🇪🇺 #GitHub is calling for a new #EU #techfund (€350M) to support #critical #opensource #softwaremaintenance, highlighting its economic importance and the need for #sustainablefunding.
😏 While acknowledging the need for #publicfunding, there is concern about big #techcompanies offloading their #responsibilities and the potential for the fund to become a subsidy for them.

I'm pleased to be offering a new course at #BCIT on Developing Sustainable Funding Pathways for Creative Entrepreneurs this Fall: https://www.bcit.ca/courses/developing-sustainable-funding-pathways-for-creative-entrepreneurs-bcst-1393/
We explore the changing shape of media & #entrepreneurship, including traditional & emerging solutions to building #SustainableFunding pathways around your endeavours. The approach is project based with the goal of helping participants design a sustainable funding pathway & timeline to work towards on a project that they are passionate about.
☁️ ENTRE NEBLINA Y ABISMO: EL VIAJE CELESTIAL ENTRE LA PAZ Y EL ALTO ☁️
Al ascender de La Paz hacia El Alto, a 4.150 msnm, la ciudad se cubre de un manto de neblina que envuelve todo en un misterio blanco.
Sin embargo, al descender, el espectáculo cambia: la neblina se disipa, revelando la profundidad majestuosa de La Paz, extendiéndose como un cráter urbano.
Un fenómeno atmosférico inigualable que sólo puede experimentarse entre estas dos ciudades hermanas del altiplano boliviano.

Thanks to @anna I was also reminded of the annual @conservancy conservancy fundraising drive.
If you love @outreachy and @reproducible_builds please donate if you can.
Especially if you benefit from the #debian ecosystem. Both projects do a huge amount of work every year for @debian .
The 2024 Software Freedom Conservancy match fundraiser launches today with an historic $204,887 match total! That means for every dollar you donate before January 15th 2025, our generous individual matchers will donate the same, making your donation go twice as far until we reach our goal! SFC prides itself on being funded by individuals like you, who believe that software freedom is a right for everyone.
"How do you think #IndigenousKnowledge and practices can contribute to creating more sustainable #DigitalTechnologies that respect and protect our environment?" ~ #Indigenomics at #IndigenomicsNow
A poignant question from #Indigenomics in response to Amanda Bernard of Shawish Market's #IndigenomicsNow talk on #DecolonizingCommerce for Indigenous Art, "In what ways do you feel decolonizing the digital space can contribute to #EconomicEmpowerment and #CulturalPreservation for #Indigenous communities?"
#SustainableFunding #SustainableGrowth #IndigenousKnowledge #IndigenousWisdom
Great question from Indigenomics Now, as Eli Enns delivers his Keynote Address, "In what way do you think #IndigenousKnowledge and modern #technology could create a more abundant and #SustainableFuture for all?"
Your thoughts?

Closed a chapter today.
It had its ups & its downs, but I am glad I did my #MasterOfEdTech. It allowed me to set myself new challenges, prioritize goals with #StoryToGo (including building our own #lms explore #SustainableFunding Pathways, speak on new topics internationally, explore how to shape #disability within my #storytelling & how we can be more #accessible in our storytelling, & dream up new ways of merging stories & education with technology (from #podcasting to #XR).
#HappyDays! Last of the marks for my Master of Educational Technology from UBC is finally official.
Just did the cha cha around the house with Linus the Golden Retriever & Ella the Tortie Terror in tow! A little excited as they took a few weeks to process the final grade on my last directed studies course.
I now have my MET with a focus in #ImmersiveStorytelling, #SustainableFunding, #OpenEducation & #Accessibility.
I am pleased to share that with the start to the New Year, comes both an end & a beginning, an end to my Master of Educational Technology & a beginning (& continuation) to the research, experiments & production that MET started in #ExtendedReality (& in #SustainableFunding Solutions for Creatives & Educators).
Below is a bit of a roadmap to where I am headed in terms of #XR (https://storytogo.ca/2024/01/conceptualising-an-extended-reality-open-education-guide/
I share thanks with those who helped guide & support me on this journey.
