Cyberpony Express Workshop Recordings Are Posted!

Workshop 1 was an in-person meet and greet where we' discussed the goals of the project in broad strokes and gave people free nodes to take home. I think we were all surprised by how many people came, and how excited people were. I wish we had recorded it!

This led to the first build lists:

We compiled a list of organizations we’d like to work with, and asked everyone to reach out to one near them!

We are taking a few weeks off from doing Cyberpony Express workshops and then the plan is to do them all again.

Each of these workshops touches on an aspect of the larger ongoing project, so doing them repeatedly makes sense in the context of where the project is at. We’ve raised plenty of money to buy a lot more of these and get them set up, including IIAB nodes which we haven’t actually deployed yet, and of course the BBS/MUDs/Librarian.

Hopefully by that point, we will also have a lot more hands-on work for people to do as aspects of the project are moving further along.

I am working on a new set of workshops about different types of land trusts. What are they, how do they work, what are the lessons and examples, etc.

Stay tuned!
