We walk among you 👀🪿 Thanks Raft Foundation raft.foundation- we appreciate your work & your values & principles

Values
The waters are rising, and we must rise to
meet them.
A raft is about survival and adventure, collaboration and flow. Amidst today's torrent of crises, it's easy to feel helpless. But we believe that if we work together, we can stay afloat, and even shape our collective destiny.
We are guided by our founding principles:
* Resilience: 'we will endure together and emerge stronger'
* Autonomy: 'each by our own choice'
* Fullness: 'toward dreams of abundance'
* Transparency: 'with nothing to hide'
(Regarding transparency: internal transparency is essential; complete public transparency is powerful, and thus should be handled with care.)

Secondary principles
As Raft and its community grow, these principles will evolve. The below are the beginnings of an extended organizational philosophy, subject to continuous, collectively-driven iteration:

* Joy, rest, and rigorous care

* Tech is a tool, our data is ours

* Sovereignty and respect

* Only by invitation, and in good

relationship

* Interoperable technologies,

intersectional lives

* Life-giving, not rent-seeking

* Growth by proliferation, not scale

* Transparency in service of

accountability

* Privacy in service of safety
* Iteration in service of revolution
* Autonomy in service of collaboration
* Beyond governments, beyond borders
* From theory to action
* People over profits, planet above all
* A diversity of tactics and approaches
* We can shape the future, but only together
* 'We' not 'they' - there are no Others
* "The only lasting truth is Change"
Clarifying notes:
- Tech is a tool, our data is ours: We understand that "open source" is no panace, and is in fact the bedrock of post-dotcom technocapitalism. We are thus quite interested in experiments and more radical licenses. Fundamentally, however, we take a practical approach to technology, prioritizing usability/accessibility, then data sovereignty, then business/ownership/stewardship/governance structure, then protocols and interoperability, then licensing and self-hostability.
- Beyond governments, beyond borders: while we do not completely swear off (local, state, federal, international) government funding (e.g., NSF) or collaboration (e.g., human services departments), we only engage in projects that center governments when we believe we can deeply, fundamentally change them (e.g., to make them meaningfully more democratic).
Our thinking on tr
oving and we
raft.foundation
welcome further d. W

Very cool build by @jimray.locket.computer that works with @youandme.at and hardware! “A Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH sandwiched between a PiSugar 3 (for power) annd a Waveshare 2.13" e-ink display.”

A Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH sandwiched between a PiSugar 3 (for power) annd a Waveshare 2.13" e-ink display. I love e-ink displays and I'm
always looking for something to do with them and this felt like a fun use.
I tried to build a minimum viable PDS in a weekend but realized I was going to spend as much time debugging as I would building so | just used Hailey's excllenct cocoon instead. It's basically perfect and runs like a champ even given the hardware constraints of a computer you can wear like a necklace.

We have two #AtmosphereConf stickers. One for the conference with Vancouver and 2026, and a Goodstuff one with goose blue that we can hand out all year. Fun fact: the Community Fund doesn’t have a dedicated logo or brand. Remixing geese is where we’re at for now.

A stack of black and blue stickers with white text on a white and pink patterned surface. The text reads "ATMOSPHERE CONF VANCOUVER 2026." The stickers are partially overlapping and appear to be new. The background surface has a repeating pattern of red text that says Jukebox
