Weird and uncomfortable.
Nadia, the HackCare manifesto, HackCare the phrase and the concept of Hacker Care homes, these are all things that I have been working on for the past 6 months to a year, with a diverse group of people (that happen not to be on the ER platform), I decided to run a session on this at LOTE4 with Remy because I thought it would be interesting and that there would be a lot of overlap with conversations that we’ve had in the community in the past years. I didn’t do this because I wanted this to instantly become an EdgeRyders project. Especially given that in the UK I have been in discussion with possible partners and funders over the past few months.
Whilst I generally don’t take issue or make claims of ownership, I find this post, and re-appropriation of the research material that comes from a very considerable amount of work, with zero interaction with myself (putting it mildly) quite offensive.
I’m saying this now because I think it’s important to be clear about this - and because I have observed this as a worrying trend in EdgeRyders (i.e Case Study Adventures going into other contracts/offers is awkward, given that I and others designed and ran that project with my/our own funds, time and since then have received zero remuneration from the LOTE4 budget).
Maybe I’m being overly sensitive but there seems to be no acknowledgement of this recent comment, combined with the fact that last month you completely cut me out of a potential collaboration which Annemarie put on the table via email on the grounds of ‘diversity’. What gives?
