@mike_hales Cooperative management of shared infrastructure is path to "libre." A more libertarian approach is decentralization and federation around fixed (or cooperatively managed?) protocols which deemphasize the need for shared infrastructure in some way.

If we believe that effective cooperatives will be limited in scale or scope, a combination of the two may be necessary. This is more or less what we have here at social.coop which is part of a larger federated network.

Of course, when talking #coops and #tools I'm thinking of social.coop too. If social.coop exists to cooperatively own and operate tool platforms (did I get that right?) . . what other tools than Mastodon will come under the umbrella? And which kinds of users will they be tools for? Tech nerds? Coders? Ordinary everday folks? P2P/solidarity economy activists? Etcetera. Diverse use cases, can't serve 'em all well?

Puzzled . . @mako makes a clear pitch on "Free software production needs free tools" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_nK6nP_RCY&feature=youtu.be
And is very clear on #commons and #P2P (though says most code comes from solo not collaboration!). Yet not a hint of coop ownership of #platforms to keep tools honest & open (GitHub!). Surely tools today become platforms? And platforms require collaboration even if code doesn't? So why doesn't #coop follow automatically, as we talk tools? How does libre not equal coop in FLOSS world?

Anybody heard of the #Zebra movement? A Meet-Up group is apparently starting in Raleigh/Durham. @tbeckett @nmashton

Good session about Mastodon + ActivityPub at #OpenSourceBridge (#osb18) -- touching on governance, alternative implementations like #Pleroma, new services like @pixelfed. Thanks to Aaron for notes:

https://pad.riseup.net/p/OSB-Mastodon

Together with the Governance Working Group, I've just posted a proposal to clarify the language in the #SocialCoop Bylaws: https://www.loomio.org/p/1PSop0v2/bylaws-revision-clarify-proposal-process Please participate. The proposal is open for 10 days.

Can you push to multiple git remotes with a single command?

In other words, can I do something like configure one remote "name" that pushes my local changes to several different remotes at the same time?

Anybody know anything about FairBnB? Apparently it's a #cooperative version of AirBnB.

If you know anyone working on an ActivityPub project and they need any advice/feedback/help or want to spread the word, tell them to DM me! I am more than willing to help or spread awareness! #activitypub #fediverse

Awesome news: thanks to the support of SolidFund we have 10 #free tickets available for low-income people in worker #coops to join our #UK workshops. 🎉

Please share with cooperators around #Manchester + #London.

The future is cooperative 🌶

@mayel @ti calling this a project is generous. There's a few GitHub issues by 4 people, 20 days ago, and then it stopped. The list is also basically empty

How can a "instance picker" support a healty federated grouth

I assume that like most people when I first heard "free" in "free and open source software" I assumed it referred to "free of cost" and not "liberty from developer oppression". Therefore I was mislead into thinking it was open source that was important not freedom. It is for this reason I use the phrase "libre software" in order to provide less confusion to new contributors. https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software

What we really need is a federated GitHub/GitLab
