When you had no plans for the evening, then you find out from a friend that there’s a book launch on the topic of cooperative alternatives beyond markets & states. Win!

Looking into tech strategy stuff. Coming across frameworks like TOGAF, ArchiMate. Hoping there’s a bit of a simpler starting point, something like Community Canvas but for tech.

travis ci is fantastic, but the workflow for building up the build script is a real pain – commit, wait for build to execute, hit an error, repeat.

I enjoyed the No Gods, No Masters documentary for giving a bit of a historical lay of the land of anarchism. However, it’s very battle-heavy and full of conflict. (Maybe it has to be?) Regardless, I would like to see a companion piece with more discussion on the history and evolution of the ideas, not just the struggle. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5t1cr7

IANAL but I’m not sure how I feel about CrowdJustice (https://www.crowdjustice.com/). Definitely laudable that it can help provide access to justice for those that otherwise might not get it. On the other hand, if access to justice is so dependent on money the whole system seems entirely borked in the first place.

What’s a good, non-megacorp option for online language translations? I found apertium.org and it looks good but sadly (for me) it doesn’t seem to translate into English. tatoeba.org looks nice too, but it appears you can only translate word-by-word (maybe this is a good thing 🙂 )

One thing I’m really enjoying about Mastodon is the plurality of languages. I don’t know if it’s random or by design, or simply a product of my network, but I see toots in various languages, and I find this very healthy.

I like the co-operative principles, and particularly #7 (“Co-operatives work for the sustainable development of their communities”) – but I think it should give a nod to remote communities and the planet as a whole. Is it implied perhaps? I suppose you could interpret “community” as you want.

The seven co-operative principles:

Open and voluntary membership
Democratic member control
Member economic participation
Autonomy and independence
Education, training and information
Co-operation among co-operatives
Concern for community

Made a bit of progress setting up a travis ci build for my website – https://github.com/ngm/doubleloop-specs/blob/master/.travis.yml. Not fully working yet, but a good start.
