You were invited to this one
Burning Man Project's engineering team invited every API key requestor personally. Seven-minute demos from software and hardware hackers — Playa Watch is exactly the kind of thing it exists for, and it is the one night the people who maintain the API you have been living inside are all in one place.
Event details →Burning Mesh meetup — Tue Sep 1, 2–4 PM
Meshtastic on the playa: off-grid mesh radios for exactly the group-coordination problem this app can't solve without hardware. JD (Playa Lion) is bringing 5+ nodes; there's a separate Burning Mesh Discord. Coffee and tea in Kaleidoscope's shaded zen tea house.
