Ideation - Mind over Machine

Regenerative software may just be the most purposeful rabbit hole you could dive into RIGHT NOW and we want to explore it together.

— Where do we see potential for regenerative software?

"Mind over Machine", the new Think-tank and Laboratory for regenerative software is now formally established, and we will run a first round of ideation with the community.

The purpose is simple: Generate ideas that can form the foundation of the first projects to run in the laboratory: A survey, an Open Source tool, an article, a podcast, a tutorial, a model ...anything goes really!

Maybe you are a student and need a purposeful topic to base your master-thesis or internship on. Or maybe you just dream of joining forces with others around ideas you have, that would make the world a better place - this is it!

Mind Over Machine

We will collectively generate, challenge and shape the initial ideas that could define MoM. Expect slightly half-baked thoughts and enthusiastic disagreement.

Join our Open Space style meeting for generation of initial ideas. The program will play out roughly as follows:

• Brainstorm ideas, record them in an online backlog
• From stage, briefly pitch each idea in the backlog
• Upvote the ones that you believe in and would like to contribute to
• Similar to Open Space Discussions, we will organize in parallel groups in short time slots and each group will discuss and record project details and perspectives to the ideas
• If possible we will organize in work groups around the most vivid ideas and launch projects.

Prior to the event (optional):
You are welcome to take a jump start and present some of your ideas, even prior to the event. The following is a short description on the infrastructure and process we will use.

1. Create an account on GitHub if you haven't already.
2. We will be working in the GitHub Discussions (Ideas category) in our @mindovermachine-dev organization.
3. You will see that there are already a few ideas drafted out.
4. CONTINUE! Add your own ideas. If someone else already wrote an idea you like, vote it up, comment on it, supplement it with your own perspective.
5. Consider reading the Guideline for suggesting ideas first

See you there 🌱
