Excited for this workshop tomorrow at @CIM@bonfire.cim.warwick.ac.uk
If you or anyone you know is in the area, whether in the University of Warwick's orbit or not, please come along to co-design the #OpenScienceNetwork, #Bonfire, and our #codesign method itself.
Originally published on Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy blog, this article by @s0hw@hci.social and @andresmh@hci.social reflects on a semester of collaboration with Bonfire. Together, we explored how Governance Cards could help communities describe how they organise and govern their shared spaces.
Community rules will ship alongside federated groups in the upcoming Bonfire release 🎉

We’re delighted to share that our talk: “Sovereignty Is More Than a Server: Public Digital Commons with Bonfire” has been accepted for the Open Source Conference Luxembourg 🎉 !
We’re looking forward to discussing why digital sovereignty requires more than self-hosting and how public digital commons and projects like Bonfire Networks can help build more open, democratic, and resilient digital ecosystems.
If you’re attending, we’d love to meet you, exchange ideas, and learn about what you’re working on.<span class="invisible"> #digitalsovereignty #commons #bonfire
Shared infrastructure is how the #Fediverse can grow without recreating enshittified platform silos.
We’re excited to share that Bonfire is working with Mastodon on two critical areas of Fediverse infrastructure: remote media storage and automated content detection.
Built around open Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) specifications, this work will help platforms connect to shared services instead of each having to build and operate the same capabilities alone.
Our aim is to make these capabilities open, interoperable, and available for any federated server to adopt.
A big thank you to @Mastodon@mastodon.social team for involving us in this work. We’re looking forward to building together and sharing what we learn along the way.

We’re gathering around a fire 🔥
Around the Bonfire is our new newsletter: a digest of releases, community stories, collaborations, and everything else taking shape around Bonfire.
We’ll send it when there’s a new release, but never more than once a month. You can unsubscribe whenever you like.
The first edition is coming soon. Join us:
A federated social network for individuals and communities to design, operate and control their own digital lives.bonfirenetworks.org
In solidarity with #AutisticiInventati.
Please join us in signing the open letter and send it to your representatives: inventati.org/campaign/open_...
A/I's mission has always been clear, and for more than twenty years it has inspired generations of hackers and activists in Italy and around the world: "Socializzare saperi senza fondare poteri." Sharing knowledge without establishing power.
That is what the US is attacking, and that is what is at stake today.
The premise of these sanctions, that whoever provides communications infrastructure answers for whatever anyone does with it, would criminalise and shut down most Big Tech platforms tomorrow if applied equally.
Instead it is aimed at grassroots services who refuse to surveil their users.
We condemn these sanctions, and we stand firmly with solidarity tech like A/I. Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism.
Autistici/Inventati provides internet support to activists and collectives coming from the world of grassroot and social movementswww.inventati.org
Bonfire 1.0.7 is out 🔥
It includes a new default UI, reworked discussions, faster and more flexible feeds, better mobile navigation, and fixes across federation, accessibility, publishing and admin tools.
We’re also sharing our bikemap for what’s next: public federated groups, better notifications and easier-to-find settings.
Want to help shape federated groups? We’re currently looking for pilot communities, get in touch!
