Starting a new IoT community – Interested?

Hey all!

I am starting a new IoT community on Spectrum Chat for IoT enthusiasts: https://spectrum.chat/internetofthings

I have been in this industry since last 7 years, and I feel the best what most IoT communities talk about is what basically most PR sites do. They don't really talk about important stuff in IoT like: - Mesh netowrks - Power optimization - Protocol tuning and algorithms - Design and development - Actionable information for business and development executives

I want to make a much, much better community for IoT. One, where we talk about really really actionable things that helps us all.

I am sick and tired of bad IoT communities! Would you help me create a better one?

I wonder where security have a place here...

What we've been able to see from the last IoT years is that security have been completely absent and nowhere to be found.

Even in f..ing "smart energy meters", which may be the most sensitive areas...

Do you have a goal to consider security as a major domain in this group ?

Also, after trying to subscribe to join, the fact that most major social networks only are allowed as a mean to subscribe is a real block.

Security is on top of my mind. I have dedicated a good part on hardware level and DLT based security implementations. This community would definitely have a lot on security. We won't just talk about security, we will build a community that will actually solve these challenges.
