    “This study contributes to ongoing efforts to better understand hydrological processes and environmental change, with important implications for water resources management, climate adaptation, and sustainable decision-making…”

  2. It is time for a democratic tech fund. The acronym seems to be really fun: #DTF, or: Down To Fund 😍

    PD thanks to @3wordchant and @arod for the cute acronym 😉

  3. @arod we know about #dtf and younger generations, some fall in that segment indeed ;-)

    it may be confusing, or fun?! In fact this acronym has various meanings...

  4. Hi @arod, thanks for the compliment! And I very much agree with you. We need to unite forces between grassroots commoners and cooperativists with institutional support, such as public and private funders.

    That is precisely what we're working towards with the setting up of the Democratic Tech Fund. We think this logic - and our shared values - should be anchored in its foundations, before we can accept such funds to multiply our seed funding. We cannot "just" bootstrap it - there lies the challenge. Any help to connect the dots, also with the institutions willing to multiply our collective effort, is much appreciated. Let us say that we need to go beyond the neoliberal public-private partnerships: we need civic-public-private partnerships, on our terms.

  9. This is relevant if you consider making a contribution to the Democratic Tech Fund.

    We recently opened up donation options for members at @opencollective :

  10. To make it concrete: to move away from Microsoft (teams, sharepoint) and Google (drive), Nextcloud is a decent option, but you may also want decentralised group chat like matrix, maybe a better collaborative document server, à La Suite Docs, video conferencing like BBB or La Suite Visio. And of course a Single Sign On - one account to log on.

    Altogether this is not something every individual person or collective may want to run for themselves, so you need a service provider, ideally a cooperative one, where you can be a member of and collectively maintain a production team and a process to evolve together - as technologies (and social needs) evolve.
    In this sense the @coopcloud federation provides a backbone to work together on the development and maintenance of the tech stack as a "configuration commons". With the #dtf we became members, and it is exciting to see what is cooking there and how people/cooperatives collaborate along shared goals.

  15. I'm excited to see more people join the process to build up the Democratic Tech Fund. Many of us are fed up by the @DigitalCoup, and we know that there are so many communities already working on bits and pieces of the solution.

    We need to do this #bottomup, based on solidarity and commons economics and organising. Let's weave the tech communities with the social movements and the social and solidarity economy. Together we can do this.

  20. Given the #DigitalCoup and the urgency to transition to #DigitalAutonomy, we’re building up the DemocraticTech.Fund. It is a networked approach, aiming to increase our collective capacity, to discover the tech that is already available to us, to deploy it in ways that we can own it, to share learnings of the transition, to move there together, so we can overcome network effects.

    It is our intention to identify together the gaps of what is needed to make the transition, to fund that collectively. This can be tech, media to raise awareness for the positive alternatives already out there, and federating our communities. We’re starting as civil society, and we intent to invite institutions – public and private – to chip in and multiply the contributions. Together we can make the impact that is needed.
