itsmisscs 00:41:43
Almost done with Spanish translation of our survey
itsmisscs 00:51:48
ping @darshana can yo clarify what we are trying to say in this question
itsmisscs 00:51:54
> People in this community are also at the mercy of predatory landlords and the threshold for rent-regulation is too low
itsmisscs 00:52:13
specifically the rent regulation threshold
dzn 00:52:21
that is the statement that carlina submitted
itsmisscs 00:52:28
ah!
dzn 00:52:36
should have been two statements I think
itsmisscs 00:52:39
yup!
itsmisscs 00:52:42
we are making it two in spanish
dzn 00:52:53
sounds good
dzn 00:53:15
actually, leave it as one in soanish too
dzn 00:53:19
spanish too
itsmisscs 00:53:20
still doesn’t make sense…threshold for rent regulation is too low
dzn 00:53:30
will be easier to match up the 2 results
itsmisscs 00:53:50
it is too complicated to put them both together in spanish
dzn 00:54:11
then let’s split it in the english one too
itsmisscs 00:54:23
this is a confusing quetion
itsmisscs 00:54:41
we can split but i still dont’ understand what she is trying to say in the second part
dzn 00:54:46
that will come out in the pass statements
dzn 00:54:50
I don’t either
dzn 00:54:57
don’t want to translate for her
dzn 00:55:09
translate as in interpret
itsmisscs 00:55:12
we don’t have a lot of responses on it
itsmisscs 00:55:17
let’s reject and split out into just the first part
dzn 00:55:19
if people don’t understand it they will pass
dzn 00:55:23
yep!
dzn 00:55:28
that is best I think
dzn 00:55:35
split into 2 statements for both
itsmisscs 00:55:48
done
itsmisscs 00:55:54
i split out the first part only
itsmisscs 00:57:59
ugh annoying more polis errors
dzn 01:19:49
ugh 😕

itsmisscs 10:51:45
Madrid has some neat processes, a mix of off-line and on-line: 1) They mail out ballots to vote on the top ideas; 2) They setup tables in popular area of the cities during the voting periods; 3) People can go into their district office to vote; 4) voting online
itsmisscs 10:52:17
the online system is supplemented with various offline forms and traditional mediums
itsmisscs 10:52:33
they also have a set voting time (~1 week).
itsmisscs 10:53:06
there’s is a mix of PB + vTaiwan, more PB in a way…“‘where should money be spent?” type questions
itsmisscs 11:13:19
litecoin at 87$ whoa!

dzn 00:21:47
^^ 2 new events that came in. I just registered
itsmisscs 00:57:01
I'm feeling better ish. Enough so that I'm able to keep my head up and work today. Sending mom and mitra off and then crawling into bed with computer. I don't wanna push it though. Took my mom to museum yesterday and started feeling really bad: chills, headache, congested. I'm pushing vitamin c as if it were the best drug ever and letting my body sleep when it wants to.
itsmisscs 00:57:45
But yes on flier. Got a bit of it started but was rather useless Friday and Saturday
dzn 01:06:19

itsmisscs 04:31:06

dzn 04:31:30

Eventbrite

Creative workshop: solutions for the biggest challenges of civic tech

Creative workshop: finding solutions together for the biggest challenges of civic tech This a Civic Tech Fest side event. Remember to check out the whole festival, lots of cool event during the whole week.  Civic tech is still a fairly new practice, even though we all work in different socio economical and political local contexts it seems the challenges we face are similar. Be it scaling to reach more people, making accessible to every one or even sometimes just having impact on the decision that is taken, those challenges are numerous. That's why we wanted to take advantage of the global gathering that is the Civic Tech Fest to organize a creative workshop to identify those challenges and work on solutions together. Help us identify those challenges by participating in this <http://pol.is|pol.is> conversation : <https://pol.is/2bf7vrrmnbThe> event format is Barcamp which is an open, participatory workshop-event, the content of which is provided by participants. We will split up in small interdisciplinary groups and make the best use of design thinking pratices to make sure we are able to work on prototype solutions and pitch results at the end of the event.

dzn 05:03:37

POLITICO

POLITICO 50 - Our annual list for 2017.

50 ideas blowing up American politics – and the people behind them.

dzn 03:18:13
^^ I like this format for our idea’s page
dzn 03:18:46
we can group them some other way (but category of idea or something but pretty neat)
dzn 03:20:11
for the candidates it can be set up this way
itsmisscs 03:20:16
yes i got the reply
dzn 03:20:25
and as we feature more ideas we can rethink
itsmisscs 03:20:30
finishing up my current task or my brain goes nuts with context switches
itsmisscs 03:20:38
almost done with translation
dzn 03:20:44
no rush. was excited tis all 🙂
dzn 03:20:49
we have some time to register
itsmisscs 03:49:56
@darshana hi yes
dzn 03:50:02
hi
itsmisscs 03:50:37
hehe
itsmisscs 03:50:41
😄 😂
itsmisscs 03:50:51
so much joy. so much joy.
dzn 03:51:12
dzn 03:51:37
💩
itsmisscs 04:12:30
lol
itsmisscs 04:12:34
turd
itsmisscs 04:13:22
once we get talk to nyc vision nailed i feel strongly that laundromat project would be a great way to get the project to harlem, or another community
itsmisscs 04:13:38
harlem would be rad bc you live there and i have past connections there.
itsmisscs 04:14:04
more manhattan pilots also gives us ammo with the BP office
dzn 04:16:10
yep!
dzn 04:16:34
and laundromat project will be such a great partner!!
dzn 04:16:44
I would love to get something going in Harlem
dzn 04:16:59
took a look at the trello OPT thing. Thanks!!
dzn 04:17:23
I’ll fill in the rest after we chat and then all set 🙂
dzn 04:18:01
on separate note, let’s try to use tripod for filming
dzn 04:19:25
we have nice content patches that lose focus or get shaky, particularly when the person behind the camera gets in on the conversation
dzn 04:19:38
also, I seem to have unsteady hands in general 😕
dzn 04:34:28
OMG premiere is amazing… it stabilizes camera shaking
dzn 04:34:35
god I love technology
dzn 04:34:42
some of it
dzn 04:34:47
I hate social media
dzn 04:49:16
lol. we’ve been using trello as a chat channel
itsmisscs 04:49:25
oooo amazing
itsmisscs 04:49:50
tripod is so clunky
itsmisscs 04:49:55
meh
itsmisscs 04:50:22
so much to cart around
dzn 04:50:22
yeah!
dzn 04:50:32
I’ll check how good the stabilization is with the videos we have but so far so good
itsmisscs 04:50:43
tripod is good for long interviews i feel
dzn 04:50:47
did you use the cc email to register?
itsmisscs 04:50:50
yes
dzn 04:50:53
cool
dzn 04:51:08
I’ll tell Danya and we correspond using that
dzn 04:51:22
tx for registering!!
dzn 04:51:27
this will be good I think
dzn 04:51:41
she is seems interested in our project too
dzn 04:51:43
🙂
itsmisscs 04:52:02
i wonder if they would be willing to beam us on via hangouts?
dzn 04:53:15
the class?
dzn 04:53:34
it’s in the evening here so conference time there
dzn 04:53:38
or just before
dzn 04:53:43
will be a stretch I think
itsmisscs 04:55:26
ah right
itsmisscs 05:52:42
so many exciting people going!!
itsmisscs 05:53:06

itsmisscs 06:08:14

itsmisscs 06:11:46

itsmisscs 06:13:18
very cool. i think we have something going with the housing survey. more people would be great
dzn 06:13:43

we should connect with Victoria from NDI and civic tech fest
dzn 02:00:13
Hi everyone!

My name is Victoria Welborn and I work on open government programming here at the National Democratic Institute (NDI) in Washington, D.C. Our work has a strong focus on the intersection of innovation and government, which allows us the chance to support, coalesce, and brainstorm with some really cool organizations like you guys. Before working in democracy strengthening, I worked in digital communications as a creative consultant (video editing, design, social media, constituent outreach, etc.), so if there are any Avid fans out there- come find me.

I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone and learning all about your work.

See y’all soon!

Designer friend likes our site 🙂 Phew. I feel better ish. I still wanna make it better though
itsmisscs 08:26:38
Other news, @darshana, I got some premiere training tips and a good book on the art of editing. We can chat at our morning checkin. I’m just finishing breakfast but will still sit with you.
itsmisscs 08:27:44
Also adjusted our video settings. He recommends that we shoot in 4k. Not because we will use 4k, but because we can zoom in and crop our videos. I’m going to head out pretty soon after we sync to grab a bunch of SD cards.
itsmisscs 08:28:56
The only downside is we may find 4k video difficult to edit due to large filesize. There are some workarounds. I’d like to try today’s shoots in higher quality and we can decide from there.

twitter

<https://twitter.com/thebestsophist|@thebestsophist> Which ones have caught your eye? I'm beginning to feel like many confs are echo chambers.

thebestsophist 00:42:25
(I’m sitting at the airport but…)
thebestsophist 00:43:21
I’m gonna be talking about something orthogonal to the stuff at state of the map next month
thebestsophist 00:44:27
applied to systemswe.love but was rejected
thebestsophist 00:48:16
but a lot of conferences are great at being inward-looking, but not as good at looking out? (like self-care and inclusive community) but very few care about “let’s think about how we can positively contribute to the bigger system.”
1
itsmisscs 00:48:53
@thebestsophist i’m also sitting at the airport 🙂 which airport?
thebestsophist 00:49:38
RDU! flying back to Boston—I spoke at data & democracy on saturday
itsmisscs 00:49:46
yesss to your last point…perhaps that is what is generating this echo chamber feeling i’m getting
itsmisscs 00:49:52
how did it go?
thebestsophist 00:50:14
i kinda forgot to tell them to put me last—luckily they did it anyway 😂
itsmisscs 00:51:03
noice 🙂
thebestsophist 00:51:55
but also, several teams in NC are building their own statistical models to figure out which state house seats they can flip—when did statistical forecasting become a thing that random people could do on a whim?!

(i mean—not random people—but seriously random middle class people putting together PACs and figuring out how to generate seed funding for candidates outside the normal party system?
itsmisscs 00:54:00
that’s dope
itsmisscs 00:54:06

itsmisscs 01:00:52

thebestsophist 01:02:04
❤️ 臺北 definitely hits the heart faaaasssstttttt
itsmisscs 01:02:53

itsmisscs 01:03:15
and so much of our work centered around connecting to people, hearing their stories and ideas
itsmisscs 01:03:27
i wanna go back
thebestsophist 01:04:33
yeah…my next major trip is going to be an extended research trip across taiwan
thebestsophist 01:09:54
but also, back to conferences—this is legit what I want to start SRCCON-like conference for this stuff
thebestsophist 01:10:52
Chatted a bit with Nicole Fenton and she said similar things
itsmisscs 01:18:28
let us know when you go 🙂
itsmisscs 01:18:33
happy to share any contacts with you
itsmisscs 01:19:06
yes!! i really think it needs to be more of that format. no being talked at. a participatory conference
thebestsophist 01:27:30
exactly!
itsmisscs 01:37:25
would be nice to have trainings, too. was really lucky to get to witness the work of Chia Hua in 臺北
itsmisscs 01:37:41
she’s got some wonderful methods to train facilitators that then get deployed all across taiwan

cool
itsmisscs 09:12:16
oh, yeah of course 🙂 i figured we were each tackling what we self assigned
dzn 09:14:18
yep. off to bed soon though. I am faaaaading
itsmisscs 19:24:07
We can make and save our own theme
itsmisscs 20:25:17
In keynote, just need to adjust opacity to add masks to images. no need to create another layer over the top 🙂

asked chihau for pic
itsmisscs 20:46:59
cool. i can make do
itsmisscs 21:02:03
in terms of domain properties, i don’t think `talkto.nyc` should be a subdomain. the reason behind making it stand-alone was so it could be its own project. about page should include mention of parent company though.
dzn 21:04:10
yeah. agree
dzn 21:04:21
it is meant to be a community run thing
itsmisscs 21:04:24

itsmisscs 21:05:08
the vr project can be subdomain or just compositescollective.com/projects
dzn 21:36:10

itsmisscs 21:36:25
they shouldn’t be

what view are you using?
itsmisscs 21:37:04
scale zoom down to 25%
dzn 21:50:12
that’s not the issue. The side panel shows that they are different sizes

Inwood NYC Planning Initiative

The Inwood NYC 2017 Action Plan is the first chapter of a conversation about the future of Inwood. The City is committed to continue working with the Inwood community throughout this process to help shape the future of this great New York neighborhood.

itsmisscs 02:10:39
interesting…city is saying it held community workshops for rezoning
itsmisscs 02:13:33
interesting…once again the city doesn’t support the neighborhood rezoning plan in east harlem. though looks like the city plan did get shut down with a no vote

np!!
itsmisscs 02:21:43
> The City Planning meeting went on for five hours, and most of the people who testified spoke in opposition to the project, according to City Limits. Local residents’ primary complaints have to do with the fact that the current plan would allow for buildings as tall as 35-stories along Park and Third Avenue, a scale of development unheard of in East Harlem.

> Residents expressed concerns that the new projects would rapidly escalate rents and eventually displace them from the neighborhood. Others argued that the rezoning did not build on the East Harlem Neighborhood Plan, which locals had spent two years crafting.
itsmisscs 02:22:15
i’m curious to know how these neighborhood plans happen. there seems to be a trend here between two opposing plans.
dzn 02:58:36
yeah
dzn 02:58:40

I’m back

➕ 1
itsmisscs 02:59:14
i accidentally deleted the label on slide #18
dzn 02:59:40
I’ll put it in
itsmisscs 02:59:48
ty!
dzn 02:59:55
also, ‘govt’ not ‘legal’ I think
dzn 03:00:04
(like the picture by the way!!)
itsmisscs 03:00:09
hmm?
itsmisscs 03:00:19
govt no legal?
itsmisscs 03:00:25
i’m finding an image for 8
itsmisscs 03:00:52
and i will replace 16 since i used it already. have plenty of deliberation
itsmisscs 03:01:08
not sure i got the layout of the room correctly. i remember you took notes, right?
dzn 03:03:34
yeah
dzn 03:03:35
🙂
dzn 03:03:47
That was what my cryptic comment was about
itsmisscs 03:04:02
oh! replace 🙂
itsmisscs 03:04:09
change all you want
dzn 03:04:11
I’ll replace
itsmisscs 03:04:18
i will adjust colors in one go
itsmisscs 03:04:30
thinking our lighter pink or something
itsmisscs 03:04:45
colors and fonts and layout/positioning tweaks once everything is in
itsmisscs 03:04:55
that way i can save the styles and then use this as a base for our theme
itsmisscs 03:05:27
i propose we spot in a couple hours to run through the talk
itsmisscs 03:05:36
couple times tonight will make tomorrow much smoother
dzn 03:17:26
yeah
dzn 03:17:38
let’s run through a few times today
dzn 03:18:07
was changing colors around to differentiate organizers from attendees
itsmisscs 03:18:35
i think they look really funny when the comment pointer is long
itsmisscs 03:18:39
tech crew
itsmisscs 03:18:51
my recommendation is one of our lighter pinks
itsmisscs 03:19:03
shouldn’t use same pink as the label…it detracts
itsmisscs 03:19:17
let’s finish slides first 🙂
itsmisscs 03:19:33
then we can work on colors and adjustments calmly
dzn 03:22:56
I moved it all to white and blue
dzn 03:23:08
much better than pink
dzn 03:25:21
Getting icons for stakeholders
dzn 03:25:49
hard to squeeze everything in with no long pointers
itsmisscs 03:26:08
move the pointer to the side
itsmisscs 03:26:21
or move it above and place the label below
dzn 03:27:03
fixed it
itsmisscs 03:54:40
was thinking it should be really somber either way…lots of opacity if we go for an image
itsmisscs 03:54:50
there are also the ones of youth on the streets or playing in fountains that i like
dzn 03:56:27
Like the images a lot but don’t think they go with the quote
dzn 03:56:36
the quote looks nice plain too
dzn 03:56:40
just pink and black
itsmisscs 03:56:44
yeah, i was thinking of living it plain
itsmisscs 03:57:13
the juxtaposition was that the 70s/80s was nyc’s first big change to dwelling…buildings sold etc
itsmisscs 03:57:16
but i think plain is nice
itsmisscs 03:57:26
yeah, i like ++
itsmisscs 03:57:28
pink ++
itsmisscs 03:57:37
reflection
itsmisscs 03:57:44
also very ando, simple
dzn 03:57:45
yep 🙂
dzn 04:00:30
the island I got stuck on during hurricane in japan had some excellent ando buildings!!
dzn 04:00:36

dzn 04:07:52
the icons for stakeholders…
dzn 04:25:31
take a look at videos?
itsmisscs 04:25:42
oh! didn’t see that they were ready
itsmisscs 04:25:56
wrapping up some image searching. i’ll take a look shortly
dzn 04:29:39
cool 🙂
dzn 04:31:12
take a look at dropbox?
the two video options are in the Taiwan folder
housing-protest-height-restrictions —— excellent audio but bad video
^^ if you like this one much better then we can put in a picture and audio
dzn 04:31:16
my mistake
dzn 04:31:24
put it in articles channel
dzn 04:31:33
not edited but the 2 options are in there
itsmisscs 04:43:49
checking. then i need to run to the bank
itsmisscs 04:43:57
i will finish up watchout slide when i get back
itsmisscs 04:46:41
@darshana ^^
itsmisscs 04:46:46
i’ll finish the watchout slides
itsmisscs 04:47:06
there’s stakeholder icons, ideas, re:imagine slide that remain :slightly_smiling_face:
itsmisscs 04:47:48
also 27
itsmisscs 04:47:54
added an image but needs content
dzn 04:48:06
the stakeholder icons are in here https://pad.riseup.net/p/icons
dzn 04:48:20
I’ll continue
itsmisscs 04:48:33
are you not building the slide?
dzn 04:48:41
get back from the bank and we touch base again
itsmisscs 04:48:58
watching video first then will leave
dzn 04:50:29
ah. I thought you wanted to build it which is why I moved to watchout
dzn 04:50:38
either way is fine with me
itsmisscs 04:50:45
ah. no thought you were taking that slide
dzn 04:50:49
cool
itsmisscs 04:50:50
through to finish
dzn 04:51:07
I added one more image to the watchout thing
itsmisscs 04:51:13
yup ++
dzn 04:51:16
I like their metric thing
itsmisscs 04:51:34
yup wanted to add that! thank you!
itsmisscs 04:53:07
they are both good
itsmisscs 04:53:12
think they both need to be trimmed though
itsmisscs 04:53:16
whichever you want to go with
dzn 04:53:32
the videos?
dzn 04:53:35
yes
itsmisscs 04:53:38
yeah
dzn 04:53:42
I know
itsmisscs 04:53:51
i’m fine with either, just need to be tightened in places
dzn 04:54:04
I like the content for the one with shitty video
dzn 04:54:07
which is sad
dzn 04:54:09
so…
itsmisscs 04:54:11
i don’t think it so bad
dzn 04:54:15
audio with better content

or audio+video
itsmisscs 04:54:38
it has a couple moments where the video jumps that we can either use a still or just let it be
itsmisscs 04:54:50
are you watching at full res on your machine?
itsmisscs 04:55:19
i like the content from both…strong points at the end of protest
itsmisscs 04:55:25
and the story of the other is good
itsmisscs 04:55:28
why not merge?
itsmisscs 04:55:47
we can also swap…happy to wrap up editing if you want to take the presentation over
dzn 04:58:20
I’ll take care of the video
dzn 04:58:24
shouldn’t be long
dzn 04:58:41
I think merging will be too long, but will see
dzn 04:58:56
there are some chunks in the middle that need to go (redundant)
dzn 04:59:27
mixing stills in will be too much I think, it takes a while to get it smooth
dzn 04:59:38
I’ll do our usual icon page
dzn 04:59:49
and then switch to video
itsmisscs 05:00:07
okay
itsmisscs 06:16:36
I’m back @darshana
itsmisscs 06:16:41
i like the icons you chose
itsmisscs 06:17:35
not so sold on image for #23. what were you going for image wise/what were your thoughts on what the image should convey?
dzn 06:21:59
i know
dzn 06:22:06
found a new artist
dzn 06:22:14
that’s a picture from metropolis
dzn 06:22:21
was looking for a sci-fi feel
itsmisscs 06:22:25
yup. i recognized it
dzn 06:22:56
what about a sci-fi city pic ^^
itsmisscs 06:23:22
doesn’t fit
dzn 06:23:53
none of them??
itsmisscs 06:23:56
i think it needs to be more modern in tone…can be futuristic, which i like your idea, but needs to feel attainable
dzn 06:24:01
there are some more muted ones
itsmisscs 06:24:15
they don’t feel real
dzn 06:24:22
modern is tons of buildings like NYC on steroids
itsmisscs 06:24:36
not hard modern
itsmisscs 06:24:48
like…modern playground or something
itsmisscs 06:25:04
cities that are liveable…new approaches to housing and play areas
dzn 06:26:40
I like the concept, depends on picture though…
dzn 06:26:50
would be nice to have it a bit out there
dzn 06:26:54
I think
itsmisscs 06:27:14
i feel like it needs to feel attainable
itsmisscs 06:27:25
these are not things that are impossible
dzn 06:30:28
sure. poke around and see what comes up
itsmisscs 06:30:55
i’ll give it a look. may be hard to find something. haven’t been following any architects
itsmisscs 06:31:03
do you wanna go through this a couple times?
itsmisscs 06:31:19
need to run out for 5 min to find mitra’s toy but ready to run through otherwise
dzn 06:31:25
tadao ando’s buildings might actually be good
itsmisscs 06:31:45
i’ll take a look..not a bad idea
itsmisscs 06:32:11
brb then let’s run through
itsmisscs 06:33:55
not quite this but something like this type of thought…not a fan of the renders. to low fidelity
dzn 06:37:01
yeah
dzn 06:37:06

> Taiwan has been experimenting with bringing citizens and government together in a civic deliberation process for crafting digital legislation. Our process, vTaiwan, brings people directly into governance and helps lawmakers implement decisions with a greater degree of legitimacy. We see our project as an adaptable and reproducible prototype for future democracy.
