"At #Decidim, we believe that #participatory democratic #infrastructures must be developed in a transparent, open and democratic manner. The principles of transparency, participation, and #openness…must be equally applied to the development of technology.
The exercise of #technologicalsovereignty is an active principle, based on the real ability to control the technology you use and not be at the mercy of private corporations."

We're planning a website/guide book for people building local community and organisations;

What info/tools etc. do you wish you had now or when you started trying to kick-start these sorts of local efforts?

We need to stay connected and supportive of one another as we enter into a very difficult time here in the United States, especially for the most vulnerable among us. One way I attempt to do this is through my writings at #OneWorldHouse. I hope you will join me there and subscribe for free as we work together for a more #just, #peaceful, #participatory and #sustainable world.

The Co-Pro Futures Inquiry will propose measures to address barriers to #participatory and #coproduced research within universities and the higher education sector in the UK .
The Call for Evidence and Ideas is one key way that we want to gather collective intelligence to support the sector-wide deliberation and development of an action plan. We are opening the call for submissions until February 28th 2025. Details below! #CoPro #Codesign #citizenScience #ParticipatorResearch please share!

Barcamp London had a lot of good feedback last time, we discuss geeky passions, we're chill, friendly, welcoming, well organised, with great food, and the grassroots participatory nature makes it a really fun event

AND THERE IS LEGO!

I work on #participatory methods as part of my artistic practice. So I’m delighted that the newly published Routledge Companion to #Creativity in the #BuiltEnvironment features a chapter on work I carried out between 2014–2018 on #codesign methods for #infrastructure to make cities more #resilient

✏️🗺️SketchMapTool in practice📍💻

In collaboration with the Colombian and German Red Cross, we've put SMT to the test in various communities in Colombia. This case study shows how SMT facilitates #participatory #mapping by combining #analogue and #digital methods.

🔎 Here you'll find a short article about the project, as well as a document with all details:

There is a #Wikipedia proposal [0] to modify the 'Find general sources' template [1]. The template is used on nearly a million Wikipedia pages (esp. talk pages, not articles). Knowledge review circulates between search engines + meta-search engines, academic peer-reviewed papers, and Wikipedia - should #SurveillanceCapitalism retain its power here? This #OpenKnowledge decision-making is #transparent and #participatory.

It's unfortunate—and an opportunity for improvement—that 'anarchy' and 'anarchism' as a movement are terms defined in relation to what they are _not_.

Not much work was done today, but I have been doing a bit of reading recently. Including some great work on #participatory #autism research by @krysiawally & Nathan Keates, and on academic #ableism & (independent) disabled scholars by Armineh Soorenian (a little too close to home & very important). Plus Sara Ahmed's 'Living a Feminist Life,' which *everyone* should read.

Hello 👋 I’ve recently moved so here is a new #introduction. I’m an academic working on #regional development and #governance. I’m especially interested in #migration, #urban planning, #labour, and more recently #participatory democracy. I’m an #economist by training but now do mostly #interdisciplinary work with colleagues in #geography #sociology and #philosophy. My hobby is #photography especially #macro and #landscapes, although I struggle to find the time. This is my crazy #dog Fonzie!

@fleg When I say there is a deadlock, I mean that people generally recognise the usefulness of the new AI tools but they are confused what that means for authorship, because we don’t have the concept of #transformation being an art itself.

The copyright lobby has taken a firm stance, but somewhat one-sided. The academic hopefuls of pre-millenia were sidelined, and our concepts of authorship in art did not develop into a more #participatory form.

One of the most popular functions of #SocialMedia is people saying whatever it is they feel they need to say about the #political situation(s) of the moment. It's relentless, and I've done it too a number of times, though I do try to use social media for other topics more.

I think this constant use of social media for political comment is because we have almost no other way to participate politically except in casting votes every 2-4 years.

We need a proper #participatory political system.

Taking #ClimateAction to the streets...
"Under the proposed changes, anyone who intentionally or recklessly engages in conduct that obstructs the free passage of a public place would be at risk of a three-month jail sentence. A bill to introduce jail time and fines of up to $50,000 recently passed parliament's lower house. South Australia's opposition leader has defended controversial penalties intended to deter disruptive public #protests, saying that in some countries "your head would be cut off" for taking to the streets."

Awesome new blog post from @opennorth, sharing thoughts on their Mozfest workshop testing a "highly practical, contextualized, pragmatic, and above all deeply #inclusive and #participatory approach to #datagovernance" :D

We've made it to the Fediverse (Thanks social.coop!) Time for an #introduction.

We're a UK-based #nonprofit set up by @JeniT with a mission to campaign to give communities a powerful say in decisions about data to create a just, equitable & sustainable world.

We work on #narratives, #datapolicy & practices of #collective & #participatory #datagovernance. We strive to work in the open. Regular #weeknotes here: https://connectedbydata.org/blog/#weeknotes & info about the team here: https://connectedbydata.org/about#team

#Participatory #voting at events: Part 1—Introduction https://is.gd/q4pdLT #eventprofs #assnchat #facilitation

'Starting from the South' highlights the need to centre Southern understandings and approaches in #humanitarian and #development #aid.

My chapter on #knowledgemanagement outlines new starting points for collaboration between Southern and Northern actors - towards genuinely #participatory #localised and #inclusive #KM4D.

The book was edited by the fantastic team of Margit van Wessel, Tiina Kontinen, and Justice Nyigmah Bawole.

Governments around the world are experimenting with #participatory #democracy eg participatory budgeting #pb.

Surprisingly little is known about the #information #literacy/ies of the community representatives frequently used to express community opinions.

Now: a chance to gain a #PhD in this with me at @EdinburghNapier, and become the world expert in this area.

Find out more here: https://blogs.napier.ac.uk/social-informatics/2022/12/funded-phd-opportunities-2023

Note: closing date: 15 January

Please boost/share amongst your contacts. Thanks!

@seanalan #EmergentStrategy is such a beautifully written and informative book.

I just purchased #AdrienneMareeBrown's book #HoldingChange and am looking forward to delving into that more into the new year.

Happy to take other recommendations about #movement & #antioppression #facilitation, #Participatory processes, and #DemocraticGovernance

Making it groove! Entrainment, participation and discrepancy in the'conversation'of a jazz trio

Focusing on a live performance by a jazz trio, this case study examines the wordless dialogical 'groove' between musicians. Building on ethnomusicological theories of interaction in conjunction with the notion of entrainment, the study makes use of in-depth temporal analysis of musical interaction alongside the reported phenomenal experiences of the participating musicians.
This approach provides an intriguing triangulation between subjective experience and 'hard' temporal data and thus moves to a consideration of musical meaning away from the formal properties of a work and towards the dynamic interactions of the players. While the study of pragmatics has undoubtedly been important in the refinement of scholarly research into music performance, this article suggests that a turn to 'groove' may be of use in broadening our conceptions of linguistic interchange.
