Good morning Fedi friends!

I'm currently packing my suitcase - destination: Amsterdam! Tomorrow I have the great honor of speaking on a panel at @publicspaces about the Fediverse: conference.publicspaces.net/en

And right after, in the same room, there will be this superb panel: "No Musk, Zuckerberg or Trump can shut us down" feat. @bjoernsta and @andypiper (just reading the title makes me erupt in applause).

Wishing everyone a great day! 🌞

conference.publicspaces.netEngagement Strategies for the Fediverse PublicSpaces Conference

A friend bought two tickets for the @publicspaces conference at the @waag (13 june) but because of a family emergency will not be able to attend.

Anyone interested in helping him out? He bought the tickets with early bird discount (75 euro per ticket), but if you're short of cash I'm sure he would be willing to adjust.

Would be a shame if the tickets go to waste!

7.6: Abundance, Inclusion, Resilience: The One Million Neighbours Project with Sam Nabi

This episode, Ariel speaks to Sam Nabi about One Million Neighbours, a project bringing together the voices of local non-profits that envisions the future of Waterloo Region once the population has reached one million. Sam discusses the impetus for the project, providing a voice for the voiceless, the issue with grant applications, funding the future, being proactive instead of reactive to harsh policies, and much more. What might an abundant, inclusive, resilient (Ariel says: solarpunk) city look like on the human level? Who lives there, what do they value, and what are their daily lives like? And what does it look like to take action now at the regional/municipal level to ensure that utopian vision?
