quite the clever model from high fidelity https://worklist.net/
worklist.net
High Fidelity is an open source virtual world platform. We are building the software with a mix of full-time developers, part time developers who are paid here on the worklist, and open source collaborators. As use of the virtual world grows, Worklist will also host paid projects run by other teams.
they let folks bid on issues to resolve. interesting approach to running a project.

++ @darshana like the idea of notes in nextcloud ❤️
🙂 making it easy for them
security ++
yep
also, do you mind wednesday afternoon for civic hall?
3:30?
Then maybe yoga?
no, that’s fine. no yoga for me. i have some stuff to finish by wednesday night.
alright.
ugh…my phone fell into Mitra’s bowl of water. Think that’s the end of it
oh no. shit
is it dead??
and I was annoyed about leaving mine at home
i put it in rice. it wants to power off…there’s obvious water damage on the screen now too. sigh. i have another phone…just sucks to lose a phone this way
ugh
that phone inched its way to death
it just looked dead
needed screen replacement. my bad for mis-caring for it
@darshana do you want to kick off an hour earlier tomorrow?
sure
good thing you have extra phones
it’s alive! just a small tache as a battle scar
got denver details!! let’s chat tomorrow after retro about the talk. i’d like to make sure i’m covering things for the team.
Twitter +++++++
zomg finally: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl (ht @sylin)
GitHub
youtube-dl - Command-line program to download videos from <http://YouTube.com|YouTube.com> and other video sites
eh?
I guess you know it already, another easy hack to download a youtube video by simply replacing the url youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx to linkyoutube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx
nope. i didn’t.
sigh…i wasn’t so pleased with that talk.
i like the version at DjangoCon better. still suffered from not reading what’s on my slides. which is great.
learned my lessons
peace, will use your fav one next time
Lol. It’s public. Use what you want
for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gpraHLQ0L0 -> https://www.linkyoutube.com/watch?v=0gpraHLQ0L0
YouTube
i tried linktube and it said we had to download flash. boooooo.
command line ftw 😛
nope. i didn’t.

@darshana i realized when I got to the train I had forgotten my wallet. Likely going to be 10 min late
Lol. It’s public. Use what you want
No problem! I'll go in and get some tea :) I'll see you at the temple of dendur room (the one with the skylight). I'll be sitting in my usual spot at the corner.
I may make it. Super great train luck! 2 stops away on express 4.

cool cool

My audio bugged out

2017-10-05
Thanks for the hackmd. I will take a look around 2. Skimming the tome they sent
330 pages?!
After reading the intro I actually think the book may have some important points for us or might be able to provide us with some citations when we think about the larger picture of Taiwan’s viable system design, for example
Micah went to Princeton And there is a Masters program for collective action
This book is really good!!
I am midway through the chapter micah suggested and it’s excellent
yes, it is
totally fits in the viable systems framework
yup 🙂
also easy to read
also, very good lessons and metrics for us to set up talkto.nyc
I know! surprisingly easy
what was his chapter suggestion? i closed that and just read the foreward, intro, and part of the first
chapter 1
ah cool
🙂
he’s a good person to know. done a lot of work
and very low key about it in his ways unlike some people we have crossed 😉
yes. oodles of practical knowledge too
he’s run many many projects
he also founded the sunlight foundation
yeah, he mentioned that last time we were there
yeah. surprisingly unassuming in person
would be a good advisor for talkto.nyc project
for sure!
i think we should run our project design by him once we get ready to hit funds
yes!
and as we set things up
I started putting in relevant/interesting bits of the book here — https://hackmd.io/MYNgjALGDswJwFoxwKYoRARgVmwgHPgAyYYQDMmqRAZmsMEA?both
thank you for sharing
it is 3:30 right, not 3?
lead on some potential dev work. thank you twitter, again. pitched that we had a team. fingers crossed, maybe we get han
hey. How to get in touch with claire? Have an email?
Slack
Claire Cheng? Claire Ace? or the third Claire
Claire Cheng
got it
her name is ting-yu cheng
Claire Cheng
@claire
@darshana will take a look a momentum later today.
2017-10-06
let’s set up a meeting to outline and flesh out the projects themselves
Tuesday?
Afternoon?
Yes, project planning meetings/kickoffs
after Mary’s chat
I think we need to give a couple hours for each
for each?
are you just thinking talkto.nyc?
you said projects…plural 🙂 wondering what those are
all. we should start with the whole pie and then see where the pieces fit and put in time lines
talk to, facillitation, pushing the viable systems thinking along
contributing to holopolis
then a full planning meetings for projets
cool cool. block of the afternoon then 🙂
cool
tuesday!
would be good to get an agenda together so we make sure we walk out with what we want
and we can keep notes as we go along
reminds me that we want to put up our notes from yesterday
actually, we might have to do it when you are back
24th
we have quite a bit on our plate for before
it’s really nice to get it out before but time is super tight the few days we overlap
24th?
coming over!
cool
@darshana plugged drive back in and it is resuming putting videos in the folders. i will move them into raw footage once this is done.
cool
I’ll keep an eye on the cards
I’m waiting from frame.io uploads on this end
k. i’m waiting for our money back 💸
heading out with mitra 👋🏾

@darshana Here’s the resource on how Hackfoldr works. I added it to the channel pin messages for posterity. Moving into our hackfoldr resources section, too
Good resource on how Hackfoldr works http://beta.hackfoldr.org/edgi-meetings/
Frame.io is great
nice fine 🙂
Thanks!!
just sent link to pdis team
yeah? sweet. i can’t wait to use it
it looks like it’ll be super rad for us moving forward. they just emailed me about the trial…will look at what they say
i’m excited to collaborate with you using it. have you experimented with importing back into premiere yet?
not yet. only tested the sharing and commenting.
we can publish straight to vimeo though!!
getting on the road now. Do stand-up on signal?
yeah
have fun!!! 🏕️ 🔥 🍄 🔮 🎉
:)))
Also, such good content in pdis videos
Also looks great
Those orchids... <sigh>
renewed democracy
oops
Oops?? 😬
Send some orchids to NYC Shu!!
Some Taiwanese orchids
sigh
you like orchids?
who doesn’t??
@darshana they refunded the money but put us back on the team yearly plan grrrr
Saw the refund. That’s good! The rest we can manage. Switch after a month
2017-10-08
@itsmisscs travel schedule fine with me. We’ll plan for what to get done separately so you don’t have to worry about finding a way to stay connected through the travels. It sounds like you will be on the move a lot.
yes, camping for the first week. then abq will be more chill. there’s a day built in to do one’s own things
let’s plan for no connectivity event and if there is, it’s a bonus

🙂
cool
where did ttcat reply about videos? don’t see a reply
who doesn’t??
Saw the refund. That’s good! The rest we can manage. Switch after a month
He sent me a twitter dm asking where we had notified him. I said slack. He then sent message that he was okay with footage as not to block.
let’s give him more time and only send the videos with the the off-the-cuff conversation.
it’s worth it I think. We had some very personal conversations with him. Want to make it easy for him to check
and we’ll send it to him on frame.io. Make it easy
That works?
A transcript will be easier for him, I feel. Scan and read vs watch
That works too
Go ahead and try it. Video compatibility could be it too
let’s get a move on this transcript thing in any case. It will be useful
The free method is in the channel backlog, also in betafoldr.
ok. will take a look
Frame.io is so nice. Coupled with time coded transcripts we will breeze through finding soundbites. Even without the transcript, reviewing is a joy.
I like that we can set up our own hashtag language to filter by.
Also, we can download the comments. This could help serve as an informal, “here’s where conversations start/end” especially if we clip out more of the deadtime.
@darshana hackfoldr is good for some things and terrible for others. for example, collecting all the articles we like is kinda tedious. I think discourse could be a nice in between: each article because a discussion where we can leave comments and thoughts. a way to share, keep a history. it has an api that we can use also.
another option would be to setup a micro news rss feed, also some great foss options with apis, and then pipe that back into discourse.
i think now is the time to experiment with tools. instead of posting into slack, we can setup the tools to post when we update…similar experience just a different direction
though…now i’m wondering if we can eventually have a bot that scans slack for a hashtag to pull links back out into the central node, whatever service that be
typing this out, it feels like our goals are: 1) easy, frictionless way to share things; 2) way to save them for future; 3) place to discuss (nice to have)

Sounds like it. Our plan for the near future is to get to know these guys and their methods well.
so this totally works out!!!
are you thinking of coming for this?
sadly no, srccon:work is the week after that
Ooo srccon.
@darshana I’m eating and then free to chat

@darshana hello! i have internet and power tonight and tomorrow morning. catching up on a couple things.
2017-10-19
@itsmisscs Hello! I’ve left a note for you in the Civicist article trello card.
I’ll be out and about tomorrow (the betaNYC event and NMASS) so may not be reachable on slack at all times
best to signal me to reach me
I have an easy Friday. Can video chat any time if you still have internet Friday.
2017-10-20
@darshana Sounds good. Looking forward to hear how the BetaNYC event goes! I will have internet tomorrow, connecting on the earlier side would work best. I should be in a place with a properly working clock tonight.
@itsmisscs morning is cool. Just let me know what time, I'll make sure I am by the computer. I have a call from 12-1 but free otherwise.
i tried linktube and it said we had to download flash. boooooo.
command line ftw 😛
Morning. I'm going to housing court with one of the ladies from NMASS. Curious to see what it's like. Call me on phone when you are ready to chat. Might not hear if you slack.
@darshana that’s great :)) I am emailing you. my phone is kaput and not taking a charge with my charger.
2017-10-21
@itsmisscs let’s chat?
@darshana in a call with colin at the moment.
@darshana jumping into appear.in
great!
just finished up.
I’ll get on too
@sylin can we set up a time to video chat about https://pdc2018.org/ next week? maybe our evening your morning? we are flexible though 🙂
Yay! Glad you are interested. I will be out on Monday so maybe Tuesday morning, your Monday evening?
Monday might be tight for CS. She is traveling that day.
@itsmisscs ^^ correct?
Tuesday night our time?
Tuesday night works for me.
2017-10-23
Tuesday is fine. I’m in by 4pm on Monday. More time to un-pack but I’m available before 9:30.
@darshana here’s an easier diff of some of the edits i made to the travelogue” https://gist.github.com/misscs/ae8d3b8ca2eb0489c251899dd43a7f6f/revisions
Some things reverted back in the GDoc version. Would be good to discuss them, in particular our riff on DH quote
hey.

🙂
moving all the pieces around for better flow
based on friday discussions
keep me updated if you are working on document, otherwise it will get too confusing
I am but I think that’s okay in gdoc. I am using my own account
Taking a break though. So go on. I can write my part separately. Was just re-reading again
let’s not do the whole copy now, we need to send
will you do the tech section and leave the rest?
I’m incorporating the changes we discussed, you write the tech section, we will send and then next set of edits for after
after they look and after you get back
makes sense?
@itsmisscs will be super great if you can take on the tech and tools section
Im not writing a whole other copy. Where did you get that from? Yes, that’s whatever agreed to.
not writing a whole copy, editing the whole thing
what I meant is… don’t start editing from the top, with us long-distance, and all these bits floating around it will be difficult to pull together
I am in the midst of a massive re-haul
@darshana @itsmisscs let’s say your tues 9pm, my wed 10am?
sadly, we need to reschedule. we had down the wrong date for a funding opportunity. gotta turn it in at midnight 🙀
@darshana @sylin ^^
sorry Shu
ok. let me know when you’re available.
@sylin would before holopolis work for you or do you prefer morning (your time)?
before holopolis? as in friday’s meeting?
Yeah Your Friday our Thursday
Evenings work also. I can cope with your schedule since I am more flexible here. just let me know when you are free 🙂
sure that works. my friday morning and your thursday night.
:) Sweet. Let’s do that. Thank you for being s accommodating!
does the same time work for you? 10am?

@darshana desis is quite interesting. it will be worth digging a bit into their projects—appears they did some work in housing. they mention on their site that they are open to collaborations with organizations and welcome all inquiries.

I really loved listening to how they are designing their organization and how they organize their type of work. i also really liked a lot of the language she uses to describe how they work. i found it very relevant for us as we think though the structure of CC and the housing project as well as overall insights into how to go about our day-to-day when we are deep in talk to

The Onion
SEATTLE—Reporting that millions of customers had already signed up for the feature in the few hours since its launch, Amazon announced a new service Friday that comes to your house and kills you. “Amazon has always offered unparalleled customer service and convenience, and Amazon Slay is part of that philosophy,” said company spokesperson Leslie Rivera, adding that the service, which allows customers to choose between being shot, strangled, or beaten to death with one of several available blunt objects, was currently only available to Amazon Prime customers but would be expanding in coming months to satisfy the unprecedented demand. “In addition to giving subscribers the choice of multiple disposal options, including having their bodies buried in a shallow grave in the wilderness or being dissolved in a barrel of acid, Amazon Slay also features real-time text alerts that let you know exactly when one of our employees will be arriving at your home to take your life, or the life of a friend or relative if you choose the gift option.” At press time, Amazon announced it was working to improve the service’s compatibility with Amazon Echo so that customers could simply have their Alexa digital assistant kill them directly.

hey. question.
/me listening
the team@ email is set up with the hi@ account
but the replies go to my cc account
no it isn’t set up to hi@
it is mapped to each of our personal cc accounts
hi@ is it’s own account, for ease of separation from the parent org
my doing then
when I set up the email, I did it from hi@
will fix
when I added an identity
will change
ah. gotcha 🙂
I’ll change. I though both combined emails go together
combined emails?
hi@ and team@
the accounts we both access?
ah. yeah, they are set up differently
emails that are meant for the both of us
cool
will fix it
one can be thought of as attached (an alias) the other can be thought of as detached, its own user (hi@)
since we really just use team@ to share email, i made it an alias.
since hi is an org that belongs the community/public, it has a detached identity from the start.
makes sense!
@itsmisscs can’t find me on medium?
@darshana nope 😕
so strange
I registered with the darshana@cc email. They’ve started sending me junk email so it definitely went through
I’ll look
paste me your profile page url
will be something like `https://medium.com/@itsmisscs`

yay yay
@darshana for some reason i’m not getting first name and last name from share@
i’m checking share@ to see if i can remember what i did to fix it. it may have been to alway enter using address book. let me check first though
@darshana example of what i see in address book.
odd
I accessed our contact folder in share.mayfirst.org (the sign in is hi@) and added there
maybe it is this machine. i’ll so check my laptop
check and let me know
it is strange
only two cards in my set that weren’t added.
i’ll add them and put the details in trello
the rest are in there??
yeah
that’s good.
That means I added them
We must have had a lot of overlapping cards
i’m not so surprised by the overlap
yeah, another card bites the dust
🙂
in actuality, we did very well this month
do you happen to have Sho’s contact info?
yeah. Things are moving quite well
we had 19 points of unplanned work
we are just task masters. lol
phew
that broke out into 5, 5, 7 with some 1s
21 points, actually
that’s a lot!
we must consider the writeup part of unplanned work
yes. if we look at how many points remained in october, it would come close
points but also scale (# of 5/7)
quite a bit
a lot of framing and planning
@itsmisscs you happen to have sho’s contact info
I could have sworn I took it down
can’t find for some reason
i will check my note books from the trips later but i don’t have it either…
will double check evernote too
