Public Stack Summit

This post was live blogged. Entries are in reverse chronological order.

Katja, Laura, Todd and myself had a lively conversation about what constitutes a public stack and presented it. Core principles: individual ownership/control and convenience. A main challenge is protecting personhood in the digital age. Personhood is a prerequisite to the social contract. Individual sovereignty is a necessary (but not sufficient) prerequisite for a healthy commons.

Other teams raised points including: keeping values at the core of the stack (see Ethical Design Manifesto), ethics in sourcing and manufacture (see Fairphone).

I’m going to take a little break now so I can participate more directly. Will update if and when I have something interesting to share.
