Yeah I saw the Zuckerberg post and had mixed feelings. It's great that he's talking about taking a more active involvement, god knows he has more resources and reach than almost anyone... but like maybe you're alluding to, he's certainly had his share of controversies.
Pretty awesome that they've been able to facilitate 1000 open-source contributions, while still building a reliable, open-source, and free product for so many years
and still able to employ over 100 talented people: https://about.gitlab.com/team/
Very interesting talk
Hi-
I'm a research assistant for the Democracy Defense Fund, working on sourcing startups and nonprofits for small grants. Do any of you know of funding-constrained projects working to push liquid democracy in the US? I think we're stuck with grantmaking to American entities at the moment, but good projects abroad are worth mentioning too.
Thanks

Still a lot more polish work necessary before going for a wide release, but if your interested in trying out this first functional version, I’d love to get it into your hands and hear any suggestions or criticisms that come up for you :smile:

Our focus for this project is on upgrading our public legislatures... in particular the US Congress
But we have a 95% ready to launch version for the City of San Francisco board of supervisors
Easier to form channels, have 1-on-1 conversations, and maybe a little bit better UI?
Well i'll join the slack team tho won't actively participate
