Do You Want To Explore Joining An Open Social Incubator To Serve This Movement?

Please Join Steven Morris and Clare Attwell for a campfire style conversation on this topic. Here is what Steven shared in the Telegram group as a provocation:
“Although this could fit under “Web3…” I want this to get to as many people as possible. Would anyone like to join me in the CU Boulder’s Media Design Lab Open Social Network Incubator? I’m considering applying and the application invites applicants to bring along someone else from their on-line community. Participants receive a substantial stipend after completion. I’m actually not sure which community I will represent. I have multiple options to pick from.

The Media Economies Design Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder is launching a 5-month process of mentorship and peer-to-peer learning, empowering veteran community builders to adopt emerging open social networks.

We’ll help participants better understand the opportunities and challenges unique to these new kinds of networks. Together, we will strive to create a space where community builders can deepen their technical knowledge and better understand how to utilize technologies that align with their values.

Participants will meet as a full group monthly and receive ongoing, 1:1 project-specific technical support as they seed and grow new communities using open social media tools of their choosing. Participation is fully remote and all sessions will be conducted in English. All participants should commit to making strides toward community-building in open social media by the end of the program. Completion of the full program, from November 2024 to April 2025, will be compensated with a stipend of $3,500 USD.

Deadline to apply October 4”
