THREAD: What did the @Pan_Quake community learn at tonight's 2nd monthly public delivery meeting?

(The full event video will be posted at the bottom of this thread!)

#TalkLiberation

1/?

First: updated campaign statistics

Only 4 weeks on, we've had a 50% increase in donations, a 30% increase in donors, 4 new campaign updates posted, 6 new media appearances and some very dodgy and untrustworthy new follow stats from big tech that may or may not be accurate!

2/?

Second: more techy geeky stuff

You may remember from last month, we'd completed our use cases, workflows, & mockups.

This month we've been mapping our application properties: the objects, methods & data structures that our code will reference & which define our application

3/?

Third: updated front end development pathway

All front end elements are now set in stone & signed off on. We will likely have our entire set of final screen proofs by next month (we have quite a few already) then can begin to build, test & eventually integrate the pages.

4/?

Fourth: serving our community isn't just about the tech

We know you've embraced Panquake not just as a product but as something really close to your hearts so our marketing team is working to give you some really cool stuff. Vids, soft & hard copy designs & merchandise!

5/?

Fifth: Because our donors are our investors, we have chosen to make our build process the most transparent I've ever seen done in the public arena.

We want our business to be transparent too. So some key staff have committed to sharing their @Pan_Quake experiences with you

6/?

Sixth: In this letter to our donors, our Support Manager relays her feelings about her interactions and communications with you, our Community, and shares what it's like to work on the @Pan_Quake team

Spoiler alert: she lets slip that Panquake will have live chat support!

7/?

Seventh: Where is our donor money going? Is it being used well? Do we really know how to build a commercial software enterprise?

Trolls & smear agents are working hard to spread lies & seed distrust. But our Accounts Administrator blows the lies completely out of the water:

8/?

Eighth: Panquake's web presence is ever-growing and being lovingly tended to by our amazing volunteer staff

This list of our public digital assets may help you to find us in places you didn't realise we inhabit

We announced we've joined Substack & will be blogging too!

9/?

Ninth: With a nod to Barlow's "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" & Assange's "A Call To Cryptographic Arms" @Pan_Quake's first Substack post will be a modern day treatise on user privacy, security, state & corporate abuse of the internet & a call to action

The very smart @Liberte_info told me Panquake isn't just swimming upstream, it is swimming up the Niagra Falls.

He's right, but we aren't scared & we aren't stopping. We *will* deliver.

*When* can you get your hands on this life-changing product? That depends on you.

11/?

I am very grateful for & most importantly mindful of the support, investment, sacrifices, trust, hope, confidence and experiences of our staff, our donors, our endorsers, our Community and our future users. They are why we give this our all.

Our success is your freedom

12/?

And now without further adieu, here is the playback of our March Panquake Public Delivery Meeting!

Would love to hear all of your feedback.

I'm already looking forward to next month!
