I wrote some thoughts about margins, potentially moving back to Italy, living on the edge(s), togetherness + a few other delirious epiphanies after spending one week with a group of wonderfully insane and astoundingly bright humans in the middle of the Appennine Mountains.

Here is to Dwelling in the Margins

Tommi’s mind

Intro to collective mapping by walking around Loro Piceno and editing OpenStreetMap with @streetcomplete and @CoMaps ❤️🌻

Then lunch all together in the (newly mapped) Caffetteria Da Renata 😋

The small hole in the middle was used to put things inside

We are soundbathing in an old neviera, a huge container that up to the 1800s was filled with snow and ice and then sealed to preserve food (and corpses too, since the building next to it was a hospital).

Outside photos in the next post.

What people are doing here is immensely inspirational for me.

Endless admiration for the vision and the commitment of these networked collectives.

@ceci you would absolutely love it, I miss you here!

Of course the morning started with me forgetting the keys inside the place where we are staying, so we got locked out and I had to get in from a window 🫠

Edit: ironically, the keys hanging from my belt are the keys of my Rotterdam home, totally useless in this situation.

XYZ Loro Piceno

A thread from Sapere, Fare, Diventare in Loro Piceno (Marche, Italy) by La Scuola Open Source 🏴‍☠️🔥

Kicking things offff! Of course I am sitting next to @faber ❤️‍🔥

EDIT: I wrote a blog post about all this.

Just got on Regionale 3019 up to Milano Rogoredo, where I will hopefully catch the connection with Regionale 2549 to Bologna Centrale.

Then sharing a car trip from Bologna to Loro Piceno for La Scuola Open Source’s XYZ until Saturday 🌻

Of course zero trains showing up in #Träwelling because #Trenitalia is an open data mess.
