how many can you host
Just @lizbarry and me in-person on Friday I think. Also @katehnicholson
I didn’t do any asking about the baby.
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.

So the meeting location tomorrow is indeed my office - 134 Spring St #302
Three folks will be joining:
Pablo from https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1072579966175282 who is helping to organize http://fearlesscities.nyc/
Nathan Storey from the Mayor's Office
and Matt Cropp from the platformcoop and general coop movements - http://www.coopwatercooler.com/matthew-cropp/
I told all them to arrive at 3pm
Great! I will leave Union Square to head in at 2:15, will be there just before 3
Looks like we'll need an agenda
If we have new people dropping in, let's do intros for 15 minutes
Devin can you let your team know this is a worksession
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
- 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
Our style guide for the video is Christina Xi's Kickstarter for China youth ethnography
She spent time advising us at last Friday's meeting, and we need to implement
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

yes, let's add "how we're collaborating" to the agenda
thx

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.

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.
Great list. Thanks Nathan. Would you like to help us manage outreach?
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?
Hi @nathan.p.storey Awesome that you can help with outreach. Thanks!!
We should have the invites out in the next week or so I think
This is fantastic. Thank you for putting this together.
2018-04-27
My meeting with Senator Rivera tomorrow was "postponed" so I'm free to work with ya'll tomorrow if that's helpful.
oh cool!
I’ll get to orbital at 2:30-3PM.
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.
@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.
Perfect. Let me know who you want me to contact and I’ll send them the info next week.
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.
