(From the Town as an Open Source project) " Open Source projects are ubiquitous in computing and they affect every computer users life in a massive way. In direct terms, a lot of commonly used software is Open Source - Mozilla Firefox being a prime example. The more important thing though is the effect that Open Source projects have on your computing experience indirectly - most Open Source projects are not about creating software for the end-user but are instead about creating pools of resources for other programmers to use as a part of their non-Open software. Some Open Source projects are virtually omnipresent (gcc, zlib, openssl, etc.) but largely invisible to the end-user."

Social Media is Broken - Let’s do better: Social Media is broken, let's do better! - #7 by JollyOrc “If the platform caters to just one type of audience, and centers around a specific interest or topic, that informs the audience directly on how to behave. And people can lurk before participating, so they follow the existing examples. With an open and global platform, it is a lot harder to set these existing examples, because one does not know, with which subset the new member will interact first, nor with which topic. Good UX guides them, informs the newbies about the presets and their reasoning, and so on.”

What does it mean to build a human centric internet and who is doing it? What does it mean to make a human-centric Internet, and who is doing it? " The builders of Scuttlebutt started from the sort of human community they wanted to build : open to the underprivileged, solving basic social connectivity problems while staying away from surveillance capitalism, etc., and on those basis they are making all their technical choices , right down to the editor. As they do that, they discover and exploit sources of economic efficiency (“underprivileged audiences are less demanding, easier to serve with open source tech”). They ended up with a very different product from the ones they are seeking to replace, and with a very different community."

- What do digital services in a world of net-zero look like ? https://edgeryders.eu/t/workshop-on-service-design-in-a-climate-emergency-what-do-digital-services-in-a-world-of-net-zero-look-like/11070 " It’s also relatively simple to shift from measuring cost in money to cost in carbon.For example the [Office of National Statistics in the UK already measures things like carbon intensity for different sectors(https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/environmentalaccounts/bulletins/greenhousegasintensityprovisionalestimatesuk/2017), to have proxy figures for CO2 emissions.If by law you are compelling to reduce emissions, and you know that expenditure in a given sector emits a set about of emissions for every 10k of spend, you have implicit budgets already set. There’s a danger in this approach, that we end up leaving great swathes of people behind - while this approach is easy to measure and manage, it’s also a very blunt instrument, especially when within industry, we know that our knowledge about how to do almost anything in a measurably low carbon way* is so poor."

For example, Airbnb is a great example of user-centred design for the end user. It’s a less successful example of design for the neighbour of a person hosting an apartment, or less visible people, like the cleaners and other workers who are also part of the supply chain…”

Being able to check these common tools we know against the key challenges identified in the first output would let give us an idea of what new tools might look like.

Which skills would we like to have in the room?
- Service design skills, particularly working in public sector in Europe, and private sector
- Policy design and experience, particularly for delivering carbon reductions in government services
- Digital skills, for implementing digitally mediated aspects of a service, like building digital platforms designed to support a channel shift away from manual ones that relied on paper
- Skills and experience at working with vulnerable groups (or people from those groups themselves), often impacted by the unintended consequences of people taking steps to ‘green’ a service.
Are there specific organisations whose contributions would be helpful?
- Do you know service designer who has experience facilitating events? Send them to us for a gig
- Do you know anyone at TU Berlin who is working on “sustainable digitalisation”?
- Do you know anyone from who has experience working with groups who are often vulnerable, and marginalised? Come join us at this workshop
- Know anyone who is helping organisations understand how their efforts might unintentionally harm the people they are trying to help?
- Do you know anyone who is building digital services that displace more polluting alternatives? Can you talk about the trade-offs you have to make when operating commercially?
- Do you know anyone who is working at a mobility services company like Coup, Emmy etc. Join us!

A radically new study on P2P Protocols and mesh Networks: https://edgeryders.eu/t/a-radically-new-internet-a-study-on-p2p-protocols-and-mesh-networks/9802 " What’s specifically interesting is when you take mesh networks in combination with peer-to-peer protocols, such as Scuttlebutt or the DAT-protocol as new features are enabled, seldomly else even imagined. They happen to fit very well together as the two technologies merge and creating something quite unique."

My Story- Thoughts on collaboration: https://edgeryders.eu/t/my-story-thoughts-on-collaboration/9977 “How does collaboration look like in a distributed peer to peer network? What technical challenges are there to be solved? What initiatives are working towards solutions and how far are they? Are solutions compatible? How energy efficient are they? How private, and how hackable?”

How can we put humans/citizens first in our smart city policies?: How can we put humans/citizens first in our smart city policies? - #14 by matthias “Let’s call it “tiny data”. In the highly resilient society of the future, we’ll have to rely on local resources much more than now. This can be a city-level or neighborhood-level micro-grid or an off-grid house, or probably all of these to have multiple levels of redundancy. I am personally living off-grid and from that experience I can tell that good monitoring of ones energy, water, wastewater, heating and cooling systems is essential for wise resource use and proper functioning. For example, I know that I need 500-700 Wh of photovoltaics energy a day, and that I can cope with at most 10 days of gray sky in winter. That’s where IoT comes in. Network-connected sensors and an evaluation software would combine local consumption data and weather forecasts into behavior recommendations.”
