'Lonesome No More' is the campaign slogan of the protagonist of Kurt Vonnegut's book 'Slapstick' as he runs to become President of the USA. He passes a law which gives every US Citizen a new middle name, comprising a flower name and a number (such as 'Daffodil-8'). In this way, every citizen acquires a set of ~10k brothers and sisters, and 100k cousins (Daffodils with other number suffixes). since these families are assigned at random, these new families cut across all divides.

6/22/2022To build an open, federated marketplace for collaborations; a social technology supported by digital tooling, a global community and a world-wide movement of local events. A kickstarter-meets-angellist for the new economy. A place where a person with a purpose can search and find valuable collaborators to make a shared dream a reality. They can form a crew, organise the collaboration, make good agreements, and work in concert towards shared goals. A system enabling crews to find each other and discover purposes, projects and teams to support through easy to use software tools based around open protocols. A software system and movement of local events enabling incentivised curation of people, crews and projects. A system for effective social discovery based on data sovereignty, open protocols and open software.
5/16/2021After Feb 16 conversation with Liam Imaginary blog post from a User: "Thoughts after a year in Colabora" Since people are asking me; 'What's Colabora like?', I thought I'd set out what it looks like to me, as an ordinary member. Most simply, I experience a messaging feed as my key interface. I can swipe between different feed streams. Each stream kind of feels like a place: my home, my groups, the world. I'm in Colabora because I hope to increasingly experience combinations of: work that is meaningful, congenial colleagues, viable rewards, acceptable autonomy/constraint balance, high productivity, work that feels like life, minimal system-imposed bullshit. At Home, my feed consists only of messages and sources I have elected to see. Then I can jump into a Group I'm connected to (Groups tend to have a few sub-channels, too), or I go out into the World to look for something new.
