Evan Prodromou<p><a href="https://prodromou.pub/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>introduction</span></a> </p><p>My name is Evan Prodromou. I&#39;m an Open Source software enthusiast, best known for my work in wikis and in social software.</p><p>I work as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation.</p><p>I live in Montreal, love to garden with native plants, make wine, cook, and live an examined life.</p>
Evan Prodromou<p>Doing this thing today</p>
Evan Prodromou<p>I have switched my centre of gravity to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://cosocial.ca/@evan" class="u-url mention">@<span>evan@cosocial.ca</span></a></span> . That&#39;s where I&#39;m reading content now, and where you&#39;ll get the things I post.</p><p>I&#39;m going to move my follower graph there soon-ish, but until then I&#39;ll be boosting from this account. I&#39;m doing it manually about once a day or so.</p><p>If you want to get more frequent updates, follow me there.</p>

Evan Prodromou<p>If you have a beard or moustache, how do you keep it clean?</p><p><a href="https://prodromou.pub/tags/EvanPoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EvanPoll</span></a> <a href="https://prodromou.pub/tags/Poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Poll</span></a></p>
Evan Prodromou<p>That&#39;s interesting. I&#39;ve been having a lot as snacks lately, so less than a week.</p>

Evan Prodromou<p>Awaiting the first &quot;DEFINE &#39;POPCORN&#39;&quot; comment</p>
Evan Prodromou<p>Wow, this is a very popular poll! Lots of responses.</p><p>I think what the comments show is that there are a lot of ideas and designs for how UBI could work.</p><p>I think the poll response shows that a lot of people want it to work.</p><p>I&#39;m a qualified yes. I think all people have a right to the basics: food, shelter, education, and so on. UBI could do that. If UBI became a substitute for providing these to people, I&#39;d be opposed.</p><p>Thanks everyone for responses!</p>

Evan Prodromou<p>Should we have a universal basic income (UBI)?</p><p><a href="https://prodromou.pub/tags/EvanPoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EvanPoll</span></a> <a href="https://prodromou.pub/tags/Poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Poll</span></a> <a href="https://prodromou.pub/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UBI</span></a></p>
Evan Prodromou<p>The advice I gave my 17-year-old daughter is this: keep a base here in Montreal, and visit other places as much as you can. Live in them temporarily for months or even years. But keep this place as your home.</p><p>My kids both grew up here their entire lives. I feel like that was a big gift we gave them. I hope they know how important it is to keep it, and I hope they never feel stifled by it.</p>
Evan Prodromou<p>Deciding where you live on this planet is a huge privilege. Most people don&#39;t get to choose. The globe isn&#39;t a Tinder app they can swipe left and right on.</p><p>I&#39;m glad I and my kids have a lot of optionality, but that comes with some pressure to make the right decisions.</p>
Evan Prodromou<p>I really loved this book when I read it. It&#39;s a great study of what it means to belong somewhere.</p><p><a href="https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20030213W/This_is_where_you_belong?edition=key%3A/books/OL27210260M" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">openlibrary.org/works/OL200302</span><span class="invisible">13W/This_is_where_you_belong?edition=key%3A/books/OL27210260M</span></a></p>
Evan Prodromou<p>And I&#39;m *very* far from my father&#39;s and grandfather&#39;s and great-grandfather&#39;s birthplace in Jerusalem. I&#39;ve only visited once.</p><p>I&#39;m far from their origins in Athens, Crete, and Greek-speaking Asia Minor.</p><p>As well as my mother&#39;s family&#39;s origins in Ireland, Wales, England, The Netherlands, and Germany.</p><p>I feel like I have set down roots here in Montreal in these last 20 years, but I have homes too many other places to not feel restless.</p>
Evan Prodromou<p>This was a good poll. Lots of interesting comments.</p><p>I&#39;m a qualified yes. I love my home and my community in Montreal and my second home in Richmond the Eastern Townships, but I&#39;m a settler on indigenous land, and we haven&#39;t figured out how that can be a just situation yet.</p><p>I&#39;m also far from my parents and brothers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and my extended family in New Jersey.</p>
