I'm speaking at the online 2022 software freedom
conference, March 19–20 libreplanet.org/2022

I’ll be speaking about the economic-dilemmas that public goods face

Not focused just on Snowdrift.coop @snowdrift but relevant

Our wiki article describing the core concept of the Snowdrift Dilemma has been overhauled. Deeper overall precise points instead of just general concepts (the general overview can be elsewhere)

wiki.snowdrift.coop/about/snow

This is a part of efforts to more thoroughly clarify the political/conceptual framework for the Snowdrift.coop mission…

Other work toward actual launch still going on, too slowly, but we're still here, still working

I found this to be about the best expression of the whole state of issues with the world today

humanetech.com/podcast/36-uned

I plan to review more of consilienceproject.org/ and civilizationemerging.com/

@snowdrift is working to be one of many efforts to address these things, but struggling to get past the diagnosis stage and into the actual solving. Would love help and engagement and collaboration and solidarity from others who get the diagnosis

Snowdrift.coop is still working to get launched, and we've made huge progress in charting the path forward. You can help too!

@snowdrift is applying as a high priority project at #fsf and I heartily support their inclusion there! Their innovative crowdmatching mechanism for #donations focused on #funding #foss is great, imho.

Judge for yourself. They wrote a very convincing blog post about their fsf application:

#Snowdrift still discussing some of the details of the mechanism, so all contributions are welcome!

Snowdrift.coop work lately has been busy but all behind-the-scenes, little to show yet publicly. Update from this week: successful transfer of all our servers to OSUOSL osuosl.org after 18 months of on/off planning. Closing our AWS account. This enables the Snowdrift team to not worry about sysadmin issues and focus solely on getting launched!

Thanks to partnership with @OSUOSLhttps://osuosl.org we are finally getting our core servers and systems more solid and reliable!

Dealing with those things has been a major distraction and obstacle (costing us months to years even). We're now going to have that stuff in place as a stronger foundation for the rest of our development and organizing!

(Longer blog post coming once the process is farther along)

New blog post (finally, a year late) announcing our new forum: blog.snowdrift.coop/new-forum

New homepage with fancy animated video is now live at snowdrift.coop

We only spent about 2 years of (on and off) work on it, so don't expect perfection. ;)

Hopefully, we'll get around to writing blog post about it sometime soon.

Maybe it's unrealistic to see excitement about a ToS or Privacy Policy but we've worked to make the best, human-readable, ethical new policies:

- snowdrift.coop/terms

- snowdrift.coop/privacy

Primary driver of the overhaul is announcing our new forum (also highly adjusted to be the best it can be):

community.snowdrift.coop

All connected policies including Code of Conduct have been overhauled.

community.snowdrift.coop/guide

Feedback always welcome. Coming soon: blog posts, more announcements…

Hi all, Snowdrift.coop is an in-progress funding platform for public goods. We used to use @snowdriftcoop but that instance of GNU Social is dead.

Follow us here. Lots of announcements coming in the future.
