Just @lizbarry and me in-person on Friday I think. Also @katehnicholson
I didn’t do any asking about the baby.
katenicholson 2018-04-19 11:26:49
Yep. I won’t get down there until 4/5. So keep me in the loop. Also, if people wanted to have it on upper west 😜 I can offer an empty house at that time.
Ooo. So many options 🙂
I think we settled on Devin’s for now. If it gets too crowded we can grab a drink or something close by.

lizbarry 20:04:10
Looks like we'll need an agenda
lizbarry 20:04:30
If we have new people dropping in, let's do intros for 15 minutes
lizbarry 20:04:48
Devin can you let your team know this is a worksession
lizbarry 20:07:27
At minimum, we have to:
- write script for crowdfunding campaign, pull images from our School of Data slide deck for the video, launch in one week
- re-plan ticket price brackets and how we articulate that if gov people can pay more, they need to.
- check through the budget spreadsheet
lizbarry 20:10:31
Our style guide for the video is Christina Xi's Kickstarter for China youth ethnography
lizbarry 20:10:54
She spent time advising us at last Friday's meeting, and we need to implement
devin 22:53:03
Can you add - "how we're collaborating" to the agenda because it'd be nice to know how to plug into these tasks. Are these on a Trello? Is there an index or share folder somewhere? Who is doing this work? etc

Hi. Thanks again for inviting me to the meeting on Friday. I'm excited that you all are organizing this training. I put together a list of NYC gov contacts who I think would be interested and in a position to implement, or push for implementation of some of the vTaiwan public engagement practices and tools. Please let me know if you think any of these people are appropriate to invite to the training and I can reach out to them. Most of them I have a direct connection to, but a few are one connection removed. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZQUqWIqOkdD5Gl6c5Jb9OiIRzWH0MYoxzJg90mNeJy0/edit?usp=sharing
This is fantastic. Thank you for putting this together.

npstorey 00:02:53
The people in that list I think all have ideas/experience in public participation / engagement that I think would be interesting to the Taiwan folks.
devin 03:21:19
Great list. Thanks Nathan. Would you like to help us manage outreach?
npstorey 08:21:02
I’d be happy to help with outreach for the people I have contact with, and maybe also with the discussions about formulating the guest list if that would be helpful. When are you hoping to get the invites out?
dzn 12:43:41
Hi @nathan.p.storey Awesome that you can help with outreach. Thanks!!
dzn 12:44:23
We should have the invites out in the next week or so I think

2018-04-27

devin 05:18:12
My meeting with Senator Rivera tomorrow was "postponed" so I'm free to work with ya'll tomorrow if that's helpful.
dzn 05:20:06
oh cool!
dzn 05:20:43
I’ll get to orbital at 2:30-3PM.
npstorey 07:09:11
Unfortunately I’m out of town this Friday. I may be able to call in, but not sure. What if you all decide if you want to invite any of the people on my list, and the. I can reach out to them to gauge interest/availability, or to invite them. I can answer any questions about people on that list too if that’s helpful.
itsmisscs 08:14:37
@nathan.p.storey we are aiming to have the application up by next tuesday. we can pass the site with the link for you to send out to your contacts.
npstorey 21:03:33
Perfect. Let me know who you want me to contact and I’ll send them the info next week.
itsmisscs 21:17:27
Since @nathan.p.storey is out of town this Friday, let's meet at Orbital. I will ask Gary about using the 4th floor space with your little one. I certainly hope orbital is the kid friendly type of space.
