Dropping a "meta" link related to co-organizing:
I've put together a Speaker Booking Guide forked from what Civic Tech Toronto hacknight co-organizers learned from several years of booking weekly speakers: https://link.g0v.london/speaker-booking-guide

Google Docs

g0v.london: Speaker Booking Guide

Speaker Booking Guide g0v.london :red_circle: You are HERE: <https://link.g0v.london/speaker-booking-guide> The purpose of this resource is to… hi there! :wave::skin-tone-6::wave::skin-tone-3::wave::skin-tone-5: if you’re reading this, you’re welcome to contribute :tada: we appreciate comments, incl liberal +1's to follow the doc (all comments), subs...

@ruth.wetters has offered to do the first booking to help dog-food the guide, and we'll adapt from there
In Toronto, it's common that the person doing the speaker booking role to kinda "hold ownership" of the guide, and is encouraged to make changes as they're passing off to the next person, based on what they've learned/liked/disliked
I'm hoping someone else will take the role after ruth, and will feel welcome to try it and make any changes they see fit after this MVP guide gets a chance to be tried out 🙏🏻
(in toronto, speaker booking is one of the longer roles, held for 3 months of weekly bookings, but I believe @ruth.wetters is just offering to help with this one pilot as a way to start small)
I'd be stoked if you were open to booking a few more Ruth, but no pressure! ❤️
Just ran through the doc with @ruth.wetters, and she's running with it to trial our email cold-call process! Lemme know if you have any questions, @ruth.wetters 🙏🏻

@harrisspinos00 I found another sticker printing website! 33 pounds for 250 stickers. What do you think? https://www.stickershop.co.uk/products/round-waterproof-vinyl

stickershop.co.uk

Round - White Waterproof Vinyl - Printed Labels &amp; Stickers

About our waterproof stickers Our round waterproof printed stickers are designed to be used both indoors and outdoor. Printed onto 100 micron brilliant white waterproof vinyl, your stickers won't fail to impress! These round printed stickers are water resistant, meaning thy can get wet and withstand splashes of water without any fear of the inks running making the perfect outdoor sticker. Outdoor waterproof stickers can be used for a huge range of applications - from labelling machinery to branding cosmetic pots! Our sticker printing experts have you covered and are available to help any step of the way. Enter your diameter and sticker quantity

Ok this is great better than Vistaprint, we should use it
@harrisspinos00 Let's order some this week? 250 stickers for me is a good number. You can put the expense here:
http://link.g0v.london/expenses
@aelcenganda Yes absolutely, tomorrow I will have a chat with Catherine (graphic designer who you met) about new designs, possibly we can get Newspeak or London related stickers ready to print soon
May you help print out the existing stickers design? I also can't wait for the London version
True I agree, I can take care of it this evening
@harrisspinos00 Thank you so much!!!
If so I need access granted, I sent a request on Drive
Also there are 40 designs: the printing co lets you do up to 12 per time
If you need I can do 250 stickers x 10 designs, times 4 orders
So 40 designs x 25 pcs each = 1000 total ~~ what do you think?
nice! this looks fuckin RAD
i feel very inclined to just say pull-the-trigger, but ALSO, would be happy to see less ordered, because London designers might show up and be interested to customize or add a local flair, and so maybe we'll want to re-order in the short-term
but also, i'm way more inclined to action, so don't let me stop you. worst case we just have a shit-ton of stickers and still re-print if anyone want to add personal touches later (just my 2c, sorry if I'm missing context)
tl;dr 🎉 STICKERS WOOOOOO
oh! catherine making some. missed that. we already made it big-time -- custom stickers!
Yeah there’s a dilemma but I want to pull the trigger here too. If it were possible to order 250 stickers / 40 designs we wouldn’t need to have such a shit ton
To be fair I haven’t looked deeper into their terms or gotten in contact, maybe 12 designs is not their absolute limit
i am 100% on the 250 idea. more is gravey, but maybe not needed
i'm down for whatever lets you move at the speed you want to (reading terms sounds boooooring if you can avoid it haha)
@harrisspinos00
I think this is the right files of skill stickers. I think we can also just print general ones like Dig, Push, Fill and Newbie

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19EskaGwNsPba-qrzVpRtKsRsYYrkai9B
Or just 250 g0v logo stickers, which I am still confirming where are the latest g0v logo sticker files. @tkirby @moon_c @averyying2022 @besslee
@harrisspinos00 We should change the text of g0v logo sticker from g0v.tw to g0v.london (Just thought of it)
@averyying2022 said she put the g0v logo sticker files in this folder as well https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18aHfl6SfLTDkkiykwt8YD4Q1AH6uT2re
@aelcenganda stickers are confirmed on print queue yay

@aelcenganda @ruth.wetters Should we create a public #london-organising channel or something, for organizing-curious ppl to explicitly hop into?
I'm slightly worried for ppl to arrive in the "main" channel and feel like they're in the wrong place because of all the advanced meta stuff
I guess so far it is okay if we put more discussion on the outputs of the hacknight. Creating another channel also works.

TICTeC

Call for proposals: civic tech in hostile environments - repurpose existing software in new contexts

In one sentence TICTeC Action Lab #6 is looking for an individual, organisation or joint team to produce a piece of work which repurposes existing software in a way which benefits civic tech organisations working in hostile environments. About this project TICTeC Action Lab #6 members agree

🤔 Wonder if we could invite ppl in whoa are alreaddy interested in making a proposal... and offer them to use the civic hacknight platform to meet out of :)
Shall we write to mySociety? with cc to hi@g0v.london

mySociety is such a hub in civic tech space and based in UK 😆

The "LDN" addition makes me feel really great tbh... Been doing g0v-adjecent stuff for years, but those interactions never really created something real-world like stickers for g0v in another place :) feels kinda like a watershed point for me personally. Aka thanks!

Hey guys, we are discussing the language issue (in Mandarin) on the join.g0v.tw. The reason that the Slack workspace invitation page only shows Chinese is because @ronnywang set all traffics to Slack invites to traditional Chinese page as Slack directs Taiwanese users to simplified Chinese page (zh-cn) instead of traditional Chinese (zh-tw).

@ronnywang already wrote to Slack customer supports. Another workaround is to create another redirect url for non-traditional-Mandarin users. Then the Slack invite page will be displayed in the browser setting languge.

大家好，關於加入 g0v slack 的連結 <http://join.g0v.tw|join.g0v.tw> ，因為 slack 語系判斷笨笨的，台灣使用者會被判斷成簡體中文造成使用者加入時觀感不太好，因此我之前寫死 <http://join.g0v.tw|join.g0v.tw> 會直接顯示正體中文（先前是使用英文時有些英文不好的新參者看到英文界面也會排斥不太敢加入） 不過在 <#C01RDCVDGHZ|g0v-slack> 頻道 <@U0RQYV16K> 提到有英國使用者加入看到中文有點怕不敢加入，也造成了外國參與者的困擾。我這邊想到一個作法是，<http://join.g0v.tw|join.g0v.tw> 還是保持寫死正體中文，給台灣使用者使用，但是增加一個 <http://slack.g0v.tw|slack.g0v.tw> 之類的新網址，他會依照使用者語系判斷，就可以給外國人使用，想問問看大家覺得這樣的作法如何，有沒有建議其他作法，以及有沒有建議其他的網址之類的

thanks to @ronnywang

Slack solved the language problem!!! Folks here using English interface should be able to see Slack workspace invitation on https://join.g0v.tw in English

Re: speaker booking process and peeking into it
I'm gonna work on speaker booking later tonight, and maybe tightening up the process (still need to create a Google Group to back the speakers@g0v.london collab email inbox)
If anyone is curious about the process and wants to be a bird on the wire, ping me or emoji react and I'm happy to add you to the shared email forwarder, so you can read along and observe :)
And if it looks easy enough, we'd be excited if someone else wanted to step up for a shift of speaker booking down the road

Just invited a cool woman named Lucy to the hacknight! She's just starting a job in marketing at an edtech company called Multiverse, and we met while she was trying to attend a cancelled Effective Altruism event at newspeak. She has 2 kids and is trying to figure out how to do community projects with her limited spare time as a mother :blush:
