About Boris Mann

Hi, I'm Boris Mann!

I'm interested in Open Source, community, and co-operative models.

In Canada I help run the CoSocial Community Co-op. In Vancouver, I'm one of the organizers of DWebYVR and help run the Z-Space non-profit society.

I've been exploring Cohousing. I like to cook & eat and have a FoodWiki.

Some things I've been thinking about recently:

I have a Now page.

There's a Colophon that covers how the website itself is built. BMC is a bit of a todo around website things.

Meeting

I'm happy to meet in person in Vancouver or do an intro video call.1 I'm working out of Z-Space most days.

Bio
