Jetzt endlich #AfDVerbotPrüfen! ⬇️

I did the thing! I submitted a talk! It went well!

On day 4 of hashtag#39c3, I proposed and held a session to try and agree on a name for a category of knowledge. People came, shared some horror stories, then we started talking solutions.

We are now prototyping #collaborationarchitecture

Vielen Dank für den sehr guten Vortrag.

Nachdem ich ein wenig verdaut habe, ist meine Schlussfolgerung: Wir haben jahrelang nicht richtig an Vernetzung der Daten, Menschen und Organisationen gebaut, deshalb verspricht uns jetzt dieses Produkt, dass es das für uns "mit KI" erledigt.

I feel quite ridiculous. Spent 4 days at #38c3, proposed a session on day 3, held the session on day 4 at the Free Knowledge Habitat and now we have the start of a new academic discipline, because at this point everyone can see the problem. #collaborationarchitecture

Is there a knitting assembly?

For my German speaking followers..
Jetzt in der ARD Mediathek. So toll

Arrived at #39C3 yesterday after getting a ticket - yesterday. Nice. Have registered for the angel system, shall do all my covid testing and then find all the good stuff.

I do think maybe next year I will submit a talk. I have prepared nothing because work has been intense and incredible.

Anyone have a #39C3 ticket they do not need?

News: This week I came to an agreement with the Enterprise Architect of the organisation I work in (Germany, manufacturing, 11K+ people) that we would include my thing in the Business Capability Model. I am now going to call it Collaboration Architecture. And I have pilot projects lined up.

@jan-bleis.bsky.social sitze mal wieder in der Straßenbahn und liebe es einfach. Muss heute nicht pünktlich im Büro sein & habe deshalb die ganze Linie 5 von der Mecklenburger Allee genommen. So ein schöner Herbsttag.

Schützt die Klima-Milliarden: Keine Haushaltstricks für neue Autobahnen! Deutschland hat schon jetzt eines der dichtesten Straßennetze der Welt. Der Neubau von Straßen ist unnötig und würde für noch mehr klimaschädlichen Auto- und LKW-Verkehr sorgen.  Wenn wir nicht ...

Statt Klimaschutz und Eisenbahn sollen Milliarden für neue Autobahnen fließen – das gefährdet unsere Zukunft. Jetzt unterzeichnen ✍️ weact.campact.de/petitions/sc...

Two posters side-by-side, describing UX Design in Organisations. On the left, no design happens - decisions are made behind closed doors, users not involved. The result is multiple hours spent doing the work on the operational level. On the right, where UX Design happens on the decision level, the work on the operational level does not require more effort than necessary.

Neue Visuals als durchschlagendes Argument für UX Design in Organisationen. Y/N?

Hello OLAF on Bluesky! euantifraud.bsky.social

Wow thank you :D I would love for you to be a part of it. I mean you already are. :D

I have a README :D github.com/Annafannatic...

Monki Gras & the Open Source Annabot I went to Monki Gras (the s is silent), a wonderful two day event about craft (mostly software development and brewing) where some people remembered my talk about Icelandic knitting from ten years …

Finally home after #monkigras. Thank you @monkchips.com for creating an event with such a warm, supportive atmosphere that I dared to speak about the project closest to my heart. theanke.wordpress.com/2025/03/30/m...

I’m in London for #monkigras

Also I wish I’d talked more about how it’s going on bluesky. I’ve been focusing on LinkedIn and my own blogs. And my German language Substack. I need to write in German and where there’s a chance for anyone where I actually work (in north-east Germany) to see it

I am working on really good presentations, videos and other materials to explain what I do. It feels pointless because of the whole global thing of putting women back into domestic service. But many of our local leaders are women, so I have some hope.

And yeah I said fight. We cannot collaborate. This guy straight out asked me why we (women) do not just build structures that can compete with theirs (men.)

Of course that thing sits right at the centre of our town and our university and has already trained about a million civil servants. How exactly am I supposed fight that?

Which is lazy and also popular, because no boss needs to change anything about how their organisation is run.

Anyways since I have "Introducing the idea of Design" in my bio, I might just as well talk a little bit about how that is going.

Of course there is Design Thinking. Run by a guy who sells the idea of "totally unrelated university students can solve all your problems for you"

Also I will try to suggest a mapping of all the various tools in use throughout the organisation. I cannot believe someone has not already done this, but in two years I have not found anything.

All this means I am much closer to actually doing something useful than I ever have been before.

That is ok though. The men (of course they are all men) in middle management are resisting me with all their might because they think I am like them and want to do a quick career. This will allow (force) me to talk to them some more. It still does not mean I will get bogged down with operations.

So on Friday, during the Sprint Review with the ultimate process owner, I mentioned that I was aware of various approaches to solve that problem and suggested to research them and put them on a wall to compare them. And of course the answer was, yes, good, do that. Lol.

Also, we are completely lacking in Storytelling tools. As in, this really innovative org of 10K+ people has not even tried to implement standardised collaboration tools and habits throughout the company. Shadow IT and walled gardens everywhere. Every team builds a knowledge database of everything.

The first two were really fringe projects outside of any important part of the organisation, this one was looking at a process where it matters. Also, there are other attempts being made to solve that problem, because of course a little Sprint proposed by a little old lady could not possibly work.
