We just had our first meeting of the Open Social Incubator cohort today. So inspiring to meet these extraordinary people from around the world. I can't wait for the communities they build here.

For anyone, the Open Social Incubator project is ... https://www.colorado.edu/lab/medlab/2024/09/11/open-call-join-open-social-incubator
...an example of how people can build technical #skills to create #communities in online spaces that are democratically-run, open #SocialNetworks, not corporate spaces that are run by autocrats.

What a fantastic project! Is there a handbook we could look at if we wanted to replicate this in Aotearoa? I'm thinking particularly of reaching out to tangata whenua (indigenous people) to help them communicate autonomously online.

@strypey @CaitlinWaddick We'll publish outcomes from it probably next summer! And in the new year we'll open up an online forum with the cohort. Get on the @medlab newsletter for updates.
