Let’s try one in another language. The Weekend seems to be a bandname, and ours are usually empty and we have only a local food supplier and then the solitary confinement of the room. Urge Overkill appears. The community backens up the development. Rehab is over and we need new tasks. Most of the TV is just bullshit, yes we followed the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Nevertheless we have memories. As grassroots movement we have a gazillion issues we have to take care of. AuthN, authZ, the login, the UI/UX, storage, linking, terms, ontologies, the workgroups, appdev and so on. Most of the work happens in the public. We have meetings everyone is invited to. Contributions of code are mostly more than welcome. We are organized in a community group that is on the edge of being transformed into an official W3C working group. Our captain has a hands-on mentality. When visiting Amsterdam in the late eighties, we even dreamt in english. Most of the time we feel familiar with thinking in the number one tech language of the landscape. Abbrevations and buzzwords are sometimes not helpful. But we get used to them.
“Dead Moon – Over the Edge” is lurking under the bed. Dedicated our life and work to Solid and positivity we try to get along not harming anyone. Heretics is a well-known concept and we always (as long as we can think) have to cope with the monster of negativity. Satellites, brothers, sisters, mood coordination, loneliness, isolation, the system we try to change, revolutionary ideas, code, human features and the survival of our species and the planet, considerations of pain management are accompanying us for years. We never even thought a single second of giving up. The nodes of our brains and consciousness are loosely coupled with each other and with a life that’s worth it. None of it was in vain. Dreams, for sure. The books and films, the experiences and processes we went through made us who we are. Will we succeed ? Let’s give the damned life inside job a shot. Otherwise we will never know what would have happened, how we can improve, who is a friend, live and work an autonomous life. Their job is to make themselves obsolete.
The eyes of the world they are watching out. Remember Steve Biko.
