-              the next era of community computing
 
-it's not just woe and misery forever. in the middle of my dispair, i found
-something really remarkable. neon lights, and shared drinks, dancing, food,
-surprise, cleverness, and love. in the middle of my pain, i found something
-worth fighting for.
-
-i don't know what comes after free software.
-but i think i can see it's skeleton.
 
-a huge, powerful creature is growing - and free software is just one of its
-many organs.
-
-a creature of caring, and community. of playfulness, and kindness, and sharing.
-mutual aid, and respect. of building for one another. a creature that values
-teaching, spirit, and morality. a creature that builds community-scale
-alternatives to big, heavy, complicated, world-burning modern machinery.
-
-a creature that values life, fun, humanity, and togetherness in a world
-that constantly tries to de-value those things.
-
-a creature resilient to corporate takeover - because it represents everything
-human about computing.
-
-computing at human scale. permanently. re-orienting everything. forever.

-                permacomputing?
-
-this is just a hunch, but -
-i suspect the next era of community computing may be called "permacomputing"
-
-where free software attempts to ammend the existing system,
-permacomputing builds a new one
-
-where free software is pro-license,
-permacomputing is pro-human
-
-free software is absolute,
-permacomputing is flexible
+i don't know what comes next, but i'm seeing hopeful energy.
 
-free software is conversion,
-permacomputing is acceptance
+my eyes are on permacomputing[2], a new movement that's
+still being defined.
 
-free software is a camp,
-permacomputing is a commune
+my hope is that it values simplicity, morality, and community
+and not technicality, licenses, and purism.
 
 
-please, if you have the energy, start a local computing group.
-one centered around playful hacking, kindness, and acceptance.
-see what happens.
 
-you might find that it makes life feel just a little less hollow.
-
-people will surprise you.

 this is my love letter to all of the people and projects
-that i believe embody the permacomputing spirit.
+that have inspired my ideology over the years.
 
 here you are.
