+## Project Overview
 
-## Contribution Procedure
+The TF9 website is built using modern, efficient web technologies to ensure a seamless user experience. The stack includes:
+
+- **Zola**: A fast, static site generator designed for simplicity and performance.
+- **Tailwind CSS**: A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.
+- **JavaScript**: Enhancing interactivity and functionality on the website.
+- **Markdown**: Used for writing content in a simple and readable format, which Zola converts into HTML.
+- **HTML**: The backbone of the web pages, structuring the content and defining the layout of the website.
+
+## Installation
+
+To get started with the development environment, ensure that you have the following installed on your machine:
+
+1. **Zola**: [Installation Guide](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/)
+2. **Tailwind CSS**: [Installation Guide](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation)
+3. **Node.js & npm**: Required for managing JavaScript dependencies.
+
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Once these dependencies are installed, you can clone this repository and navigate into the project directory:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.ourworld.tf/tfcoop/www_tf9_new
+cd www_tf9_new
+
+```
+
+### Reviewing New Website Changes Locally
+
+#### Access the Terminal
+Within your code editor, open the terminal or command line interface. Make sure you are in the root directory of your website project in the terminal.
+
+#### Run the Build Script: 
+Type **./build.sh** in the terminal and press Enter. This script is responsible for building or compiling your website code and assets.
+
+#### Run the Start Script: 
+After the build process is complete, type **./start.sh** in the terminal and press Enter. This script typically starts a local development server.
+
+Wait for the Localhost URL: The start script will initiate a local development server, and it will display a localhost URL, such as **http://localhost:xxxx**, where xxxx is a port number. Wait for this URL to be generated.
+
+### Open the URL in Your Browser
+Once the localhost URL is generated, open your web browser and enter the provided URL (e.g., http://localhost:xxxx). This will display your website locally, allowing you to review the changes you made.
+
+## Contributing
+
+We welcome contributions from the community! To contribute:
+
+Create a new branch (git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name).
+Make your changes and commit them (git commit -m 'Add new feature').
+Push to the branch (git push origin feature/your-feature-name).
+Open a Pull Request.
+

+Florian represented ThreeFold and OurWorld on stage at the Network State Conference in Singapore last week, to share a powerful solution for any network state.
+
+<br>
+
+“We are building the infrastructure layer for Network State as a Service by combining a decentralized cloud running on bare metal with a digital free zone from where we can all exist freely.”
+
+<br>
+
+Florian explained that if we want to create “cloud-first’ network states, “we definitely don’t want to run them on Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud. Because privacy is power – and we need to own our digital life, and we need to own our data.”
+
+<br>
+
+“We built a network layer and platform where any community can deploy directly its own sovereign cloud.”
+
+<br>
+
+Take a look at Florian’s talk [here](https://www.youtube.com/live/OWEGg-ZTtSE?si=EukLJY9t0cO_8Ut9&t=14763).

-When Florian left Apple he was 30 years old. It was the toughest decision he had ever made. Why leave a career so many people dream of – an executive position in the global company? Being really happy working at Apple and part of an amazing young and dynamic team that had been built over the last few years to take care of the marketing for Latin America. Florian was feeling accomplished to be working for such a great organization. But years were passing by. One after the other. And the iPhone 6S was replacing the iPhone 6 and so on. Year after year. A machine you cannot stop. Technology is amazing. Really. But so much seemed at stake about how it could be used to improve people’s lives and how they could really connect to each other.Florian feelt deep inside that working on the tools was not enough, and that he needed to work on the content and give it a different usage. He had to follow his heart and intuition. We will bring new ways of living together, relating, moving, consuming, taking care of each other and working in a more sustainable way, by unpicking current scenarios and anticipating future perspectives. The vision is always the same - to enact individual actions that address global challenges.
