and for me personally the meeting was very nice. cool to meet good people interesting in this stuff IRL instead of just online.
the group has been going for some years. i recently joined after i was invited to present #BeYourOwnPlatform at their anti big-tech festival.
we have many things we want to do!
- influence politicians to have a MUCH healthier strategy than just buying lots of products to "be more effective" (lol). like, say fuck no to palantir who just visited norway...
- find good alternative platforms for people and help them. like nextcloud or fedi, or even just libre office.
- write in the paper and organize panel discussions around these topics. (e.g. they had cory doctorow in one)
maybe @derhagen would like to add something?
today i attended my first meeting as a new member of the norwegian working group on democratic digitalization!
playing at ekko festival in bergen on saturday.
worked very well to rehearse @live on stream yesterday!
still tweaking setlist and planning. very useful to do this in front of an audience.
