Episode notes

The intention is to create a communitarian and collective approach with an open source and mutual attitude, leading to a process of decentralisation. The focus is on pushing power out from the centre, creating multiple centres and constantly decreasing their density, rather than eliminating centralisation or hierarchies.

Our guest in this Q+A session on self-organizing governance is Richard D. Bartlett. This session was originally live-streamed on December 4th 2020.

Richard is a co-founder of a digital tool called Loomio, and of a decentralized consulting company The Hum. He is also the Director at the Enspiral Foundation, a collective of people working on meaningful projects around the world.

As an open source enthusiast, he writes about how we work together at any scale, from our relationships to organizations to social change. He is a contributing author of the book Better Work Together, and he is writing his first book called Patterns for Decentralized Organizing.
