Lindenlea Listserv - 25 Years of Community Connection

​Join us for a fireside chat in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the Lindenlea Listserv, featuring its founder and manager, John Verdon, and RRCRC Civic Innovation Fellow, Max Peacock. This conversation will explore the listserv’s journey not just as a communication tool, but as a case study in the shift from collaborative knowledge commons to the age of algorithmically mediated engagement. We will discuss lessons learned over two decades of listserv stewardship regarding how "practicing community is the practice of democracy," and imagine how we can evolve local digital infrastructure into a 21st-century institution that prioritizes self-governance and public connection over proprietary platforms. Come participate in a vital conversation on reimagining the future of our cities and the digital tools that connect us.
