RE: https://mastodon.world/@DigInfFund/117008916100453551 Nice summary
Quoting
D//F @DigInfFund@mastodon.world
Please join us in congratulating John D. Boy (U Leiden) on finalising his important project from cohort 3 “What comes after #FOSS?”: https://infrastructureinsights.fund/projects/what-comes-after-foss/ Quick summary: The report is a corrective rather than a manifesto: retiring the assumption that peer production (in #foss is inherently democratizing, without romanticizing, but closely observing, what replaces it.

Today @DigInfFund@mastodon.world published my final report where I try to answer the question: What comes after FOSS? In the report, I provide some inklings based on conversations with technologists working on #permacomputing, server collectives, and decentralized networking technologies. https://www.jboy.space/blog/what-comes-after-foss.html Many people on the fediverse helped me think this through, both knowingly and unknowingly: @ckelty@mastodon.social @Biella@mastodon.social @inquiline@assemblag.es with their ethnographies, @ntnsndr@social.coop @l03s@post.lurk.org @rra@post.lurk.org @320x200@post.lurk.org @Femke@post.lurk.org @CoralineAda@ruby.social @jwyg@post.lurk.org @lbngr@assemblag.es @kissane@mas.to @aparrish@friend.camp @nayafia@mastodon.social with smart things they've written, @r00tkate@tldr.nettime.org with incisive comments & encouragement, and Code as Critique workshop participants including @darius@friend.camp @infinite_scroller@tldr.nettime.org @cwebber@social.coop @by_caballero@mastodon.social @tommi@pan.rent @kaeru@post.lurk.org @latentspace@post.lurk.org @sejo@merveilles.town.

> indie videogame making revolves around figuring out how to be in between and work around different pieces of software as much as competing schedules. This comic article seeks to graphically investigate and represent those in-betweens and the work of translation they require.

Congrats Federico De Musso of @recntr@post.lurk.org on this gorgeous publication!

> The #FOSS space today is littered with a litany of local groups, projects, and teams, all working towards roughly common goals with relatively little coordination or overlap. This has real consequences: it is incredibly difficult for projects, conferences, and community groups to find support without courting corporate sponsors. Whether the average community-driven project lives or dies often depends entirely upon the passion of a handful of isolated individuals.

“Today, wars are proliferating and the major powers are rearming, yet the streets remain strangely quiet. … Pacifist engagement – which is stigmatised by a media that is quick to conflate it with support for Hamas, the Iranian regime or the Kremlin, and sometimes repressed – sits uneasily with the zeitgeist. Such engagement demands stubborn optimism, a conviction, forged through struggles which sometimes succeed, that nothing is settled, that collective action can still alter the course of events.”

Today my colleagues and I hosted the brilliant Dr Jody Metcalfe and Quintin Goliath aka Jitsvinger for a guest lecture on #Afrikaaps and the decolonial struggle to reclaim language through poetry, hiphop and theater.

I learned so much. Total #breinsuiker*
