Poll: Should SocialHub be scoped to AS/AP or Social Web?

@strypey

here’s no point writing “standards” that only the author will ever use. Technical standards creation is, for better or for worse, a political process.

Am glad someone said that, as it is the major issue with the mess we are in now. Which comes from the blocking of this path. On socialhub, the hard shift a year ago to focus on FEP process, enacted with prejudice. Can now be seen as the dangerous move it was.

A start to look at this - the right-wing metaphor on the #SWF thread, as there is a #geekproblem block on the left/progressive path currently:

@hamishcampbell

Let’s try a right-wing metaphor:

Well, this playground is full of noise.

In this noise the is much sense, but no grown up action, in a children’s playground it is the adults that are in control, the binding, the ones who make the decisions.

The children play, yes with noise and creativity, true, which can be beautiful to see.

But this playground noise has little relevance to the world of adults who do the work of change and challenge, so the children can be free to play.

OK, that’s a right-wing view, how to bridge this to a left wing path, you can find grounded thinking, plans and native projects linked from http://hamishcampbell.com that balance this mess we make.

Back to the right-wing metaphor. The subject of this thread the #SWF are grown-ups, yes there are real questions, if we trust the path they are taking, but it’s the only grown up path, we are the children in the playground here.

END right wing metaphor.

Q. Do you guys prefer the cats metaphor or the child and playground metaphor, which one do you think could work its way around #geekproblem and hyper individualism (#stupidindividualism) #blocking of the change and challenge we URGENTLY need

#Socialhub needs a reboot as its been though this process Navigating the Dynamics of Alt-Projects – Hamish Campbell have a read, and think if we can join the adults (in the righwing metaphor) or heard liberation cats (left wing metaphor) The metaphor of cat herding – Hamish Campbell

Ps. I am not saying the fep process has no value, rather it’s opaque with little buy in from the wider community, which very much hampers the value it should have.
