Sociocracy in Free and Open-Source Projects
ArtAndFeminism 2017 Livrustkammaren 06 - - Sociocracy For All

Members of Sociocracy For All (SoFA) believe that sociocracy can be an effective companion of the free-culture movement. Both efforts desire to share power broadly among people who can benefit from it, and each community can benefit from the tools that the other provides.

Free and Open-source projects value the participation of people anywhere, and this resonates strongly with the SoFA vision of ensuring that no one is ignored as we’re trying to work together.

Stay updated

Currently, the work within SoFA is held by Free and Open-Source Content (FOSC) Sector Circle, which is a child circle of Ecosystem Circle. FOSC Sector Circle is in early stages yet: if you would like to get updates quarterly, sign up for our newsletter!

… to learn more about how Free and Open-source projects may be benefiting from sociocracy right now

  • We have a map of SoFA members and organizations that use sociocracy, and we would be happy to work on adding you to that map.

… to support your project if you want to explore sociocracy

We offer exploratory calls with one or more circle members as part of our voluntary work. Are you curious about seeking training or other consulting around adopting sociocracy or enhancing your use of sociocracy? We would be happy to connect with you!

… to contribute to the free culture movement

  • We in SoFA are also committed to the principles of the free-culture movement: one of our aims includes sharing materials primarily under a Creative Commons license. The SoFA Creative Commons library includes the sociocracy manual Many Voices, One Song. One of our goals is to build up a community around maintaining and enhancing that library.
  • The SoFA Discussion Forum provides a public place for organizing many different threads of discussion around sociocracy.

Let’s get in touch!
