⭐️ @Bonfire is a wonderful initiative for friendly community building. The project is focused on making things easy for people to create meaningful spaces to organize. It has good federation support, so people can participate from across the different networks.
They've launched a campaign to help launch it to a wider audience: https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community
I like the install party level, looking forward to getting an instance running with others! #Bonfire #Crowdfunding #Fediverse #IndieWeb #OSS

It just so happens that we are 14 people short of having 1000 followers on this Mastodon account!
Hoping we can reach that goal by the end of the year!? Let's see 👍👍

I no longer believe that pure open source licenses serve a public good, as our tools can easily be used to do harm - we are building weapons for our oppressors.
Building on the work of many others, I've cobbled together my own Ethical Software License from a variety of sources.
My own addition is a prohibition on using the software for building AI, crypto, or any similar technology.
I'd appreciate any and all feedback on this! (Sharing is OK!)

@X_net Something that may be under-utilized in #TechProcurement is that you don’t have to always just do the cheapest. You can have other criteria (gender equity, privacy, etc.)
Writing the tenders FOR the policymakers may be a way to make it easier for them. We can’t let #BigTech (or more accurately #BigAdvertizing) write the rules of the game.
#MakeItEasyToDoTheRightThing
@X_net I got to ask Simona about how most “ #EdTech software” is not actually just software, but it’s SaaS. It’s a subscription with customer support. #OSS, even if we have great #UX (which is still a work in progress), software alone isn’t a full substitute.
Simona talks about how that is a place where we DO need the government to step up. The software can be free and open, it can be maintained by all of us, but the government funds should go toward providing these services.
