@MatsK Amazing that you are onboard here! Why don’t we catch up on a short call to see if we can invite more of our common networks? I could PM you my private number if you like.

1. Unfailing Massive Collaboration: Open Sourcing Everything
2. Open Source beyond the screen
- Post by @joye: The Town as an Open Source Project
- @patrick_andrews has a lot of knowledge to draw from his involvement in this initiative to bring an open source car
- This story from Cairo of a community that DIYd four exit ramps from the busiest road in a city with a population of 9.5 Million people because the government wouldn’t.
3. A thread on the history of open source communities
4. Closer to the actual pedagogical work/how to make it spread Check out this story on the Viral Academy Georgia: learning open source software to learn how to work together

I basically copied with some small edits the invitation Erik made in Swedish and have shared with my Stockholm network.

If there is any material to be shared afterwards, I’d be happy. Need conversation with a couple of folks from my community and would be happy to show that I am not alone

Hey @felix.wolfsteller!
We would love to get some help with producing documentation. Will you be able to be doing this?
#nospectators
No sorry I will not be attending any event and also cannot produce anything streamlined. I thought if you have some slides to share, I’d be very interested. If you have however some 75%-done slides or posters, I can look at them and give somewhat qualified feedback (if you share it on a nextcloud with Collabora Office I can add comments without interfering with your workflow. I guess OnlineOffice has the same feature).
Thanx for your feedback. I don’t have any slides yet as I will prepare the material during the week.
Interesting that you mention Nextcloud + Collabora. I have built a Juju bundle that anyone can deploy and use to get their private/open source cloud running.
More about Juju and the Nextcloud bundle here: https://jaas.ai/u/erik-lonroth/nextcloud-collabora-tls/bundle/15
I think @hugi @mattiasx @alberto might be interested in this. Juju simplifies the process of getting complex systems deployed - such as - Nextcloud. Juju is open source and so are all the other components used within the projects. This is my personal exploration also of removing myself as much as possible from the AD-driven economy discussed here: What Is to Be Done About the Ad-Based Internet economy? - #112 by alberto) Its a great feeling and I also reap huge benefits from the flexibility I have.
Even though all this is a bit off topic, you really highlight the principal boundaries between humans being “subscribers” to someone else’s code - vs - empowered community members. This is something we can cover also during the workshop. Exciting times!

I do not really understand. You looked at my github - profile? Or because I offered review?
I got intrigued by you comment mainly.
Ok, but I have a challenge, I have got another consultant job and I don’t know if I can make it at the 28/11.

But feel free to pull in more of your personal contacts if you think you have some more that would be interested in participating.

I have made preparations for the frame of the workshop - as you all have read. But, in the end - its we all, who brings to the substance. My part is of equal weight as yours - we need you.
With this post, I hope to spark this weeks conversation that will continue into the workshop.
