So I confirmed this morning that my Rad Runner bike wheel tubes are sold out even on the Rad website. I guess this weekend I need to get a patch kit and learn how to fix it myself.
Set up my Social Co-op Mastodon account last night. You can find me at @[email protected]. And yeah, I didn’t manage to get boris as a username! I’ll write a full blog post about this.
New to me: /nick lets you change your nickname on a Discord server. They also recently enabled “community” servers. Basically, Discord is used for sort of personal chat home bases, but also increasingly for community. They’ve enabled specific features for these open communities, especially if you have a lot of members. We don’t have enough members at Fission for all of the features, but it was great to be able to have a welcome screen for new users that join, suggesting them to certain channels.
Got an intro to someone who read my Taking equity in startups as a consulting firm post and wanted to see if my thinking had evolved from then. This fits into the Startup Studio model that I’ve thought a lot about.
It just so happens that @allbombs shared a video from the Global Accelerator Network about Enhance Ventures https://www.enhance.online/.
Plus this article which contains a good framework for looking at Startup Studios and how they are financed: Sidecar funds, corporate vehicles, club deals - how do startup studios get financed?
Via @bobsummerwill, Bruce Perens Post Open Source License Early Draft. There’s a video, which is “What Comes After Open Source” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTsc1m78BUk. I need to watch this and take some notes.
