Project Biome is undergoing a branding refresh to integrate 'radical hospitality' as the culture crystallizes around community needs. Currently in listening tour phase with early adopter organizations (mentioned at 20:24). This initiative supports the brand evolution work already underway on Project Biome's side, potentially offering Iris expertise in brand development, visual identity, and how branding translates into digital experience. App updates are pushed roughly every two weeks, providing regular opportunities to integrate brand evolution into the platform experience.
Deep-dive technical review of Project Biome's MVP app (launched Earth Day on Apple App Store) and Holo Movement platform to explore tech stack compatibility and interoperability opportunities. Includes app review session with Julia and Emilio (Portal lead), wireframe and flow analysis, and exploration of how platforms might connect while maintaining data sovereignty. This is the technical foundation for the broader collaboration vision of creating a meshwork of interconnected communities rather than monolithic platforms. Will explore shared patterns around authentication, membership models, and data architecture.
Development of collaboration framework between Purpose Earth (Holo Movement) and Project Biome organizations, exploring three layers: (1) programming overlap and joint initiatives, (2) meta-governance around data sovereignty, open source, indigenous protocols, and ethical AI use, and (3) technical building camaraderie. Includes reconnection with Zach Bush to clarify support and involvement, relationship with Origin Project within Project Biome ecosystem, and establishing healthy boundaries around what each organization holds. Julia emphasized at 54:25 that healthy collaboration requires clarity on distinct purposes: Project Biome focuses on skill sharing and storytelling within regenerative movement, while Origin is cultural/community event platform.
Exploration and development of a shared 'digital pattern language' for building platforms that center people, connection, joy, curiosity, aliveness, ethics, and indigenous practice. Inspired by Christopher Alexander's pattern language framework (referenced at 39:00-41:00), this initiative explores fundamental questions: How do we ethically use AI? How do we open source without enabling extraction? How do we build generously while remaining sustainable? This meta-level work creates reusable patterns, principles, and practices for the meshwork of regenerative community platforms, including shared approaches to authentication, membership models, data sovereignty, and indigenous protocols.
Development of technical and ethical standards for interoperability between regenerative movement platforms, addressing the insight Stella shared at 22:23: 'our tech doors are closed, our data, our communities. We're not even thinking about how we collaborate.' This initiative explores how platforms can interconnect while maintaining data sovereignty, indigenous protocols, and protection from extractive use. Builds on Alex Ferman's working group on interoperability from Wave Activation Day (23:30). Technical exploration of authentication bridging, data sharing protocols, and API standards that enable the 'meshwork of interconnected communities' vision James described at 39:00 rather than monolithic platform thinking.
