        "text": "March 2021 is the second March in a row where so many of us are still in countries & cities doing our best to avoid getting sick (or worse), slow the spread, and otherwise living very different lives than we did in the before times. Every day here forward will be an anniversary of sorts for an unprecedented event, experience, change, or loss. Or the last time we did something. Rather than ignore them, it\u2019s worth remembering what we had, what we used to do, both appreciating what we have lost (allowing ourselves to mourn), and considering potential upsides of adaptations we have made.\n\n\nA year ago yesterday (2020-03-04) we hosted the last \nin-person Homebrew Website Club meetups \nin \nNottingham \n(by Jamie Tanna in a caf\u00e9)\nand \nSan Francisco \n(by me at Mozilla).\n\n\nNormally I go into the office on Wednesdays but I had worked from home that morning. I took the bus (#5736) inbound to work in the afternoon, the last time I rode a bus.  I setup a laptop on the podium in the main community room to show demos on the displays as usual.\n\n\nAround 17:34 we kicked off our local Homebrew Website Club meetup with four of us which grew to seven before we took a photo. As usual we took turns \ntaking notes in IRC during the meetup as participants demonstrated their websites, something new they had gotten working, ideas being developed, or inspiring independent websites they\u2019d found. \n\nCan you see the joy (maybe with a little goofiness, a little seriousness) in our faces?\n\n\n\nWe wrapped up the meeting, and as usual a few (or in this case two) of us decided to grab a bite and keep chatting. I did not even consider the possibility that it would be the last time I would see my office for over a year (still haven\u2019t been back), and left my desk upstairs in whatever condition it happened to be. I remember thinking I\u2019d likely be back in a couple days.\n\n\nWe walked a few blocks to Super Duper Burgers on Mission near Spear. That would be the last time I went to that Super Duper Burgers. Glad I decided to indulge in a chocolate milkshake.\n\n\n\nAfterwards Katherine and I went to the Embarcadero MUNI station and took the outbound MUNI N-Judah light rail. I distinctly remember noticing people were quieter than usual on the train. There was a palpable sense of increased anxiety.\n\n\n\nInstinctually I felt compelled to put on my mask, despite only two cases of Covid having been reported in San Francisco (of course now we know that it was already spreading, especially by the asymptomatic, undetected in the community). Later that night the \ntotal reported would be 6.\n\n\nYes I was carrying a mask in March of 2020. Since the previous 2+ years of seasonal fires and subsequent unpredictable days of unbreathable smoke in the Bay Area, I\u2019ve traveled with a compact N-95 respirator in my backpack.\n\n\nSide note: the CDC had yet to recommend that people wear masks. However I had been reading and watching enough global media to know that the accepted practice and recommendation in the East was quite different. It seemed people in Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong were already regularly wearing masks (including N95 respirators) in close public quarters such as transit. Since \nSARS had hit those regions much harder \nthan the U.S. I figured they had learned from the experience and thus it made sense to follow their lead, not the CDC (which was already under pressure from a criminally incompetent neglectful administration to not scare people). Turned out my instinct (and analysis and conclusions based on watching & reading global behaviors) was more correct than the U.S. CDC at the time (they eventually got there).\n\n\nShortly after the train doors closed I donned my mask and checked the seals. The other useful advantage of a properly fitted N95 is that it won\u2019t (shouldn\u2019t) let in any funky public transit smells (perfume, patchouli, or worse), like none of it. No one blinked at seeing someone put on a mask.\n\n\nWe reached our disembarkation stop and stepped off. I put my mask away. We hugged and said our goodbyes. Didn\u2019t think it would be the last time I\u2019d ride MUNI light rail. Or hug a friend without a second thought.\n\n\nAlso posted on IndieNews.",

Life Happens: Towards Community Support For Prioritizing Life Events And Mutual Care, Starting With The #IndieWeb

    "content": {
        "text": "Foreword\n\nA couple of weeks ago I noticed one of our newer IndieWeb community participants found an example on the IndieWeb wiki that no longer worked, and it was from someone who hasn\u2019t been around for a while.\n\nI knew that person had various things come up in their personal life, thus left without warning, and was unable to maintain their site (with said example) as well. This wasn\u2019t the first time this has happened. I noted in our community chat that there were community care, repair, and supportiveness issues worth discussing, summarized with: \ntl;dr: life happens, and expressed a goal:\n\n\nI\u2019d like to figure out how we as a community can 1) provide support to folks who have \u201clife happens\u201d events and not feel \u201cguilty\u201d about being absent or abruptly having to stop participating, and 2) do \u201crepair\u201d on our pages in a kind and respectful way that doesn't exacerbate their guilt/shame, and ideally makes it clear they are welcome back any time\n\n\nWhat followed was my stream of consciousness and braindump on the subject matter, which after seeing it resonated with and being encouraged by several members of the community, I collected into an IndieWeb wiki page:\nlife happens. I\u2019m blogging most of what I wrote there because I think it\u2019s worth its own post and wanted to capture my thoughts & feelings on this matters while I remember the context.\n\n\n\u201cLife Happens\u201d is an acknowledgement that there are numerous things that people experience in their actual physical lives that suddenly take higher priority than nearly anything else (like participation in volunteer-based communities), and those communities (like the IndieWeb) should acknowledge, accept, and be supportive of community members experiencing such events.\n\nWhat Happens\n\nWhat kind of events? Off the top of my head I came up with several that I\u2019ve witnessed community members (including a few myself) experience, like:\n\n\ngetting married \u2014 not having experienced this myself, I can only imagine that for some folks it causes a priorities reset\n\n\nhaving a child \u2014 from what I've seen this pretty much causes nearly everything else that isn\u2019t essential to get dropped, acknowledging that there are many family shapes, without judgment of any\n\n\ngoing through a bad breakup or divorce \u2014 the trauma, depression etc. experienced can make you want to not show up for anything, sometimes not even get out of bed\n\n\nstarting a new job \u2014 that takes up all your time, and/or polices what you can say online, or where you may participate\n\n\nbecoming an essential caregiver \u2014 caring for an aging, sick, or critically ill parent, family member, or other person\n\n\nbuying a house \u2014 often associated with a shift in focus of personal project time \n(hat tip: Marty McGuire)\n\n\nhome repairs or renovations \u2014 similar to \u201cnew house\u201d project time, or urgent repairs.  This is one that I\u2019ve been personally both \u201cdealing with\u201d and somewhat embracing since December 2019 (with maybe a few weeks off at times), due to an infrastructure failure the previous month, which turned into an inspired series of renovations\n\n\ndeath of a family member, friend, pet\n\n\u2026 more examples of \n how life happens on the wiki\n\nValues, People, and Making It Explicit\n\nWhen these things happen, as a community, I feel we should respond with kindness, support, and understanding when someone steps back from community participation or projects. We should not shame or guilt them in any way, and ideally act in such a way that welcomes their return whenever they are able to do so.\n\n\nMany projects (especially open source software) often talk about their \n\u201cbus factor\u201d (or more positively worded \u201clottery factor\u201d). However that framing focuses on the robustness of the project (or company) rather than those contributing to it. Right there in IndieWeb\u2019s motto is an encouragement to reframe: be a \u201cpeople-focused alternative to the corporate [\u2026]\u201d.\n\n\nThe point of \u201clife happens\u201d is to decenter the corporation or project when it comes to such matters, and instead focus on the good of the people in the community. Resiliency of humanity over resiliency of any particular project or organization.\n\n\nAdopting such values and practices explicitly is more robust than depending on accidental good faith or informal cultural support. Such emotional care should be the clearly written default, rather than something everyone has to notice and figure out on their own. I want to encourage more mutual care-taking as a form of community-based resiliency, and make it less work for folks experiencing \u201clife happens\u201d moments. Through such care, I believe you get actually sustainable community resiliency, without having to sacrifice or burn people out.\n\nAcknowledging Life Happens And You Should Take Care\n\nIt\u2019s important to communicate to community members, and especially new community members that a community believes in mutual care-taking. That yes, if and when \u201clife happens\u201d to you that:\n\nwe want you to take care of what you need to take care of\n\nyou are encouraged to prioritize those things most important to you, and that the community will not judge or shame you in any way\n\nyou should not feel guilty about being absent, or abruptly having to stop participating\n\nit is ok to ask for help in the community with any of your community projects or areas of participation, no matter what size or importance\n\nthe community will be here for you when you\u2019re able to and want to return\n\n\nIt\u2019s an incomplete & imperfect list, yet hopefully captures the values and general feeling of support. More suggestions welcome.\n\nHow to Help\n\nSimilarly, if you notice someone active in the community is missing, if you feel you know them well enough, you\u2019re encouraged to reach out and unobtrusively check on them, and ask (within your capacity) if there\u2019s anything you can do to help out with any community projects or areas of participation.\n\n\nThanks to \nChris Aldrich \nfor expanding upon \nHow to help and encouraging folks to Keep in mind that on top of these life changes and stresses, the need to make changes to social activities (like decreasing or ceasing participation in the IndieWeb community) can be an added additional compounding stress on top of the others. Our goal should be to mitigate this additional stress as much as possible.\n\nHow to Repair\n\nAbsence(s) from the community can result in shared resources or projects falling behind or breaking. It\u2019s important to provide guidance to the community with how to help repair such things, especially in a caring way without any shame or guilt. Speaking to a second person voice:\n\n\nYou might notice that one or more projects, wiki pages, or sections appear to be abandoned or in disrepair. This could be for any number of reasons, so it\u2019s best to ask about it in a \ndiscussion \nchannel to see if anyone knows what\u2019s going on. If it appears someone is missing (for any reason), you may do kind and respectful repairs on related pages \n(wikifying), \nin a manner that attempts to minimize or avoid any guilt or shame, and ideally makes it clear they are welcome back any time.\n\n\nIf you come across an \nIndieWeb Examples section on a page where the links either don\u2019t work (404, broken in some other way, or support appears to have been dropped), move that specific IndieWeb Example to a \u201cPast Examples\u201d section, and fix the links with Internet Archive versions, perhaps at a point in time of when the links were published (e.g. permalinks with dates in their paths), or by viewing history on the wiki page and determining when the broken links were added.\n\nEncouraging More Communities To Be Supportive When Life Happens\n\nWhen I shared these thoughts with the IndieWeb chat and wiki a couple of weeks ago, no one knew of any other open (source, standards, etc.) communities that had such an explicit \u201cLife Happens\u201d statement or otherwise explicitly captured such a sentiment.\n\n\nMy hope is that the IndieWeb community can set a good example here for making a community more humane and caring (rather than the \u201cjust work harder\u201d capitalist default, or quiet unemotional detached neglect of an abandoned GitHub repo).\n\n\nThat being said, we\u2019re definitely interested in knowing about other intentional creative communities with any similar explicit sentiments or statements of community care, especially those that acknowledge that members of a community may experience things which are more important to them than their participation in that community, and being supportive of that.\n\n\nThis blog post is a snapshot in time and my own expression, most of which is shared freely on the IndieWeb wiki.\n\n\nIf this kind of statement resonates with you and your communities, you\u2019re encouraged to write one of your own, borrowing freely from the latest (and CC0 licensed) version on the wiki: life happens.

        "html": "<p>A week that felt almost as normal as before All This. Even though it is a new normal, not a return (and being aware that we\u2019re heading into the fall with rising numbers of cases again).</p>\n<p>This week I</p>\n<ul><li>Compared the vision document for upgrading the national geo-information infrastructure with the emerging EU legal framework and Green Deal to see where they align or not</li>\n<li>Presented to the geo information policy team at the Ministry for the Interior</li>\n<li>Did the monthly invoicing</li>\n<li>Had the weekly client meetings, this time in person, and spending half of my time at client offices</li>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2021/10/19532/\">Finished</a> the first full iteration of a public client wiki. It contains information on the upcoming EU legal framework for digitisation and data. It is created directly from mark down notes in my personal collection, pushing them to a repository on Github, that using Respec gets turned into a website on github.io. That works really well.</li>\n<li>Spent an afternoon in the cinema, to <a href=\"https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2021/10/19512/\">see Dune</a>. Now rereading the novel itself.</li>\n<li>Did a first detailed check of which elements in the EU framework on digitisation and data need to be incorporated or translated into the national reference architecture for (public sector) digital twins.</li>\n<li>Had a half day session with the reference architecture team to discuss that</li>\n<li>Drove Y to Haarlem for a sleep over with her nieces.</li>\n<li>Went out for (Thai food) dinner with E, and had a few beers together sitting at the bar of the oldest pub in town Onder de Linden (continuously since 1755 in a <a href=\"https://rijksmonumenten.nl/monument/7796/mandaatshuisje-thans-cafe-onder-de-linden/amersfoort/\">1530 building</a>). It\u2019s the pub where E set her prize winning story about Amersfoort she wrote last year, but never visited before. It was very nice to just hang out with the two of us.</li>\n<li>On the way into town for dinner and beers, my bicycle broke down (so we walked back home and took public transport). Saturday morning was spent to select and buy a replacement bike. I thought to buy a second hand one, but ended up with a affordabel new one, which I will pick up Tuesday.

        "text": "A week that felt almost as normal as before All This. Even though it is a new normal, not a return (and being aware that we\u2019re heading into the fall with rising numbers of cases again).\nThis week I\nCompared the vision document for upgrading the national geo-information infrastructure with the emerging EU legal framework and Green Deal to see where they align or not\nPresented to the geo information policy team at the Ministry for the Interior\nDid the monthly invoicing\nHad the weekly client meetings, this time in person, and spending half of my time at client offices\nFinished the first full iteration of a public client wiki. It contains information on the upcoming EU legal framework for digitisation and data. It is created directly from mark down notes in my personal collection, pushing them to a repository on Github, that using Respec gets turned into a website on github.io. That works really well.\nSpent an afternoon in the cinema, to see Dune. Now rereading the novel itself.\nDid a first detailed check of which elements in the EU framework on digitisation and data need to be incorporated or translated into the national reference architecture for (public sector) digital twins.\nHad a half day session with the reference architecture team to discuss that\nDrove Y to Haarlem for a sleep over with her nieces.\nWent out for (Thai food) dinner with E, and had a few beers together sitting at the bar of the oldest pub in town Onder de Linden (continuously since 1755 in a 1530 building). It\u2019s the pub where E set her prize winning story about Amersfoort she wrote last year, but never visited before. It was very nice to just hang out with the two of us.\nOn the way into town for dinner and beers, my bicycle broke down (so we walked back home and took public transport). Saturday morning was spent to select and buy a replacement bike. I thought to buy a second hand one, but ended up with a affordabel new one, which I will pick up Tuesday. I think this is the first new bike I bought in my life.
