digi-cnx: network for digital commons

youtube.com/watch?v=HAeC19… @devlewis18 shares a Light Forest, cosmo-local style community-led emergence, where local networks foster healing and emergence to replace failing systems, the seeds for a true climate change response.

Cool to see our event at @4seasDeSoc featured in @VitalikButerin latest blog on emerging future societies. We're seeding a cosmo-local transition in Chiang Mai, more here 👉🏼 digicnx.network/cosmo-local-ch…

(Public Talk) Event ： Achieving Long L: Three Cheers for Cosmic Ecology by @digicnx ⏰ 10 July ｜ 5:00 p.m. @ 4Seas Nimman 💰 100 THB (optional) 🎫 app.sola.day/event/detail/1… Planetary thinking (and ecology at large) relating to questions around Climate Change, species extinction, and other such global challenges, is impossible without the cosmic perspective. How might silicon-based computing move into bio-computing with DNA-based storage🧬 , a radical evolution from our current paradigm.

via @devlewis18 : Recordings from our Digital Humanities 'Un-College' are starting go up on YouTube. * cosmo-local transition with Michel Bauwens: Part 1 “when are we” youtube.com/watch?v=MuNXAV… October 2024 at Chiang Mai University School of Public Policy In session #1 of a 2-part series Michel Bauwens will introduce the concept of macrohistory, the study of history on a large scale, spanning long periods of time, and exploring the insights of historical cycles. We are in a particularly intense period of transition, with multiple historical cycles converging into crisis moments. Understanding both the context of your local culture ("where you are") and the temporality of the current era ("when you are") is crucial. Only by grasping these determinants of time and space can you understand the nature of your freedom of action and become an effective agent of change. Takeaways: Learn to avoid ‘post-seasonal’ behavior: strategies and tactics that worked in a previous cycle but are no longer relevant. Understand ‘seasonal’ behavior: what tactics and strategies are effective in this particular moment. Prepare for the future by cultivating ‘pre-seasonal’ seed forms: building today what the next cycle will need and promote. Questions to Consider: Where am I in time? How does my personal situation and agency fit into the broader temporality of the current moment in world history? What’s my place in it? ( lnkd.in/eY7sSM4b )

digicnx.network/summary-media-… Together we explored the questions: How do we understand the root of our many crises? How can we bring wisdom into our economic and political systems? This is the start of our exploration of a cosmo-local transition

Themes: - Origins and structure of vTaiwan - Policy Impact: Regulating Uber with Digital Deliberation - use of digital tools like Polis and collaborative notes - Lack of Institutionalization & Public Awareness - vTaiwan plans for large scale public conversation for democratic AI

🎥 "vTaiwan: New Experiments in Digital Democracy" 📍@4seasDeSoc We caught up vTaiwan core contributor and legal scholar @tsuijiawei on his January visit to Chiang Mai to learn about vTaiwan and civic tech enabled digital democracy in Taiwan. youtu.be/qkXxcwUkdyw

New event 📆27th Feb 🕦11:30 Taiwan Time Join Nithin Coca, Ai-men of @doublethinklab @patrickpoon @michaelcaster & @tibetaction for: "Countering China's use of digital transnational repression to silence refugees & dissidents globally" rightscon.org/program/

A bunch of us from the community are making the trip from CNX to Taipei for RightsCon 2025, and we’re excited to connect with others working at the intersection of digital rights and technology. Check out the list of events our network is involved with - digicnx.network/digi-cnx-right…

youtube.com/watch?v=ZdXw-D… recording of our first event is now on YT - a masterclass from @adjoro on digital archiving, encryption, and decentralized networks.

In this workshop we learn by doing: how to use decentralised storage networks IPFS/Filecoin to safeguard critical evidence. We will be guided by @Lorilei to get hands on with IPFS (no coding required) and better understand the workings of these networks.

The 2nd event - the hands on workshop - is tomorrow! 📣 decentralised storage in high censorship environments workshop 🗓18 Feb Tuesday ⏱ 10 am - 11:30 am 📍School of Public Policy, CMU thanks to our partners @TechSoup signup: preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webview…

Our IRL spots are already full but we welcome all on Zoom. Sign up 👇🏽

Learn about importance of decentralized web for archiving with @billyb & Cultural Memory Lab fellowship ffdweb.org/blog/preservin… digi-cnx will be supporting a cohort of Chiang Mai archivers to apply via our collaboration with @TechSoup

Potentially one of the most meaningful uses of decentralised tech with roots in the early Web and p2p protocols. Getting this into the hands of the at-risk archivists and writers of stories in this region is the way to go. Join us!

Decentralized Storage for High-Censorship Environments 📅 Wednesday, February 13, 2025 | 🕒 10:00 AM GMT+7 | 📍 Online & In-Person at Alt Chiang Mai events.techsoup.org/e/mv92kq/ Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from experts and connect with civic tech community. Register now!

As part of the collaboration we can also recommend relevant groups to apply for the Cultural Memory Lab Fellowship

Over the course of two workshops we will bring the latest perspectives on how decentralized technologies are used to safeguard critical evidence and protect digital archives from authoritarian suppression.

We are excited to announce a collaboration with @TechSoup to explore how decentralized technologies can be used in the face of authoritarian suppression. digicnx.network/decentralized-…

In Chiang Mai: * discussion 'vTaiwan: new experiments in digital democracy' with Peter Jiawei Cui, digicnx.notion.site/Invite-vTaiwan… The talk will be at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday January 21 at 4seas Nimman. What is vTaiwan? vTaiwan emerged after the Sunflower Movement in 2014 as an initiative from the g0v (gov-zero) community as a decentralized open consultation process that combines online and offline interactions, bringing together Taiwan's citizens and government to deliberate on national issues. What will the discussion cover? - Taiwan’s experience with vTaiwan, drawing on successful case studies and failures - the use of AI for consensus making in large scale online conversations - future of vTaiwan and its use to create a participatory conversation on AI " (via @devlewis18 )
