Email Management Strategy

I have 6 email accounts receiving about 3-500 messages per week. This is how I manage (using Gmail):

• I unsubscribe from mail I don't want to receive & customise my email notification settings for all online services (Trello, Facebook, Yammer, Github, etc.)
• Forward all incoming mail from all accounts to one primary account (in Gmail go to Settings -> Forwarding and add a forwarding address)

• On the primary account, I have my 'send mail as' addresses configured so I can appear to be sending mail from any of my addresses, all from within my primary account (Settings -> Accounts -> Send mail as). Note I also have 'reply from the same address to which the message was sent' setting checked.

May 26th 2016, Madrid, Audrey Tang, Baki Youssoufou, Richard Bartlett, Natalia Lombardo, Pablo Soto

The highlight of my recent trip to Europe was this conversation in the photograph above (also captured in this 360° video, and this audio recording).

The people in this photograph are participants from the Tunisian revolution in 2010, the Spanish 15M movement and the New Zealand Occupy movement in 2011, the 2014 Sunflower Movement from Taiwan, and Nuit Debout, the horizontal protest movement currently underway in France.

The recording is 3 hours long, so I've loosely transcribed it and cut it down into a couple of chapters:

Blogging at Enspiral

During the original Catalyst experiment, Gina started Enspiral Tales - a Medium collection for blog stories written by Enspiral people.

Rich followed up with the “Fairy Blog Mother”. This is a bucket of money that anyone in the network can contribute to. Rich arbitrarily hands out money to people for writing, editing and illustrating blog posts.

At 17/06/16, there is $1,075 left in the bucket - contact Rich if you would like some of it!

Ours To Hack and To Own: a Review

Platform cooperativism is the radical idea that the internet would do more good if its major properties were democratically owned and governed.

The second Platform Cooperativism conference is coming up next month in NYC, and to coincide with the event, Trebor Scholz and Nathan Schneider are launching a new collection of essays on the topic, called Ours To Hack and To Own.

I work at Loomio (a kind of platform co-op) and Enspiral (a kind of co-op platform), so Trebor offered me a sneak peek at the book so I could offer my thoughts.

The Anarchist Minister From the Future Who's Redefining Democracy

Audrey Tang, a transgender anarchist hacker with an IQ of 160, left school at 14, started her first Silicon Valley startup when he was 19 - and is now the youngest minister in Taiwan’s history

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – “I am literally from the future.” This is how Audrey Tang began her talk at the Personal Democracy Forum last month in New York. Tang was referring to the fact that he was participating in the conference through a live holographic feed from Taiwan, which is 12 hours ahead of New York, but the joke contained a deeper truth too. Tang, 36, a transgender anarchist hacker with an IQ of 160 (if not higher) who left school at 14, started her first Silicon Valley startup when he was 19 and is now the youngest minister in Taiwan’s history, represents a potential future that the human race might reach (should we be so lucky). Appointed by the Taiwanese government as minister without portfolio for d
