What was the best thing in this #WikimediaEurope 1° assembly (besides the magnificent #Prague) and wonderful human beings? I would say the sense of belonging. No more Chapters, UGs, ThOrgs, small or big affiliates, but a common house for all. Long life to #WMEU @a2na @dimi_z – at Prague, Czech Republic

“Unintended consequences of open”, “communing practices”, “permaculture of open” — these many beautiful (and SPOT ON!) phrases should not go unnoticed @a2na 😍

Also, thanks to @a2na for her thoughts on "permaculture of open", and @paul_keller for insights about how #ShareAlike requirement might be breaking in #AI life cycles

#WikiAI is a vision of an ecosystem where the practice of sharing is as important as contributions ♻️ @a2na calls this “permaculture of open”. Properly governed, #AI systems can support peer production and knowledge sharing instead of exploiting it.

we don't talk enough about disinformation in #open movement - it's one of major challenges to ecosystems that we are building. it's thus great to see this event (happening this Thursday)

The paradigm of free knowledge didn’t free the world – it might have reached its limit of growth. With “The Paradox of Growth,” Anna Mazgal @a2na responds to the #ParadoxofOpen. Come join us at the launch of “Paradox of Open: Responses” on 30/11 at 17 CET: openfuture.eu/event/open-fut…
The original concept, as coined by @atarkowski & @paul_keller in this extremely pleasurable-to-read article: paradox.openfuture.eu/ And the responses will come from: @a2na @derekslater @ZWarso #Tenisson #Dobosch #Boyle #Botero #Bodo
Also, both the (public) grief and the anger have been stirred up by the same event - QEII’s death: What makes the feelings of one set of people (mostly white, former colonisers) so much more important that another (mostly non-white, former colonised) need to suppress theirs?

Geo-blocking of audiovisual works goes against the EU goals of integration and diversity. Our Recommendation #15 asks the EU to ensure that audiovisual works available in one Member State are available in all MSs. It is @a2na’s favorite one. communia-association.org/pol…

There won’t be enough dead bodies to move the Christian fascists in our courts and in our government. Because they don’t care. Dying from a clandestine abortion is like killing a witch. You deserved it. 4/
