"Welcome #socialcoder. Ahead of you lies an adventure. To explore with others innovative new ways to collaborate and create value together. We focus on the delivery of Sustainable open social systems—elevating #FOSS projects to become #Sustainable #opensocial systems, i.e. #SOSS initiatives—that provide a means for people to earn a living in #freesoftware development and in the areas where they are most passionate. This introduction provides an overview of our #movement."

Being "commons based" means being able to sustain responsible, healthy evolution and natural growth.

I posted on this notion of #SOSS before, with a meme attached..

There's nothing wrong with #FOSS, but it only provides part of the solution as long as the #Sustainability angle is not given due attention to.

Esp. with disruptive inhumanely introduced #AI #LLM technologies, new major threats to the #FreeSoftware community are surfacing, and giving attention to this subject matter is more important than ever.

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.

👁️ #SX focus shift..

Attn: This is now an 🫂 outreach channel of Social coding commons, under custodianship and tender care of humane tech community gardeners.

Specifically this a 🪵 #dreamlog..

My personal account has moved (temporarily) to @humanetech in a custodianship (janitoring) 🎩

With my support by @nlnet ending, how I continue to foster and nourish my work, depends on 🌱 sustenance I manage to find, as I am out of money totally.

Such is #FOSS life, hence focusing on #SOSS now, really :)

@andrewnez

I can read this in 2 ways. One I agree with, and the other I'm putting to the challenge.

Under Mindfulness core principle of Social experience design there exists no "winning", only Progress matters. Although #SX only considers #FOSS as the software, an SX artifact. Software doesn't win either, it fulfills needs (or it should).

Other interpretation, that FOSS projects cannot be self-sustainable in most cases. Well, here #SOSS comes around. Coding is social.

The (emergent) strategy of the #FOSS movement as a whole is "Make FOSS, change the world". And it worked. 9 trillion of value to the corporate business world and big tech. You can do a lot with that money, and indeed change the world.

Harvard study: Open source has an economic value of 8.8 trillion dollars

Open source software is worth trillions to the economy. However, researchers warn that companies contribute too little to the development of open source tools.

I would like to propose SOSS: Sponsored Open Source Software.

If your company uses OSS, you sponsor the project $100/year.

Not per seat, or per team, just $100/year, all in.

- 30 developers using Ghostty? $100
- 300,000 engineers using tmux? $100, total

You audit the OSS you use (OSS tools for this would quickly emerge, $100, thank you). You set up a bunch of annual $100 sponsorships. Everyone wins.

This guarantees the longevity of that tiny piece of code propping up your bank.
