We had an an exciting talk with Tibet Sprague about the Collaborative Technology Alliance (CTA).
CTA exists to facilitate collaboration, coordination, and community among platform designers, developers, and stewards who are committed to building social technology that benefits both people and planet. It is a decentralized alliance that works on the principles of wellbeing, co-creation, agency, justice, openness and emergence.
In this conversation Tibet discussed:
​the origins and development of the CTA
experiments in community governance and participatory budgeting
projects that have come out of CTA collaborations
his other main project Hylo: the Prosocial Coordination Platform for a Thriving Planet
​Tibet shared specific project examples including a dynamic, interoperable ecosystem mapping tool, Federated Authentication Network, a research tool for prosocial org entity structures, and more. For his own main project, connecting Hylo to an interoperable ecosystem of values aligned platforms and tools was one of the main reasons he helped jumpstart the CTA.
