Aloha, welcome to Uqbar’s weekly rollup. Every Monday we’ll provide you with exciting updates on everything Uqbar: dev reports, media mentions, and general happenings around the Urbit ecosystem.

• Another week, another hit episode of The Network Age. Join the boys as they chat with Tlon Engineering Manager Theodore Blackman (~rovnys-ricfer) about all the ways Urbit is blowing our minds. From Assembly to Holium to Uqbar itself, this is a can’t miss episode for any and all Urbit fans.

• It’s conference season and Uqbar is making the rounds. While nothing could live up to Assembly, venerable Outreach Director ~hocwyn-tipwex will be at Devcon in Bogotá this week drinking aguardiente and ranting about composability. Later in the month, he’ll join Uqbar Founder ~timluc-miptev and Content Hog ~bichul-ritsen at Eth Lisbon for some port and a good hang. If you’re going to be at either event, make sure to reach out and say hello.

• Assembly Capital has released %radio, an app for sharing video or audio streams with your friends. Act as DJ by typing !play followed by a video or audio URL—naked file formats or sites like YouTube and Vimeo work fine—and the file will play on a loop until another !play command is entered. %radio also includes group chat and a !talk feature. Shoutout to ~bacwyl-samweg for his hooning. Install with the following command: |install ~nodmyn-dosrux %radio

• ~bacwyl-samweg is also responsible for another piece of Urbit genius. Temple O Chess, built in the style of Terry Davis’ Temple OS, brings 640 x 480 p2p chess to Urbit. Install by searching for: ~ropmer-nosnux-bacwyl-samweg

*Another busy week for the Uqbar team—check out some of their accomplishments: *

• Urbit’s OG podcast, The Stack has released a new episode in which Renaissance man ~habsul-rignyr and grappling master ~libhut-samwes discuss the Sovereign Smarthome with esteemed Urbit Foundation grant recipient ~pilwyc-fastec. Come for the carefully crafted opening monologue, stay for the less carefully crafted conversation.
