#theFediverse : "Some might say that #decentralisation without a unifying centre will weaken our collective voice. But history shows that #movements thrive when they are many-voiced. A network of independent spaces, each with its own #governance and #culture, is harder to silence, co-opt, or corrupt than any single global fediverse could ever be."

After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Cooperative Development Guidelines now have a Governance Document that can be used by any Organization/Foundation/Collective/Community/Project that wants to have a governance based on participatory, equity and permacomputing/accessibility principles.

Its time for us to finally start building participatory digital commons, that are developed by the community and for the community and the Governance document is part 1 of doing just that. (Decision making and Structure will follow after this).

I am also excited to announce that @queerspark has also been listed as a collective that adopted pieces of the Cooperative Development Guidelines.
