Community Map
Whenever there are problems, people come together to talk about them - it's here that we can discover common needs and solutions. All those associated with Newspeak House, be they staff, fellows, members or volunteers, commit to seeking out places where people are discussing political technology, and recording them here.
Primarily, this catalogue collects open community channels; i.e. anyone can subscribe, and anyone can publish. If you know any channels that are missing, please add them! If you can't figure out how to do that, email your suggestion to [email protected].
This is a discovery exercise. As community channels are found, they are loosely grouped into "disciplines". So far, they're mostly based around existing institutions, user groups or technical methods, but as we get a better overview of the field a better taxonomy will emerge. Similarly, this page is just an mvp, a text list, but in future we'll have a more sophisticated repository.
NB these channels are not moderated by Newspeak House.
The list at bit.ly/NewspeakHouseList is being updated more reliably than this page.
