Resources
This pages includes resources and notes on concepts I have found useful and reference in my work. These are not my work, all credits are to the original authors, but they are pretty cool, meaning open-source, so take what you find useful ;-)
I believe with conviviality it is actually useful to start from the roots. In English the word means “the enjoyment of festive society, festivity” is a word loaned indefinitely without payment from the French. Convivialite in French coined by Anthelme Brillat-Savarin gastrophilosopher in his 1825 book Physiologie du gout to describe the atmosphere at the table when different people come together over a meal, and spend time in excited conversation. An alternate root may be the Spanish la convivencia used by Americo Castro in 1948 to mean the peaceful coexistence between different religious groups in Spain between the eighth and fifteenth centuries.
For writing I have found a number of tools that help me create more in a sensible way. The main backbone of my process is Logseq a great way to organise and structure your notes and thinking. It is open-source using markdown files making your notes portable across various systems, you can just take them anywhere. And the community offers a dazzling array of plugins, from local LLMs, text-to-speech, Git version controll, to drawing utilities. If you like organising your thoughts and data you will love Obsidian. Oh and every page on this site is written on it.
