#TIl about the #PublicSpaces Incubator, which ...

"... brings together ABC (Australia), ARD (Germany), CBC/Radio-Canada (Canada), RTBF (Belgium), SRG SSR (Switzerland), ZDF (Germany), and New_ Public (United States) to re-conceptualize how to use PSM [Public Service Media] platforms for public connection and conversation."

Lake Oswego Corp., owned by wealthy homeowners with properties adjacent to Lake Oswego, recently lost a years-long lawsuit over restricting public access. On the 4th of July, these entitled rich people believe they can deny public access to swimmers and boaters. However, Portland has a different idea and is planning to crash the party. Instead of having a small exclusive event, their actions will create a massive spectacle. Bring fireworks, booze, marijuana and other party favors and your favorite floating device it’s going to be lit.

Interested in the Downtown Master Plan? Come attend the next Council meeting Tuesday, 6/24 at 6 pm!

The meeting will feature a video tour of a 3D model, with sections on public spaces; a proposed hotel; mixed-use buildings; renovation/building of City Hall; a public market and adaptive reuse of office space; and park areas.

As always, I encourage public comment at the meeting, especially on this project. I’ll also include links in comments to flyover videos.

Good morning Fedi friends!

I'm currently packing my suitcase - destination: Amsterdam! Tomorrow I have the great honor of speaking on a panel at @publicspaces about the Fediverse: conference.publicspaces.net/en

And right after, in the same room, there will be this superb panel: "No Musk, Zuckerberg or Trump can shut us down" feat. @bjoernsta and @andypiper (just reading the title makes me erupt in applause).

Wishing everyone a great day! 🌞

@BjornW thanks, yes I am interested in all opportunities to contribute to discussions/sessions where the topic ‘how to deal with recent ATproto developments‘ is relevant.

In Vienna, a group is forming that wants to focus on translation and bridging, and whenever appropriate: convergence.

We are searching for collaborators within other communities that care about this.

I’m looking forward to meet you again at #publicspaces in a few days :)
