Blog by Sumana Harihareswara, Changeset founder
Community Of Practice
Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2011 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
I have found Danny O'Brien's new blog: the Noisebridge mailing list. noisebridge-discuss entrances me because it's techno-anarchism in action, a lot like the Wikimedia movement, except it's way smaller, a higher proportion of the members are my friends, and it's comfortably distant so I can watch and eat popcorn. Example!

Oh, Liz beat me to it! Yeah, that one's great.
BTW, Sumana (or anyone else reading this), are you already aware of Frunch? Nina Paley's been promoting a lunchtime (at a vegetarian restaurant) meeting of people into free culture. I haven't gone (just heard about it a couple days ago, and didn't feel like going out in the rain today), but it sounds right up your alley.

Indeed it was that very post (the one about kicking the monk out) that got me started on reading faaaaar too much of noisebridge-discuss.
Avram: I went to Frunch several times, including when I worked for QuestionCopyright.org, and it turns out it's not really my bag, but it does sound like it would be, doesn't it?
Don't miss the one about the Rinpoche and his shrine and Thomas Jefferson.
