If we’re to overcome our obstacles, this is the message to broadcast—internally and externally. We will not be stopped by failure, we will not be rushed or distracted by external noise. We will chisel and peg away at the obstacle until it is gone. Resistance is futile.

After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Cooperative Development Guidelines now have a Governance Document that can be used by any Organization/Foundation/Collective/Community/Project that wants to have a governance based on participatory, equity and permacomputing/accessibility principles.
Its time for us to finally start building participatory digital commons, that are developed by the community and for the community and the Governance document is part 1 of doing just that. (Decision making and Structure will follow after this).
I am also excited to announce that @queerspark has also been listed as a collective that adopted pieces of the Cooperative Development Guidelines.

The image depicts a fantastical forest scene with a woman in the foreground. She is wearing a flowing blue dress and has her hair styled in braids. Her posture is graceful, with one hand gently touching the ground and the other raised slightly. The background features a large tree with a face resembling the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland," with a wide grin and cat-like features. The forest is filled with large mushrooms, glowing plants, and a deer standing in a clearing. The lighting is ethereal, with a mix of blue and warm tones, creating a mystical atmosphere. The scene is rich in detail, with various elements contributing to the enchanting and otherworldly feel of the image.

Haaretz has reported that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu supports a plan to confine Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to a so-called "humanitarian city" in Rafah, a plan critics have compared to a concentration camp.
Under the proposal, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be admitted into the camp after undergoing security screening.
"Give them Ben & Jerry's, for all I care," Netanyahu has said, a source told Haaretz.

What did you use to generate this? I've used Coagula Light in years past to generate sound files from images.
I also learned from experience that, if one wants the sound file to resemble sweeping pitches rather than white noise, one needs to optimize the image first with a Glowing Edges filter (either monochrome or controlling for color) and possibly adjust contrast.
I just used a quick and dirty written java program to "render" the wave file. I render the luminance of the image which works well with most of my images.
(And it is also an interesting sound effect)

The image shows a close-up of a brown leather watch strap placed on a green cutting mat with yellow grid lines. The strap has several evenly spaced holes along its length, indicating it is adjustable.
