Yep, this is a summing up of the good and the bad of the current “herding cats” path we keep fallowing.
But cats are cats, the last time we came together to be humane in this space was a few years ago with the #EU outreach EU outreach - If we dont tell our story am not sure who will, and we still have that story to tell.
There are well trodden paths out of this mess Funding application for RIPE - openwebgovernancebody - Open Media Network a group of us need to take one of these paths if we are not to be consumed by #mainstreaming, which is not a bad outcome - BUT ALSO NOT A GOOD OUTCOME anyone here wants.
It’s good we are talking about being more than cats, it’s a step, but if we keep walking on different paths we are still cats, not humane at all.
To do “marketing” we need to buy into what we are #openweb #4opens #OGB I have been talking about this here for meany years, have been working at the coal face of this for 20 years, are we building a consensus here or are we JUST going to be cats?
Practically, how do we “empower” the story of what the #fedivers is, and why it has value and relevance at all.
