A shorter newsletter today … more an indication of too much to do than too little. Let’s dive straight in.
NEWS
// You might like this video excerpt of last Friday’s regular Zoom call during which digi.me’s Josie Hirtenstein joined us to talk personal data and vendor relationship management.
// Your fellow co-founding member, Diderik van Wingerden, has been in touch to tell us about Koppelting, an annual grassroots festival about peer production and free/libre alternatives for society that takes place next week in the Netherlands. It is filled with projects, lectures, debates and workshops, and is co-created by the attendees. Anyone can contribute, whether by giving a lecture, a workshop or demonstration, or by simply participating, helping out and engaging in good discussion.
// Not only do we have final draft copy for our new upcoming website, we also have draft editorial guidelines for any and all budding contributors. Shout up if that’s you on the Website Crew channel.
// Finally, I’m pleased to report that the current balance of our collective membership fees has been transferred from the temporary bank account to our very own account at the Co-operative Bank under the diligent management of the Interim Management Circle.
