#KitchenerON - Building for the Future!

#Engagewr has been described as "the closest thing the Region has to participatory democracy, in that it posts projects that the cities/townships/region are working on and solicits feedback from the people living there / using the amenities to guide the ways in which they are doing the project."

Welcome to Kitchener 2051!

"As Kitchener grows to become a city of up to 450,000 people, we need a new plan. A new Official Plan will guide growth and shape the way that neighbourhoods evolve and change. The new Official Plan needs to be ambitious and clear in our intentions as we plan for the Kitchener of 2051.

Kitchener 2051 is about the people who call Kitchener home today and in the future

That includes #IndigenousPeople, #newcomers, longtime residents, business owners and entrepreneurs. It’s about our community today but also about the people who are not yet here. Like the young people who will grow old in our community, the family looking to move to Kitchener, or the student who will call our community home after graduation. Kitchener 2051 looks at how we move around the city and the places in between. It is about what we will need to do together to grow, adapt, and succeed in a #resilient and complete city.

Kitchener 2051 needs to consider a full range of perspectives to ensure that the Official Plan reflects the needs of all. This includes communities often underrepresented in these processes, like equity-denied communities, renters, and people who have experienced #homelessness, #poverty and #HousingPrecarity.

Along the way, we will learn from the community as we shape an Official Plan that reflects who we are, what we value, and the Kitchener we can become."

»it would make sense to stop accepting imperfect PRs in order to maximize ROI from your work, but that’s not what we do in the Zig project. Instead, we try our best to help new contributors to get their work in, even if they need some help getting there. We don’t do this just because it’s the “right” thing to do, but also because it’s the smart thing to do.«

Hi, John! Welcome to Mastodon!

If you've already been here a while...double welcome.

I saw you'd followed me, so I followed you back.

I saw from your website that you're a physicist that programs in FORTRAN. I also programmed in FORTRAN and worked in physics from 1983 thru 2014. I never got a degree in physics, though, just computer science.

#Newcomers #Physics #FORTRAN

🚀 Ah, the joy of #Lisp, where setting up your #dev #environment requires a degree in archaeology. 🙃 Who knew that #programming needed a map, a compass, and a guide to navigate the labyrinth of tools designed to scare off #newcomers faster than a popup ad? 🧭

@n @ai6yr resistance to influence peddlers may also be why newcomers are baffled (I was).

Other platforms have a lot of marketing before anyone actually signs up: a combination of hand-holding instructions and (yes) boosterism that promises all kinds of marvels.

Could individuals with accounts here in the Fediverse be *a bit* more willing to provide something *a bit* like marketing to friends and family outside - cheerful #fediverse #howto #guide for #newcomers?

Time for some #statistics about the #CFP of #JCON EUROPE 2026.
But first, we want to thank everyone who submitted their session! We had a blast seeing so many people we already know, as well as some interesting #newcomers.
The evaluation will take a while, so stay tuned!

Dear New Comers and anyone immigrating to Mastodon from oppressive platforms.

You’ll not be deported from Mastodon because of your ethnicity, religion, color of your skin, views or because you read books.

Welcome.
