@witchescauldron @NGIZero @sovtechfund Can we get a link to the people making the agenda, thanks, will try polite conversation #4opens @witchescauldron @NGIZero @sovtechfund For this funding to be a #openweb project, it needs #openprocess which transparency is a core #4opens I don't think either of the current funding projects do this - likely for privacy and security and "safety" issues -this makes them non "native" to the #openweb they are saying they are a part of. A tension we need to talk abut. |
