Hi folks. I need a description for the session ASAP. I've written the below (using some text from Liz's Civicist article) as a place holder and for internal use of the organizers to hold a spot for us.
dzn 13:14:43
@devin you’ll have it tomorrow. promise

devin 02:03:47
Great thx
dzn 07:46:55
works?
dzn 07:46:59
let us know
devin 07:53:37
Yes I like it. I'd recommend making the title and first paragraph more specific so it stick better in people's heads.
devin 07:54:24
I bet there'll be a lot of general sounding stuff so best to stand out imho.
dzn 09:19:36
Will do. Thanks! We'll change around and let you know

I like it. My recommended edit to title and summary is here below. Happy to post whatever you like:
devin 07:41:46
Title: Open source as a framework for building high performing healthy organizations and vibrant democracies
Taiwanese society has leveraged open source tools and methodologies to implement transparency, participation, and collaboration, across, within and between government and civil society. The open collaboration across all sections of Taiwan society has resulted in the development of impressive open source tools, processes for civic participation, new media infrastructure and online democracy. Taiwan’s experiments in enacting a responsible, deliberative, direct democracy offer a positive and practical vision for the future of government.
Drawing from Taiwan’s experiments, we will explore ways in which the spirit of open source can be used to build organizations of openness and transparency, collaboration, trust, self-organization and distributed responsibility.

Hey everyone, I got invited into this channel by @patcon. Gonna do some reading up on what you're doing, but I'm from a municipalist movement here in Toronto called Our Toronto. We're super eager to connect with others doing stuff similar to vTaiwan or Barcelona En Comu

hey vNYC, i'm looking into an easy/fun geographic survey to send out to the #general-en channel to find out more of where people in this channel are in terms of where to hold a training. Either that or we could make it simpler "For a facilitator training in 2018, would you potentially be able to travel to:
a. Toronto
b. New York City
c. other ____________
Please share any decision-making factors regarding potential travel here _______________"
survey would be super useful. also, lets start talking about how to get money for this!!
super super excited to get this piece going 🙂 🙂

before trying to run the moore sting, Jaime spent months going to journalism+tech meetups in NY and DC
thebestsophist 2017-11-30 23:56:30
and they went far enough afield to make me suspect that they looked at the civic tech and women in tech spaces in both cities
interesting. thx cordelia!

related: i always thought conservatives were likely to fail the _ideological turing test_, but she apparently passed... http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/06/the_ideological.html

tl;dr. the test is a suggestion that two competing ideologies can be judged against one another based on whether followers of one can understand the other well enough to simulate them -- they have a theory of mind for the opposing ideology that is not distorted, ie they understand the other side enough to mimic it, but still reject it based on that full, unbiased understanding.
