Q. In a nutshell, my manifesto could be “form your own little communities and federate them” A. What would be the “common” understanding/agreements/standards that would bridge these communities, or would it Only be code, if only code what standards? Q. Federation just depends upon the willingness to do so. The code is just the plumbing…
How to fix the damage to the #openweb from the influx of #mainstreaming funding
The issue around funding and its impact on grassroots and radical projects. The balance between maintaining integrity and openness while navigating external funding is a difficult one. The #4opens provide a guiding framework, but the challenge remains to implement these in ways that avoid the corruption and failure which is normal for the #NGO funding…
Influx of EU funding into the Fediverse
#Openweb – all together push through, the HARD block crumbles. Getting a good outcome is hard… feeling this influx of EU funding is going to do damage and little good to the #Fediverse health if it keeps funding as its current agenda. Though the Fediverse is drifting from its own lifestyle mess… Let’s try and…
Really good questions, let’s try and address some issues.
The need for “governance” came out of a practical problem, the #activitypub community is made up of “cats” you know the slogan “herding cats” we were doing seminars outreach to powerful EU Eurocrats on why they should be interested in #activertypub and interesting they really are interested. We had no voice, only “cats” with everyone…
Q&A on outreaching the fluffy/spiky debate to the fluffys
You’re bringing in the idea of “fluffy” and “spiky”. And you think both have merit. Have been working with bridging this often hostile divide for more than 30 years in hundreds of campaigns on the ground and online. The best outcome you can hope for is “diversity of tactics/strategy” You’re also drawing attention to the…
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…
Talking to the burocractic coop crew
A. I find it interesting, and revealing, that nobody here actually talked about what the thried was about Online governance – openwebgovernancebody – Gitea: Open Media Network 1 If you can look outside your world view… We are doing a funding proposal to do the simple well tested project/workflow (which we know dues not scale)…
Some questions answered on fediverse “governance”
An important word that needs some thought is “permissionless” The body is made up of three different, balanced groups: Stakeholders – the people who do the work, who run/mod the fediverse Users – the people who use the tools/services, who use the fediverse The Affiliate Stakeholders – the people who commit time to support the…
The geekproblem – humanity’s and science
Coding projects that come from the humanity’s general fail as they are not technically coherent and build out from abstract ideas without real relevance to lived humanity, they are too disconnected to become relevant to communertys of use. Coding from science tend to fail because they are inhuman, and are built for mashions. They serve…
outreaching ActivityPub to the EU – draft
This was an interesting process playing a role to do the document – outreaching ActivityPub to the EU https://pad.public.cat/p/ngi0-ec-activitypub-liaison-presentation-2021-04-19#/13 Good to get an outcome from this: #activertypub as a cross-platform standard for #dotcons who operate in EU funding to further this – we would need democratic structures in the #fedivers style to make this real…
We need working home hosting.
Think we currently have a pile of shit for home hosting tech. Might have to break my #nothingnew pledge as the is literally nothing normal people can use/do. Plan/idea/focus? Nothing is useable – have tried them all. Good to start from where we are we need to stop going round in circles and start to…
The “cloud” is just a big corporate run data centre that can and will burn down
You do realize that all our data is HORRIBLY centralized and thus could vanish at any moment, come the revolution/evolution/ #climatechaos tsunamis. Our end plan in the #OMN is that all the content is redundantly stored in the network in a #KISS way, so traditional backup is less important -when it goes wrong, and it…
