After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Cooperative Development Guidelines now have a Governance Document that can be used by any Organization/Foundation/Collective/Community/Project that wants to have a governance based on participatory, equity and permacomputing/accessibility principles.
Its time for us to finally start building participatory digital commons, that are developed by the community and for the community and the Governance document is part 1 of doing just that. (Decision making and Structure will follow after this).
I am also excited to announce that @queerspark has also been listed as a collective that adopted pieces of the Cooperative Development Guidelines.

Why “Only 3.1% Inflation” Is the Biggest Lie of 2025.
They say inflation is cooling. But your invoices, rent, and supplies say otherwise. Entrepreneurs in NL, you’re not imagining it.
You’re being squeezed. Hard.
Read this before you drown.

This #NGIFORUM panel on #governance is interesting. What is missing is that the is a native #openweb project that came directly out of the original ActivityPub outreach to the #EU
https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=OGB this so far has been ignored by the funders, you can see this in the link above. Q. When will we support native paths to balance the current #NGO and #geekproblem mess in the bureaucratic paths.
"What went wrong"!!! It is a good slogan. Yes #NGI it is a mess creating #techshit to feed the fashionistas. So good question.
Better #FOSS governance is a part of rebalancing this, so please look at the link above, thanks.

Heather Cox Richardson raises alarming concerns about President Trump's actions at the recent G7 meeting, which resemble mob-style governance. He asserts control over U.S. Steel, echoes Russian narratives on Ukraine, and deregulates environmental protections, alongside proposed sales of public land without input. These trends parallel Watergate's lessons, highlighting resistance in the judicial system.

The Orkney's dream of leaving the UK, or at least gaining more autonomy, after two years of investigation seem to be dead....
However, the frustrations with rule from the mainland will continue to be exercised through a renegotiation of its relations with the Scottish Govt.
My guess is a lot of others are watching these development with some interest....

Congrats on your publication! 
"...we need *fewer* satellites, each with *longer* operational lifetimes. Engineers: that's your challenge."
Seems to me that it could also be a #governance challenge. The #Space near #Earth is basically a village green. Putting junk up there willy-nilly could be considered a form of #pollution. We know that pollution CANNOT be controlled by #free_markets.
Just sayin'...
Edit: Above responding to your TLDR. Reading deeper you end with...
"Without far-reaching, international #regulation or self-imposed limits from satellite companies, current practices in LEO threaten the planet, and our ability to explore beyond it."
Agreed!

The #university's lawyers argued #DHS's action was part of an "unprecedented & retaliatory attack on #AcademicFreedom at #Harvard," which is pursuing a separate lawsuit challenging the admin's decision to terminate nearly $3B in federal #research #funding.
Harvard argues the #Trump admin is retaliating against it for refusing to accede to its demands to control the school's #governance, #curriculum & the #ideology of its #faculty & #students.
Continued thread
The university had argued that the #Trump admin's revocation was a "blatant violation of the #FirstAmendment" & punished the school for rejecting "the government's demands to control #Harvard's #governance, #curriculum, & the '#ideology' of its #faculty & #students."

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —
Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)
The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.

Federation is the word we use to describe that act of bringing together and connecting these separate Decentralized, Localized communities.
This is where protocols such as ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, etc come into play.
Federation is a voluntary choice.
But, so too is Defederation, if desired.

The message matters, as it can affect the future.
I think we should make a point to ALSO explicitly talk about 'Federation' and 'Localization' when we talk about 'Decentralization'.
Because if we don't, then — it is likely these values will be lost.
(I think we have already started seeing this in some places.)

In some ways it is unfortunate that the word 'Decentralization' has become a short-hand for the three ideas:
Decentralization, Federation, Localization
Some know that all the ideas are important — and that 'Decentralization' is a short-hand for all three.
But, many don't!
