Murmurations protocol

OS Oli SB Public Seen by 225

Given it's unlikely we will ever all (want to) collaborate on the same 'platform' it seems essential to develop an open protocol to share information about and between all the various projects and organisations that are working to build the commons.

Murmurations is an initial attempt to create such a protocol...

Did you add an RSS feed in your json profile?

Yes. Here's the profile: http://mikorizal.org/murmurations_node.json

And the feed: https://write.as/economic-networks/feed/

I just needed to update the feeds :) now I see your "Separating the good from the bad and the ugly…" post Title in the list at https://murmurations.network/feeds/ but there isn't any 'body' copy ... not quite sure why that is...

That might be the software I am using. I'll ask if they have any ideas. But thanks for doing the update, looks like we are now murmuring...

Cross posting here, from Hylo:

I made a start at a G Sheet - mapping out some of the fields various Networks collect for their Members - building on the work A. Keala Young and Ollie Bream McIntosh and others started in the G doc, and the great work from Weaver. The idea is to list out which fields (and ideally the type of field) each Network currently collects, in order to find the common fields we might use to build an interoperable 'Person schema', on the Murmurations Protocol - If anyone wants to add more data for other networks please feel free ;) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W3wXW4_GPlYamilWVSaP1yhfipqN7eVJ00saPnau5vI/edit#gid=0

There is already a very core set of fields emerging, but it's also interesting to see the variation in similar fields i.e. the amount of different variations of the "name" field. This highlights the minutiae we are going to have to tackle to make our collective flock dance...

hi @Oli SB , what will be the next step?

I tried to match skills and intents of about 20 participants in past - didn't work. Everyone was waiting for others to start doing something.

My experience of building teams tells me that without external force / resources / funding of a capable (collective) subject the chances are very slim.

What are your expectations? Where are we at, towards what goal, with the efforts of what team, supported by what resources?

... the project template is made for you a few months ago:

http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/w/page/141178212/Murmurations

But it seems inactive. Is it because the project is inactive or it has no long term memory, or the memory is realised somewhere else?

I would agree with that! We have a small team working on Murmurations, as volunteers...

You can find us on Telegram mostly... via the link on this page:

What are your expectations?

I don't have any expectations here specifically, the above was just by way of a short update.

We are getting very close to launching v1 of the protocol - and when we have I will send another update :)

The goal is huge - The ultimate aim of Murmurations is to accelerate the global transition to the regenerative economy.

I recently added some basic definitions as the start of our Wiki / Documentation which I hope will help people wrap their heads around what we are doing and how: https://github.com/MurmurationsNetwork/MurmurationsProtocol/wiki

More news as things develop...
