I'd love to form more of a community with other designers, especially those focused on #UX and who share #Libre slash #OpenSource values.

If you do too, respond to this thread and we can see where it goes from there.

(boost appreciated!)

#LibreUX #OpenDesign #FreeSoftware #Design

Anyone know the status of Salesforce working with ICE?

I know there were campaigns targeting them in the past, are those still active?

I'm struggling to find recent info on them. #CloseTheCamps

Here is the technology policy @iwoc adopted. It could be instructive to these conversations happening on how to politicize the tech choices we make.

do people know of good resources that break down the politics around technology and how tech choices can't be seen as simply a means to an end?

Audience would be radicals who still blindly use Google Suite, Facebook, Slack, Salesforce etc because their primary concern is "getting the job done."

These resources should also have an intersectional analysis b/c the tunnel vision free software purism response is a show stopper for me.

Watching Dries Buytaert, founder of #Drupal talk about #JavaScript and the future of Drupal's front-end.

@iona @ntnsndr Not a fork, but rather a distribution ecosystem.

A distribution is Drupal Core plus contributed modules, customizations and themes pre-configured. So when installing you get features out of the box you won't find installing a plain Drupal site.

By ecosystem I mean we are building our first distribution in a way that future, more specific distros could spin off of.

@hinterwaeldler sure thing - Drupal is a content management system, a tool for creating a website. It comes with some functionality out of the box, but oftentimes a site needs to extend it with customizations. Drutopia is a version of Drupal with the most common features for activist groups pre-configured. More info at www.drutopia.org/about
