Once all the Starter Packs are made, and we move on to *Advanced Packs*, someone will finally make a “Radical Politics, Open Source, Cooperatives, Governance nerds, Book reviewers, atproto Missionaries, Japan history, Photographer, Travel Writers, Rap fans, Dad Jokes Pack” and add me to it.
Fascinating discussion at PITG.network with Fiona Alexander about her new book “Geopolitics at the Internet’s Core” 📚

Appreciated her professional take as an insider.

Great to see @chadkoh.com running with @protocolsforpublishers.com.

Chad is a huge open protocols advocate, and fortunately he's not completely engineering brained and has been spending time at the Internet Governance Forum and other important venues that are more policy & civil society oriented.

Overwhelming to hear about how much the AT community showed up today at IETF. I wish I could've been there.

I'm sure many people deserve special thanks, but I do want to highlight @bmann.ca for helping to get people there. I feel so fortunate to be a part of such a great group of people.

Last night we gathered community builders to ideate on how we can rebuild Vancouver’s once-thriving meetup scene. 🥳 What resources can we pool for the betterment of the ecosystem? 🤔 It was a total blast and we are collating our findings and planning Stage 2. 📈 If you’re an organizer, REACH OUT 🤝

Visited a recreation of Cybersyn — the Chilean socialist internet that predates the web. It had programs to communicate with a decentralized network of telex machines at factories (Cybernet), economic simulators (CHECO & Cyberstride), and this control room
Goal was to control the economy with clicks

"There's a there there." #ietf124

Lots of enthusiasm and positivity (and advice from experienced folks) for forming an #atproto WG at @ietf.org

We had 130 people on the stream and a very active chat.

Great job @bnewbold.net and @dholms.xyz and everyone else.

Thank you all for showing up! 👏
