Tools and stacks - And contra-infrastructure

About time - there's a groundswell of concern with contra-infrastructure(ing) in resistance to the de facto digital coup on the internet and the web. Testing here some drafts around tools and stacks, as concepts to deploy in contra-infrastructuring, in support of activist formations in civil society and in the real economy. 'The commons' is basic. Coops make an appearance too.

Been hatching these since the Open2020 conference! Finally seeing the light of day.

@mike_hales 

These links are good. :D

Have you come across the ResilienceMaps SCIM approach?

Simple Critical Infrastructure Maps aimed at blocking the 6 most common causes of death, apart from old age. :D

http://resiliencemaps.org/

It uses a Similar-But-Different Stack to the "Real Full Stack" in your first link, but also works as one of the maps mentioned in your second link. :D

Yes, it's very specific, but it's a good baseline to work from. :D
