       @mntmn 💯 I prefer informal every day of the week. I can’t really write and read from a script, and winging it for a long presentation can be very hit or miss depending on the energy and inspiration of the day (and stress has quite a negative effect on both)My favorite setting is the barcamp setting that eg IndieWebCamps have (I guess CCC is similar, haven’t visited yet, but my Flattr colleagues as well as Tim Pritlove spoke well about it back in the day)

       @eff @arstechnica GDPR in EU regulates this (though I think it’s not really fully enforced, but risking a GDPR fine is not something one wants)

       Conway's law applied to open source projects is an interesting exercise when they become professionalized:They go from collaborative dog fooding that solves the needs of the individual contributors – the producers and consumers are one – “prosumers”Instead they become projects that’s maintained for someone else – the prosumer and the dog fooding is replaced with customers, users and producers (some consumers donate, “customers”, others simply use it, “users”)

       Conway’s law states that a system design will mimic its organization structure: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_lawWhat happens when a project moves from a being a byproduct of collaboration and dog fooding to become its own purpose?Will they lose the very character that gave open source projects the magic that they wield?Will they become yet another  product made with money as its purpose rather than being built as part of real world use cases?Important aspect when we strive to make OSS sustainable

       Does sustainable open source means more professional maintainers or does it mean more paid time for maintenance?I think the true revolution comes when every developer is encouraged and empowered to collaborate with the wider world.We need the contribution of the masses, not the professionalisation of the few.

       Eg: A radical concept that would turn the concept of government and corporate OSS funding on its head would be:Tech unions that negotiates time for OSS contributions into the union agreements they sign with companies and which sorts the intellectual property dilemmas inherent in such contributions in the very same agreement.Making OSS be a solidarity movement between developers rather than a movement for corporations and governments.

       @dansup @evan There’s actually existed such a one: Flattr integrated with the Fediverse before the term Fediverse existed (implemented OStatus) and eg. experimented with an identity graph crawler to make easier claiming of content: https://voxpelli.com/2012/10/relspider-what-why/
