Keen to connect with people currently in New Zealand and Australia that are interested and/or want to learn about .

Why? Like many of you, I love learning and I'm part of Virtual Domain-driven design. Since I moved here and started to feel more settled in Auckland it would be nice to meet more local folks and maybe do some events in person 😸

At the moment (Oct 2024), I'm hosting the VDDD book club which happens every other Tuesday see https://ti.to/book-club-virtual-domain-driven-design for more dets and sign up

If you are not in NZ, please boost this post (it seems everyone knows someone in here)

SYSTEMVIZ. Last year I presented two major additions to the SystemViz Project on visualizing systems at international conferences. I'm releasing both to the general public to start the new year. Of Interest is the ESCALADE information-design framework slide-notes: http://www.systemviz.com/escalade-slidenotes1.pdf . And Anatomy of System Notations codex poster: http://www.systemviz.com/anatomy-poster1.pdf . Slidenotes for the Anatomy are also available at systemviz.com . Feedback is welcome.

Check out the Community Climate Action Toolkit from our friends The Schumacher Institute.

Packed with actions and useful resources, it's there for "to empower any community which wants to take action together."

The guide takes a systems thinking approach, helping groups explore the context in which we are acting, the interconnections and how small actions can often catalyse larger changes.

Get the guide here: https://schumacherinstitute.org.uk/community-climate-action-toolkit/

And join the launch online on Tuesday 11 July at 7pm: https://helmtickets.com/events/8578/community-climate-action-toolkit-launch-the-online-event

I decided to not fly on jets. It's interesting listening to people try to find a sustainable solution to mass Jet travel - rather than accept the logical conclusion. Generally, many thinkers are thinking, "how do we sustain our consumerist capitalist lifestyle?".

We are way past peak "stuff", & yet, airlines are planning, or is it plotting? to expand.
