@creativecommons @cgreen I trust Dr Green will be presenting using his preferred #FOSS operating system to demonstrating by example inclusive and sustainable use of technology to support open.

@billymeinke @creativecommons The "bazaars" are the only sustainable way forward imo. I'm betting that a multitude of "community gardens" could be a safer option than the "big ship". Too many deck chairs to move around in a restricted space.

On #NewZealandNationalDay, our warmest wishes to all. With your support, @COL4D has become a true catalyst for positive change for a third of the world's population. Pleased to have @CarolineSeelig as our Board Member.

@misc_nerd @Zawacki_Richter @_COER_ @UniOldenburg Its easy - you just search for the user in the format of username@instance, for example mine on the server Olaf is using is @[email protected] and it will find the user irrespective of the fediverse server they are using for the search. Hope that helps.

Hi friends, for the time being you can find me at:
@[email protected]. Grateful to @Mackiwg, @lightweight, and the @OERuniversitas crew for creating a space

[Wayne Mackintosh @Mackiwg]

@_valeriei @edtechfactotum @abstractica @colinmadland Very important question. We tackle this challenge through citizenship education. It's a better solution than trusting mega corporations chasing profit to do the right thing. Our NZ experience with the Chch attacks being a case in point.

[Wayne Mackintosh @Mackiwg]

@_valeriei @edtechfactotum @colinmadland @abstractica One instance at a time 😇

[Wayne Mackintosh @Mackiwg]

@_valeriei @edtechfactotum @colinmadland @abstractica The model is inherently scalable for institutions who want it to scale. This is not a technology problem, but rather an institutional leadership problem. Crossing thus chasm is doable, but requires patience and education.

[Wayne Mackintosh @Mackiwg]

@_valeriei @colinmadland @edtechfactotum @econproph There is accountability in the ecosystem. You can challenge a suspension based on the server's published rules - people have the right of response. People can join alternate instances without lock-in to a monopoly. Overtime instances build trust from the communities they support.

[Wayne Mackintosh @Mackiwg]

@anitsirk ...and so?

[Wayne Mackintosh @Mackiwg]

@davecormier So what do you really do these days? But more importantly why? Serious and honest question.

[Prof Asha Kanwar @ProfAshaKanwar]

Happy #IndependenceDay Tonga! @COL4D is proud to work with your government & institutions to expand access to quality #education & #training – our work in #OER & #L3F is particularly significant. Pleased to have @TongaPm @Huakavameiliku on COL Board of Governors. @EsauRaelyn

[LightweightMastodon @lightweight]

@ninetonoon Hundreds, possibly thousands, of NZers have moved off Twitter to Mastodon (part of the decentralised, non-corporate, non-profit community-run social media Fediverse I mentioned). Things are hopping. @radionz needs to be there, not just a bot.

[Wayne Mackintosh @Mackiwg]

@helgztech I miss the L too - PS can you DM me your email. Want to arrange a time for a web call.

[Wayne Mackintosh @Mackiwg]

@ammienoot @Apereo @openetc @TimothyDrysdale @EdinburghUni Wow! That is really impressive stuff and open source to boot.
