Thats cool and yeah were in Europe. Re F2F its personal, local, global - so alone, in community and on the internet. But yes we connect people and best to do so in person where possible. When the makerspace boots up please let us know, I'm also happy to have other OAE people speak up with stories or ping me a request or offer - however people wanna fly.
Re writing/projects on the go, yeah sure, happy to contribute - I enjoyed the list linked above and we were previously talking about using Holodex code etc for some bits. I believe a peer wanted to rejuvenate an old go implementation of liquid sociocracy for the holochain meet in Barcelona which seems to have some touch points... can only see what happens there though and nudge the graph since I don't have the skills to write the code!

@Josh Fairhead
I'd love feedback on the hackalong article
Somewhat random...
I saw a lot of evocative language with anything very concrete buried in links. Might be good to put some concrete examples in the overview. Could probly get some examples from Liminal Village. Could also use some stories from hackalongs: like, what happens? How does it go for participants?
How does a hackalong compare to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference ? And do you know the https://edgeryders.eu/ ?
https://async.hackalong.io/t/abundance-protocol-theos-io/33/6 could be implemented via https://github.com/holo-rea (eventually, when it gets ready) - but do you have any networks that are ready to do it? I'm writing something somewhat related and am looking for groups that want to do something like that.

Cool, feedback appreciated - thanks for taking the time to have a look. I'm interpreting a signal that says "tone it down, get more concrete" - does that sound about right? One tension is that I'm not particularly inclined to restrict the meme space or bias what others might want to do with "hack-along" by stating in concrete terms what it is - still figuring out how to resolve that (my current intent to change most of the statements into 'what its not' so they can be more concrete without being restrictive...). Further thoughts/guidance appreciated, but to avoid hijacking a thread I'd be cool to take the discussion elsewhere - or we can carry on...
Re: comparison to an unconference I'd suggest Hackalongs are along the same lines but just another flavour of such. Edgeryders.eu is an interesting link, thanks - I'll need to dig into it further for comparison though.
Re: HoloREA & Theos. Sure, I've read the valueflo.ws docs and been keeping a watch on REA, looking forward to it. We're kinda going after getting it done in pieces via hackathons/hackalongs so there are varying degrees of commitment. Obviously Roberto as one of the writers there is fairly committed and also a coder, then Thomas also to large degrees (holo advocate) followed by Pavle and a bunch of Ethereum based hackers. So... its flying birds but Roberto/Thomas would be a good first port of call!

Wd be good to say so in that article.

You can send me an email from Loomio by clicking my avatar and then the Contact... button. If you want to continue in another medium. My only existing question on Theos is not about devs but live networks who want to use that protocol in real life.

Ok, I've added a note to integrate that idea once the next iteration starts.

It's more a consideration in case we're off topic... what do you think?

Ok, I misinterpreted your question - relevant though! The answer is yes on various levels but probably not on enough. Were dogfooding our tech on ourselves first and foremost - i.e. so far we've been doing un-opinionated open-space and addressing tensions as they arise with lo-tech solutions; i.e. boards (claims/attestations, offers/requests etc). Outside of that theres a bunch of networks out there that we interact with, some more concrete than others. The local community around Ascoli has plenty of initiatives were engaging with such as supply chain (e.g. the wine makers/food producers) and regeneration (mountain area/forest/local industry). There are also other "hubs" looking to solve inter-hub arrangements so were working with some of those also. We're probably missing millions though, just looking at the Cyclos4 map of users these networks feel incredibly abundant, hence taking note of your list for the sake of mapping as capacity increases!
Are you working with many communities yourself? And any we should take note of? (I'm collecting an associative graph). I've been speaking with Anthony Hodgeson of H3 university who seems to provide a decent framework for multi-stakeholder agreements so I'd quite like to gather a cross section of these people once I've tested and validated it: https://www.h3uni.org/project/facilitate-3h-mapping/

Maybe Sensorica and FairCoop.
(I don't know how that will be formatted. The new Loomio editor is quirky...)
Josh Fairhead Wed 13 Nov 2019 7:38PM
Excellent stuff, I've been meaning to search out the Sensorica NRP soft and more info on the lessons learnt from building it... thanks for closing some loops! Your site is good reading :)

I won't have much time to study that article until Tuesday earliest but will do so then.
If I understand correctly, you are mostly focused on F2F communities and meetups, and you are in Europe. I'm in Wisconsin USA so F2F meetups with me are unlikely. But we do have a makerspace trying to organize itself nearby, so that might be an occasion for some cross-fertilizing if and when it gets going.
And several OAE people in Europe might be up for meetups. If so, we hope they will tell stories here...?
The other ways to collaborate would be writing and software projects. I linked to a bunch of OAE-related software projects upthread, and probly other people know others.
