# Welcome to the IPFS Weekly. 👋

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) (opens new window) is a new hypermedia distribution protocol, addressed by content and identity. IPFS enables the creation of completely distributed applications. It aims to make the web faster, safer, and more open. Since that’s a pretty large scope, we track development across the ecosystem in this weekly dispatch.

Looking to get involved? Click on some of the links below, see what we’re up to on GitHub (opens new window), or join us on IRC (opens new window).

Here are some of the highlights since the last IPFS Weekly.

# The latest

  • We’re excited to announce the inaugural IPFS Camp, a three-day hacker retreat for the creators and builders of the distributed web. Join us on June 27-20th at the amazing Campus La Mola in Barcelona for an action-packed program of workshops, talks and deep dives on everything IPFS. More information, including registration, will be available on the IPFS blog soon (opens new window)!
  • IPFS Cluster version 0.9.0 (opens new window) comes with one big new feature, OpenCensus support! Happy Measured Pinning!
  • Last week, the IPFS research team released a paper on Merkle-CRDTs (opens new window), that is, CRDTs backed by Merkle-DAGs. The paper formalizes what the team calls a Merkle-Clock (a logical clock) and goes on to describe Merkle-CRDTs as CRDTs on Merkle-Clocks.
  • Introducing IPFS Stash (opens new window) — Local IPFS for everyone created during #ETHDenver2019.
  • Update dnslink TXT records in Cloudflare with dnslink-cloudflare (opens new window).
