hey all! Look for some advice on a lightweight online ORID (Focussed Conversation) process that I'm working through -- basically the fact/feeling/idea/decision process that #vtaiwan plays out in digital and physical spaces.
Trying to decide on the best emoji to represent the "decisional" phase. I went through the GitHub emoji and pulled out these ones as candidates:
https://hackmd.io/s/SJLZMTJvM#
Any advice? Bonus points for:
- word label also fitting
- different colors than other emoji
- cross-cultural significance
Feel free to suggest any others that I missed! Thanks! (A list in order of your fave is great too! yay ranked ballot)

i think my personal faves are (in order): :seedling: :balloon: :anchor:🔑🌻

I use ✍️ in my slides

but to complete your series (which is simpler and may work better in low-res env), I think 🔍 ❤️ 💡 ✅ works too
patcon
nice! thx. i think i have a unexamined bias for symbols that can be said out-loud without looking at the underlying mardown... but not sure if that's reasonable 🙂
(re-evaluating though!)
(re-evaluating though!)

inclusive (multimodal audiovisual) iconography is certainly a reasonable criteria — I’ll try out the new set in some future slides and see how the audience reacts

trying out some combos between both your versions. there’s something really nice about revolving hearts and the idea of many/multiple.
itsmisscs
simplicity cannot be underestimated though 🙂 the more i look at 🔍 ❤️ 💡 ✅ the more i 💗

I’m not too particular, but I like how the two in the center here are colorful, indicating perhaps that here is where creativity and stuff can happen, whereas the other processes are more logical, facts and decisions.
itsmisscs
that is quite nice @katehnicholson. another consideration
patcon
Love this convo! Realized the set might differ depending on whether we want each icon to be referring to the individual statement unit, or the whole phase itself. Perhaps different approaches depending on that lens?
patcon
Fwiw, i suspect the connection between magnifying glass / detective / Sherlock / facts is very western centric (and maybe that's OK)
itsmisscs
The more we keep it simple the better. I was assuming these represent each phase.
patcon
Down with that! Fwiw, the icons go beside each statement (like bullet points) in the system I was working on, so I'm still uncertain what simple is :)

Folks, shall we have a discussion about this soon-ish, I hope they let us know whom we’ve been merged with soon…
patcon
YES. we kinda half talked about it in a casual hangout call today (see notes). but hard to go further without knowing the merge. I'll post email AS SOON as i get it.
for now, i think we agreed that the 100% solid thing we could work on asap is logistics around (1) @au getting you and your team here, and (2) discussing/researching possible itineraries for meeting communities and gov officials (of course, it's totally up to you @au how scheduled you'd like to be)

sure, I’m happy to visit Toronto (either in the flesh or via telepresence). ShuYang is in charge of PDIS’s international schedule.

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/02/stupid-cities/553052/ -- some gems in here, especially:
>That’s why smart cities, in this new digital era of Big Five and China-BAT industry consolidation, drift away from open public websites and popular comments. Instead, they’re adopting that new surveillance-marketing paradigm of “data extractivity.” Why trouble to ask the “citizens” what they want from urban life, when you can accurately surveil the real actions of city’s “users” and decode what they’re actually doing, as opposed to what they vaguely claim they might want to do? Historically, this is a rather typical drift for a left-wing mass-democratic ideology—from the unwieldy awkwardness of rallying the entire people, and toward the semi-covert vanguard of the revolution.

Mhmmmm. Right-o. “smart” =not transparent and =not inclusive/participatory
lizbarry
the "rather typical shift" line really got me
lizbarry
can anyone refer me to a critique of vanguardism?
devin
I think there are a few "vanguardism"s out there
devin
the marxist/leninist stuff is a particular type. I tend to use the term to describe when a small group of elites who think they know the REAL truth lead the masses by whatever means they deem necessary.

early-bird tickets end feb 28, if anyone has folk in mind who they want to attend (particularly important in toronto)
patcon
i wonder if we could do remote participation well enough that groups could participate from afar (or just from non-ticketed locations...)
