About Boris Mann
Hi, I'm Boris Mann!
I'm interested in Open Source, community, and co-operative models.
In Canada I help run the CoSocial Community Co-op. In Vancouver, I'm one of the organizers of DWebYVR and help run the Z-Space non-profit society.
I've been exploring Cohousing. I like to cook & eat and have a FoodWiki.
Some things I've been thinking about recently:
- pooling capital and collaboration
- Open source is no longer a radical act
- self-hosting is selfish
- Three Definitions of Open Source
I have a Now page.
There's a Colophon that covers how the website itself is built. BMC is a bit of a todo around website things.
Meeting
I'm happy to meet in person in Vancouver or do an intro video call.1 I'm working out of Z-Space most days.
