+I've put together a [[Polar]] open source funding page for [[11ty Second Brain]]. The goal is to build a great Eleventy Second Brain experience, that pairs with [[Obsidian]] as a Markdown editor, and integrates with LLM usage.

+I'm totally energized from talking to [Jesse Sugarman of Osito](https://www.osito.ca/). Osito hosted [[Minimum Viable Demos]] and we'll be having the [LOCALHOST Thursday social](https://lu.ma/b9p075ag) there.

+I toured Jesse around [[Z-Space]] and we talked about the art / tech / music scene locally, and how we can support it and work together. Good vibes!

+An [[Eleventy]] powered second brain that is optimized to be used alongside of [[Obsidian]] and your own [[Local AI]].
+
+It's also an excuse to try out the [[Polar]] open source funding platform for real.
+
+## First Post
+
+I used the update / blog / newsletter feature of Polar to write an [initial post](https://polar.sh/11ty-SecondBrain/posts/11ty-powered-second-brain). You can use the "Follow" subscription tier to get updates by email.
+

+
+Hi! I'm [Boris Mann](https://bmannconsulting.com/) and I've been blogging for almost 25 years. It's time to go all in on JavaScript and Markdown, powered by the Eleventy static site generator and it's all JS pipeline.
+
+And, to build the combination blog and second brain foundation that includes and acknowledges LLMs as part of workflows. --- The words I've written, exported, imported, transformed, and ported between platforms have survived most durably as plaintext files.
+
+These days, they're written mostly in Markdown, often using Obsidian, LogSeq, or TiddlyWiki, or even just my VS Code editor.
+
+I've written and re-written my personal site over the years, and have been stuck in the combo of Liquid templates and Ruby-powered Jekyll. Every new OS release means figuring out how to get nokogiri to compile correctly.
+
+And, my entire archive of 1000s of notes makes Jekyll preview builds take forever, especially when I'm also generating graph interconnections that power visualizations and backlinks between pages.
+
+So, rather than bouncing between Markdown, YAML, Liquid, Jekyll, and Ruby, the goal is to have everything in Markdown, powered by [11ty](https://www.11ty.dev/), which uses JS for everything.
+
+And LLM support? Well, thanks to lots of discussions (especially with [@heyellieday](https://x.com/heyellieday), I think the giga-brain option here is that these tools can mix everything into and out of Markdown really easily.
+
+I also wanted an excuse to try out Polar "for real". I've created an empty repo, seeded it with a few issues, and setup some options for getting involved. Sound interesting? Start by following the newsletter here, browse the issues, and write up your own "wishlist" features.
+
+If you're an experienced 11ty and/or JavaScript developer, have a look at which of the issues you might want to tackle.

+Internet Engineering Task Force
+
+> The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), founded in 1986, is the premier standards development organization (SDO) for the Internet. The IETF makes voluntary standards that are often adopted by Internet users, network operators, and equipment vendors, and it thus helps shape the trajectory of the development of the Internet. But in no way does the IETF control, or even patrol, the Internet.
+> -- [About the IETF](https://www.ietf.org/about/introduction/)
+
+## Mission
+
+Quoting from [RFC 3935: A Mission Statement for the IETF](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc3935):
+
+> _"the overall goal of the IETF is to make the Internet work better."_  
+> _"Its mission is to produce high quality, relevant technical and engineering documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet in such a way as to make the Internet work better. These documents include protocol standards, best current practices, and informational documents of various kinds."_
+
+The Mission Statement further states that the Internet isn't value-neutral, and neither is the IETF. The IETF wants the Internet to be useful for communities that share our commitment to openness and fairness. The IETF embraces technical concepts such as decentralized control, edge-user empowerment and sharing of resources, because those concepts resonate with the core values of the IETF community. These concepts have little to do with the technology that's possible, and much to do with the technology that the IETF chooses to create.
