Let's zoom in on a particular area of the commons: the #FreeSoftware movement and their #FOSS deliverables, where a strong #WorkingInPublic credo dominates. The noble focus is on offering open technologies, software and systems. But in their quest to uphold #SoftwareFreedom the overlooked aspect is #sustainability. The ability to not only sustain oneself, but also by extension the creative #commons one is part of. The commons is an entirely chaotic grassroots environment with very specific social dynamics that are not properly accounted for. Instead top-down "herding of cats" governance models that work in regular business environments, are attempted. These may work, but only in small organizational settings, and NOT at scale where they break down.

FOSS in this definition is NOT commons-based. For that we need #ChaordicCommons where FOSS is the deliverable and #SOSS initiatives the engines of delivery, #FSDL (Free software development lifecycle) supply chains.

I've been a long-time advocate for #HumaneTechnology. Social coding commons adds something to that to become "humane and harmonious technology". Humane by default. #Humanity is an intrinsic value of the movement. And harmonious by #SocialCoding. Coding is social, and first of all deals with people coordinating to find solutions that align with and satisfy stakeholder needs. Coding happens somewhere in the process, an impl detail.

A core principle of Social experience design is Sustainability, which is holistic in nature via the (adapted) Circles of Sustainability model. https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#circles-of-sustainability

With this in place a #SX software solution will cycle through its Free software development lifecycle i.e. #FSDL, which drives a tailored development based on needs and lifecycle phase. https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#free-software-development-lifecycle

Together this completely avoids a pure technology-driven development, ensuring Needs-driven development, and a natural NIMBY of inhumane technology and practices.

#HumaneTech community posted a more elaborate infocard on the need for #FOSS projects to 🪙 pay more attention to their #FSDL in ways that'll easily get their #ROI in terms of 💎 #commons value.

Just spending a little extra #FSDL time 🪙🪙 investment may often yield a great Return on Involvement. In other words they are no-brainers, really low-hanging fruits in common terminology.

#SX #Socialcoding @sustainability

@steltenpower yes! That is a really nice direction indeed.

We have some forum threads thinking in similar themes of radical new #UX patterns and #Semmy social knowledge fabrics.

You are most welcome to introduce your ideas on our forum, or discuss them in our #matrix channels.

#Ideation is an important part of the #FSDL the Fediverse solution delivery lifecycle (or Free software development lifecycle, depending on #SX perspective)

Many #FOSS projects may benefit paying more 👁️ attention here.

@coderefinery 💯

Totally. I started #SocialCoding movement at https://coding.social and https://discuss.coding.social

Coding is social and if working on social networking solutions "social coders social code the social code" 😅

Exploring some fascinating subjects, like Social experience design #SX, Sustainable open social software / systems / services #SOSS, Free software development lifecycle #FSDL and hedonic peer production (a method that the movement 'self-services' i.e. dogfoods, among others.
