### Updated HTML version
Scaling Community Conversations and Decisions
<p>
How can a group of thousands of people talk about and decide anything? &nbsp;How's this 'community' concept supposed to work at scale, even in theory?
</p>
<p>
Any Free/Libre Open Source Software project will have elements of <a href="http://data.agaric.com/drupal-do-ocracy">do-ocracy</a> (rule of those who do the work), but not all decisions should devolve to implementors. &nbsp;A better ideal is that decisions should be made by the people who are most affected.
</p>
<p>
Particularly when a decision strongly impacts more than those who carry it out, we need better ways of making decisions that give everyone their say. &nbsp;This starts by letting people by heard by everyone else. &nbsp;Fortunately, we can scale conversations and decisions in a fair and truly democratic way.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Learn why meritocracy ("rule of those with merit") is a bogus and harmful concept.
</li>
<li>
Gain a passing familiarity with various ways decisions are or have been made in Drupal and other projects.
</li>
<li>
Add sociocracy and sortition to your vocabulary and understand how these esoteric concepts can help our community scale.
</li>
<li>
Get introduced to (and give feedback on) <a href="https://visionsunite.gigalixirapp.com/">Visions Unite</a>, non-Drupal free software for mass communication mediated by the participants.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The most important things we have to do need to be done together. &nbsp;And our work together is most powerful when we make decisions about it together.
</p>
<p>
This session is for people working on developing large communities about Drupal, with Drupal, or otherwise— or existing in society.
