Not joking: has one reporter responded to his preposterous Sgt Schultz “I know nothing” schtick by immediately asking: * Doesn’t this level of ignorance disqualify you as speaker? * Do you really think we are so dumb to believe you? * Do you think it is appropriate to insult the voters like this?

Club is back this weekend. This will be a writing focused session. The agenda for this week’s discussions is:

- Footers! It’s a design element that doesn’t get enough attention, so let’s talk about it. What have you put at the bottom of your website? Navigation? A contact form? Badges? Social media links?
- Styles of personal blogging: from super raw to super polished, there’s a broad spectrum in terms of how you express yourself on the IndieWeb. From writing style and voice to typography and layout, many elements come together to form what we call “style”. Let’s talk about our personal style when it comes to showing up online.

As usual, we will end the meetup with a prompt and a writing session. Get your tickets at blr.indiewebclub.org.

Great to be part of social.coop! Here's an : The People's Tech is aimed towards becoming a co-op based in England with a small team of Small Tech workers promoting technology at the intersection of privacy, security, sustainability, *and* inclusivity, Covid-safer and non-hierarchical, slowly rolling out public workshops discussing alternatives to Big Tech, plus private consultation for co-ops, non-profits, and campaign groups on how to make better choices (which has already begun!)

🚀 Ready to join mission control?

We're recruiting Admins to help guide our program for socials, fundraising, outreach, and program development. Enthusiastic folks with initiative read on! No Djangonaut experienced required.

Apply by Dec 12th! forms.gle/UD3gN3ngrEtAFien6

Djangonaut Space Admin Application

When we started Djangonaut Space we had 5 active and enthusiastic co-founders, but life happens and, exactly as we encourage folks to do, some stepped back for other priorities. Tim and Rachell have decided to expand the team and open the application for the admin team. What: The work required is likely 5 hours a month, depending on the role, with 1-2 synchronous meetings and other asynchronous chats. Though this is not an exhaustive list some things we are looking for help with are: Social Media (blog, brand, socials) Fundraising and Financial (grant process management, fundraising) Program Development (for sessions but also to keep past participants engaged) Outreach and Recruitment (for Djangonauts, Captain, and Navigators) Who: We prefer people who know we are and are in align with our vision and goals of the organization. Experience with or in Djangonaut Space is preferred but not required. We are hoping to find enthusiastic and empathetic people who take initiative to implement their grand ideas. The admin role is valid for one term. It comes with voting power after 3 months of experience within the community. Please read more about our admin role and what that looks like in the governance doc. The admin role is not necessarily involved in every session but does help make sure they go smoothly. When: Applications close: December 12th Followup Response: December 17th How: We will get in touch with you by December 17th. We might want to schedule a followup call with you to get to you know more. So now about you! Please fill out the form so we get to know about you a bit better and what you'd like to bring to Djangonaut Space.

@semitones @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber pumpkin chat is more of a traditional multi-user chat system in that the room has to be hosted somewhere, which means the machine hosting the room has to be online in order for you to chat. brassica chat is fully p2p and a room is not hosted anywhere. instead, everyone in the room maintains their own copy and users synchronize when they are able to reach each other, kinda like a git repo.

Fail, fail and fail again...

The UK Information Commissioner's Office has issued a weak reprimand to the Post Office for publishing the identities of Horizon’s victims.

The ICO's failure to enforce data protection law adds insult to injury for the victims of this scandal.

:quote_red: "Yen Advantage pricing is for our **Japanese** attendees offering a reduced fee to offset the high exchange rate between the Yen and USD. Please contact us at events@linuxfoundation.org to request the Yen Advantage access code."

Linux Foundation charging different prices based on nationality instead of residency. Sad, very sad... 😕
