Hi, I'm Boris Mann!
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.
Affiliations
Working half time for Ink & Switch as COO. The lab now has organizations in the US, Canada, and the UK. I've worked on people operations, HR, finance, and a little bit of events / community.
Other half of my time is building the ATProtocol community & ecosystem. I have a contract with Bluesky to be the conference producer for ATmosphereConf in Vancouver, Canada.
In Canada I am a member of the CoSocial Community Co-op. In Vancouver, I'm one of the organizers of DWebYVR and am a director of the Z-Space non-profit society and coworking space.
I'm an advisor to a number of organizations & projects, including:
Meeting
I'm happy to meet in person in Vancouver or do an intro video call. I'm working out of Z-Space most days.
