When possible, refer all matters to committees.

Show me a business or a school or a church that is preoccupied with its customers or clients, determined to do its best for them and not just to survive for the sake of surviving, and I'll bet you that they don't have time for too many committees, for forms, for politicking or for nitpicking about mistakes. Those are the organizations which are fun to be in, which give you room to be yourself, to express yourself, to grow.

"#JamieZawinski has #repeatedly said:

Now hear me out, but What If…? #browser #development was in the hands of some kind of #nonprofit #organization?

In my #humble but #correct #opinion, #Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

#Building THE #reference #implementation #WebBrowser and
Being a jugular-#snapping #attack #dog on #standards #committees.
There is no 3."
"Perhaps this is the only #viable #resolution."

"#Mozilla, for all its many #failings, has #invented a lot of #amazing #tech, from #Rust to #Servo to the #leading #budget #phone #OS. It shouldn't be trying to #capitalize on this #stuff. Maybe 3encourage it to have semi-independent #spinoffs, such as #Thunderbird, and as #KaiOS ought to be, and as #Rust could have been."
"But #JamieZawinski has the only #clear #vision and #solution we've seen yet. Perhaps he's #right, and #Mozilla #should be a #nonprofit, #working to #fund the one #independent, non-#vendor-driven, #standardscompliant #browserEngine."

It is a co-design step where residents are randomly chosen to serve on #committees to discuss the ideas submitted, prioritize projects that address the needs of the borough, and identify the final ideas to be put to vote by the public.

After the sessions, #NewYorkers are invited to vote and decide which projects they would like to see implemented in their borough.

#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Christopher #Hebling: “#Hydrogen as a #solution - as an #energy #source and #climate #protector of the #future”

In 2022, for example, he has been appointed to the #Expert Group “#Transformation of the #Automotive Industry”, which is under the leadership of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (#BMWK) of the Federal Government:

“#Decarbonization, #digitalization and strengthening #supply networks: these are the challenges and at the same time the opportunities for the #automotive industry in #Germany.”

The interview with him is also particularly interesting because his #expertise in political and industrial #committees means that he also has a lot of #background knowledge about the institutional #implementation options.

Anyway, the colleague in question said something like "I hardly think anyone would receive emails like that" (referring to the insults and unprofessional examples). I think she lost the room at that point--a big deal, since this group enjoys piling on someone who can be labeled as "not supporting students"--because I saw some nods. Other people have received a lot of bullshit emails, too.

The policy was not passed. I may have told my colleagues that, if it were passed, I would comply by creating a copy-paste reply, possibly an automatic reply, that simply said "This acknowledges the receipt of your email."

4/4
