Mastodon entwickelt sich weiter: Gründer Eugen Rochko übergibt seine Rolle als CEO, um sich künftig auf die technische Entwicklung zu konzentrieren. Die Führung geht an eine neue europäische Non-Profit-Organisation über. Ziel ist, Mastodon dauerhaft als dezentrales, werbefreies und gemeinnütziges soziales Netzwerk zu sichern. Dieser Schritt soll organisatorische Stabilität schaffen und die Abhängigkeit von Einzelpersonen reduzieren. Die neue Struktur stärkt die Unabhängigkeit von Mastodon, erleichtert Kooperationen und verbessert die Vertretung gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit. Eugen bleibt als Entwickler und technischer Berater aktiv. Die Vision: Ein demokratischeres, transparenteres und dauerhaft community-getriebenes Netzwerk.
• Rochko tritt als CEO zurück
• Neue Non-Profit führt Mastodon
• Fokus auf Transparenz und Stabilität
• Weiterhin dezentral, werbefrei und offen
• Entwicklerrolle bleibt bei Eugen

#Pentagon's #AI metals program goes #private
A US govt-created #ArtificialIntelligence program that aims to predict the supply & price of critical #minerals has transferred control to a #nonprofit organization that is helping miners & manufacturers strike #supply deals.
Launched in late 2023 under #Biden’s the Dept of #Defense, the Open Price Exploration for #NationalSecurity AI #metals program is an attempt to counter #China's control of the critical minerals sector.
So even former #OpenAI employees think the conversion from #Nonprofit to ForProfit is suspect. Here's their open letter to the Attorneys General https://notforprivategain.org/
At a time of great threat to #civilsociety - and great imaginations at work about new org forms and #funding - this is important.

Anyone a #lawyer in #NorthCarolina ? lol Trying to figure out this #Articles of #Incorporation for #NonProfit and it's asking for a "limitation provision." I'm assuming that's you defining limitations, but I don't have a clue where to find this, what to write, etc. Anyone have any suggestions?
#Democrats on the #Senate Cmte on #Environment & #Public Works complained in a letter to #LeeZeldin in March that the cancellation of 400 #grants in the name of eliminating #DEI & #EnvironmentalJustice violated several #court orders & terms of #EPA contracts.
At least one #nonprofit group is suing to reactivate an $11.4M grant that was frozen for North Charleston’s Union Heights in South Carolina, one of the first #Black communities established after emancipation from #slavery.

The Spokane Spokesman-Review newspaper is going nonprofit:

Spokane is a big blue island in the mostly-very-low-population red part of Washington State. It's important that they haven't gone to some damn vulture fund operator or more some pink slime fascist noise machine.
Particularly if you're out on the dry side, you might throw them some support.

A #Vera Institute attorney then asked on the call what #legal authority #DOGE had to demand involvement with an independent, #nonprofit org, acc/to the transcript. The DOGE employees reportedly responded that there was no point in getting into details since the #DOJ already terminated Vera’s grants.
It was unclear how many groups #DOGE aims to be involved in, but working w/more groups could represent a dramatic expansion of DOGE’s influence in the admin’s operations.…
Based on a transcript of the meeting prepared by the institute, DOGE reps seemed unaware that #Vera Institute recently lost its #FederalGrants & of how #nonprofit groups that receive grants operate differently from govt entities that have independence from the executive branch.
A member of #DOGE last week emailed the #Vera Institute of Justice — an independent #nonprofit organization that advocates for lower incarceration rates — to schedule a meeting about “getting a DOGE team assigned to the organization,” acc/to a copy of the email that was reviewed by WaPo.
“If I do not hear from you, I will assume you do not plan to comply with the President’s #ExecutiveOrder,” said the email from DOGE rep Nate Cavanaugh….
