Notes about booking Space4, for anyone curious
they were particularly interested about the event serving ppl in the islington community, as their building is provided with support of islington council
they heavily leaned on looking at our twitter to decide if we seemed values-aligned
they wanted to know who was managing the twitter account
they are booked up with a Founders & Coders meetup in their main room for the Tuesdays we need, but have a large conference room free. it'll be a little cosier than newspeak, but doable
they offered that we can consider them to be our backup for March, and it's no hard feelings if we find another place (though not very likely at this late date)
they're willing to host us for a full month in the future, but seemed to want to understand us better. the person working with me was busy when we were talking and so i couldn't get a commitment on April

🏡 VENUE update!
I've messaged Theo Bass, an ex *Nesta UK* researcher who co-authored the big digital democracy report that featured vTaiwan/Polis. He's going to get back to me to scheme about who at Nesta would be eager to *help us get venue sponsorship* for a month

Fixed the g0v.london DNS record to redirect to meetup more robustly! cc @ian869
We were previously having issues with the 301.ronny.tw redirect service that we were using, which is run by a g0v member who runs lots of g0v infra -- without taking special measures for each domain/subdomain, redirects were giving ssl warnings when someone visited https://g0v.london instead of http://g0v.london
We're now using cloudflare's page rule redirects
For those curious, this is the config in the DNS repo for managing that: https://github.com/g0v-network/domains/blob/main/g0v.london.domain/g0v.london.yaml#L3-L17
(See the repo readme for details on how the repo works to update the cloudflare DNS records automatically when PRs are merged.)

The discussion on g0v and open source
Ael
昨天 g0v.london 開了第一次 co-organizer meeting 。其中有一個想跟大家分享的是，有人擔心歐美人用了 g0v 的名字開新社群會有文化挪用（culture appropriation)的問題，就是白人亂代言不尊重台灣文化。我和 @sylin 都覺得還好，我則是說，我一直覺得 g0v 該是世界性的，不限於台灣，我認為用了 g0v 的名字，但是不開放參與，open-washing ，才是真的剝削代言這個文化。
@sylin 則提出在討論 g0v.london 的價值時，在場的人有提到了openness and open source，大家還有沒有其他想到可以 add to the list
~針對開放性和開源，書漾則是問說，重點只是開放/開源嗎？（我粗糙摘錄的版本，@sylin原話已補在上方）~
不知道大家怎麼想呢？

I've asked Jason Chao if he'll (re)record his talk (we only got the last 1/3)
My phone unfortunately died near the end of Divya talk :/
Sorry, that kinda sucks 🙏🏻 but unlike another speaker who might be giving their first talk ever at a hacknight, I don't think she'll get much value out of our _very_ casual recording with our production value :) so it's maybe not much loss for her. And I suppose it still helps us promote and build momentum to have it in the playlist, even if not complete...!

Great turnout! 20 ppl and 6 pitches!
We have a project that _wasn't_ started by an organiser, but Jane and then Claudia (related to immigration) which is starting to build momentum, and recurring each week 🎉 (I'm trying to support in a way that helps it keep running, but without being overly important to that happening...!)
It's exciting to have recurring projects start to take hold :)

messaged you on Signal
@harrisspinos00 is the one who made the stickers
@james431 once again reminder, all conversations in g0v Slack is automatically backed up to a mirror website to public. I hope share your contact info with that understanding!
Even private messages?
@aelcenganda I did not know that :melting_face:
No, private messages are private
If you feel there should be better ways to inform this reminder, please make a suggestion! (I know the current practices may not be very clear on this information)
I've seen other Slack teams send automated intro message from SlackBot when you first join their instance
Heh oops, I thought it was only specific big channels that were logged
Thanks @james431 ! What are the easy reimbursement methods for you?
Let me ask what are the rules and how the Slack bit works.
@patcon did we add any logging Slack bot in this channel?
Bank account details, PayPal, cash
