What will the Foundation do to protect projects at the heart of Matrix? How do we determine what those “core” projects are? And are there any projects that don’t belong at the Foundation?

We're beginning the process of defining a new governance framework for Foundation projects, in collaboration with the Governing Board and the rest of the ecosystem. matrix.org/blog/2024/08/heart-…

How do open source projects get things done? How do they retain contributors, attract users, and make technical decisions? All this (and more!) falls under the auspice of "governance". Shauna Gordon-McKeon explores the power and potential in being thoughtful your project's governance, and how expanding your view of what governance entails can create a virtuous cycle.

#introduction #reintroduction

Hi all, Roel he/him.

An artist and designer with an interest in computer networks, materiality of the internet, digital community infrastructure, DIY/DIWO approaches, FOSS culture.

You might know my work from the LowTech Mag's solar powered server project solar.lowtechmagazine.com

Currently pursuing a #PhD in Interaction and Participatory #Design at Malmö University. As part of that research I work together with actors in the cultural sector to co-design alternative social media infrastructures with/for them. These are mostly based on fediverse applications, so I am also interested in aspects of #federation #governance #contentmoderation and more generally how to transition to and improve alternatives together etc. This space is far from perfect and in some cases insufficient but we need to start somewhere??

I'm a founding member of varia.zone, and also part of lurk.org. With LURK we've been running a fediverse instance called post.lurk.org since 2018, for which I am happy to be one of the co-admins! As part of that I boost #introductions, calls and questions..

This is introduction is really long because post.lurk.org has a character limit of 1337

Low-tech Magazine refuses to assume that every problem has a high-tech solution. A simple, sensible, but nevertheless controversial message; high-tech has become the idol of our society.
