I learned about this story from the webinar @mayfirst did with @eff called, Can the Feds Get My Data?

@Creech it's that time!!!
I just proposed a hands-on workshop to improve a key Drupal contributed module with a product design process, rooted in design justice.
A call for a greener tech future that invites change and sparks debate. #SustainableIT, #GreenComputing, #EnergyEfficiency, #eWasteReduction, #DigitalSustainability, #GreenEnergy, #TechForGood, #DataCenterGreen, #CleanTech, #DigitalGreen, #EcoTech, #FutureTech, #GreenInnovation, #JoinGreenTech, #ActNow, #GlobalGreen, #TechSuccess, #GreenChallenges, #TechOpportunities, #BrightFuture, #NextGenGreen, #GreenSteps, #EcoAction, #InnovateGreen, #CleanInnovation, #GlobalUnity, #GreenWorld, #EcoEconomics, #SmartBusiness, #GreenPolicy, #SustainableRules, #GreenLearning, #TechAwareness, #CommunityTech, #CollaborateGreen, #MeasureGreen, #SmartMetrics, #NextGenGreen, #YoungTech, #EmbraceChange, #FutureGreen, #VisualGreen, #ArtAndTech, #BoldTech, #GreenLegacy

The #DrupalCon Nonprofit Summit just wrapped up and it was a big success.
Over 100 people got together for informative presentations and peer learning.
Highlights were:
- learning about the cool work happening with the Drupal CMS initiative that is making it a lot easier to get up and running with a Drupal website
- getting pumped about the #OpenWeb as a counterforce to Big Tech #enshittification
- sharing advice on doing more user research on websites
This is an idea I have been proposing for years. Super excited to see it hold ground and value for indigenous tribes. Excited to dive deeper into their approach, outcomes and challenges. https://atmos.earth/indigenous-groups-are-safeguarding-culture-with-their-own-chatgpt/ #indigenoustech #aiforunderstanding #communitytech
The FLOSS movement has failed to build a true counter power to Big Tech's hegemony.
However, I see this potential for tech autonomy with community tech.
It builds on the nonprofit, community centered aspects of free and open source software, while addressing its shortcomings.
Boosts and opinions on what I've outlined in my blog post very welcomed.

For those of you who build and support #Drupal websites, the Drupal CMS team thoroughly reviewed all the cookie consent banner tools out there.
They found that Klaro Cookie & Consent Management worked the best. I'm using it on a project now and so far so good.
Here's a full record of their decision making process.

Tech Cartographies
"The Internet is a territory in dispute, a struggle that impacts the futures of our democracies and possible paths towards climate and socio-environmental justice."
This interactive map is a fantastic visualization of digital colonialism. A tool we can use to understand, resist and also grow a decolonized community tech.
I'm in community tech inception.
Using community tech ( @Vivaldi ) to research community tech to then publish my findings on community tech via community tech (@wikipedia) of which I am now talking about using community tech (@Mastodon)

I'm excited for the latest release of @penpot !
It introduces a plugin ecosystem anyone can contribute to and benefit from.
This really unlocks the open source potential of the project.
@mayfirst had the foresight to discuss the post election landscape*now* to meet the moment more prepared.
Here are the notes that came out of the question,
"What are the general messages and general approaches technologists should take post-election to support movements seeking better digital security?"
Drupal founder @dries chimed in on the WordPress debacle with a post recommending some of what's been on my mind - more formal expectations around contributing back to the project.
I do think there's some good lessons to learn from the Drupal contribution credit system, so it's worth a read for those involved in this whole mess.
The WordPress drama really highlights the need to move away from an opaque dictatorship governance model.
When the dictators stop being benevolent shit gets real messy.
Also, with a transparent, formal (and ideally democratic!) governance model it's easier for disputes to get resolved responsibly.
Are there folks in the WordPress community organizing around this? I'd be interested in supporting it.
If you hate your website and are wondering,
how did this happen??
who can I blame. 😒
can we redesign this hot garbage so that I'll enjoy (or at least tolerate) and *keep* enjoying it a year later?
@hanabel has some great observations and advice in their blog post.
