Scaling Community Decision-making

3:45-4:55pm
Hussian Room 125

Any libre software, volunteer, or even startup project will have elements of do-ocracy (rule of those who do the work) but not all decisions should devolve to implementors. Rather, a basic principle is that decisions should be made by the people who are most affected.

  • Learn why meritocracy ("rule of those with merit") is a completely bogus and harmful concept.
  • Gain a passing familiarity with various ways decisions are or have been made in Drupal.
  • Add sociocracy and sortition to your vocabulary and understand how these esoteric concepts can help our community scale.
  • See how Visions Unite is putting more democratic decision-making approaches into practice.
