This is exactly the kind of initiative that needs sustained support from a range of orgs and networks. If we want it, we have to build it together.

So excited for this!! The idea for Aster was sparked in conversations in Vancouver at @atmosphereconf.org and now after a few months we're launching it! It's a real labor of love - grateful to be part of the wonderful team spanning @modalfoundation.eurosky.social @eurosky.social @atproto.science

We're so excited to see the arrival of Aster ID as a home for researchers on the open web and to welcome them to the @modalfoundation.eurosky.social family. Very lucky that we've been able to support their tech stack at Eurosky πŸ’–

The modern research ecosystem of online tools and communities is controlled by for-profit companies. But we think that researchers should be the priority - not the product. So, we're announcing Aster ID: not-for-profit Atmosphere account hosting for researchers.

Aster is being built by a team of researchers around the world, stemming from the @atproto.science initiative.

Legally and fiscally, we’re hosted by Dutch non-profit @modalfoundation.eurosky.social. Modal have been a tremendous help, and our shared goals and values are perfect for this project.

Because of the power of Atmosphere accounts, there are so many apps you can benefit from as a researcher.

For science, over 30 apps and tools for publishing (e.g. @leaflet.pub ), networking (e.g. @sifa.id), or curating knowledge (e.g. @semble.so) will all be compatible with your Aster ID.

What does that mean for you?

Your Bluesky account is actually an β€˜Atmosphere’ account. Atmosphere accounts can access dozens of different apps, but the data you enter into these apps is always owned by your account - not the app!

Aster ID is like @eurosky.social's PDS, but for researchers.

Thrilled that Aster.id has launched, and very happy for the Modal Foundation to be supporting in an incubation role. modalfoundation.leaflet.pub/3mwqgvxl5a22a

Announcing our collaboration with aster.id; a new home for researchers on the open web. It will host research-focused applications, infrastructure and communities that use AT Protocol.

I'm excited to announce that the PLC Organization now has a statute! And a bank account! And a @standard.site publication! All the important stuff.

The PLC Org is an independent Swiss Association meant to operate the PLC directory, which collects and distributes signed updates to atproto accounts.

I wrote four pieces about the Atmosphere, in Japanese, from Japan. They are now in English too.

Behind the Blue Sky (how it works). The Wider Sky (51 services). Why It Does Not Reach (a count). Left Unbuilt (52 stalled proposals).

And we're thrilled to have Roomy as part of the expanding Modal family! More soon on how all this plays out; we're just at the beginning of the journey.
