Hey Daniel (@endprogresstraps), exactly true!
Dan and @MarkusKruger, you guys should talk. Maybe your tech may compliment each other…at least the tidal energy part of Markus’s hack:
Markus is an experienced physicist, educator and consultant I work with and who is part of SRG. Markus is definitely a nonlinear thinker!
Ian (@Ianpat) and his partner and co-facilitator Deidre use Causal Layered Analysis and wicked problem analysis as tools in their facilitation. Deidre is a Masters student at STellenbosch’s Institute for Future’s Research and we are meeting at the Cape Town Science Centre for a debriefing of the hackathon kickoff event.
Ian is now taking all the data gathered and we are going to determine how we map this. @William, What you say makes a lot of sense. I think what we will do is report back to all of you once we have our debriefing. Then we can couple William’s idea into that. I also thought of developing a kind of “Open Water Standard” for buildings that would integrate a lot of the subsystems required for putting together a water smart building.
I think we need two versions:
- new builds
- retrofits
So once we have all the data, we will then begin the mapping exercise. We will probably include Kumu guru Gene Bellinger in this…as he is a master at both Kumu and Insight Maker software, which can give us a way to quantitatively model.
I invite all of you to help me do the mapping as well. I’m going to start out and develop a skeleton
And if you don’t already know, Daniel (@endprogresstraps) wrote one of the first books on Progress Traps years ago - Escaping the Progress Trap

Dan and I have an interesting complementary connection! He is originally from Cape Town but has moved to Canada. I’m originally from Canada but have moved to Cape Town!
