I got to the event yesterday. It was really rich and rewarding.

If there’s appetite for doing another reading group, I’d really love a chance to dig into “Governable Spaces”.

Started reading this and is certainly has some interesting ideas.

• invitation to design
• tools for conviviality
• lacking of effective voices
• governance designs sensitive to economies of attention
  It would be interesting to explore these in the context of cosocial.ca

Hi all! Glad there is interest in continuing to read together

I wrote out some notes / ideas for how people could take on hosting a future reading group here: (How to) Host a reading group

I am hoping someone takes this on in 2025
