Here's my talk on why collective governance can prevent abusive power, and why distributed funding is necessary for collective governance. Thanks to @altctrlorg for inviting me, and to @fairpm for putting these ideas into practice. ❤️

How do you deal with difficulties in an #OpenSource project and community? “We chose the path of peace” said #TYPO3Association President Olivier Dobberkau at last night’s #AltCtrlOrg, a #wceu2025 side event. In #TYPO3’s 27-year history we have had our ups and downs too, but we’re still here. #WordPress #FOSS @typo3 @altctrlorg

I consider myself a "connector," so it pleases me to see projects that include and invite.
This is a WITH, and not an AGAINST!

#Decentralization is the key to most issues in a lot of topics, be it #WordPress (politics, data ownership, sustainability, etc)

For the love of open source!
