Community The Malleable Systems Collective is a community space that catalogs and experiments with malleable software and systems that reset the balance of power via several essential principles detailed below. For all of these principles, it is not yet clear how to best achieve them, and there are sure to be many possible solutions with different tradeoffs. We’ll need to experiment as community with various approaches. The collective’s primary goal is to report on such efforts and raise awareness of work in these directions.

Our Pledge We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

We hope the collective’s mission has inspired you to follow the community’s work, post your thoughts, and share your experiments. There are many ways to get involved and contribute to this movement.
