The Open Media Network (#OMN) is a collective that builds and hosts standards-based political/social software. We work toward the manifestation of a #KISS and #4opens grassroots web of trust. Keeping it human scale, we outline a human-understandable workflow used to then develop apps for real world use. We are agnostic with regard to the underlying technology and programming, as long as it is #4opens based.

From the perspective of a radical, grassroots, social technologist this is distilled into a codebase, as a “permissionless” roll-out of frameworks for social groups to form, govern and bare witness to themselves.

The #OGB is not a traditional top down fight for power like the #mainstreaming agenda. Rather, it is a bottom-up grassroots fight for /sharing/ power, like many of the 20th century social movements that created the best of the current mainstream. As a socal codeing project the #OGB is not a traditional top down fight for power like the #mainstreaming agenda. Rather, it is a bottom-up grassroots fight for sharing power, as found in many of the 20th century social movements that acturly created the best of the current mainstream.
The #OGB is a seed. "There is such a thing as society" - we need to build our tools for this anti-"common sense" statement. To facilitate the forming, communication and decision-making of communities, at all scales.

The #OGB is a seed, "There is such a thing as society" - we need to build our tools for this anti-"commonsense" statement.
We propose to facilitate the forming, communication and decision-making of communities, at all scales.
Our systems do not impose a singular agenda, but rather provide tools by which to organise.
Governance must be open and visible to those affected; as such the discussion, decisions and actions of OGB communities shall be published publicly.
Life and society are chaotic. We build tools that seek to harness rather than fight the chaos. Life and society are chaotic. We build tools that seek to harness rather than fight the chaos.

The major advantage of "governance" within the fediverse, is that there is none. This is a good thing. The major advantage of "governance" within the fediverse, is that there is none. This is a good thing.
Yet the fediverse is in need of "governance" if it is to become part of our #openweb based society - we simply need to redefine what it is to govern and be governed.

The Fediverse comes from the "cats" of libertarianism and to a lesser extent anarchism without the (O). The Fediverse comes from the "cats" of libertarianism and to a lesser extent anarchism without the (O). In this, we mustn't think how to fit into current working practices and current economics. Those who _push_ "common sense" solutions to problems of "governance" within the fediverse are in fact a part of the problem, rather than a solution that has a chance of succeeding.

To be "native" to the fediverse we need to use code to build "society". Organizing for SocialHub Community Empowerment has to be anti-“common sense” in the same way that the fediverse itself is.

Remember the project comes from the life time lived expirence of actavist culture, we are codeing a very importent/hideing part of our socierty.I have been at the hart of organising these events for generations, back to my granparents. Social change groups have worked in this way to challenge and change power structures on the ground. Some examples of Social change groups: from squats, protest camps, climate camps; to indymedia, Reclaim the Streets; to XR and even Occupy.

Rainbow Gatherings are a working example of this grassroots governance. They have been going on for 50 years and the core is still based on the founding traditions which came from the Vietnam War - not the hippy dippy origins that people talk about.
