Communicate with governments with matrix (AMA about ZaPuK)
Matrix als Kommunikations-Backbone für die Verwaltung "??!!"
A Reality Check Between Ambition, Architecture, and Everyday Practice
When a citizen wants to communicate with public authorities, the well-established classics are still available: fax, telephone, and email — supplemented by a growing number of inboxes, portals, and specialized messaging systems.
Clarity is not exactly their defining feature.
In Germany, FITKO, Saxony-Anhalt and Hamburg are attempting to bring some structure into this historically grown communication landscape through the ZaPuK project.
The goal: fewer isolated solutions, more structure, more interoperability.
(The fax is surprisingly persistent.)
In this session, we take a sober, technical look at the following questions:
* What can Matrix realistically deliver as a *general-purpose communication fabric* for public administration?
* Where does the protocol fit well from an architectural perspective?
* Where does it become interesting?
* And where does theory collide with federal realities, domain-specific processes, and operational models?
We discuss the current state of projects, discussions, and recommendations followed by an honest reality check.
No marketing. No promises of salvation. But plenty of room for critical questions.

Astrology is usually associated with horoscopes, prediction, or belief systems. In this self-organised session, we’ll test a different idea: using astrology as a symbolic language to reflect on daily routines, decision-making, and energy management — without fate, mysticism, or “the stars made me do it”. The session is interactive and experimental. We’ll look at how astrological concepts can function similarly to tools people already use: retrospectives, calendars, personality models, ...

Jujutsu (jj) is a new version control system that uses Git as its backend. Since trying it last year, it has completely replaced Git for me. It manages to be less complex than Git, while giving you more control. I think you'll like it too! Lately, when people ask me complex Git questions, my answer is often: "First, install jj…" And that's only half a joke. :P --- A few things I like about Jujutsu: There's no index, but instead you get a subcommand for splitting changes. Commits have stable ...

How can we work together to improve political decision-making processes in the long term? What do you want from democracy? Motivation: While our democracy can be shaped by the people as they wish on paper, the population seems to be largely dissatisfied with political actions: - The handling of many crises appears to be inadequate - Urgent problems seem to be postponed - Democratic participation seems tedious and ineffective Dissatisfaction mixed with these perceptions can lead to the loss of ...
