On Tuesday, May 28th, the [Seattle Ethereum Meetup invited us to present](https://blog.fission.codes/fission-seattle-ethereum-meetup-may-2019/). The venue was the very cool [Ada's Technical Books, in their Lab bar](https://thelab.adasbooks.com/the-lab-at-adas-data/).

Thanks to Megan, Joshua and everyone that helped out with the meetup, and to Ada's and [Gaudium Capital](https://gaudiumcapital.com) for sponsoring. The Seattle community is super welcoming and had great energy.

As well as talks, the evening featured burner wallets, and [Megan did a great write up of the event and onboarding people using these wallets](https://medium.com/@megan_knab/ethereums-newest-40-users-and-thoughts-on-the-next-10-000-a-quick-burner-wallet-case-study-2adb94212214).

First up was Kurt Barry from MakerDAO with a stablecoin primer, focusing on DAI, and then Boris and Brooke presented. We're experimenting with using [Notist for sharing our slide decks](https://noti.st/events/u3f9y1), and we've got brief overviews below.

## Open Source & Growing Ethereum

Boris presented on some of the history and basis of open source, and went on to describe the Ethereum Stack, Istanbul roadmap, and how to get involved.
