Brad Hutcheson
Brad Hutcheson has spent 25 years developing distributed systems and trying to understand their implications. He's the founder of Kunuleco, an open-source protocol that lets any group build a space that belongs to them. It enables community that is not on a central platform and not determined by an algorithm. Your identity is portable and trust works like it does in real life: people vouch for people. He lives in Northern Colorado and is unreasonably optimistic about the future of community-owned infrastructure.
Session
When communities move off centralized platforms, they suddenly become responsible for decisions those platforms were making for them: membership and identity, moderation, and governance. You'll work in small groups, helping each other identify the assumptions you're already making about your communities. By the end, you'll have a written charter and map for your community and we'll harvest patterns from the group and compile a collective e-zine.
