We now have a #PeerTube instance - @agaric
These will mostly be videos of our presentations we give on topics like #FreeSoftware #DigitalCommons and #MediaJustice . As well as how-tos for #Drupal #Django #React etc.
Video of @FreeScholar LibrePlanet keynote is now up!
This talk is loaded with both terrifying examples of the creeping surveillance capitalism we live in and inspiring counter examples to get us free in this digital world.

Our latest blog post from @clayton ,
How Stewarding the Digital Commons Keeps Your Software Secure, Stable and Innovative
an especially good read for groups who use #freesoftware but need help seeing the value of it and contributing back.
The #Nonprofit #Drupal Summit is happening in Seattle April 9th.
We have connections to get folks free tickets. Message us if you're interested!

¿Cómo funciona el https? How https works #autodefensadigital --> https://howhttps.works/ <---
We created a #Drupal module called Give, that allows site owners to create donation forms, and manage donations from within the site itself.
Here's a breakdown of how it works https://agaric.coop/blog/build-and-manage-online-donations-drupal-give-module

another thing i want to work on is creating an economic network inside the fediverse.
by this, i don’t mean something like bitcoin or some other method of value exchange, but instead solving a more fundamental problem.
the fediverse is largely comprised of people who have small businesses (like bespoke commissions, etsy stores, small companies, etc.), but we don’t have any way of discovering who can sell or provide what you’re looking for.
i want to try to find solutions to this problem — keeping $ flowing inside the fediverse, from participant to participant, helps indirectly to fund fediverse development: if there’s more $ flowing inside the fediverse, then there’s more opportunity for that $ to make it into the hands of the people building the network. also, keeping the $ inside the fediverse helps to more directly benefit fediverse participants in general. it’s a good situation for everyone.
keeping more of the $$$ inside the fediverse is a very early step toward building a self-reliant fediverse, which contributes to the eventual death of the nation-state.

Ok, so this isn't the most visually exciting piece of video content GEO has ever created, but listening to Jessica Gordon-Nembhard speak is always worth the time.

Toot, toot ... and we're off! Hi Mastodon community. We're so excited there's this open source and decentralised social network to be a part of. It aligns nicely with our values. We believe in having open source alternatives to all the big names out there 😉
