July Digital Permaculture Gathering/Potluck!

COULD THE INTERNET BE COHERENT WITH PERMACULTURE? This is the question we will be exploring this month with our visiting guest speaker. In this era of information, humans are increasingly dependent on digital systems; whether to keep track of complex data streams to increase resilience in our landscapes or to meet and maintain contact with our networks and communities – in any case, the internet has become a leverage point for shifting culture. How can permaculture design connect with our socio-digital patterns, and what does mission-aligned internet tooling look like from the perspectives of earth care, people care, and fair share? 🌱💙🌏 Our guest speaker noms (they/them) is Tangata Tiriti Pākeha (naturalized Aotearoa settler who upholds indigenous self-determination), community builder, product manager, and advocate for prosociality. They run a community group who meet monthly to explore appropriate digital tools for their nested locale and are founding projects such as a community-owned data farm running off recycled eWaste and pop-up digital hygiene support sessions. They are currently supporting the event team running DWeb Camp and contribute to Socialroots.io, a cooperative building tooling for network coordination. They are visiting the Bay Area for two months and we are excited to learn with them. 🌟🐝🕸 WHAT TO BRING: yourself, your friends, your skills/talents to share or grow and if you can, potluck items to share!
