We need to create a copy of the slide deck for the creation of the PDF. This because the deck is optimized for dark mode (i.e. image has white text). As for the calendar ‘icon’… it’s just a Unicode character. Here’s the line to include:

I would still consider also mentioning no Vendor lock-in, as this is a consideration for IT departments when selecting software. It can be combined here i.e. “no user / vendor lock-in”. I made that change, and added info to slide notes.
The list row has on EU side “Anti-monopoly, pro-innovation” but lacks innovation on fedi side, while I think this is our strong point. Anyone can start their own cool app and start integrating with the fabric of the fedi. I included “makers space / innovation lab”.
What was the main criticism about? Maybe we can make the slide stronger still.
I find this a bit unclear too. I think it means that you are under the whim of the platform’s modus operandi. Nowadays - from business perspective - e.g. deplatforming (for instance auto-triggered by an algorithm seeing a keyword it doesn’t like in your content) and then subsequently not having access to a support desk to correct mistakes, can take entire businesses out of operation in a second. I added 3 sub-bullets:
- Random deplatforming
- Algorithmic censorship
- No support desk
Agree with @hamishcampbell. I don’t find mention of “web enclosure” both on DDG and Google Search. If it were a well-established concept we might use it, but the “open → closed → open” is a comprehensive and telling tale of what we want to achieve. I changed the slide accordingly.
I disagree on this. It is good to show that in different domains we have alternatives to choose from. @CristinaDeLisle will highlight some of the prominent entries, and after the webinar the audience can discover what more is out there.
But both the innovation and the lack of vendor lock-in come from the variety of alternatives that are being developed, while they still interoperate together.
If this stokes bad feelings in the Fediverse, then it is pretty immature of those offended. We just highlight some examples, and mention at the bottom of the slide that there’s much more to delve into. (Note: agree with @how, too strong, and I apologized for that)
I like the term “humanism” (thanks to you I will use it more often), and I feel the slide has space for it. According to Wikipedia:
Humanism is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, both individually and collectively.
This is most fitting for Fediverse. I added it in the slide. @CristinaDeLisle please remove if you feel uncomfortable with it.
