the-better-future.offprint.appIdeas on a Financially Sustainable Atproto | Alex | OffprintExplore a new funding model for Atproto that moves beyond grants and VC. Discover how StratosFund enables sustainable, community-driven open-source development.

We need good funding models for #atproto things: 1) to create opportunities for all the people who would love to make a living by working on something meaningful, *and also* 2) so we can all benefit together from each other's skills, ideas and energy. the-better-future.offprint.app/a/3mkommpvxr...

For my first blog post, I've written some thoughts on open-source, StratosFund, and financial sustainability paths for Atproto. I hope it gets some interesting conversations started. #offprint https://the-better-future.offprint.app/a/3mkommpvxr523-a-better-open-source-future

This is a session I might propose for Minnebar, a tech unconference here in MN. The deadline is tonight at midnight, sorry I'm so last minute. If anyone has feedback, especially about whether I should or shouldn't associate my App Wizard with Atproto Mpls, please let me know. #atmosphere #atproto 1/

(Oh, by the way, when I say "whether I should or shouldn't associate my App Wizard with Atproto Mpls", I mean, I'm wondering if I should make it clearer that the App Wizard is my personal project and does not represent Atproto Mpls, which I'm not in charge of, I'm just trying to get it started.)

Come see a demo of the App Wizard — an open source tool that helps anyone scaffold a personal app on the AT Protocol (yes, the one behind Bluesky). Bring a laptop to build alongside us, or just a notebook to sketch ideas. 4/

The App Wizard is one of many tools being built in the Atmosphere, a community of likeminded beings building the open social web on atproto. We are Atproto Minneapolis. Join us. (Oh, the ring? That part was just a metaphor.) 5/

Title: We need volunteers to help throw a ring into a volcano 2/

The Dark Lords of Tech are nearing completion of their mission: to seize all of the world's wealth and power. Their plan's one flaw: it depends on controlling all of our data. We're looking for a group of builders, designers, dreamers, hobbits and elves to forge the tools of our liberation. 3/

I changed my handle via settings before the conf & it broke my atmosphereconf.org about me page, so I undid it. I want to be clear I'm not affiliated with the hacker mag (big fan tho), or Atari(?). But if I change it, what else breaks? What about ppl who move to their own domains, do they vanish?

“The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently,” David Graeber I've loved this quote since I first read it, but today I'm really feeling that second part, we *could just as easily make it differently* #atmosphereconf
