We can appreciate 3 interpretations of
1) democratisation of access to tech
2) democratic governance of tech
3) e-democracy and civic tech

at the @fkinstituteFree Knowledge Institute we take the position of 2) - the democratic governance over shared resources, which involve technology, but first and foremost are about commoning: people sharing responsibility, knowledge and productive work, over a shared resource system.

@WtebbensWouter Tebbens ⁂ @fkinstituteFree Knowledge Institute the answer isn't just having the right idea, though. That has been clear for at least a few years (thanks in large part to your efforts, which are deeply appreciated!) I see so many people who get it and are ready to build (or already building) what you call for but very little higher-order support—training, consultation, incubation, etc. Whose resources will help make the space for these ideas to go from experiments to sustainable initiatives? We can't just bootstrap it.
