The brother who asked first 🎻
The first DIP in Devcon history
The Open Source Orchestra tradition was born at ETH Prague 2022 — and on June 17, 2022, Matteo carried it to paper: he submitted the first music DIP ever proposed for a Devcon — "Music Sessions | Open Mic Stage" for Devcon 6 Bogotá. His argument was simple and right: jamming live amongst devs, product managers and community leaders creates bonds no whitepaper can — and "many many devs are actually f**king good musicians." The Music Space exists because he asked for it first.
The lineage he seeded now runs to DIP #8576 — the Music Space at Devcon 8, Mumbai, Nov 3–6 2026.
