If your software is over 20 years old and still being actively maintained and used, you've got to be doing something right...

Asked @oli this today @ Open2018 - he says keep asking! Here goes . . There's so much pattern algorithm-power at work now, data analytics in the FaceBook back-office, in the military &c. Capability is huge.. When are we going to see this tech on our side, in the front-office (on clients? on coop platforms?) enabling us to become aware of patterns in our collective action that are invisible to us actors? Basic tech for P2P governance in chaotic systems?

Anybody in the fediverse at work on this?

@cocoron do you know a mastodon instance also with focus on sustainability and ecological positions but that’s neither from the Punk nor Anarchist or activistic spectrum?

I am designing the inventory section of #Agent, our app to track resources flow between communities.
I'd love to take inspiration from RPG Inventory system, 'cause they are awesome from a UX point of view and I guess (hope) they would fit quite well with actual UI....
Any suggestions? Do you remember some RPG with awesome inventory? :*

“'Power to the people' can only
be put into practice when the power exercised by social elites is
dissolved into the people. Each individual can then take control of
his daily life. If 'Power to the people' means nothing more than
power to the 'leaders' of the people, then the people remain an
undifferentiated, manipulatable mass, as powerless after the revolution as they were before. In the last analysis, the people can never have power until they disappear as a 'people.”
― Murray Bookchin

Just blasted all of you on social.coop with a request for feedback on Reporting Guidelines.

I am usually sheepish about blasting people with requests, but feel justified (and hopeful!) as this is an integral piece of the Code of Conduct puzzle that will help to maintain social.coop as a safe and inclusive space!

Here's the link to the discussion thread on loomio: https://www.loomio.org/d/Kw1fzBDG/reporting-guidelines-feedback-for-revisions

Two thoughts on the #socialcoop #CodeofConduct:

Our goal at this point should be, as in sociocracy, "seeking to produce a good enough CoC and process that can then be tried out, tested, and improved over time."

Better to think in terms of "referees" than judges/jurors, one implies reminding people of the rules of the game and calling infractions so we can continue to play, the other coming to a definitive conclusion about an incident after a fair and thorough investigation, etc.

#opencoop friends, with all this talk of decentralization, some of you might be interested in this draft I'm working on about why it never seems to persist. I'd be grateful for any feedback: https://share.mayfirst.org/s/PqscGDDicwpZ34Z
