Personal views. General counsel & CPO OASIS: open source and open standards. IPR, cybersec, civictech, privacy, AI security, DLT. Still a for-real lawyer, in court and as a mediator in tech. If I wanted <neutral-*> alignment, I would have stayed on Wall Street. Ex-corporate law partner, ex-Minnesota. LA-based. Still also @jamiexml on birdsite, but be careful there, it's largely compromised.

Folks don't understand how open source contributions work. If you want a feature, you don't come and say "make me this feature". Instead, you open a PR and ask for it to get merged.
Folks don't understand how community conferences work. If you want something to happen in the conference, you don't come and say "make this happen for me". Instead, you say "I want to volunteer and do this for your conference".
In Europe for a few weeks, so, time zones. In the meantime, I'm watching a TV commercial in an airport bar. 🍻✈️📺 • It's for some giant model of Nissan truck. Seven Nation Army, or Behemoth, or Nissan Chonk or something like that. • Family driving through streams and four-wheels over logs and rocks in the woods. Vroom. Sitting in the backseat, Sissy sees a bear foraging to catch some salmon … and points. Daddy I wanna see the bear! So Dad offroads Chonky Boi over a few more rocks and up cliffs, to get close to the very large brown bear, so Sissy can lean waaaay out to take a picture. Smile, Mister Bear! • Two seconds after this shot, which ended the commercial, the bear spits out the salmon, charges, and eats Sissy. You'd be smiling too. 🐻🐟🍴🤡 • Ever have any #cybersecurity or #privacy clients that sorta remind you of Dad and Sissy?
Spending the afternoon in a Las Vegas hotel bar, drinking and writing some creative legal documents. In that order. Just in case you were wondering.
We've got a number of open positions to work with a dynamite global team of Internet advocates and technologists here at @internetsociety and @isoc_foundation@mastodon.social ! 1/4
Looking back at it, maybe Myspace Tom was a good friend after all, given he sold the company and just went travelling with his money instead of trying to overthrow democracy.

My city has an event where people could color in a drawing of the cathedral tower and send in the coloring, and now they are projecting them on to the tower. It is fantastic.
Happy day, whatever you celebrate. And for the northern hemisphere, more daylight hours are on the way 😶🌫️

Contemplating world conquest. Possibly after the holidays. And a nap. #catsofmastodon
