The [[IxDA]] non-profit is shutting down, seen via [@jarango](https://x.com/jarango/status/1801744205792088491) who comments: "how do we build a community of practice in a world where in-person conferences are no longer a viable means for funding community orgs?"

I have many thoughts on this, and we'll be exploring this for [[Causal Islands]].

## Board Shutdown Announcement June 2024

[An Announcement from the Board Regarding the Future of IxDA](https://ixda.org/an-announcement-from-the-board-regarding-the-future-of-ixda/)

> **In August we will be dissolving the legal entity.** This means that the non-profit side of IxDA will cease to exist (including the board), along with the operational, financial, and organizational capacity to run global events such as Interaction Week, the Interaction Design Education Summit, and the Student Design Charette.  
>
> **The community, consisting of Local Groups around the world, will continue to exist.** IxDA Oslo will take over ownership of the ixda.org domain, which will continue to be a resource for interaction designers and community organizers, including our extensive video library covering conference talks from the last 15 years.
---

> For a while now, <mark>the conference business model has been unsustainable for us</mark>. The yearly Interaction conference was the primary way the organization made enough money to operate throughout the year. The money we did make went to paying our Executive Director, contractor fees, and operating costs for the organization. We have always been a primarily volunteer run organization operating on a slim budget and have never been wildly profitable, which has always seen us in a vulnerable position.
### Reactions

> Sad to see @IxDA winding down. Sounds like a highly stressful time for the org’s leadership. Thanks to everyone who’s cleaning up the mess and especially to Andrea Mignolo for the clarity of your communications.
>
> Beyond the stress and suffering, I see this as a further data point re: the changing landscape for design. While it may be too early to tell whether the problems that led to this situation were inherent to the org or caused by the changing context (likely: both), the fact remains that the post-pandemic world looks different.
>
> A key open question now: <mark>how do we build a community of practice in a world where in-person conferences are no longer a viable means for funding community orgs?</mark> Perhaps a more bottom-up, federated approach is in order? Other ideas?

Open source is no longer a radical act. From legal innovation to ways of working remotely and collaboratively, the past 20 years have integrated it as a common baseline. Can we get maintainers paid, make open source a job, and work alongside new tools like AI? What new licenses, ways of working, and principles power the next 20 years?

I’ve run [[Full Stack]], an early stage fund, as a proto-venture studio.

I founded [[Frontier Foundry]] which began as a venture studio for frontier tech.

Not the same thing, but [[industrial research labs]] might be similarly structured.
