@itsmisscs fancy seeing you here

itsmisscs 04:19:22

itsmisscs 04:19:41

tehehe

dzn 04:29:34

hahahaha. Nyan cat!!!

itsmisscs 05:22:22

@darshana Still very much in progress with layout but wanted to give you something to take a look through. If this early of a state isn’t helpful, let me know.

Talk to NYC

Talk to NYC is working to introduce tools that will forge a stronger connection between NYC citizens and city decision makers.

itsmisscs 05:25:22

Mobile/small screen is probably the better view for now.

dzn 05:27:07

It is helpful. I’ll change some of the content wording and ordering to make it work better

dzn 05:27:16

are the pictures stop-gap?

dzn 05:28:36

also, let’s have taking and making a survey match up in layout? maybe flip the picture/text order to add some contrast?

itsmisscs 05:28:51

haven’t added images yet

itsmisscs 05:28:57

i will get to that

dzn 05:29:00

also also, I think the steps to take a survey should go on another page

dzn 05:29:30

I like our usual cyber democracy image for the top one

itsmisscs 05:29:40

not sure if we have credit for that…

itsmisscs 05:29:51

as a public project we can’t use images without permission

itsmisscs 05:30:28

for now, focus on content. i’ll get another version with images and links over to you

dzn 05:30:41

let’s write to artist and maybe he gives up permission?

itsmisscs 05:30:48

go for it 🙂

dzn 05:31:10

cool

itsmisscs 05:31:18

i endorse this plan 👍🏾

dzn 05:32:41

saw the layout suggestions?

dzn 05:32:55

for the taking a survey and making a survey parts?

itsmisscs 05:37:01

i feel like i’ve missed something

itsmisscs 05:37:03

where?

dzn 05:37:45

the taking a survey and making a survey bits look different

dzn 05:37:51

in layout

itsmisscs 05:38:10

i don’t remember but i’m also not done with layout yet 😉

dzn 05:38:11

the second part still undone?

itsmisscs 05:38:13

yes

dzn 05:38:18

ah cool

dzn 05:38:21

that makes sense

itsmisscs 05:38:23

i just wanted to get it to you for content review

dzn 05:39:13

yep

dzn 05:55:52

went through the content and fixed some things

dzn 05:56:30

the changes are *the underlined bold* parts

itsmisscs 07:02:05

awesome.

itsmisscs 07:02:10

there are the tampons mitra ate

itsmisscs 07:02:18

in her vomit

itsmisscs 07:06:13

i am confused about L47…the take a survey portion. you’ll notice that i started to move content that’s linking out to a new pad.

itsmisscs 07:06:41

can you move the take a survey content that you envison on a new page to either a new pad or https://pad.riseup.net/p/take-polis-survey?

itsmisscs 07:06:52

thank you! i will update the prototype accordingly

itsmisscs 07:08:00

if you could do that for the reminder of that page, would be great. i’m not entirely sure i capture the content correctly.

dzn 07:25:32

hey. I’m back

dzn 07:25:45

you mean, take a survey and make a survey instructions??

dzn 07:26:53

L47 in which pad?

itsmisscs 07:29:41

i am having a hard time parsing what goes on the homepage and what’s another page

itsmisscs 07:29:57

so if you could move new page content to another pad or use https://pol.is/createuser, would be helpful

dzn 07:31:48

sure. I’ll spit into home page and the rest

itsmisscs 07:35:06

🙏🏾 danke

dzn 07:35:24

🙂

dzn 07:35:29

home page — https://pad.riseup.net/p/talktonyc-website-homepage

dzn 07:36:15

how does this look?

itsmisscs 07:39:33

👍🏾

itsmisscs 07:40:10

are these all the other pages then: https://pad.riseup.net/p/take-polis-survey?

itsmisscs 07:40:19

seems to be missing privacy

dzn 07:45:54

wait, I’m confused now. don’t each of those sections lead to another page? One for each section? The pad you sent doesn’t have most of the content stuff in there.

dzn 07:46:48

how do you want me to organize content for ease? Each header will have a content page is what I thought

itsmisscs 07:53:43

maybe we can make a site map quickly?

itsmisscs 07:54:03

i moved content out that represents pages into a separate pad because it was hard to distinguish

dzn 07:54:15

site map sounds good

dzn 07:54:49

Also, some of that text can be swapped with the screenshot instructions

itsmisscs 07:55:01

that’s not as advisable

itsmisscs 07:55:11

better to have text for accessibility and search engines

dzn 07:55:11

both text and screenshot instrcutions?

dzn 07:55:15

cool

dzn 07:55:40

also, email to photographer of the NYC pic we like so much…

dzn 07:55:46

Dear Mr. Laforet,

We are huge fans of your work and would like to use one of your night over New York images on our website.

The website is for our non-commercial project, Talk to NYC, through which we are working to forge a stronger connection between NYC citizens and city decision makers by the introduction of participatory democracy tools into NYC governance.

Most happy to point you to the website and share any other details you would like to hear about.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Hoping you will consent to the use of your image.

Thanks!
Talk to NYC team, Darshana and Claudina

itsmisscs 07:57:07

i must take the dog out. i should also consider some food….meh

itsmisscs 07:57:41

car situation is a bummer…probably going to rent a car to get back to nyc for a few days then come back to pick up the car here

dzn 07:57:46

I braved the rain

dzn 07:57:50

mostly for my addiction

dzn 07:57:54

but air was good

dzn 07:58:02

ping when you are back

itsmisscs 07:58:02

not raining here….just very limited options within walking distance

itsmisscs 07:58:22

and now it is getting dark due to my delay…

dzn 07:59:18

saw Erin’s email? The one I sent you??

dzn 07:59:26

Let’s give a talk there?

itsmisscs 08:00:03

itsmisscs 08:00:05

Talk to NYC

Talk to NYC is working to introduce tools that will forge a stronger connection between NYC citizens and city decision makers.

itsmisscs 22:57:07

I can send off all the emails early morning.

itsmisscs 22:57:43

Tried to push through last night and had to get some sleep. Bunch of car errands and needed to take mitra on a long walk.

itsmisscs 22:58:10

Sorry this is delayed 😞 Between not feeling well and pol.is mocks my schedule got pushed out

dzn 23:01:39

Morning! Stand up?

itsmisscs 23:02:11

si si

itsmisscs 23:02:23

will call you from DM channel since we can’t start one here

itsmisscs 23:02:37

we will have to move to another service if other folks want to join standup. bummer

itsmisscs 23:39:26

✅ standup 🙌🏾

itsmisscs 23:49:54

@darshana : a grid like this with each survey. an icon and name…clicking it takes folks to survey page. i say we embed the polis surveys on talkto

dzn 23:50:24

agree!!

@darshana event tonight https://civichall.org/events/reboot-citizen-engagement/

Civic Hall

Reboot: Citizen Engagement | Civic Hall

Reboot Democracy brings together innovators in the technological and political spheres, helps them connect with each other, and supports their development of tools that will revolutionize our democratic system.

itsmisscs 00:20:43

I wish I was in town

dzn 00:21:42

I will go! This is good

dzn 00:29:48

RSVP’ed for the event. We will have the website by then, that will be good!!

dzn 00:30:24

think I should try to get a talk in?

dzn 00:30:31

can’t hurt, right?

itsmisscs 00:48:36

can’t hurt!

itsmisscs 00:50:18

we can def have a solid homepage up. and decent looking interior pages

itsmisscs 01:08:37

@darshana couple things for future

itsmisscs 01:09:08

for screenshots: we need to share a folder, zip, or put them on trello card. it is impossible to pull images from google slides :stuck_out_tongue:

dzn 01:09:41

damn! ok. we will do this differently

itsmisscs 01:09:49

also, i highly highly recommend evernote clip functionality. over mac’s screenshot capture

itsmisscs 01:10:00

i’ll take a couple shots of what i think could work in each of those

dzn 01:10:14

cool! I’ll keep that in mind

itsmisscs 01:10:17

i wish we had more engaging illustrations but we will make due

itsmisscs 01:11:22

all good 🙂 figuring out what tools work best

itsmisscs 01:11:46

also thinking it would be good to have a short blurb under “Understanding the people in order to make more effective decisions.” headline

itsmisscs 01:12:26

something like “From government officials to city planners…”

itsmisscs 01:12:47

state whom the tool is for

itsmisscs 01:13:09

and the more i read those boxes the more i think we could combine the content…there are two for templates that can be combined

dzn 01:18:35

I don’t want to dictate who uses it but get your point for sure

dzn 01:18:39

How about…

dzn 01:18:57

A working nervous system for society. Crowdsourcing information in order to make effective decisions.

dzn 01:19:45

Soon after that they see ‘get started on your own survey’

dzn 01:19:54

between those two points it should be clear

I love “A working nervous system for society” but i don’t like it for copy on a site for people
’

itsmisscs 01:49:42

simple and clear and calling out some people that can benefit from making a survey feels good. we need to be inviting and open to all.

itsmisscs 01:59:29

@darshana can about page also include aims of the project?

itsmisscs 01:59:39

I really like what talkto.tw does

dzn 01:59:47

ah. will look

dzn 02:00:44

I like!!

itsmisscs 02:00:47

for now because we dont’ have another site up, i’ll put in our bios but i’d love to see us move the page more in their direction

dzn 02:00:51

I will put something into that pad

itsmisscs 02:00:56

cool 🙂

dzn 02:01:27

it’s good to have our bios. people will want to know who we are

itsmisscs 02:01:54

emily got back to us

itsmisscs 02:02:13

yup yup agreed…bios should move to the project site and company site eventually though.

itsmisscs 02:02:25

> Hi Darshana,

I was forwarded your request and would love to learn more about what you’re working on!
What is the best way to learn more?

Best,
Emily

dzn 02:02:32

Just saw!

dzn 02:02:54

whats to send? 🤔

dzn 02:03:06

when do you think website will be ready?

itsmisscs 02:03:33

that’s a loaded question. i would not count on it. i’m getting screenshots now so homepage doesn’t look so bare

itsmisscs 02:03:41

but still have lots of work on interior pages.

itsmisscs 02:03:54

i was hoping to reduce that by including steps on homepage 😛

itsmisscs 02:04:42

my intial idea was to have a single page site..scope has kinda grown, but in a good way 🙂

itsmisscs 02:04:57

i would send links to our presentations

itsmisscs 02:05:12

and say our site is launching this week

dzn 02:05:38

sounds good

dzn 02:08:37

I’m going to create a third presentation with bits of our 2. Will do and then send over. I think that will be good

dzn 02:08:51

also, will be nice for them to see a presentation since that is our request

itsmisscs 02:09:00

image for Easy to Use. Open for Everyone?

dzn 02:09:04

*send over to you

dzn 02:10:05

depends. send me what you have in mind for one of the other sections in ‘take a survey’

dzn 02:10:14

I’ll riff off that 🙂

itsmisscs 02:11:45

we dont have many options

itsmisscs 02:13:05

help figuring them out or letting me know what you were thinking in terms of the screenshots you took would be helpful 🙂

itsmisscs 02:13:09

i’m at a loss for most of these tbh

dzn 02:13:14

we can use a pic of pol.is visualization

itsmisscs 02:13:36

yeah i have that

itsmisscs 02:13:38

but there are 6

itsmisscs 02:14:43

i’m going to change it up so the make section uses icons too.

dzn 02:15:58

was looking at talkto.taiwan for inspiration

dzn 02:16:00

thinking

dzn 02:16:01

…

itsmisscs 02:16:19

my thoughts are: 3 images from polis in the take section

itsmisscs 02:16:40

icons in make section and probably switch up formatting to be all in a row instead of stacked

dzn 02:16:49

the first 3 can use pol.is screenshots

dzn 02:16:57

for the make a survey, screenshot won’t really work

dzn 02:17:06

not of pol.is anyway

itsmisscs 02:17:39

ya, exactly why let’s use icons

itsmisscs 02:18:25

eventually the first four can be switched for images with an overlay. it’ll add a bit of depth and humaness to the site

itsmisscs 02:22:14

ooo cute open data icon

itsmisscs 02:31:20

lol buzzword icon collection from Duke uni

dzn 02:36:13

I know!! the open data one is so cute

dzn 02:36:45

check it out?

dzn 02:37:58

if no time, that’s fine. I’ll send away

dzn 02:38:24

It’s just a combination of v-Taiwan stuff from first presentation and our work from the second

dzn 02:38:32

gives them a better picture I think

or holding off?

itsmisscs 02:42:30

*finges crossed* will be great if you can present!!

dzn 02:43:48

send me screenshot and I will add a slide

dzn 02:44:09

dzn 03:08:47

the deck ^^

dzn 03:09:49

I’ve put in a blank slide for where I think it should go

dzn 03:16:49

I’m having some trouble with the aims in the about page. aren’t they the same as the points that we have up on the main page… crowdsourcing, participation etc..

dzn 03:22:23

question for us — what is the difference between g0vNYC and Talk to NYC

dzn 03:22:42

cause actually… g0VNYC is introducing tools and techniques to forge a stronger connection between NYC citizens and city decision makers.

dzn 03:22:51

Talk to NYC is making all of that public

dzn 03:22:56

thoughts??

itsmisscs 03:23:48

g0vnyc is the project

itsmisscs 03:23:57

talk to nyc is one of the tools/techniques

dzn 03:24:49

true

itsmisscs 03:24:52

it’s a bit of a meta platform combing other platforms, like polis…but i see talk to nyc as a combo of a few things

dzn 03:25:13

g0VNYC is introducing tools and techniques to forge a stronger connection between NYC citizens and city decision makers.

dzn 03:25:26

^^ this is more the case no?

itsmisscs 03:25:35

yes

itsmisscs 03:25:39

talk to nyc is a platform

itsmisscs 03:25:46

i had changed that in the hero of talkto.nyc

itsmisscs 03:26:23

> A platform to forge a stronger connections between NYC citizens and city decision makers.

dzn 03:26:37

yeah!!

dzn 03:26:44

that works

dzn 03:27:20

maybe we mention g0vNYC in our about page

that this is part of a larger project

itsmisscs 03:27:30

yes

dzn 03:27:36

talk to nyc is a channel

itsmisscs 03:27:43

yup yup

dzn 03:27:52

cool

dzn 03:27:56

writing the about page

itsmisscs 03:28:12

should i get `g0vnyc.us` for the project url?

itsmisscs 03:28:44

not now, but soon by eow

dzn 03:29:16

that works!!

itsmisscs 03:29:19

i still secretly love `cybersyn.nyc` as project name

itsmisscs 03:29:39

maybe we publish something at cybersyn.nyc one day

dzn 03:29:44

that is giant umbrella — for everything

Yay!!

itsmisscs 04:02:30

Sweet 😄

itsmisscs 04:02:50

Way to rock that 💃🏾

itsmisscs 04:03:06

you have 5 minutes to talk 🤐

itsmisscs 04:03:47

5 very special minutes 🍰

dzn 04:06:51

lol. I just saw this

itsmisscs 04:07:10

haha 😉

dzn 04:07:47

will have to cram much into 5 minutes

dzn 04:07:49

will see

itsmisscs 04:07:55

you can do it

itsmisscs 04:08:14

DC was 1:40 more. 5 minutes is what i did at Eyeo

itsmisscs 04:08:32

short and sweet. i think less about specific and more bang and splash

itsmisscs 04:09:17

can we take a moment to thank twitter hehehe. i saw their tweet this am about the event

itsmisscs 04:10:15

at the end of this we will be 1) pro slide makers; 2) pro short talk givers

itsmisscs 04:11:18

i’m gonna tweet now about it…and tomorrow the first tweet from @talktonyc will be about the event.

dzn 04:12:51

oh my gosh. yeah. I’m so glad you have the twitter channel

dzn 04:13:01

would be sooo hard without it

dzn 04:13:07

🙂

dzn 04:13:15

make it SPLASH

dzn 04:15:23

ok. cig. some food and I’ll come back to the ‘about’ page

itsmisscs 04:17:55

i’m also going to get some food. will be heading out in an hour or so for home

dzn 04:18:17

alright. we re-convene soon

the about page —

https://pad.riseup.net/p/website-about-page

dzn 05:47:45

the aims are redundant but more clearly spelled out

dzn 05:48:44

I looked at talkto.taiwan’s aims. as much as like the idea of having aims, having too many different aims floating around might be too confusing

itsmisscs 06:12:52

what do you think about sea foam green with pink as accent

itsmisscs 06:13:10

lady liberty as the theme

dzn 06:26:14

change everything to sea foam and green?

dzn 06:26:19

the website colors?

dzn 06:26:39

could work

Talk to NYC is working to introduce tools that will forge a stronger connection between NYC citizens and city decision makers.

itsmisscs 06:30:13

it isn’t DONE. The first section of boxes needs spacing work and footer is not done

itsmisscs 06:30:17

but this is the latest content

itsmisscs 06:30:27

and we can discuss

itsmisscs 06:30:33

i think we need some content adjustments

itsmisscs 06:31:38

will need to adjust some of the polis images too

dzn 06:32:21

for content — Humans do what they are good at - read text and express opinions.

You do what they are good at - find patterns and visualize the results

dzn 06:32:26

this needs to be fixed….

dzn 06:32:45

You do what you are good at - read text and express opinions.

Computers do what they are good at - find patterns and visualize the results

itsmisscs 06:33:06

whoops

dzn 06:33:18

🙂

dzn 06:33:35

for color scheme… too much white in the beginning, no?

dzn 06:33:46

light coloring

itsmisscs 06:34:16

redeployed

dzn 06:34:22

for the first bullet points would be nice to have ‘connecting organizations’ on the same line

itsmisscs 06:34:27

yeah, i agree. those boxes need some color

itsmisscs 06:34:38

have not done anything withe design

dzn 06:34:51

content looks good

itsmisscs 06:34:51

well that’s all going to depend on your screen size 😉

itsmisscs 06:34:59

it looks good but i think it can be better

itsmisscs 06:35:05

do you have a chance to talk on the phone?

itsmisscs 06:35:15

i was going to start walking home

dzn 06:35:43

I feel it would be easier to read if ‘Your Personal Opinion is What Counts’ was on right and picture to left

dzn 06:36:19

My attention is drawn to picture first and then moving to the left is not the usual eye movement

itsmisscs 06:36:59

sure sure i can move those easily. those concern me less than content 😛

itsmisscs 06:37:25

i find the content too pol.is centered and not enough on why someone should take the survey

itsmisscs 06:37:38

i like the first two in that section

itsmisscs 06:37:55

i left you some notes on the “Make a survey” section in the etherpad. this is the section i think we can improve a bit

itsmisscs 06:38:24

or maybe we just add two more points so it is a 6 section area

itsmisscs 06:41:03

i think adding a little module that displays some of the surveys people can take will help but i don’t want to add anything until the other pages are done. just tweak and adjust this so we feel good.

itsmisscs 06:41:13

fixed the the content! good call on moving to the right

itsmisscs 06:45:38

i like how each section has a bit of a story. i feel that a short few sentences would help especially in the make section

itsmisscs 06:46:24

Lots of CTA’s driving to sign up. In our case, I feel like “Taking” is the action we want to drive.

dzn 06:48:38

yeah. I think we need to add short motivation lines under the ‘Be heard this election’ and ‘Understand people’ parts

dzn 06:48:46

also, the second is…. A working nervous system for society. Understanding the people in order to make effective decisions.

itsmisscs 06:49:25

personally, i find that it feels tooo above people

itsmisscs 06:49:50

i love it but i doesn’t feel like copy for people

itsmisscs 06:50:29

i also don’t see that translating well into other languages

dzn 06:50:43

yeah. I was thinking about this

itsmisscs 06:51:26

when i think about the makes section i think about the architect i was talking to or nmass….why would these people make a survey…that’s the audience

dzn 06:51:36

it’s not for everyone, it’s for the digitally savvy

dzn 06:51:45

that’s a good question

itsmisscs 06:52:22

like i think we could very well pull out the third party groups we identified, maybe?

dzn 06:52:23

you think this will fix it — adding short motivation lines under the ‘Be heard this election’ and ‘Understand people’ parts?

itsmisscs 06:52:44

Government hear your people; Urban planners connect with neighborhood; Academics …

itsmisscs 06:53:06

i think it will help but i also think we should not shy from finding appeal with certain people and groups

itsmisscs 06:53:47

being specific won’t hurt us. we want people to say “oh, ya, i have that need! i’ll make one” or “i care about this topic, i’ll take a survey”

itsmisscs 06:54:03

we can refine with time too 🙂

itsmisscs 06:54:56

so for now, let’s start with short motivation lines and expand as we go?

dzn 06:55:15

works

dzn 06:55:32

yo. give me 15 min? food arrived and I’m RAVENOUS

itsmisscs 06:55:37

we just need people folks can relate to talking about this tool 😛 time to hit the streets

itsmisscs 06:55:40

ya ya no rush at all

dzn 06:55:42

it will be a mess if I eat and type

itsmisscs 06:55:45

i’m going to start heading home

dzn 06:55:51

burger with egg 🙂

dzn 06:55:53

cool

itsmisscs 06:55:58

which i’m going to walk? i don’t know if this is good or bad idea

itsmisscs 06:56:05

will be about an hour-hour/half for me

dzn 06:56:16

no problemo

dzn 06:56:28

I’ll put together the slides for presentation in the meanwhile

dzn 06:56:33

and we can go over that too

itsmisscs 06:57:15

would love to. super excited 🙂 thanks for emailing them about presenting. i didn’t even notice that bit

itsmisscs 06:57:40

enjoy 🍔 🥚

dzn 06:59:26

🙂 nice nice

dzn 07:00:04

also, you saw the feedback I gave Devin? It could use your website design super eye when you have a sec 🙂

itsmisscs 07:00:24

i’m lurking hehe. i know, but so can our work 😉 😉

dzn 07:01:13

I know!! 🙂 🙂

dzn 07:01:28

you know which one I pick 😉

dzn 07:01:39

always the brat 😄

dzn 07:04:57

maybe for the ‘take a survey part’ we can say something like…

dzn 07:05:07

do you feel like you are screaming into a void?

dzn 07:05:18

do you feel like your protests are not being heard

itsmisscs 07:05:34

i like that angle

itsmisscs 07:05:35

yes

dzn 07:05:48

do you feel exhausted by the 4 hour CB meetings?

itsmisscs 07:05:53

more appeal!

dzn 07:05:54

something like that

dzn 07:06:04

yeah!!

dzn 07:06:18

rousing type stuff

itsmisscs 07:06:29

yup yup

itsmisscs 07:06:51

mkay going to head out. pup and i need to move. she’s been doing so well hanging out my seat

dzn 07:08:19

oh yeah.

dzn 07:08:25

I can see that face

dzn 07:08:31

the pleading face

dzn 07:08:32

lol

dzn 07:08:36

such a cutie

itsmisscs 07:08:40

lol you know it so well now

itsmisscs 07:08:46

she sends her ❤️

dzn 07:08:58

I send mine

dzn 07:09:18

tell her we will share dog cookies to celebrate our reunion

itsmisscs 07:09:35

so many woods here. she was properly tired out this morning.

itsmisscs 07:09:49

and more woods now on our way home. also, there’s no such thing here as “certain off leash hours”

dzn 07:10:07

the good old countryside <sigh>

dzn 07:10:29

I need a beach

dzn 07:10:35

will find a few days to go

itsmisscs 07:10:35

omg that. badly.

dzn 07:10:45

let’s do!!!

dzn 07:10:52

Hagar wants to go too

itsmisscs 07:10:54

nyc beach! it is lovely. i have not gone enough this year. weather is meh

itsmisscs 07:10:58

gay beach!

dzn 07:11:10

yes yes yes

itsmisscs 07:11:11

or riis on the isolated parts

dzn 07:11:22

also, what is your beach resort place?

itsmisscs 07:11:23

both are lovely. gay beach is a show, if you’ve never been

dzn 07:11:31

I like shows 🙂

dzn 07:11:36

never been to this one

itsmisscs 07:11:47

the bathing suit peeping is fab fab

dzn 07:11:47

what’s a beach without a show, I ask

dzn 07:12:00

better and better

itsmisscs 07:12:00

🤔

dzn 07:12:11

the spa place

dzn 07:12:17

in long island?

dzn 07:12:20

montouk??

itsmisscs 07:12:33

oh that’s in montauk

itsmisscs 07:12:42

and too expensive at the moment. we have to wait until after labor day to return

dzn 07:13:04

ah. I can wait

dzn 07:13:20

I don’t go by other people’s holiday schedule now!!

dzn 07:13:25

freeeeedoooom

itsmisscs 07:13:34

isn’t it amazing?!

dzn 07:13:36

dzn 07:13:42

you know it was coming

itsmisscs 07:13:54

i was waxing sentimental about my lack of summer beach only to realize that i beach in the winter hehe

itsmisscs 07:14:06

still…moar beach is always GAY

dzn 07:14:07

yeah. you are lucky

dzn 07:14:15

let’s go!!

dzn 07:14:21

itsmisscs 02:54:46

some ideas. i do like the icons over the hero space especially for digesting the content

itsmisscs 02:55:23

darker-green.png

itsmisscs 02:55:37

itsmisscs 02:55:45

text color would need to change. mostly the idea of having a color backdrop…i kinda like it. more cheery

itsmisscs 02:55:53

itsmisscs 02:56:36

dzn 03:51:40

I think I like the black base

dzn 03:51:49

what did you go with?

itsmisscs 03:52:08

i haven’t put anything in yet…here are some directions…let me know what you think

itsmisscs 03:52:26

colors not finalized…mostly if you like logo direction and layout…menu items in relation to content

itsmisscs 03:52:51

v1.png

itsmisscs 03:53:06

v2.png

itsmisscs 03:53:21

v3.png

itsmisscs 03:53:26

i like the logo on the right.

itsmisscs 03:53:32

v4 direction

itsmisscs 03:53:36

v4.png

itsmisscs 03:54:01

square vs round…whether or not we care about staton island 😉

itsmisscs 03:54:24

maybe not as left justified when it gets to tightening it up…

itsmisscs 03:56:25

Here’s are the main questions:

itsmisscs 03:56:38

1) should we center or left justify the hero text and over icons

itsmisscs 03:57:10

2) round or square logo shape

itsmisscs 04:00:37

v4-aligned-ish.png

itsmisscs 04:01:43

@darshana ^^ opinions? you can detest them all

dzn 04:05:16

in combination I like the green on green

itsmisscs 04:11:50

layout structure?

itsmisscs 04:12:20

center or left justfied? once settled i can adjust the content in the boxes

dzn 04:13:51

left writing and right logo

dzn 04:19:15

hey. the questions we wanted to add were on drugs and what else??

itsmisscs 04:28:12

homelessness, small businesses, youth, prision

itsmisscs 04:28:12

screenshot.png

itsmisscs 04:28:39

we could keep the question about youth that was added by the young person at the event

itsmisscs 04:29:13

more directions/ideas

itsmisscs 04:29:28

smaller less bold logo in line

dzn 04:31:42

the icons and the writing that goes with the icons can be a bit larger

dzn 04:32:22

it’s also easier to have the ‘make survey’ ‘take survey’ etc on the right

dzn 04:32:28

most people are right handed 🙂

dzn 05:16:58

survey questions

dzn 05:17:00

https://pad.riseup.net/p/pol.is-seed-comments

dzn 05:17:16

writing topic and description for the specific one now

itsmisscs 05:17:52

cool. homepage content?

itsmisscs 05:18:07

probably time to go to the event?

dzn 05:19:45

ah. doing now

dzn 05:19:51

I’ll leave here at 6

itsmisscs 05:21:32

k. i will wait for that and put in copy and switch live so there’s something

itsmisscs 05:21:55

will keep shadow working. tomorrow emails first thing…site tweaks next…they will be neverending

dzn 05:31:20

let’s move the entire ‘AI powered surveying tool’ down, mostly as is

just changing the description line to match the rest?

*Be heard this election. Contribute your opinions in a meaningful way.*

If you feel like you should get a say in the decisions your city makes
feel like you are screaming into a void and would like to be heard
feel like you have opinions and knowledge that could benefit your community...

dzn 06:02:15

something like that

dzn 06:02:30

itsmisscs 06:06:59

yeah better not to be late…we can them out…

itsmisscs 06:08:15

i’m too close to it at the moment for any more design work stuff. i need to just do the things that have clear path to completion, like fix bugs and stuff. sadly, i gotta stop futzing design. it will do until fresh eye. the new content helps. not sure how best to put it in though. it’s a lot in one space ^^

dzn 06:26:32

Doesn't look like too much text

dzn 06:27:29

Someone from NMASS is coming for the talk. I just randomly mentioned and this person is coming. David.

A Constitutional Convention for New York - Yes or No?

On November 7 this year, every New Yorker will be asked to vote “yes” or “no” on a Constitutional Convention to amend the New York State Constitution. The current New York State Constitution was largely written in 1894 with substantive changes made in 1938. Past constitutional conventions made New York a leader in national policy: the 1894 Convention lay the foundation for the national park system; the 1938 Convention introduced provisions to care for the needy and protect workers’ right to organize, paving the way for the federal New Deal reforms. "Yes" vote supporters argue that the Constitutional Convention would allow New Yorkers to take back our government from entrenched lobbyists and special interests. "No" vote supporters argue that the politicians, lobbyists and special interest groups will hijack a Constitutional Convention, and game the system for themselves.This special event, sponsored by Civic Hall, is intended to give the civic tech community the background to decide for ourselves. Thank you to our Co-Sponsors: Citizens Union, NYSaysYes PROGRAM 6:00pm - 6:45pm: Meet and greet 6:45pm - 8:00pm: Welcome - Micah Sifry, Civic Hall @Mlsif Presentation - Facts about the Constitutional Convention - Priscilla Grim, Citizens Union @PriscillaGrim Panelists: NYS Senator Gustavo Rivera @NYSenatorRivera Art Chang, Sanctuary State @achangnyc Kate Albright-Hanna, New York People's Convention @kateah Moderator: Ben Max, Gotham Gazette @TweetBenMax Audience Q&A Arrival Note: Civic Hall is located at 118 West 22nd Street, 12th Floor. When you arrive, please buzz 12A to enter the building.

Is the Queer Brigade Fighting ISIS in Syria a Force for Liberation or Alienation?

Leftist foreign fighters are drawn to Rojava in Kurdish Syria for its radical democratic politics and gender equality. But LGBTQ rights have a ways to go.

@darshana ++ overall. looks good. i’m still on the fence about ```I feel safe in my community during the day.

I feel safe in my community at night.```

itsmisscs 04:10:58

left a note in the pad about them. otherwise ++

dzn 04:11:07

cool

dzn 04:11:29

question — when I convert something in checklist to card where do they go

dzn 04:11:38

disappeared 🤔

dzn 04:14:26

for the safety one — let’s leave the safety one? Can’t tell what that will end up being across district or if many people answer the survey

dzn 04:14:50

also, we can look at %agreed etc per question and get a list of majority responses

dzn 04:23:09

found the cards. I just hadn’t refreshed 🙂

itsmisscs 04:25:37

what’s our intent with safety questions as a data point?

itsmisscs 04:26:29

itsmisscs 04:29:50

dispelling myths ++

I think we should have something there

thanks!!

itsmisscs 04:38:48

np. sooo

itsmisscs 04:40:43

all these email tracking tools are only going to work inside gmail or outlook. grrr google getting access to our mail

itsmisscs 04:48:05

shooot. gotta go feed the meter. back online shortly

itsmisscs 04:48:46

this little mediterranian cafe surprised me with great wifi access. ended up staying here and working on their porch.

dzn 04:52:02

itsmisscs 05:19:32

god. you’re telling

dzn 06:00:25

my index finger hurts

dzn 06:00:30

BUT…. all done

dzn 06:01:00

will look at email template (saw you were editing)

dzn 06:01:04

then going for yoga

itsmisscs 06:01:18

i’m done with those. i’m just figuring out our tracking solution

itsmisscs 06:02:15

of course tracking only works with the big players.

itsmisscs 06:05:08

it seems like the easiest way to have tracking that we can both access will be to create a generic google account for hi@talkto.nyc (which if fine since we need youtube); integrate yesware on that account; individually we can setup email how we like, but if we want to track anything we will need to use gmail interface

itsmisscs 06:05:58

or we use outlook as our shell 😛 Microsoft NY is following me. According to their twitter bio they are all about civic tech and supporting initiatives

dzn 06:15:13

works for me. ‘tis your forte

dzn 06:15:32

in the email, what did you want to write after ‘and most recently’?

dzn 06:15:40

trailed off there

itsmisscs 06:24:00

looking…

itsmisscs 06:26:23

@darshana i’m in the pad…which line number?

itsmisscs 07:30:21

it has been nice having a focus/initiative per week. so satisfactory to have a key focus.

itsmisscs 07:30:50

perhaps we can use monday sprint planning/retro to set them

itsmisscs 07:31:16

don’t work too late tonight after yoga 😉 just answer my question about which email address to use 🙂

itsmisscs 07:31:44

we should email the talktonyc@gmail.com acccount. from hi@talkto.nyc. maybe it’s a friend that wants to join our efforts!

dzn 09:42:11

Hahahaha. I like the idea of emailing the gmail from ours.

dzn 09:42:26

Off to meet Erin for a quick nightcap. Then home

dzn 09:43:21

I think we should email from hi@ and one of our compositecollective (whoever is sending)

dzn 09:43:48

send me latest website version. Want to see :)

dzn 09:44:11

Also, give me green and I can start emailing. You should do the twitter,

itsmisscs 09:48:11

From our stalker gmail account, we can add additional “Send as Mail” accounts, but we can’t have multiple accounts sending an email. It will all come from `hi@` and then we can cc other email addresses

itsmisscs 09:49:32

I think from `hi@` is good. Let’s craft an email signature that includes a mention of compositescollective?

itsmisscs 09:50:06

Or just leave it out of the question and have it come from `hi@` and let the website do the talking. This may be less confusing than seeing multiple email addresses.

won’t send you to social media

itsmisscs 02:17:38

i am working on tracking. have it setup. it works. however, our emails from talkto.nyc appear unverified by gmail. so i’m trying to fix that

itsmisscs 02:26:47

phew. so unverified happens with or without tracking. i was afraid it was a tracking thing. so that makes me less worried about sending stuff with it today, but definitely must get fixed

itsmisscs 02:27:27

getting support on svg issue with the server. hopefully don’t have to switch..but thankfully this issue does have a known solve.

itsmisscs 02:27:32

i’m opening a support ticket for email

itsmisscs 02:28:35

ooo a not for sale survey

dzn 02:29:50

tracking all set then? 🙂

https://pad.riseup.net/p/correspondence-templates-candidate_forums

the email is looong, bolding is not ideal but necessary in this case I think

itsmisscs 02:48:37

looking

itsmisscs 02:49:03

it is set, as it it tracks…but you’ll se…i will send you two emails. i wonder if you will notice the issue. you can be the test 🙂

itsmisscs 02:49:17

i have opened a support issue for email too. it isn’t a blocker though

itsmisscs 02:51:09

mkay. open your emails and let me know if you notice the issue

itsmisscs 02:53:40

i like the email

itsmisscs 02:54:56

i don’t think we need bold stuff

dzn 03:34:16

open which email

dzn 03:34:20

cool. no bols

dzn 03:34:22

bold

dzn 03:34:27

it’s really long though

dzn 03:34:37

people get scared off by long emails

itsmisscs 03:44:41

if i take out anything, i’d take out the about on pol.is

itsmisscs 03:45:04

that is all stuff that we could link to pages on the site…kinda make it more about we can help you get voices of the people represented

itsmisscs 03:45:14

but i read it a few times and also wasn’t sure what to take out

itsmisscs 03:45:27

i sent a similarly long email for conference sponsorship. went okay

itsmisscs 03:45:31

got 25k from it

itsmisscs 03:45:43

we can try other avenues

itsmisscs 03:46:00

so i am going to do a few things i hate, namely push code to master branch to get backup hosting configured

itsmisscs 03:49:00

@darshana oh one things we still need. we never picked icons for the make section

itsmisscs 03:49:19

currently they are all the same. mind taking first stab on noun project?

dzn 03:49:24

will do

itsmisscs 03:51:13

so many things with this site…next time, we will start as i usually like with content templates and more site architecture. it sorta blew up from mvp.

We can use markdown in the poli.is description field for formatting. Personally, I’m not a bit fan of the caps. It feels like we are yelling at folks. ex. https://pol.is/4ybxxjj8uf

District 21 Candidate Forum

NYC Campaign Finance Board is organizing nonpartisan forums in which candidates can address the issues that matter to community members. This survey is designed to inform candidates of NYC Council District 21 of the issues that matter to District 21 community members.

itsmisscs 00:42:47

Fixed the descriptions for now. Adding a card to improve them.

itsmisscs 01:02:12

I can make any layout/structure change. Feel free to make any copy changes. Everything is currently on `master` branch. this is only time in history of times i’ll say make edits there lol

itsmisscs 03:27:48

@darshana i’m in the canddiate forum contact spreadsheet. league of women voters has two email addresses. one is the pres which i’m tempted to send to but the contact person listed seems to correspond to office.

itsmisscs 03:27:59

send to office@ or president@?

itsmisscs 03:28:08

we could do office for now…if not bites by tomorrow, president

dzn 03:28:18

let’s send to office

dzn 03:28:27

she explicitly says to contact her office

dzn 03:28:31

on her website

itsmisscs 03:28:36

ah k!

itsmisscs 03:28:49

ty

itsmisscs 04:09:04

@darshana did you add the general survey to talk to account? I don’t see but want to make sure

itsmisscs 04:11:22

okay. i need to fold my laundry. i’m standing by. text me though. closing computer.

dzn 04:20:32

General survey?

dzn 04:20:44

Each district has one

dzn 04:20:58

But did not make a general general one

dzn 04:21:03

Can do that

itsmisscs 06:03:37

whoops i got confused.

itsmisscs 06:03:50

i think housing is our general one and if we can make on about public transit it would be great.

itsmisscs 06:04:13

those are such hot topics. you are right about not having a general one…we lack zip codes. though now we can action up that project

dzn 06:55:15

The housing is an issue based one. Which is how we described specific surveys

dzn 06:55:30

We'll make one on transportation

dzn 06:57:53

I thought maybe more of a template that people can plug and use as their district one. But that might get to complicated

dzn 06:58:03

Let's do the transportation one next

dzn 04:25:30

cool

dzn 04:25:32

send away

dzn 04:25:43

no luck on the phone calls sending emails

dzn 04:26:09

for the emails to the candidates, I am going to send 2. One with the pol.is, One asking for a soundbite

dzn 04:26:21

don’t want to combine in one since it will get lost

itsmisscs 04:28:47

i think two is too much, no?

itsmisscs 04:29:22

maybe the email can be about the soundbite and then also add a bit about polis? like…hey, we want to interview you about participatory xx

itsmisscs 04:29:29

two feels spammy

itsmisscs 04:30:51

https://pad.riseup.net/p/second-touch-opened

itsmisscs 04:31:06

one for those that opened and the one at the bottom is for those that did not open the email

itsmisscs 04:32:05

i fucking love social media…someone from city limits news is engaging with our twitter account!!

dzn 04:38:02

yeah. maybe 2 is too much. In that case, let’s ask for sound bite and get to the rest when they bite

itsmisscs 04:42:05

i think you can mention survey but have the focus be the sound bite

itsmisscs 04:46:37

aHHHH

itsmisscs 04:46:39

We met at the District 2 forum, we are the ladies who were conducting the online survey to crowdsource key issues from citizens (the one you tried out on the ipad). We’ve expanded our initiatives and it’s been working very well — interest from multiple council candidates and civic tech organizations. It would be great to get the survey to more citizens. Would love to meet with your organization to collaborate and cast a wider net to reach people. We really appreciate the work you are doing would really like to aid your efforts by enabling direct and mass participation from citizen 🙂

Below is more information on us, the media platform we set up for spreading this work and details of the surveying tool you saw.

dzn 11:02:55

the san jose conference sounds cool. shame that it is at the same time as Taipei one

dzn 11:04:15

also… we should conduct VR interviews!!

dzn 11:04:19

will be cool to experiment

itsmisscs 11:23:59

i’d love to. i don’t know much about VR. in time for taiwan, it feels like a stretch.

Represent NYC | Manhattan Neighborhood Network

"Represent NYC" is a weekly program produced by Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN) that gives local elected officials and candidates the chance to update voters about the issues shaping the future of the city, and how they'll deliver on campaign promises.

itsmisscs 21:24:12

MNN feels like a natural partner for the project…an extension of thei rwork

itsmisscs 21:26:27

Interestingly, one cannot find the archives of the debates

itsmisscs 21:26:38

Or at least I cannot. And the Twitter links go to a live feed

itsmisscs 21:42:24

Attended to some of the emails. Need to decide about Pedro Carilllo. That’s really early rise for you for an interview. I don’t mind doing it but it would best together. Monday next week?

itsmisscs 21:42:36

That still gives time before the debate at LES Girls center

itsmisscs 21:43:12

I would like to spend a little time today going over the sprint and aligning goals for next weeks before Taiwan. Feel we need to make some decisions based on the data/feedback we are getting from our initial attempts.

itsmisscs 21:43:38

do we have a lunch spot planned?

dzn 22:10:29

Hey. I responded before I saw this. Let’s just do 9:15. I think she can only do early times anyway.

dzn 22:10:54

I emailed Danielle asking about spot

dzn 22:11:34

Yeah! Let’s align and plan soon after lunch

dzn 22:12:01

I like the email you sent MNN

dzn 22:12:05

hopefully they bite

dzn 22:13:06

Also, let’s get premiere today and start playing around with videos

itsmisscs 22:13:23

we an both DL it. free trial for a month

itsmisscs 22:14:48

where are we having lunch?

dzn 22:15:08

not for Taiwan

dzn 22:15:15

that would be a rush

itsmisscs 03:20:22

great idea! ty

dzn 03:32:26

in terms of video format it looks like the best for editing is quicktime (the Mac equivalent of AVI, MOV) and the best for uploading onto youtube etc. is h.264

dzn 03:32:40

https://crookedpathfilms.com/adobe-premiere-pro-what-are-the-best-export-settings/

crookedpathfilms.com

Adobe Premiere Pro: What are the best export settings? | Crooked Path Films

dzn 03:33:47

so let’s export and save the clips in the quicktime format (uncompressed) and then after all the editing is done, convert to h.264 and upload

dzn 03:34:19

looks like quicktime is the default for premiere on a Mac so no need to change anything

dzn 03:34:36

just check to make sure when you are exporting and saving the clips

dzn 03:34:59

also, in my experience, don’t do all of the clips and then export a giant batch.

dzn 03:35:18

do it in small batches of 3-5 depending on the size

dzn 03:35:39

premiere media encoder sometimes crashes when the list is too long and everything is lost

dzn 03:36:16

maybe that will not happen on the latest version and a better computer but best to be safe

dzn 04:07:00

also, will you rename the main videos as you go through them

dzn 04:07:38

e.g. CR-int-072517-part1

dzn 04:08:27

I’ve been using short forms for the names. Otherwise name gets too long and you can’t get a sense of clip description

itsmisscs 04:20:48

thanks for all this info. i have been tied up on Nema’s project, but I will aim to have clips done for tomorrow.

```Talk to NYC (talkto.nyc) is a multi-technology media platform that introduces tools and techniques to forge a stronger connection between NYC citizens and city decision makers. We're building the platform as part of a larger four-year initiative to bring more participatory techniques and candidates to NYC. Our focus is the district level—city council, community boards, citizens.

We believe that many of the tools and processes can be adopted within community boards to make them more efficient conduits for citizen feedback. We'd love to chat with you about your experience as Chair and a member of your local community board. We can also show you some of the tools we are considering and get your feedback on how you think they would/wouldn't benefit the community board.

Let me know if you have an hour to meet in the upcoming weeks. We are available until Sept 8th. ```

itsmisscs 00:40:14

just see your last reply to meet thursday 🙂

itsmisscs 00:49:28

thanks for feedback re email. sending

itsmisscs 00:51:33

the one advantage to interviewing patrick is that he’s in district 5, ben kallos district

itsmisscs 00:51:43

the civic tech folks keep mentioning him as a potential partner

itsmisscs 00:51:56

the disadvantage is that it is one more thing on our todo list

itsmisscs 00:53:01

other advantage is it gives us a district that includes part of harlem (plus for something like laundromat project)

dzn 00:58:11

since it’s not tied to the election, we could interview him after Taiwan

dzn 09:16:25

also, youtube video, private or public?

itsmisscs 09:18:29

public

itsmisscs 09:18:33

> We had a fantastic afternoon interviewing @marysilvernyc about her @NYCCouncil campaign, education, seniors, and innovating local government

itsmisscs 09:18:41

that okay?

dzn 09:19:37

yes!!

dzn 09:20:03

chatting with instead of interviewing?

dzn 09:20:19

afternoon discussion??

dzn 09:20:31

ours is not so much an interview as a chat or discussion

itsmisscs 09:26:32

whoops sent

itsmisscs 09:26:38

i had chatting first…damn

dzn 09:34:49

no problem!!

itsmisscs 07:01:07

i just noticed that premiere has a new beta option called team project! could be just what we need for joint editing

itsmisscs 07:15:32

@darshana videos from city hall look good!! i will take time this weekend to learn the camera and set up presets so we can manual focus. some good stuff. it is uploading to spider oak

dzn 09:37:59

Excellent!! They also have a lot of preset options for upload etc. The new version is pretty neat!

dzn 09:38:29

Yeah. Will be good to figure out the camera

dzn 09:39:11

I'll keep clipping. My aim is to have videos done by the end of the weekend. Then we can get moving on the Taiwan stuff.

itsmisscs 10:06:19

Let’s sync up tomorrow on videos. Think it would be good to sync on filming and editing styles.

dzn 11:50:07

sounds good

dzn 11:50:49

Will you take a look at the vNYC update edits I made and the material for Michelle (both links in trello cards)

dzn 11:50:54

then we send out

dzn 11:51:14

also, I’m going to bug marte and aaron for Friday interview times

dzn 11:51:24

would be great to wrap up this week

dzn 11:51:59

had a lot of fun chatting with your mum 🙂

dzn 11:52:03

she is so sharp

dzn 12:10:22

lol. peer pressure worked like a charm on Marte. He wants to meet on Friday. 2 down.. Aaron left.

itsmisscs 19:53:31

lol

itsmisscs 19:54:55

I’d like to make a request that we limit the number of events next week and overall try to keep a couple days a week that are meeting free.

itsmisscs 19:55:59

some weeks will be inevitably full of meetings but the more we can stack a day full, the better.

itsmisscs 20:11:44

@darshana could we possibly meet with marte tomorrow morning before our meeting with ellen?

itsmisscs 20:12:19

or rebook ellen for next week?

dzn 21:04:12

Yeah. Next week should be totally free. We need to get everything together for the conference

dzn 21:06:13

Rebooking Ellen is fine with me. Let's do marte on Friday though. Having to travel around all the time is killing too much time for me. I would rather do all the interviews in one day.

1

dzn 21:16:00

email to Mary looks great

itsmisscs 22:15:20

yeah, i hear you on traveling for interviews. my feedback for next round is to have set days a week were we hold them and allow people to sign up. that way we don’t have to run around every day of the week.

itsmisscs 22:50:29

@darshana i’m getting flights. thankfully the price has remained the same.

itsmisscs 22:50:34

do we want to attend the event on the 10th?

dzn 22:50:59

the chinese open government one?

itsmisscs 22:51:04

it’s the state of g0v project. in chinese with english translation of key parts

itsmisscs 22:51:05

erm…this one `Taiwan Open Gov.Observation Report Release`

itsmisscs 22:53:22

i’m say yes

dzn 22:54:25

yeah. That’s the one I meant

dzn 22:54:28

yes!

itsmisscs 22:54:33

wow i love this site! so much less variability

itsmisscs 22:54:38

we can return on 24th 🙂

itsmisscs 22:54:43

without a price shift!!

itsmisscs 22:54:54

would allow us to be back for the class

dzn 23:02:54

oh cool!!

dzn 23:03:02

I emailed the class instructor though

dzn 23:03:09

buy tickets

dzn 23:03:15

let’s attend class if we can

dzn 23:03:19

call?

itsmisscs 23:05:11

yea

dzn 01:32:19

hey. in korean place now

dzn 01:32:26

back online

dzn 01:32:36

had an excellent chat with friend

dzn 01:32:43

she is super interested in our stuff

dzn 01:33:19

a friend from princeton and pymetrics

dzn 01:33:22

data scientist

dzn 01:33:26

is working at http://applecart.co/

dzn 01:34:19

works with super pacs and creates candidate ideology models for them based on candidates poll and voting history

itsmisscs 01:44:21

ooooooooOOOOOooooo

itsmisscs 01:44:33

noice. sounds like a great chat!

dzn 01:49:37

It was! I’ll meet her after taiwan and show her all our stuff

dzn 01:50:33

she wants to find ways to help

dzn 01:50:52

sending the michelle email now

dzn 01:51:19

is the vNYC update all set as well?

dzn 01:51:37

I see it in the done column but no edits

itsmisscs 01:54:54

I did send it out

thebestsophist 01:54:58

@thebestsophist has joined the channel

1

itsmisscs 01:56:06

@darshana i read through your suggestions and was ++. Just adjusted formatting when I made the post 🙂

dzn 01:56:47

where did you post? don’t see

itsmisscs 01:57:15

also, we cannot return on 24th 😞 There is a price shift. Unless we go the Bejing route. We can both be in the country for 24hrs “change over visa”

itsmisscs 01:57:23

@darshana #vnyc room

itsmisscs 01:58:04

I’d rather just go the United Airlines route as tempting as it is to see Bejing.

dzn 01:59:24

let’s just return the earliest date after

dzn 01:59:38

I think pushing for this class now might be a stretch

itsmisscs 01:59:50

yeah i think so too

itsmisscs 01:59:53

25th

dzn 02:00:02

cool

itsmisscs 02:00:03

we get back in the evening. gives us a full weekend too.

dzn 02:00:15

🙂

itsmisscs 02:00:16

videos are almost almost uploaded

itsmisscs 02:00:17

whew

dzn 02:00:18

nice

dzn 02:00:26

I just saw the update

dzn 02:00:36

lol. I had left the vNYC channel

dzn 02:00:42

don’t know how that happened

itsmisscs 02:00:44

😂

dzn 02:00:50

back on now

itsmisscs 02:00:57

🗽

dzn 02:01:17

poor Liz. She sent the message about proghack night and my response was to leave channel

dzn 02:01:28

😱

itsmisscs 02:01:29

lmao

itsmisscs 02:02:25

taiwan.png

itsmisscs 02:27:32

We can rest, enjoy a lazy morning and head to the g0v recap event 😄

dzn 02:36:02

@thebestsophist The conference looks sooo good

dzn 02:36:09

we will have to join you the next time!!

dzn 02:36:30

@itsmisscs it’s happening!!!!!! 😱😱😱

dzn 02:36:42

Thanks for getting tickets 🙂

itsmisscs 02:37:29

np 😄 weeeeeeeeee!!!

dzn 02:38:06

talk to NYC team calendar should have the conference @thebestsophist went to, on there!!

dzn 02:38:13

super up our alley

itsmisscs 02:38:15

yes! it looks sooo good

itsmisscs 02:38:31

Let’s put it on the candidate forum (rename to grants/confs)

thebestsophist 02:39:01

omg that trip is so exciting!

itsmisscs 02:39:31

it’s the bee’s knees!!

dzn 02:50:26

so excited!!!

dzn 02:50:55

@itsmisscs I added some content into the survey markdown files for Sanchez and Mary Surveys

dzn 02:51:06

so they have some description on the landing page

itsmisscs 02:51:21

cool. you cool if i setup your computer after our chat so you can also deploy?

itsmisscs 02:51:41

it should not take more than 30 minutes to get it up and running and have you make your first deployment 🙂

itsmisscs 02:51:47

if urgent, i will deploy now

dzn 02:52:00

not urgent

dzn 02:52:18

It would be nice to be able to deploy!!

itsmisscs 02:52:43

excellent. i agree. spread all power

itsmisscs 03:09:48

@darshana i’m heading out. text you when i get off the F

dzn 03:10:21

you’ll get there super early

dzn 03:10:26

what time?

dzn 03:10:28

I can leave too

dzn 03:10:42

then we can write a few notes for the meeting, which is what I am doing now

dzn 03:11:22

https://pad.riseup.net/p/civicist-meeting-notes

itsmisscs 03:12:51

it’s cool. i will head to coffee shop or just work out of civic hall for a bit.

itsmisscs 03:13:08

rather just be there/in the area. plus trains….

itsmisscs 03:13:22

find you there/in the area

itsmisscs 03:13:24

take your time

dzn 09:16:38

hey

dzn 09:16:53

did you tweet at Aaron from District 1

dzn 09:16:54

?

dzn 22:47:50

hey. I left my phone at home but up for quick standup at 11

itsmisscs 22:56:12

ah no worries

itsmisscs 22:56:13

yup

itsmisscs 22:56:34

i had texted to ask if we could spend a little time during standup to make sure all the tasks we want to accomplish pre taiwan are in sprint column

itsmisscs 23:00:38

standup 🙌🏾

itsmisscs 23:01:44

@darshana we probably want to figure out another standup option since slack only let’s us do 1:1

itsmisscs 23:17:18

really annoying that slack only lets you have channel call for paid accounts. in this way, discourse is much better

dzn 23:33:18

I don’t know interesting it will be for people to step in for our stand-up as it goes now. Its so nuts and bolts planning.

dzn 23:33:59

we should start holding those office hours that might be a good place for people who are not directly involved in the everyday to stop by

dzn 23:34:08

in-person or video

itsmisscs 23:40:51

I think it is important to move to a place where folks can join in on standup

itsmisscs 23:41:05

Part of being open and expanding the team

itsmisscs 23:41:09

but yes, office hours ++

dzn 23:43:44

I’m totally open to people coming by for stand-up, we should just let them know in advance that it will be all trees and very little forrest
