As many of you know, in the past few months I have been studying the ins and outs of professional cookery at the Institute of Culinary Education. As we round the midway point, I have been thinking hard about what I'd like my design practice to evolve into post-graduation. To inspire possible answers, I am embarking on a series of experiments to explore the effects of food on social interaction. Event Format These dinners will be a little different from your typical sit-and-eat dining experience. While I can't promise predictability, what I can promise is a memorable evening of interacting in new and interesting ways with friends from the Orbital community. And of course, an abundance of tasty food made by yours truly. 7:00pm - Welcome and Freeform Mingling! 7:30pm - Sit-Down Dinner and Interactive Experiment begins (don't be late!) BYOB—This will allow me to focus on delivering the best possible food experience. (At least, until I take the wine course.) Theme The theme of this upcoming dinner will be... Thanksgiving! With a twist. If you have a personal favorite seasonal side dish, please tell me what it is. Your answers will inform certain aspects of the meal, which I won't reveal until dinner is served. Hope to see you there! FAQ May I bring a friend? Yes! Please have them purchase a ticket as well, so I can keep track of attendees as well as the amount of food to make. What does the ticket price cover? The ticket price covers the cost of ingredients and transportation, with a bit of padding for costing errors/price fluctuation. I source the majority of my ingredients from local producers committed to sustainabile growing methods and humane animal husbandry practices. The goal isn't to turn a profit, however if there is money left over, it will be donated to the unofficial Orbital Drinks Fund for the all-important purpose of fueling future merriment. I have a food allergy/dietary limitations. Inform me via the registration form and I will ensure that everyone leaves the dinner in healthy good cheer. :)

hi @rachaello
Adhocracy is a flexible, adaptable and informal form of organization that is defined by a lack of formal structure. It operates in an opposite fashion to a bureaucracy. The term was coined by Warren Bennis in his 1968 book The Temporary Society, later popularized in 1970 by Alvin Toffler in Future Shock, and has since become often used in the theory of management of organizations (particularly online organizations). The concept has been further developed by academics such as Henry Mintzberg. Adhocracy is characterized by an adaptive, creative and flexible integrative behavior based on non-permanence and spontaneity. It is believed that these characteristics allow adhocracy to respond faster than traditional bureaucratic organizations while being more open to new ideas.

agree but maybe not for this one. I think most of them need a bit of context and we don’t go into the context right now
except maybe “this process is expense….needs a strong community”
i should correct typing typos
we can use it in the g0v article 🙂
let’s enjoy having a whole article to tease through

brain or soul…soul or brain
so tough
😬
either soul or cognition
not a big fan of brain being a special body part
yeah i hear you on that
cognition is nice but lots of typing
soul is simple
yeah
also denotes a rawer space
also, I like the ring of it too
I vote for soul!
cool. then we continue forward as it is named.
the ease of the api may be what tips me over to use one as my own personal evernote
shall see. i really like it for our stuff. it lends itself quite well. it is nice to have text, but the chia hua post of your screen shots worked really well to
makes the nicest shared space
it doesn’t allow pdf uploads. i need to check if it is a setting or by design.
the screenshots work surprisingly well
That’s odd that it doesn’t allow pdf update
yeah. images work well. these are from my notes http://soul.compositescollective.com/t/civic-tech-fest-panels-day-2/73

a nice way to share 🙂
so nice!!
I will start moving stuff too and playing around
moving to the article first though…
going to go over solo for a bit, get into the grove
then ping and see where you are?
@darshana sure. i’m working on the vtaiwan piece…the tools
🙂 I’ll giving it a read through for feel etc.
will tell you where I land

The meme that paralysed the administration [image] In March 2014, students in the Sunflower movement occupied the Parliament for 22 days.

take this idea of crowdsourcing concerns for districts
the democracy as a game section of that post is +++ 💛
briefly went over. I like!! Was thinking of another way that this could be a game
chat later..
for now.. I am going over the g0v and PDIS parts
okay. i’m in vtaiwan/lu chai hua and watchout
@darshana what do you think about using ugly cat story to underscore the time we spent there a bit further up…something along the lines “had such a rousing conversation that Ugly, the office cat who likes to be a master of his space, came contribute his story about the two cats sharing his space…
lol. That might work
put in what you feel like, then we can switch spots and see what it sounds like
then it can end on a project which is a nice tie to the opening of the following paragraph
i still vote to cut ugly cat 😜
but i think you are right that we don’t know what angle we will take to tell the story. infusing ugly here fits the spirit of travel/story
but i’ll see if this reads better than current placement at the end
but i think you are right that we don’t know what angle we will take to tell the story. infusing ugly here fits the spirit of travel/story
it adds a some color to that section
we don’t have much personal stuff there the way it stood before
we don’t have to mention the master of this space part if that sounds weird
ah. maybe that’s what tripping it up. didn’t think about that until you mentioned it
we can just leave it at, we visited the team and Ugly cat at…
i always saw that as the descriptor
🙂
q to you ---
does the g0v hackathon enforce open source??
as in, do all projects HAVE to be opensource
they clear that up in the video. i believe that is the one thing they ask but you don’t have to
i don’t remember clearly, sorry
they say that about projects that are funded through OCF
that they have to be open source
I didn’t think they mentioned hackathon projects
mmm also about g0v projects
let me check through notes
I’ll look at the video
have to do it any case for Kirby’s quote
kirby’s is the last one of the second video
i think we shoud keep frame.io for the next couple months, especially if we decide to do patreon and release videos. if we invite ourselves to the team we can @mention each other and more effectively communicate over videos, i feel.
at least until we get though reviewing and making clips of all the taiwan footage
ipa says
> “the key reason behind the growth of the community is that we encourage everyone uses the open source license”
> “the key reason behind the growth of the community is that we encourage everyone uses the open source license”
encourage but don’t mandate 🙂
part 2 video. sometimes for my notes, you need to go forward a bit.
I like that!! fits really well with what we are trying to say
(the ipa quote)
would be good to keep frame.io but maybe we can downgrade
we have already run out of space
we need to cut down the clips. i think it would be helpful for that first stage..reviewing…marking the spots. then we can make the clips and put them somewhere else for now
we can get way more hosted space and just mount it like a dropbox folder
I like!! I’m going to retweet on talkto. hehe
practice twittering or something
I think compressing the 4K videos is another option. The Jacklyn Tsai videos alone are 30GB!!
yeah they are huge
that’s totally right
it’s really 2 sets that are occupying all the space
the 4k video sets hehe
yeah 🙂
but it is so much better footage
compressing is a great idea
I like!! I’m going to retweet on talkto. hehe
for the g0v article, i think reviewing the mglee and ttcat videos will be useful
practice twittering or something
for sure!! for the next set of articles we should review all of the videos
JT video, too….yeah, you are right, all of them
@darshana what changes do you want to events section? i have the code open. just moved the project section below team and removed “pilot” from title”
just that. the rest are spelling mistakes
I can tell you now if that’s easier
yes 🙂 while i have it up
looking
…
in the denver talk, ‘On/Offline’
what was the change for the facilitation event that you wanted?
getting there
I’m going down the list
comma between all the places and cities — e.g. WEWORK CHELSEA, NYC
damn
easier if I just do it and not pass it on to you
there are a few more small things here and there
i will add the comma through CSS
even before beta nyc
I will take do later
my head is in article..
mkay. i’ll take care of the comma and push what i have
sure thing
yep!!
that works 🙂
i am going to make that fix and then go get some groceries and head home before the meeting
if you can let me know what you think of the directions in chia hua and watchout, would be much appreciated
i can start putting samples of my thoughts for pdis section
oh wow even the park that separates watchout from ey has grass in the history of taiwan’s battles for democracy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/228_Peace_Memorial_Park
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_28_Incident
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/228_Peace_Memorial_Park
The February 28 Incident or the February 28 Massacre, also known as the 2.28 Incident (from Chinese: 二二八事件; pinyin: Èr’èrbā shìjiàn), was an anti-government uprising in Taiwan that was violently suppressed by the Kuomintang-led Republic of China government, which killed thousands of civilians beginning on February 28, 1947. The number of Taiwanese deaths is estimated to be 10,000. The massacre marked the beginning of the White Terror in which tens of thousands of other Taiwanese went missing, died or were imprisoned. The incident is one of the most important events in Taiwan's modern history and was a critical impetus for the Taiwan independence movement. In 1945, following the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, the Allied Forces handed temporary administrative control of Taiwan to the Republic of China (ROC), thus ending 50 years of Japanese colonial rule. Local inhabitants became resentful of what they saw as high-handed and frequently corrupt conduct on the part of the Kuomintang (KMT) authorities, their arbitrary seizure of private property and their economic mismanagement. The flashpoint came on February 27 1947 in Taipei, when a dispute between a cigarette vendor and an officer of the Office of Monopoly triggered civil disorder and an open rebellion that lasted for days. The violence spread and led to indiscriminate lynching of Mainlanders. The uprising was violently put down by the military of the Republic of China, and the island was placed under martial law. The subject was officially taboo for decades. On the anniversary of the event in 1995, President Lee Teng-hui addressed the subject publicly, a first. The event is now openly discussed and details of the event have become the subject of government and academic investigation. February 28 has been designated Peace Memorial Day (和平紀念日; hépíng jìniànrì), an official public holiday. Every February 28, the president of the ROC gathers with other officials to ring a commemorative bell in memory of the victims. The president bows to family members of 2/28 victims and gives each one a certificate officially exonerating any victims previously blacklisted as enemies of the state. Monuments and memorial parks to the victims of 2/28 have been erected in a number of Taiwanese cities, including Kaohsiung and Taipei. Taipei's former "Taipei New Park" was rededicated as 228 Peace Memorial Park and houses the National 228 Memorial Museum to commemorate the tragic incident. The museum opened on February 28, 1997, and re-opened on February 28, 2011, with new permanent exhibits.
The 228 Peace Memorial Park is a historic site and municipal park located at 3 Ketagalan Boulevard, Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan. The park contains memorials to victims of the February 28 Incident of 1947, including the Taipei 228 Memorial that stands at the center of the park and the Taipei 228 Memorial Museum, housed at the site of a former radio station that operated under Japanese and Kuomintang rule. The National Taiwan Museum stands at the park's north entrance. The park also has a bandshell and exercise areas.
this will go well with my other bed time entertainment — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vietnam_War_(TV_series)
The Vietnam War is a 10-part, 17-and-a-quarter-hour American television documentary series about the Vietnam War written by Geoffrey C. Ward and directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. The first episode premiered on PBS on September 17, 2017. The script is by Geoffrey Ward, and the series is narrated by Peter Coyote.

> “Protecting our community is more important than maximizing our profits,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on 1 November but increasing earnings seems to be the rationale behind the disturbing change that Facebook has been testing in six countries (Slovakia, Serbia, Bolivia, Guatemala, Sri Lanka and Cambodia) since mid-October.
>Under this change, news media stories no longer appear in the main “News Feed” unless they pay to appear there. The “News Feed” now only shows content from the user’s “friends” and paid content including advertisements. News media content is relegated to a less prominent “Explore” feed.

RSF
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on Facebook to act responsibly by abandoning the change to its news feed that it is currently testing in six countries. It would be disastrous for the survival of many media outlets if Facebook adopted the change worldwide. “Protecting our community is more important than maximizing our profits,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on 1 November but increasing earnings seems to be the rationale behind the disturbing change that Facebook has been testing in six countries (Slovakia, Serbia, Bolivia, Guatemala, Sri Lanka and Cambodia) since mid-October.Under this change, news media stories no longer appear in the main “News Feed” unless they pay to appear there. The “News Feed” now only shows content from the user’s “friends” and paid content including advertisements. News media content is relegated to a less prominent “Explore” feed.“In our view, this arrangement reinforces a discriminatory, pay-based distribution of media content that threatens journalism’s ability to survive,” RSF secretary-general Christophe Deloire said. “Given social media’s role in providing access to the news media, it would be dangerous for journalism to be relegated to Facebook’s cellars.”In response to the outcry about the experiment, Facebook has said it is just a test and that, for the time being, there is no question of extending it to other countries. If extended, it would further undermine the news media, whose content it already rendered less visible by ads and other forms of non-journalistic content, including PR content and rumors, which Facebook displays prominently.“We call on Facebook to behave more responsibly,” said Elodie Vialle, the head of RSF’s Journalism and Technology Desk. “We are extremely worried about the way this test is being conducted, the lack of transparency and the potential consequences for the media. Facebook’s goal is clear. It wants to keep its users on its site for as long as possible. But this must not threaten journalistic freedom and independence by undermining their practitioners.”Preserving the media’s watchdog roleFacebook has given no explanation for the six countries chosen for the trial and, although it has established many partnerships with news media, especially via its Facebook Journalism Project, it gave the media in these six countries no warning.The California-based giant’s actions have an impact on democracy and media freedom. Some news websites, whose readership has plummeted since the start of the test, play an essential watchdog role in countries with authoritarian regimes, where journalists not working for media oligarchs often migrate to Facebook. In Serbia, for example, independent media have been gagged by President Aleksandar Vučić and the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) since last May’s presidential election. In Slovakia, the media have had four times fewer interactions (likes, comments, shares) since Facebook launched the Explore Feed, according to Filip Struhárik of the Dennik N news website. “A company that big also has an enormous responsibility and cannot just do as it pleases,” he wrote on Medium. “What managers [at Facebook] consider a small test can cause serious problems in some countries.”With much less access to their readers, some media outlets will be condemned to die. Dina Fernández of the Guatemalan news site Soy502 told the Guardian newspaper: “The Facebook explore tab killed 66% of our traffic. Just destroyed it … years of really hard work were just swept away.” Guillaume Ledit of the French magazine Usbek & Rica points out that Facebook replaced Google several years ago as the main channel by which Internet users get access to the news. This is also the case in Cambodia, one of the six countries, where Facebook has overtaken television as one of the main sources of news, according to Jenni Reid, the Phnom Penh Post website editor.Forced into digital servitude, under growing pressure to swear loyalty to Facebook in order to survive, the media are finding it increasingly impossible to turn back.

hi. Was just looking at medium. Why didn’t we just use the team email and publish our stuff as CC?
like so… https://medium.com/@ObamaWhiteHouse/president-obama-s-2016-state-of-the-union-address-7c06300f9726
Medium
The White House is once again making the full text of the State of the Union available online ahead of the speech, as prepared for delivery…
as in, the white house as an entity
much prefer that
yes! we can. CC is a publication and it can author stories, too 🙂
you still have to login under your own account
you will see two profile icons top right
but the DU talk is not published there
it hasn’t been moved into CC?
i need to move it over
i just noticed we can do that/how to as i was working on it
ah. was a bit confused by that
probably best to hold off looking at DU talk. The copy is one version off
ok!
when i created it, i didn’t realize that publications could publish as themselves.
I’m playing around as well
oh! medium lets you import
so nice!
texted evan. he says he is not busy at all and would love to translate 🙂
next one i’ll try writing and importing
fabulous
yeah. I will do that. Was wondering why you were writing straight on
let’s setup that project in soul, too
because i wanted to try their interface. figure out which way i like to write 🙂
🙂
spoke with buoy. will start work on the project next week. i think it’ll be frontloaded: put the bulk of the time in upfront and then work with them on integration. can discuss at next week’s planning
sounds good
would be good to keep it in mind to put all external meetings on the calendar.
today’s too…
what’s the font you selected for paragraphs?

probably will be more next week

It’s no secret that Brooklyn has been changing. Now, the rapidly gentrifying borough is getting the vigilante it needs — and deserves.
i’ve only just started the first one and it is hilarious. think broad city, but 2 black men in brooklyn making commentary on absurdities of brooklyn.

DAY 1 The co-op community is trying to come up with a governance model to bring coops together there is a conference is Hong Kong to bring coops in Asia into the loop. ‘It’s not about creating an interesting model… we need to succeed’ (use in patreon!) the people who are invisible need to succeed The conference was about changing and dismantling the current systems of power. 3 Ps — PURPOSE, POWER, PEOPLE COLLECTIVE POWER. There is a difference between voice and power — collective voice...

@darshana super sorry but i need to get to the bank before they close at 4. i can continue chatting with you over voice, if you want to note take
let’s chat after? I have a couple of things I can do.
sure i’ll ping you then
walking home. Will ping from there
accepted all of jessica’s small formatting and word changes in the doc
the comments were getting a bit out of hand
ah okay.
i read through micah’s email
he sent an email?
looking
yes
just read
let’s keep writing!!
learning excercise
also learning from orwell
so many many anecdotes
very very personal
ok
leaving for home now
can’t stand the cold
damn PBNYC cycle is accepting submissions https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/48872b523706460ea8a4d93e329feaa0
neither of our districts are listed and they ask you to list. wonder if we can just…enter..
i can join and take notes today @darshana
sounds good!!
will be worth it to tell them about facilitation tweaks
also, I don’t mind taking this one at all if you have urgent stuff to get to.
all the pb ideas http://ideas.pbnyc.org/15/40.70882/-74.00135
2017-11-15
let’s discuss at planning ^^
I have a lunch meeting from 1:30-3 tomorrow. I’m up starting article work early! Just let me know when..
hey. ping when you are around.
hey @darshana. just tackling some buoy stuff this morning
they really are diving into it. on the plus side, it is a short burst, on the downside it is immediate start
i was going to finish typing up these stories so i could get them reviewed. all i need to do today is finish some research, but i can do it tonight
tomorrow i have a meeting in the morning
i think it will be best for me to plan on doing buoy in the mornings
luckily they are morning people so it should be okay in the sense that i can frontload a lot
no problem. How about.. we work independently today. I have lots of little tasks on sprint and will put together the conference presentation so we don’t need to think of it
okay. and write tomorrow?
yeah. thursday, friday
okay. i will need to go in one of those days for buoy
I’ll try to get all the other tasks done today
which is better?
morning?
yeah it would be morning to mid afternoon
friday?
do you want to do some writing this afternoon?
let’s go with your plan. finish off the small things. i need to put in some 4-6 hours on stuff for them
have to try out some static site generators.
cool
I’ll get the other stuff in. Presentation and facilitation writing
we can use the facilitation writing for grant stuff
great
🙂 all set then
would be good to plot out the upcoming grants and use them as guides for one pager etc
planning and writing for thursday, friday
perfect
yep!
i think we should get knight news out this year
we definitely should
the rest require an intro. we can ask for them next year
or later in december
that works
once we do one, the rest should hopefully be easy / require minor reconfiguration
hopefully
yes. hopefully, indeed
once we get the meat of the project stuff on paper, the rest can be tweaked
yup 🙂
I feel good about this facilitation thing
it makes total sense
i feel good. it is a lot but once those cards fall from the backlog i feel like we’ll be in a good space
yep!
me too!
it was a nice puzzle piece find
totally!
it felt like we were trying to artificially craft the teaching thing before
alright. off to get some tea and go to library
god I love this campus
❤️
you need a teaching gig there
2017-11-16
it would seem 😉
mariya is only free monday afternoon, not tuesday
12:45
would that work with your bouy stuff?
buoy
sure.
i can go in the morning. meeting downtown?
or i can work remote that day.
i prefer not to go into offices monday or friday. set some rules
meeting in wall street. Monday 27th, not coming week
I totally agree with the Monday, Friday rules but don’t have the heart to say no to mariya
😞
oh! i was referring to buoy. for her it is fine
cool 🙂
@itsmisscs Hey. some brainstorming today… http://soul.compositescollective.com/t/dn-mini-rabbithole/129
<https://hackmd.io/AwVgpg7AhgxgjFAtAIzAFjotIBsJEAcIAJgGaLwBMxUxEwUBwwQA?both> [brainstorming]
let’s chat tomorrow
will be in orbital by 11
Evan coming by too
I will try to come by 10 actually
get some work in
ping you when I leave tomorrow morning
@darshana i have a standup at 9:15 followed by work session. so probably there closer to 11
Will ping you with how things go today. Will be there either before or after lunch. Def next week, most of my day time needs to go to this project since they want it done by eom.
ok. I’m leaving soon
2017-11-17
we just finished up
going to take mitra for a walk so she’s covered for afternoon.
tomorrow i’m going to be onsite
ok. come on over. I’m at orbital.
Evan is coming by soon to take a look at the docs.
@darshana should be there in 15. ran into neighbor whose leaving. he’s going to make some intros to us for project! also his space is opening up…
oh cool 🙂

damn live.mayfirst.org….video + notepad. if you go there with a jitsi video started (from meet) it ports the video feed over seamlessly
whoa interesting
that's a great concept

@thebestsophist i don’t believe those were covered under vtaiwan but chia hua may have held some smaller deliberations
oh yeah…was thinking of facilitation in general and i suppose the politics of whether they thought about also giving those digital support

@darshana just got in from lunch. need to take mitra to walk. this writing day for me is turning into a bust. i’m sorry for mentioning it as a writing day. 5:30 dinner and lunch chopped it into shards.
i am going to pick up my ends tonight and since i have some flexibility tomorrow, i’ll kick around for the morning
let’s finish planning Talk to NYC then
so we get on the same page for both and can then work

hey <!here>, I'm working on a "Get Involved" section as an entry point, like these:
- https://github.com/edgi-govdata-archiving/overview#get-involved

Just to confirm, is it still cool for liz and I setting up g0v-network github org as a neutral ground for general efforts across cities, and buying g0v.network domain?

Just to confirm, is it still cool for liz and I setting up g0v-network github org as a neutral ground for general efforts across cities, and buying g0v.network domain?
overview - :balloon: Start here for current projects, how to get involved, and joining community calls, a resource for new and veteran members
also, are daily standups still happening, so i can reference that? (and start showing up!)
@patcon we switched to standdown bc i am on a gig, but maybe that’s not really necessary in some ways…there should be times for folks to know when to join
so perhaps we keep 11 and if we take notes and put into discord, i can catch up in the eveningw
Whichever works! A stand down is a written standup?
Also, a weekly open call might be friendlier for new drop-ins? Though that format might require a little thought, if it fits :)
we were thinking of holding ‘office hours’ all Wednesday for people to drop in online or off
have to re-evaluate a but since re-scheduling to make space for consulting stuff..
but yeah…a weekly drop-in set up will be great
@patcon a ‘Get Involved’ section would be SUPER. I like the toronto mesh format. very clear

I'm heading into New Lab today, anyone gonna be there? I also got so mad at the blank page yesterday, i actually wrote a page of single spaced bullet points.
I heard from Beth Coleman about a Knight-funded radical take on Smart Cities conference happening in March in Boston (Harvard?). Audrey said her team can't travel March/April or I'd say we could aim our facilitation training for then. anyways something to consider I'll probably be there talking abt env stuff but I also pitched us for g0v topics

quick thought about Frank Hebbert and Jeff Maki, both formerly of OpenPlans. Now Jeff is at LinkNYC and Frank might have done some work for DOT to crowdsource about commuting journeys for transportation planning -- putting this here to help us gather background on the L-train discussion, we can reach out to these guys, see if there's an open platform we could be encouraging people to mark their transit journeys on as part of figureing out what Brooklyn will do without an L train connection to MN

as for smart city conf, not official, but i worked briefly with Beth Coleman on another event. she is so thoughtful and intentional, that i can't imagine anything but speakers getting in free (if she has a hand)
