I haven't used this platform for anything meaningful for a long time. It was captured by dynamics so unpleasant that it made me stop microblogging. Lately, though, I'm building back the habit of keeping notes in public. And happily using mastodon to do so: social.coop/@efeefe

Last month I had a
public conversation with Ed King (University of Bristol) at the Knowle
West Media Centre. It was part of an event titled “What if...? Seeds of
tomorrow growing today”. (photo by Ibi Feher)
The session was streamed live. More:

It's been over a year since I defended my thesis, or as it's called there, had my 'viva voce'. Some months later I would submit a final version, with great improvements suggested by the examiners. And on May 1st this year, I received by email confirmation of the PhD degree.

I posted something then, but was still waiting for the thesis to be published by Northumbria University before I shared the PDF. Now it's out anyway. Here's the link:

Curiously, it was only a couple of weeks ago that I printed a hard copy of the thesis. It's interesting to flip through it outside a screen. For those not willing to read hundreds of pages, there's also the summary of the thesis again:

There will be two inspiring talks (available online too):
6.45pm-7.15pm 🤖 Berlin-based Brazilian activist / researcher @efeefe and professor Edward King (researcher at @BristolUni) will chat about tech repair, digital rights activism, games to explore misinformation and more...

After my Viva Voce, the examination board required me to apply modifications to my thesis as a condition to awarding the doctoral degree. I agreed with all the recommendations, as they would make the thesis more robust and clear.

Subsequently, I was left with the summary without knowing exactly what to do with it. It is too long to be submitted as a typical conference paper, and arguably too broad to be a book chapter. I ended up editing it a bit further, and finally decided to post it openly in my blog.

My trip to New York City in early July was truly inspiring. Since then, I tried a few times to write a short post about it. I failed on the "short" part. There is simply so much to say about open source and society that I wrote a longer text: buff.ly/4bX5DqM

I'm in Campinas this week for #ESOCITE, a conference on STS in Latin America. Yesterday I presented the reuse.city co-design lab, part of my PhD research. It's gratifying to be back at UNICAMP, where I got my Master's Degree ten years ago.

And always good to reconnect with people who were important in my career.

This week I received my hard copy of the book Driving Design Volume 2, edited by the @distributeddesign platform. I'm honoured to have a version of my text about the semente toolkit, “Seeds of Digital Reforestation”, included as a chapter.

I recommend the book for the other chapters as well, but my text can also be found on my website: buff.ly/3WnSt1o

My thesis will eventually be posted online. Honestly, though, I'm still making my peace with it and not rushing to have more people reading that long text that took cost me so much to research and write.

But I'm obviously willing to send the text to those truly interested in reading and giving honest feedback. Text me here or wherever you can find me on the Internet, and I'll send a PDF of the current version.
