The #OMN Modding Process
We need to think different #OGB
The challenges of establishing a governance model for the #fedivers, which is a network of many stakeholders. Traditional open-source model of a benign king is not an option for the #fedivers, as there is no consensus among stakeholders for this approach.

Why would you be the right person to build the #OMN
The social change/challenge project of an organic intellectual is an act of love and a gift economy. Each toot and each hashtag is a gift.

The #geekproblem is based on feudalistic governance, kings, princes, nobals and pesents. This is why they like static sites, it’s native. I…
The #geekproblem mess we make of #openweb funding
#NGIzero #NGI #EU It’s important to remember in #openweb tech that most funding is poured directly down the drain, all value comes from #DIY culture which is always underfunded. Would be a good idea to try to rebalance this mess. And yes, we are not talking about the #dotcons mess, that’s another subject 😉 The…
Modeing horizontalists federated networks
The social change/challenge project of an organic intellectual
The social change/challenge project of an organic intellectual is an act of love, a gift economy, each toot, each hashtag is a gift. The #OMN hashtag story is designed to make people who (often unconsciously) worship the #deathcult (an obvious metaphor for #neoliberalism) and have internalized the last 40 years of (the dead philosophy) #postmodernism…
