Hey everyone! Do we have anyone going (online... it's all virtual!) to Allied Media Conference this year? I'm presenting a session on Surveillance-Resistant Organizing. https://amc2020.sched.com/event/d8Eh/surveillance-resistant-organizing ... We're going to cover not just security culture and personal digital security, but also how to make sure adding security measures doesn't make your organizing less accessible to anyone. We're also going to briefly address how surveillance has impacted organizing in history, to situate ourselves. It'll probably be quite american-focused because that's where we live, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts. (My parents were born and raised in Taiwan, and they are in Taiwan now. That's why I'm interested in g0v and here in the g0v slack haha... that, and I met some awesome people at DWeb Camp last year!)

Not sure if this is government related enough, but is anyone interested in making TW tourism more accessible to non-Mandarin speakers? Or if there’s already a group doing this, plz let me know! I’m really amazed by how Iceland became _the_ stopover destination on the way to Europe, and I am confident TW can achieve the same :)
Sounds cool! Do you have a plan in mind?
ah sorry for my late response! don't always check this slack 😛 haha - some initial thoughts:
Following Iceland's economic recession in 2008, the gov't invested a ton into tourism and now tourism accounts for 1/3 of its GDP. Iceland succeeded in becoming a stopover destination to/from Europe, using a few principles:
• Free and easy way to add a multi-day stopover when booking flights
• Promoting top 3 most unique landmarks that are 'instaworthy'
• Clearly defining a 'Golden Circle' route that covers the above landmarks and can be completed in a few days time
• Multiple ways to travel the 'Golden Circle' route -- leaving flexibility for Millennials who prefer to drive or take hop on/off busses
after surveying my network, one realization i had was most people did not have an immediate image of what a trip to TW would look like. so i think even simplifying TW to its top 3 attractions would really help people visualize (and then desire) a trip there. then, if the transit options were incredibly easy to understand/flexible, that would further reduce friction. happy to hear your thoughts!
