Prav - Democratically Backed Messaging

Approved

Session Description

We might be sold on freedom respecting software, and privacy-oriented services, but how does one organise a project to ensure not just a Free and Open source software, but also one that is not a Benevolent Dictatorship for Life (BDFL).

By cooperating and incorporating as such, what is gained, and how does a democratic machinery allow us to influence a project's health?

Key Takeaways

Project Structures and Leadership
Incorporation and organising for Free Software
A teensy bit of history on the origin of the modern stock market
A generous amount of background on Prav
Maybe a compelling argument to switch to XMPP
