<div dir="ltr"><div style>Allow me to introduce a proposal on how to organize horizontal organizations, based on my experiences at PP-CAT and other movements. I call it <a href="http://thinkship.cc/en/introduction-to-liquid-organizations/">liquid organizations</a> (its working name was Lýd).</div>
<div><br></div><div style>Check the <a href="http://thinkship.cc/en/introduction-to-liquid-organizations/">introduction</a> at my blog and the analysis/blueprints at <a href="http://lyd.dario.im/">http://lyd.dario.im/</a>. I attach them compressed (they are Markdown files) for RMS' (or anyone else) use. If your prefer another format, just ask me.</div>
<div><br></div>tl;dr: Liqorgs are horizontal organizations without fixed hierarchy, based on trust through voluntary and (at-any-moment) revocable delegation and organized in workgroups or organic groups originated from shared traits (city, region, country, language, etc). They have some basic guiding principles to allow maximum participation and grasp all our collective intelligence in a lock-free way.<div>
<br></div><div style>It is an open project (available in <a href="https://github.com/imdario/lyd">github</a> for you to fork and modify) and criticism is totally welcome. I want you to speak your mind and to share this idea with your parties. The more, the merrier. I trust swarm intelligence after brewing this in my head during two years. I know you are going to do something awesome.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Also, I want to create an international project to develop a participatory system based on these principles. Brave pirates are required for this quest! Contact me in private if you want to participate.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Actually, I created Lýd to help and to build a better tooling for our parties, with a long term objetive to spread it among other organizations. This means spreading our core values.</div>
<div style>
<br></div><div style>After reading this, thanks, you probably are asking yourself: how does it fit with Swarmwise? First, I admire Falkvinge's work (it helped me too). And second, I see this as Swarmwise's complement.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>With this you can go "on a mission from God" (from Swarmwise's chapter six) backed with your mates' trust. You can consider it as a way to visualize how your organization works, auditable and transparent.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>As I say in the analysis:</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
<b>Bonus track: does Lýd compete with Swarmwise?</b><br><br>No, it doesn’t! They are complementary although they focus on different aspects. Lýd is more an “operating system” for internal communication and decision making. Swarmwise deals with social dynamics. I totally recommend to read Swarmwise to learn more about it.</blockquote>
<div><br></div><div style>Well, enough talking :) Just say I will take into account your feedback and I'll be happy to discuss about this. Thanks for your time.</div><div><br></div><div style>Salut i rom!</div><div><br>
</div><div style>PS: I hope this is going to help to overcome the "bitter dynamics". I was inspired by Tom Behets with his "Promote what you love, instead of bashing what you hate!" (<a href="http://imgur.com/xFEVjTi">here</a>).</div>
