§ Contribution in your perspective
5 min read
Where do you recognise yourself in this work?
Federation work touches every layer of the ecosystem differently. What becomes visible from an administrator's perspective is not what a researcher reads, or what a Lab resident does daily. Pick where you stand, or read on at your own pace.
§ Choose a perspective
From which role are you looking at this work?
Several roles can fit. Choosing none is also legitimate, the broader story remains available on /contribution.
§ Before you choose
A short note before you pick.
Federation work happens because this kind of work needs to be done. That it touches what administrators, Labs, entrepreneurs, citizens and researchers care about in different ways is consequence, not goal.
Anyone who comes here to get something usually does not find what they look for. Anyone who comes to see whether something resonates with what they themselves carry sees, on its own, where the work meets their own work.
With that caveat: pick above the perspective closest to where you stand.
Federation work happens on its own. What is readable here per role describes how that work relates to different perspectives, not what federation promises anyone.
For the broader story about what federation work contributes to the whole ecosystem, see /contribution. For the legal context: /implementation-gap. For what federation as a whole is: /about and /alignment.
