Hi. I’m putting together some possible topics, and possible guests for future Decentered Media meet-ups. If you have any suggestions and ideas, please do message me, and we can chat.
If you use Discord I’ve set up a channel for us: https://discord.gg/DssBKhmt
The Decentered Media online meetups will take place each Wednesday from 6.30pm. The theme will alternate between process-focussed discussions, such as governance issues, support for volunteers, and compliance, and topic-focussed discussions, such as social integration, free expression, ethical forms of community media. With permission from all participants, we’ll share an edited recording of the discussion.
