Next week we are going to have the second meeting of the Munich IPFS user group.
The topic this time is IPFS deep dives. The first meeting was a general introduction about what IPFS is and what services it provides. This time the topic is how it does that. DHT, network and routing layers.
This should give you a pretty good idea what it entails to run an IPFS node and should prevent nasty surprises such as getting an abuse notification from your cloud provider 
So anybody in southern Germany or Austria, please drop by. JetBrains has kindly offered to host the meetup in their very nice venue. They are also going to provide food and drinks.
As far as I know the talks will also be recorded. I will post a link here after the Meetup if that is indeed the case.
