katenicholson 2018-01-05 08:49:56
hah jyup.
katenicholson 2018-01-05 08:51:57
people hve been saying it for years— like going back to bucky, victor papanek, etc-- it’s nice to see it finally taking root— likely because of the technologies enabling the climate (non traditional work, etc)
katenicholson 2018-01-05 08:52:40
I promise to dig through my folders soon and send over more fodder if you like this stuff. frameworks + readings, systems thinking etc.

Hackthons: A collection of ideas, thoughts, and articles

This is a share from Han Hackathons as Co-optation Rituals: Socializing Workers and Institutionalizing Innovation in the “New” Economy Hackathons help to form both a vernacular culture inside the social world of digital technology and a repertoire of everyday social and cultural practices in other spaces, institutions, and economies (Coleman, 2010 ). They translate the values of a longstanding hacker subculture into new work norms, socializing workers to create new products and institutiona...

Hey. Things I edited on DU talk (don’t know if they send you edits)…
The #1 principle of the g0v community is that no one is or represents the g0v community.
From papers and work of Ahmed El Hady, Princeton U. and Darshana Narayanan Composites Collective
dzn 01:56:01
All set on DU talk
dzn 02:11:24
Also, done with wework one. Changes there…
How have we come to this crisis — ‘NYC’s local political system is in need of updating. There are efforts underway spearheaded by BetaNYC and Manhattan Borough president to “update” the community boards. We, at Composites Collective, remain optimistic for the future of New York City.’

Changed out the vTaiwan meeting space pic for the new one (the one in the Civicist)


Added Liz’s name to acknowledgements

dzn 03:54:50

dzn 03:55:01
I’m ready to get back to it whenever you are
itsmisscs 03:55:42

I think my stupid phone just died on me
dzn 04:39:13
for good
itsmisscs 04:39:20
oh no!
dzn 04:39:28
so weird
itsmisscs 04:39:42
battery?
itsmisscs 04:39:45
could be the cold
dzn 04:40:23
I don’t know
Try bending screen or applying weird pressure? I've had two phone where some looseness could be fixed with pressure. Around screen or plugged-in USB adapter should give leverage on internals
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
dzn 04:40:26
so strange
itsmisscs 04:40:34
hopefully just the cold
dzn 04:40:35
I left it charge. Let’s see…
dzn 04:42:06
get started?
itsmisscs 04:42:57
yes…2 secs. just putting coffee on. suddenly got way exhausted. will join in appear in

I think I might just walk towards Orbital
itsmisscs 00:52:08
I am here at orbital. Just ordered lunch from a new spot on rivington. Tongkatsu :)

regarding the license discussion, Wendy Chun (who we heard at CyberConf) in "On Sourcery" cites
>Niva Elkin-Koren in “Creative Commons: A Skeptical View of a Worthy Project"

>[Sharealike] “does not aim at creating a public domain, at least not in the strict legal sense of a regime that is free of any exclusive proprietary rights. The strategy is entirely dependent upon a proprietary regime and drives its legal force from its existence. The normative framework assumes that it is possible to replace existing practices of producing and distributing informational works but relying on the existing property regime. The underlying assumption is that if intellectual-property rights remain the same, but rights are exercised differently by their owners, free culture would emerge.
lizbarry 01:02:03
This is regarding the US social movement's emphasis on the commons and GPL vs the Asian context of g0v which public domains everything, which is rather more Maoist, in which individuals are not offered similar rights. This is my preliminary understanding.
lizbarry 01:03:51
The Western context for sharealike licenses rests (imo) Elinor Ostrom's theories of commons management. a comment on how property can be held outside of states and markets.

I read this quick blog https://www.plutobooks.com/blog/elinor-ostrom-advice-jeremy-corbyn/ and found:
"Rather boldly, her Nobel lecture was entitled ‘Beyond Markets and States’. She believed that much economic activity could be undertaken directly by communities, bypassing both centralised state control and market activity. This notion of an element of collective ownership is more and more important in our economy."
Back to my thoughts, civic tech in asia is working in the context of a centralized state. Need to bring in anarchist theory.
lizbarry 01:05:21
The next phase of sorting this out is to go through values. The values which bring people together to work on something, the value which emerges from the work
lizbarry 01:32:23
Sorry tangent: Did you even hear about how Facebook originally had a "user vote" in its corporate documents, and how the third and last vote went down in 2012? https://techcrunch.com/2012/12/09/vote-on-facebook-changes/
lizbarry 01:33:43
i found that from reading today's article on how Facebook is going to roll out a new "global privacy settings hub" after pressure from the EU's GDPR https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/24/facebook-to-roll-out-global-privacy-settings-hub-thanks-to-gdpr/
