@mayfirst had the foresight to discuss the post election landscape*now* to meet the moment more prepared.

Here are the notes that came out of the question,

"What are the general messages and general approaches technologists should take post-election to support movements seeking better digital security?"

I worked with NOVA Web Coop to launch a new site for Uber, Lyft and other independent drivers unionizing in Colorado.

We used #LibreOrganize , a #FreeSoftware web platform built for unions.

For anyone going to DrupalCon next week, I'm co-organizing the Nonprofit Summit and I think it's going to be real informative. We're also setting up a directory people can opt into for networking and organizing.

Check it out!

Does anyone have insight into #Jitsi governance? I couldn't find anything documented.

Also, what is the deal with 8x8 the company that fully funds Jitsi?

It's nice that the project is open-source but the funding source and who it is actually accountable to is really important to get answers on if we're recommending it as a #MovementTech tool.

#LibreOrganize is a #FreeSoftware website and member portal for unions and other movement groups.

I tried installing it locally and it only took me a couple of minutes to get up and running. Really impressed with this project so far.

Here's a video I made showing the install process.

#FightFor15 fast food workers are on strike, but sharing their stories online instead of gathering in public.

I see this as an important shift in terrain that us movement techies should adjust to.

how do we show up for this moment?
