Focus is on how to coordinate to support an economy of open abundance instead of only scarcity and exclusion

Thank you to everyone who made #SeaGL2021 great. We can’t wait for you to join us November 4–5, 2022 for the tenth year of SeaGL!

A bunch of folks from the collective had a wonderful time meeting with folks from @haystack_csail as part of the lab speed dating social event that was part of the social program for @ACM_CSCW! Thanks to @sohwng for helping make it happen!

And we're back! After a month hiatus due to travel, we've got a new episode interviewing @salt about his dissertation research on resilience in FOSS!

https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/37-salt-on-resilience-in-foss.html

Since Salt is one of the organizers of @SeaGL we 'announced' our keynote at the end of the episode with the intention of releasing it earlier ... but at least we managed to get it out the week of the conference!

New episode of @fossandcrafts! Episode 37: Salt on Resilience in FOSS https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/37-salt-on-resilience-in-foss.html

Back from our month long hiatus! And what a way to come back! It was great talking with @salt, and his thesis was legit a delight to read and talk about!

It also changed my perspective: "crisis events" *can* mean the end of a community, but they can also be an opportunity?!

Episode 37: Salt on Resilience in FOSS https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/37-salt-on-resilience-in-foss.html

@salt joins us to talk about his master's dissertation on the resilience of FOSS communities in the face of crisis events, and the kinds of long term impact "founder decisions" can have!

We asked for your name suggestions and you delivered. Now it's time to vote on the names for the colors on SeaGL's color palette. The winning names will be announced at the end of #SeaGL2021 https://seagl.org/news/2021/11/01/color-palette-poll.html

Posted some reflections on returning to #DebConf21 to watch my advisees @kayleachampion and @salt present their research using data from @debian@quitter.se https://mako.cc/copyrighteous/returning-to-debconf

My student @salt just gave a great talk on his master's thesis work on "Resilience in FLOSS: Do founder decisions impact development activity after crisis events?" at #Debian'w #Debconf21: https://debconf21.debconf.org/talks/24-resilience-in-floss-do-founder-decisions-impact-development-activity-after-crisis-events/

While working on our style guide, we realized our colors need better names. You can help us choose! Submit your suggestions at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIIXHJPVRy_r3O9R5aXHUJKwvVl7nmmQ_ZYzyaJ5ER4UcNng/viewform
