Reimagining Democracy
Imagine that all of us—all of society—have landed on some alien planet and need to form a government: clean slate. We do not have any legacy systems from the United States or any other country.

Who's going to EXPLORE DDD next week in Denver? I am! If you are, too, let me know, would love to meet in person. I want to talk all about DDD, event-sourcing, event modeling and storming, etc. Can't wait!
FediForum Has Been Canceled
The FediForum Unconference is facing backlash and speakers pulling out in the face of public bigoted comments.
So what if the novelty of traveling to a new city, was there a place with meeting people who are really adjacent to your professional network ?
For example what if we had a open source and open science conference running concurrently?
I think this already happens in terms of streams within a conference like #pyconau.
I'm just wondering what would happen if you chain adjacent or completely different conferences together?
I mean it could be things people like to do eg. they like to travel.
I think I saw a post on Mastodon that talked about someone enjoying it in the past when they were traveling to different conferences.
That's excitement to meet new people and go to new places I can totally understand.
So how do you create hooks for people to be motivated and to engage before during and after online conferences or events?
I'm really keen on working with others to critically discuss any literature on in-person versus online conferences.
Specifically on the ability to network and build relationships.

Ok, everyone, I'm curious. Those of you who attend academic or corporate conferences, symposiums, or expos that involve international people flying in to attend or present I have to ask:
How many of your attendees and speakers from outside the US...

A French scientist traveling to a Houston conference was denied entry to the US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts.
News like this will destroy the US conference and events industry.

Doing slides for HCII2025. I like it, enjoy thinking it through. I wouldn't want AI to do it for me. That's just me I guess.
