| * [**Lisbon**](//github.com/ipfs/community/issues/103): [@diasdavid](//github.com/diasdavid) hosted a Lisbon IPFS Sunday Hack Day this week. | ||
| * [**Coffee Talks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL9siwm03H4): [@whyrusleeping](//github.com/whyrusleeping) has hosted another "Coffee Talk", this time on [gx](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx), the IPFS package manager. |

Typo. Missing the closing ** after Coffee Talks

|
||
| * [**js-ipfs**](//github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs): [@diasdavid](//github.com/diasdavid) created js-ipfs-merkle-dag and js-ipfs-blocks, which will help IPFS deal with MerkleDAGs and are extensible enough to allow others to build their own MerkleDAG structures. Also, js-ipfs is now able to import a file into the MerkleDAG, an important milestone. An architecture graph has been spec'ed out [here](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs#ipfs-core-implementation-architecture) to help newcomers understand how js-ipfs works. Finally, lots of new issues and low-hanging fruit have been tagged for [contributors to tackle](//github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues). |

the repo names should be links

MerkleDAG could be either a link or have a footnote to the spec

This Looks good to me. |
6 tasks
|
Seeing as how I sent the last weekly out on Monday morning, I am going to wait until Thursday to merge and post this. No need to get too hasty. |
|
You could add that i went through all of the go-ipfs pull requests and closed old ones, merges ones that were ready, and pinged the others for an update. |
|
one more to add:
|
|
@whyrusleeping there are several RFM PRs in the pipeline. |
|
searching twitter for Conferences:
- IPFS was presented at the last [Desert Blockchain](https://twitter.com/DesertBlockHack) miniconference: https://twitter.com/DesertBlockHack/status/693520940504784896
Tools:
- There was an unfortunate GitHub outage and many people started using IPFS to move around their repos, with @whyrusleeping's simple [git-ipfs-rehost](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/git-ipfs-rehost) [view on ipfs](fixme) and @cryptix's excellent [git-remote-ipfs](https://github.com/cryptix/git-remote-ipfs) [view on ipfs](fixme).
- @pipermerriam created [ipfs-persistence-consortium](https://github.com/pipermerriam/ipfs-persistence-consortium) to create networks of IPFS nodes which persist each other's content. This is similar to @victorbjelkholm's [pincoop](https://github.com/victorbjelkholm/pincoop). Perhaps there can be some cooperation in these efforts? :sunglasses:
- The [FullNode](https://github.com/MrChrisJ/fullnode) Project -- which includes IPFS, Tor, Bitcoin, OpenVPN and more -- [is having a crowdfund](https://www.startjoin.com/protip2) -- go get one! Thanks for making it @MrChrisJ!
Other (not sure what to categorize these):
- It's [Ralph Merkle's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Merkle) birthday today. Happy Birthday, Ralph! :cake: :birthday:
- Our friends at [Mine](http://mine.nyc) are using IPFS for the excellent [Mediachain metadata protocol](https://medium.com/mine-labs/introducing-mediachain-a696f8fd2035) ([protocol proposal here](https://medium.com/mine-labs/mediachain-483f49cbe37a#.h6wrzm3ze)), a protocol to track media creation, attribution, and more. They have published [several great articles](https://medium.com/mine-labs?source=logo-lo_8f8cb62ab817-6838e0c89092) about it. This week @denisnazarov wrote about [The GIF That Fell To Earth](https://medium.com/mine-labs/the-gif-that-fell-to-earth-eae706c72f1f#.s0c7x59he), and @parkan gave a [Developer Update](https://medium.com/mine-labs/mediachain-developer-update-i-911c9e7a4524#.zc984cqen) that discusses [pHash](http://www.phash.org/), [IPLD](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/blob/ipld-spec/merkledag/ipld.md), and more.
- @lexansoft created a new Ethereum name registrar called [EtherID](http://etherid.org) ([repo here](https://github.com/lexansoft/etherid.org)), which uses IPFS for storing users' content. Then [@btsfav](https://twitter.com/btsfav) wrote an article about [Personal Websites on EtherID with IPFS](http://favs.pw/time-for-some-interplanetary-etheral-magic/)

IPFS Weekly for January 25th Sprint
|
Hey there, thanks for doing this. Is there any reason to use gateway.ipfs.io instead of ipfs.io? |
|
When you are making CNAME? Yes, ipfs.io has SAO, MX, dnslink and some more records, gateway.ipfs.io is pure. So when you are using DNS CNAME to gateway.ipfs.io, for just making links use ipfs.io. |
