Very nice! Remember, if there are any open source #ActivityPub projects you are working on, even when still in early stages, you can PR them to the #fediverse related lists on the delightful #commons initiative, create an issue, or ping me here and I'll put them on my (sizable) backlog to include them.
If we were atoms drifting among countless others in chaotic #commons of a petri dish.
How do we form tight molecules together, collaborate with other atoms around us? Equivalent to what #FOSS tries to do. We need good chemistry to make that happen. Take shape together, #organize, find #governance.
Laws of Nature. With many other molecules and atoms like us, how do we #unite? Form cohesive bonds. Become something much stronger still. How do we reach atoms remotely in vast petri dish space, eternities away?
Akin to how we try on #fedi too. Form substance. Take more meaningful shape. But how? We're organic matter, and our tech is rock hard.
How do we form a biological #ecosystems within this dish? #Sustainable, able to #survive? How do we become alive, gain collective #awareness, #agency, ability to act as #collectively?
Finally how are we able to thrive? Find #freedom? Organisms liberated from this dish?

My personal thanks goes out to the many people that helped me stick around in this great #ActivityPub space full of fedizens.
Especially grateful I am, for their consistent support during many yeas, towards the @EUCommission who with @ngi and @nlnet made a BIG difference to where the fediverse stands today.
It goes to show that only with a little "breadcrumb funding" - as I call it in my #SocialExperience piece on my years of navigating chaotic #commons, doing #CommonsJanitoring and #CommonsCustodian duties - can already achieve so so much 馃獧馃獧
I hope for further improvement to the #funding facilities that are available to #FOSS and #SocialWeb cocreators, and look expectedly to upcoming changes in the #HorizonEU grant programs and their alignment to our fediverse developer ecosystem.
PS. You can find my definition of #BreadcrumbFunding in the "Challenges of standardization" section of my blog post, right before the call to ideation.

In this rushed world of ours, do you still have #time on your hands here and there? And love spending it on building and nurturing our sustainable and safe #fedi gardens?
Do you want be more deeply involved in weaving delightful #SocialFabric? Play a part in #SocialWeb future?
Then #SocialHub, the discussion forum for #ActivityPub developers, has #vacancies for you!
The #FEP Process as well as the #W3C #SocialCG, the two major standardization bodies that drive #fediverse future, are inclusive and open to anyone to contribute their 2 cents.
Become a #CommonsCustodian now..
Help cocreate a 馃拑馃暫 #peopleverse.

Very appropriate indeed. This is the *core* practice that #SX applies, underpinned by its simple life #philosophy, called innercircles. It's expressed it in its tagline of 'simple solutions still exist'.
Including #solutions to our most wickedest problems.
https://innercircles.community
Assumption is that ALL wisdom, knowledge, common sense, and life experience that we need for a (wicked) solution, already exist. That its laying on the street, while we overlook and trample upon it in our rushed day-to-day of modern #society ratrace.
Hence the first 4 hedonic drivers are: center, think, act, feel. Center means to orient, to know what you want, up to what your dreams are. Then you think before you act, so you will feel what you want to feel, and make progress towards realization of your dreams, large and small.
SX #methodology being so holistic in #nature, and using #EmergentDesign, can incorporate with ease ANY other tool or method that yields positive result and best-practice.
I'm working on another blog post titled "Revolutionary evolution" which relates to possible outcome of #SX design with emergent forces. Where an unexpected "Spark of ignition" is possible and a #commons is able to ignite into massive concerted action + cocreation. Such that value creation and aggregation enables "Revolution by evolution".
However before it gets to that, a SX solution first has to pass the #ParadoxOfEmergence point, where the *true* Value for the first time becomes really apparent to people who are not deeply engrossed in the mechanics of the ethereal, intangible #EmergenceDesign if it's choreographed for #Potential for radical #change.
PS. Emergence design means 'with emergent forces', which is different than #EmergentDesign, where the #design itself evolves gradually, through investment and #progression on the "Solution path".
It has relationship to how we reinvent wheels, and also how well-intended contributions may lead to really bad outcomes at scale.
Emergence. So fascinating, that. I came to some deep insight re: commons organization, a concept I call the Paradox of (commons based) Emergence. Hope to post a forum topic on it soon.
I told so often on the channels that I shouldn't explain so much about SX concepts. That it was a failure condition. And it is. It was also my method to reiterate to myself for testing and improving them against various statements. And to jog my bad memory.
#SX #ThoughtExperiment. #Emergence needs 2 ingredients: Simple building blocks and a set of rules. What if you were the first person to invent chess? For chess you can write them down in a heartbeat. Then though, this first designer / inventor of the game, who thinks it through..
Can they imagine at that time Magnus Carlson level complexity?
1/2
There exist no other chess players yet. Can they train with others? Will they understand the excitement of a deep philosophical session where the inventor got an inkling of Magnus Carlsen level genius? Probably not.
Today there are libraries full of chess books. But not then. Should the inventor write all that? He can't. The only way to 'spread' chess about, is for others to experience it with others: social experience. Learn by doing.
My mistake was that I was encouraging people into *doing*, but my continuous explanation seemed to ask "join me on something very complex and vague". That complex and vague being the reverse engineering of complex social dynamics that exist in the #commons, back to simple building blocks and rules. What an emergent designer does. But not at all what you need to know to participate in SX solutions. Everyone does their own thing.
The paradox: Concrete SX practice steers intangible emergent value creation, but what you see at a time is just your 2 cents.
