The #4opens is a framework for evaluating technology projects that are based on open data, open source, open standards, and open process. * Open data refers to the availability of data to the public, free of charge and without any restriction on its use. This is considered a basic requirement for a project to be…
A conversation about money and the #openweb
A conversation with the #NGO side of social technology: A. Just booked my place for ePIC next month in Lille. It’ll be my first time on the Eurostar! https://epic.openrecognition.org A decade ago, it was the first conference I went to as Mozilla’s Badges & Skills lead. Time flies. #OpenBadges #VerifiableCredentials #ePortfolios #conference #travel Q. these…
Have 2 #openweb videos to make
Have 2 videos scripts to do: * The #OGB why, what, were * The hashtag story, using all the tags to show the current mess and paths auta it. While defining each tag. This is a challenge. The script needs to end up as something like this https://visionon.tv/w/jqTdss1qrdk4yEZiQsnMU3 So looking for a list of bullet…
The fediverse is an “accidental” openweb reboot
The #fediverse is an “accidental” #openweb reboot by the #fashernistas, so it’s herding cats to get anything done, not a bad thing, not a good thing It’s what it is. One way to move away from this mess is #OGB grassroots #DIY producer governance. Otherwise, live (and die) with the mess, and try to stop…
How to fix the damege to the #openweb from the influx of #mainstreaming funding
We start with the assumption that 90-100% of funding on this subject is simply pored down the drain, most of it into pointless NGO projects and #fashernista individuals “careers”. The best #openweb funders I have found recently https://nlnet.nl/ who have money from NGI Zero which is from the EU https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens/wiki/Funding-of-openweb-projects To fix some of these…
Invisible agenda on the #openweb
A. #NGIforum21 #NGI #EU It’s not “usability” its “control” – the #dotcons are built for control the #eurocrates need, the #openweb tools which work fine is for people to people. The #openweb tools do not have the control that the #Eurocrats need to move onto our tools and be a part of our community. This…
Lets rate funding for openweb projects
Can use different ideas, am starting with left/right. If you would like to use a different agenda please open a new page and go for it. We start with the assumption that 90-100% of funding on this subject is simply pored down the drain, most of it into pointless NGO projects and #fashernista individuals “careers”…
Misunderstanding – Out reaching the #OMN #openweb projects.
I start to understand the misunderstanding, blocking many of the people outreaching the #OMN. It’s a DIY project there is the assumption that people will see the need and fill in the missing bits. The “missing bits” have a function, to be filled in otherwise we would be pushing clean non-messy #dotcons world view which…
Been takeing part in online #openweb events – and resisting the urge to bite people.
Looking at this event https://2021.ngiforum.eu Way to meany stuffed shirts, technological fantasists (blockchain) and a lot of #EU money what could go wrong… Spent a hour looking through the list of participants opening in new tab all that said something interesting. Of these more than 2/3’s had the tag blockchain so closed them, and then…
Knight foundation and its impact on grassrots media and the #openweb
Dropped into the events for this https://knightcolumbia.org/events/reimagine-the-internet if you won’t an example of pouring hundreds of millions of $$$ down the drain the Knight foundation is it. This is normal, but by doing this they shaped the agender of the #openweb for the last 10 years, this is a problem, a BIG problem, they need…
#mainstreaming #openweb standerds to the #EU
I have been working with a group based around the activitypub socialhub to outreach the #fedivers and #activitypub standard to the #EU in seminars you can see the video recording in this post. Looking like the #EU will trial a few fedivers apps as tools for communication. ActivityPub For Administrations (with chat) 2021-04-19 This is…
#indymediaback is a #openweb project of consensus based radical grassroots journalism
The #IMC project is an affinity group – so we are planing to work through consensus and diversity of strategy to move the project past where it was ripped apart by internal stresses after 10 years of running as a successfully worldwide radical grassroots media project. To do this we have a #nothingnew policy beyond…
