Happy New Year to all my friends and comrades, far and wide. Here's to a permanent ceasefire everywhere. ✌ 🌟

@ntnsndr I'd be curious to know what you make of it.

@ntnsndr On a side note, are you familiar with Solidarius.net, which includes the use of blockchain and solidarity credits?

@ntnsndr I once ended up in a hot spring with a yakuza boss and his underling. Hot springs, like watering holes, are neutral territory.

@ntnsndr Seems fine to me.

@ntnsndr Well, the nominations close on Dec 1st or thereabouts, so, if the jury can meet before the holidays, we can schedule the first OC meeting for January.

One tool I would love to see is a sortition program that takes a membership list, puts it in random order, sends invitations to the top x number of people, then automatically sends new invites to the next people on the list when the deadline for reply expires, until the places are filled.

@ntnsndr @shauna @arod @SocialCoop This, I think, is what I was hoping for:

"The ideal solution would be to integrate an RSS viewer into a Madison client, and set it to merge both timelines."

But it seems impossible....?

@ntnsndr Looks like an excellent start. The OC proposal envisioned giving each WG a budget and letting them figure out how to spend it (transparently). IMO it does make sense to hold this until the new year when we will have an OC to help organize this discussion.

@ntnsndr @shauna @arod @SocialCoop Is there a way to use RSS? I sometimes think that all we need is the ability to add links to the main mastodon interface, the way you can add links to your profile.

@ntnsndr @shauna @arod Or even, ccould a bot help us integrate loomio and mastodon such that members can more easily participate in governance and community-building?

@arod @ntnsndr 🙌

@ntnsndr Right, so why not play together with Loomio and see if we find/develop new tools together?

@ntnsndr I have two concerns related to basic organizing principles: when a group is already doing something that aligns with your strategy and values, don't start a new project that competes, and we need to practice intercooperation at this level. Dissipation is the enemy of solidarity networks, right?

@ntnsndr why not work on a Loomio integration of some kind?

@ntnsndr Dang, I forgot to register and now I can't get in...

@ntnsndr Can't make it. Hope it gets recorded.

@ntnsndr Oh FFS!

@evan Fabulous moustache.

@evan why are you doing these polls? Not objecting, just mystified.
