Step into the shoes of both FOSS funders and creators and engage in a dynamic world of fictitious organizations and collectives in a live-action role play (LARP) of… THE FOSS FUNDING PROCESS
Over the span of a captivating and fast-paced hour, participants will, with a touch of space-time manipulation, navigate the intricate landscape of a many-month-long funding process.
Participants playing as FOSS funders will be designing, and carrying out the funding processes for fictitious funding bodies, while those playing as FOSS creators will be applying to them with fictitious projects.
Throughout the experience, participants will:
- Gain empathy and understanding for people’s experiences on both sides of the process
- Discover friction/leverage points in the overall funding system
- Identify and codesign structures, patterns, and approaches to better provide and pursue funding
- Have fun!
