Discussion

@scottjenson would love to benefit from your experience to discuss some #UX challenges we're facing with bonfire (especially how to better integrate the plugins system)

🔥 Exciting News! On January 31st, Bonfire will be at the heart of a workshop at UCL's Bartlett School for Sustainable Construction. We're teaming up with students in the Inclusive Learning Environments program to reimagine open digital learning spaces. Expect innovative ideas that will enhance how to design with Bonfire ( https://bonfirenetworks.org/design ) and possibly spark new developmental pathways! #BonfireWorkshop #UCL #InclusiveLearning

cc @dajb have you seen the ActivityBadges project?

@fediforum @srosset

We've updated our apps page to include more details about communities involved in co-designing each apps, fediverse group to have discussions and brainstorming ideas and the link to the open pad to add requirements and feature proposals.

@brembs great, added the links https://notes.bonfire.cafe/niboe-use-case?both#Relevant-Links

@UlrikeHahn @open_science@a.gup.pe @BashStKid @Ruth_Mottram @niboe@red.niboe.info @jorge @jonny @manisha

@UlrikeHahn
maybe we can stick with the
@open_science@a.gup.pe and use several hashtags to filter conversations to try minimising the complexity?

@BashStKid @Ruth_Mottram @niboe@red.niboe.info @jorge @jonny @manisha @brembs

Follow up: this morning we had a great chat with @UlrikeHahn
We've updated the Open Science Brainstorming pad https://notes.bonfire.cafe/niboe-use-case?view
We invite all of you to contribute to the pad with your ideas and get in touch. By following and mentioning this bot
@open_science@a.gup.pe - we can keep track of any relevant threads. Let's build this together 🔥

@ivan test

@spencer yeah you could add extensions or even easier you can seamlessly switch flavours

@berniethewordsmith if you are looking for a standard microblogging experience with some focus on safety and moderation, the Classic flavour (https://bonfirenetworks.org/app/classic/) should do it :)

🚀 Our website just got a major update with new resources for communities and developers:
📚 Enhanced documentation & brand new tutorials section ( https://bonfirenetworks.org/courses/ )
🌐 Explore our apps ( https://bonfirenetworks.org/apps ), extensions ( https://bonfirenetworks.org/extensions ), and themes ( https://bonfirenetworks.org/themes )
🔍 Learn about our pilot communities
( https://bonfirenetworks.org/pilots )
🌿 Join our journey to build an open cooperative hosting ecosystem ( https://bonfirenetworks.org/hosting )

@jorge @UlrikeHahn @niboe@red.niboe.info FYI a topical recent mailing from Free Software Foundation Europe: https://notes.bonfire.cafe/E3IYMud-TpiXHN_T_hrJ0Q?view which mentions this presentation: https://media.fsfe.org/w/cLSKf9oReoxLPj8CpNarHV

@jonny sounds good! we'll set up a dedicated discussion space soon and share it here! @UlrikeHahn @niboe@red.niboe.info

@UlrikeHahn sounds great, we're up for a call to share our plans and discuss how we can follow up together @niboe@red.niboe.info

@UlrikeHahn this is super interesting, together with @niboe@red.niboe.info we've started co-designing a federated digital space focused on open science. We're building it in public (you can see the current status here https://bonfirenetworks.org/open_science/ ) and it would be great to include your thoughts and improve the document together :)

@tess @jenniferplusplus @randulo @smallcircles @cheddarcrisp Great points, thanks! Have opened an issue about trying to re-use the collections approach from groups for addressing replies to an activity with custom boundaries/circles as well: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/804

@jenniferplusplus @tess @smallcircles @cheddarcrisp I think that’s how Mastodon and Pixelfed are implementing groups instead, so actors can see/follow/address a group/collection, comparable to mailings lists (or usenet).

A circle in our case is private to its creator, who alone can see their circles and who’s in them, and can address a circle when posting, like defining a group/list in your address book, and addressing it as BCC in an email.

@tess @smallcircles @cheddarcrisp granted both of those two features are more focused on privacy (which puts authors/posters in control) than information overload/segmentation, for which we’re thinking about another approach (which puts readers/followers in control): https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/646

@spencer we’re working on the last few milestones towards 1.0 at the moment https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/milestones?direction=asc&sort=title&state=open and hope to have the RC1 (release candidate) ready soon, but the honest answer is “when it’s ready”

@tess @smallcircles @cheddarcrisp while protocol-level support would be ideal, both of these features can work fine (and have been implemented in Bonfire) without it:

- personas (multiple profiles per account) appear as separate users to everyone else, and can be followed individually

- when you address a post to a circle(s) it’s usually not a public post, so we basically bcc the circle members so their servers know who to show it to (similar to a group DM)
