HTML, JavaScript, Phonegap and Cordova.2017 Began working with https://nycmesh.net to develop educational tools to help community owned networks to scale using a decentralized model 20••••16 Primarily engaged in pro bono services to create web properties supporting horizontal communication tools for grassroots activists involved in the Bernie Sanders primary campaign. Ron was an elected NY 14 CD Delegate, pledged to Bernie Sanders.20••••15 Designed and developed a social network with online courseware for healthcare administrators in Africa fighting HIV, TB, Malaria and Ebola. See: https://leadernet.org We also developed GovScore Global, http://bit.ly/govscore - a governance maturity assessment tool. Phonegap and the JavaScript FLOT library were used for a mobile app governance survey with mobile offline data collection and online data visualizations for comparing organizations.In 2011, LoudFeed partners, Ron Suarez and Margarete Koenen were developers #1 and #2 for the website that registered users in 100 Working Groups for Occupy Wall Street. We used a Multisite WordPress installation with BuddyPress to build a social network, where each Group maintained minutes of their meetings, their own calendar and discussion forum. We thus, centralized the engineering, but decentralized content control that enabled each Group to employ consensus democracy for governance and decision making. Occupy was unable to scale Direct Democracy, but Liquid Democracy offers a solution to scaling Consensus - see: http://bit.ly/consensusdemocracy and http://bit.ly/liquiddemocracysimplified
