Asteris Masouras says that what attracted him to blogs was not journalism but the
"fairytale" of open source. He was amazed at how much "crazy stuff" could run on software we had written. That creativity is still somewhere - in our community (GV), it's about content, not infrastructure. But perhaps we can bring that spirit of open source and resilience back. #GVSummit2024
@ethanz For me it was the reality of wiki (as I was already in the thick of experiencing great depths/power in group dynamics). And open specifications. And free software. Open source was of immediate concern as a possible co-opting of what free software was about.
But I think we're talking about the same root wonder, at the possibilities of free/open collaboration, inspired by the wonder of what we can do/make for and with each other.
