That would be really nice. We ran UnTechCon and there was ambition but never budget to do an IRL one. https://gfsc.studio/project/untechcon/ BOARC were keen to have us: https://www.bidstonobservatory.org/ On Wed, 20 Nov 2024 at 13:06, Autonomic Co-operative <helo@autonomic.zone> wrote:
Thought we could have a thread for idea generating/co-operative dreaming. Maybe don't critique other's ideas here but just let them sit for a while, to be picked up if others like them.
My first idea I didn't get into our meeting was: Festival of left tech
IRL/online hybrid event hosted at SPACE4 in London. Invite everyone working in this field e.g. CoTech, cool orgs, redecentralise etc etc
Networking and Lightning talks etc. Fun, weird and social. Influenced by Chaos Congress, EMF etc but tiny.
Make it explicitly left.
Use it to build energy and enthusiasm in this bubble which kinda fizzled out due to the pandemic and accompanying wildness.
