--- permalink: /about/ aliases: - About title: About Boris Mann --- Hi, I'm Boris Mann! I'm interested in [[Open Source]], community, and [[co-op|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](https://cal.commonscomputer.com/boris/vancouver) or do an [intro video call](https://cal.commonscomputer.com/boris/30min).[^caldotcom] I'm working out of [[Z-Space]] most days. [^caldotcom]: [[Commons Computer]] self-hosted [[Cal.com]] instance. ## Bio An ever growing list of [[Bio]] notes of various lengths. ## QR Code ![](/assets/2024/bmann_vcard_qrcode.png) A QR code that encodes my info in a vCard, created using [[Go QR]].
