Covenant Community Townhall #5
Welcome to the fifth gathering of the Covenant Community ✨
We're a community of humanistic-tech proliferators — builders, artists, and thinkers growing the field of human-aligned technology.
We're currently seeking early partners to contribute to The Covenant of Humanistic Technologies by helping draft the principles that guide human-aligned technology and contribute essays, technical work, illustrations, artistic interpretations, and applications of human.tech.
Agenda:
Our fifth Covenant Townhall is set for Thursday, June 5. We're going to host one speaker and one demo presentation.
— Speaker:
Joining us is Ben West, co-founder of Elephant Room and longtime advocate for climate solutions, open tools, and human-centered systems change.
From organizing The Great Climate Race to advising global advocacy campaigns, Ben brings a grounded, humorous, and strategic perspective on how communities coordinate for real-world impact. His work directly touches on Covenant principles around privacy, open information, and stewardship of Earth’s resources.
Expect an open conversation about organizing at scale, keeping systems human, and moving with care.
— Demo:
During our last Townhall, Shady proposed the creation of a Shadow Covenant — a living fork of the current principles. We’re now setting it in motion using Coordinape. Short demo during the session!
To join the Townhall, please read the Covenant, fill out the contributor form, and join the discussion on Signal.
