraging their massive parallel processing capabilities, GPUs enable AI applications to perform tasks like image recognition and natural language processing with increased speed, accuracy, and efficiency.

In this demo session, Scott and Mik will explore GPU-based AI workloads. They will present an easy-to-use method to work with AI on the grid using GPU. This will allow users to use advanced AI features such as image recognition and image generation.

Tentative: Community Discussion
Tuesday Aug 13 @ 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT

Pending enough interest from the community, we will hold a Q&A / two-way discussion. We will check in ahead of this date to pre-seed questions and discussion topics.

Discussion & Demo: Zero OS Hub & Flist
Tuesday Aug 20 @ 19:00 CEST | 13:00 EDT

In an flist, we separate the metadata from the data. The metadata is a description of what files are in that particular image – it’s the data providing information about the app/software. Thanks to flist, the 3Node doesn’t need to install a complete software program in order to run properly. Only the necessary files are installed.

In this demo session, Scott and Mik will present the Zero-OS Hub and Flist – an effective way to deal with software data, providing fast deployment and high reliability. They will explore how to create an flist from a Docker image and how to deploy a micro VM on the TF Grid using the flist.

Project Update
Thursday Aug 29th @ 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT

The team will update the community on their latest updates on strategy, tech development, partners, on-the-ground activities, and other such topics.


The upcoming calls will be added to the ThreeFold Events Calendar. If you have not added the calendar to your own, you can find out how to do so here.

We are looking forward to the upcoming line-up of calls and hope to see you there! As always, recordings will be shared ±1-2 days following each call.
