    1. The stack behind contemporary technological systems goes well beyond the multi-layered “technical stack” of data modelling, hardware, servers and networks, as described by Benjamin Bratton in 2015. The full stack reaches much further into capital, labour and nature, and demands an enormous amount of each.
    1. I am going to use 2 packages and each has its own approach.Using viper → here we use viper to read from configuration file config.yml and also from environment variables.Using godotenv and os package from GO together → here we use godotenv to read from .env file and os to read from environment variables.** I prefer the first approach of using viper, since it is more professional way of handling configuration files and environment variables together than having 2 separate packages for either of the tasks as in the 2nd approach.

    1. Zum anderen habe es auch Sozialisationsunterschiede zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschen gegeben. Was der Hochschulforscher dazu sagt, hört sich genau wie die oft wiederholten Begründungen an, warum es zu wenig Frauen in Aufsichtsräten gibt: Viele ostdeutsche Wissenschaftler seien nicht durchsetzungsfähig genug, nicht laut genug, machten nicht genug auf sich aufmerksam, griffen nicht beherzt genug nach der Macht.

    1. In my gaze it felt that despite the almost omnipresent governmental presence, human networks took a measure of their importance and along the course of confinement we saw the buildup of the lines of many solidarity networks, not only because we benevolently provided necessary goods for each-other, but also because we shared opinions, information, and a lot of imaginations along the modalities of our existing independent infrastructures, trusting each other, across borders.

    1. Für das Ethisch-Moralische in der ästhetischen Kommunikation sind dann Identität, Herkunft, Authentizität zuständig. Diese Instanzen lassen die schlichten Formen und konventionellen Erzählweisen vergessen. Es entsteht eine Mischung aus Sozialfolkore, Aufstieg-durch-Bildung-Porno und identitätspolitischem Kitsch.
    2. Die Gegenwartsliteratur, herausgefordert durch „das Politische und Ethische“, reagiere bisweilen etwas biedermeierlich. Inhaltliche, geschichtsmoralisch codierte Bedeutsamkeit (Stasi, Nationalsozialismus) und identitätspolitische Positionierung (Minderheit, Diskriminierung) verunmöglichten den kritischen Blick für die Form
    1. Dann ist es allgemeingültig: Sofware, die irgendwann nur noch aus Ausnahmen und Sonderfällen besteht, mit heisse Nadel gestrickte Netzwerke - soll ja schnell gehen - EMail-Verteiler, bei denen keiner mehr durchblickt, ein Wirrwarr an Domains etc.

    1. stakeholders, including customers, beneficiaries, users, owners, and relevant third parties

      These are all just 'people'. The relevant third party is always the 'public'.

    2. establishing stakeholders’ success criteria and concerns, and defining actual or anticipated customer needs and required functionality, early in the development cycle, and revising them as new information is gained and lessons are learned;

      'stakeholder' and 'customer' terminology implies an economic model, which is not further explained.

    1. Creating a community network ontology is therefore about much more than just knowledge representation. It also requires us to think about how this conceptual knowledge model affects real-world knowledge creation and application processes, in our case concerning participatory community network mapping. Its participatory nature means that we need to think hard about how to explicitly involve the community in the construction, evolution, and use of the ontology.
    2. When opening up the definition of community in terms of community networks, with their broader, overlapping contexts, what is that mutual benefit? Of course, the communities making up the network focus on their own purposes, interests, and needs first. Still, through their intersecting socio-technical contexts, those purposes, interests, and needs partially connect the communities. This means that larger, overarching, common good constructs may become focal points of interest around which inter-communal joint purposes, interests, and needs can emerge, be more explicitly defined, linked more closely, and strengthened.
    3. Still, what does it mean to become such a federation? What does it mean to connect communities into federated networks that can achieve impact on wicked problems? Graham sees the distributed governance structures and processes of community networks as scaling fractally, society being a fractal composite of communities. Communities, in his view, are complex adaptive systems, adjusting situational individual responses to emergent experiences, such that the system stays in balance with the context that defines it.
