#facilitation-fest-nyc
2018-05-01
that would be cool if possible
yes I'm aware
Since the sloan money would pass through Sarapis I could create a page on the sarapis.org site with basic info and/or I could create an Open Collective page under the Sarapis Host Organization https://opencollective.com/sarapisorg#
Noel’s feedback on using the vtaiwan url — ‘There should be a local page. If not, you need to talk about how this money can help build that page...’
@sylin @fang @olivebranch.a @au Can we please get bios and pictures for the training website please. We will be promoting the event using the website, pointing potential sponsors and media to it, and eventually hosting the training videos there. This is the template we will use — https://nyc.g0v.network/
Let’s talk about this on 10PM/AM call?
Audrey Tang, a civic hacker and Taiwan’s Digital Minister in charge of Social Innovation, is known for revitalizing global open source communities such as Perl and Haskell. Audrey served on Taiwan national development council’s open data committee and K-12 curriculum committee; and led the country’s first e-Rulemaking project. Prior to joining the cabinet, Audrey was a consultant with Apple on computational linguistics, with Oxford University Press on crowd lexicography, and with Socialtext on social interaction design.

Thank you!
Thank you!
If you need any more details, we can discuss it on our Wednesday call
what does he mean by local page?
a page on the vnetwork site?
@katehnicholson do you do logo designs? i feel like our lil page needs a logo of sorts…could be simple and mostly text
Not generally but let’s talk tomorrow. I can probably get a friend or if if it’s simple and I have a sec, can try something.
Hey - let me know your needs re logo.
something that speaks to our project and is not the vtaiwan website
Sent to Joe at AA and David the Director of American Assembly.
Noel came back with some good suggestions for the Sloan cover letter
will work on that and send around a note for extra eyes.
okay. so the site we are working on would satisfy that

Hi folks, what does everyone's Friday afternoon in NYC schedules look like? Please respond to thread, thanks! @itsmisscs @darshana @devin @katehnicholson @nathan.p.storey and anyone else i forgot to mention ❤️
Will be at Orbital early afternoon onward
I can make it. 2PM onwards.
Free around 3.
Great! Let's aim for 3pm or as soon thereafter as possible!
Unfortunately I can’t make it tomorrow or the next Friday. I don’t need to insert myself into the decision making process of who gets an invite - mainly want to contribute suggestions and provide any info about nyc gov that may be helpful. Since I have limited/unpredictable time availability I’m happy to contribute when I can as long as it’s useful.
I’ll be ready to send an invite out to any of the people from my list once the invite list is finalized.
Thx nathan. Hopefully we'll come up with an easy way for you to contribute knowledge on the invite list without it taking too much time. 🙂

Hi all - i just moved and am in major catch up mode on a few fronts, so unfortunately don’t have bandwidth tomorrow. Im planning to come next friday. Ill chime in if I see any opportunities to help out until then, otherwise I look forward to coming on board next week.
thanks Kate! we'll try to be clearer about where a good spot to pitch in might be 🙂 thanks so much for your help last week with editing the form!
I have a last-minute appointment with some friends to open a bank account at 3:30-5pm today :(
@devin please let us know when you are here so we can buzz you in
Thx. 15 minish for me. What should I bring? Coissants?

ok i did tiny edits and i'm already done, thank you so much for overhauling this! @itsmisscs, i'm wondering if you can put an eyeball on this now?👀👁️👓👁️🗨️🕶️
Took a look @darshana and @lizbarry 💯 My one question is whether it can be on behalf of g0v Network. Your earlier version listed it this way, D.
Is there anything else that goes with the application to the Sloan Foundation?

morning @patcon, could you setup a subdomain for the site? Two Friday’s ago agreed to go with `training.g0v.network` for this first version.
I created a new repo for training.g0v.network. I was a bit frustrated with Jekyll site when I sat down to work on it. So…I did what every dev should not do and I started clean with a static site generator called Gatsby. It functions similarly, static markdown content, can be autodeployed.
For speed, I set it up on Netlfy (a heroku for static sites) which also powers a nifty little CMS setup for admin folks (can demo). We can easily point Netlify to custom DNS or I can move the contents of the site into the other repo. Here’s how we can setup Gatsby with Heroku https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/deploy-gatsby/#heroku.

i've heard great things about netlify, so 👍
Cool beans. I have you admin access. I can also set it and send you details for DNS.
okie doke, i'll check email and get custom domains set up on netlify. thanks!
ok done in aws route53, but DNS not showing up yet 🙂
thanks, @patcon! waiting by for DNS 👩🚀🏾
@olivebranch.a @fang @sylin do you have any photos from a prior PO workshop? thanks in advance!

Here’s the completed site with the content areas we discussed on Friday—link to fill out the application, link to sponsorship prospectus. https://trainingg0vnetwork.netlify.com. Anyone can edit any of the content in Github https://github.com/g0v-network/training.g0v.network. Most everything is in `data` or `content` with some minor exceptions. Any code committed to `master` will auto deploy. I’ve asked @patcon to setup the agreed upon subdomain for the project.

WOW!!!!!!!
For @patcon, the criteria is "the capacity and influence to deploy participatory processes at scale; including, government officials from cities worldwide, community organizers, and academics."

re: g0v.network email.
great idea! but we're on route53, and they don't do email forwarding 😞
i can add us to mayfirst. we can all be admins which will give us access to admin email address etc
for now, we can use https://improvmx.com/ to forward all incoming email addresses to g0v.network@googlegroups.com. that'll keep a record outside individual mailboxes for posterity
on plus side we’ll get a nextcloud instance and unlimited email addresses
Great ++ all for it
also, would love to stay thoughtful on wearing the banner of "g0v.network" judiciously -- we're not yet able to organize a community like theirs, so it feels a little funny for a handful of us to wear the whole big name, if that makes sense 🙂
also, should the g0v.network@googlegroups.com list be public or private?
(google groups can be renamed, so if we decide we want a public mailbox later, we can switcheroo it and vacate the high-level namespace)
public makes sense to me. private for now because of applications?
open by default 
ok, so this improvmx.com service isn't working. options: 1) switch domain to a place with email forwarding, or 2) subscribe to something like https://forwardmx.io/pricing for $9/year
any objection to (2)? or should we do a domain xfer to a shared account real quick, with email forwarding?
any objection to (2)? or should we do a domain xfer to a shared account real quick, with email forwarding?
I'd vote for any email address --> google group be a private group. You never know what people are going to send and people don't generally associate email with publishing/public.
also - I'm not particularly comfortable with us claiming personal g0v.network email addresses at this point either. I'd keep it general.
yep, we'd have to make a larger effort to communicate how we work. my impression is g0v has the constant work of socializing the "we are not a normal group" thing. but happy to kick the can on that for now
i agree with general
I'll create an account on forwardmx.io
but could also see city specific email addy’s…we are too small for such asbtractions. one inbox for all
my credit is shit, so might be safer if someone with a better credit card attaches theirs, but seems i don't need one for now
re: username / password (see link to credential library trello card below)
Sarapis has a free/nonprofit Google Apps account that could host email if needed.
If we’re between Google and Mayfirst, can we go with a service aligned with our values? You can use IMAP to receive your mail in your google inbox and we can create a google user, if we so desire
multiple people can have admin rights to the hosting order easily
definitely fine with me
sorry, is it ok if i just use this forwardmx? i just feel close, and i've shared the password here so everyone can have access, so it feels nice and accessible to all 🙂
also fine with me. Just don't want to see you paying for something we can get vfree but maybe it's free so - yay progress. 🙂
heh, no unfortunately not free, but just something we can all share credentials to, which i really love!
hopefully will be ready to go in 300 seconds

ah man, this is laaaame. the update of mx records just isn't showing up yet. supposedly they advise up to 48 hours, but i've never seen it take so long
I've got to run to have a meeting, but I've linked my personal AWS account credentials in the trello card above if someone wants to go into AWS and transfer the domain to another shared account. I'd greatly prefer that if it's being transferred, it gets a quick +1 from someone, and that it go to an account with credentials that can be linked in that doc 🙂 but i'll let it to y'all!

I am finishing up a PR for work then I can look into it if someone hasn’t. on mayfirst we each have our own accounts with same admin access to hosting order. i don’t think we should share the admin account for our servers publicly.
@itsmisscs def whatever works, but it's not public -- it's in a google doc with locked down access to just some select few -- just to make one simple level of access-control for now. all-or-nothing for passwords until we outgrow that 🙂
👀 that’s public #deepstate 😉
i switched nameservers in route 53….taking a bit. going to take the pup out

Should we have an airtable form for training.g0v signups or just direct to g0v.network for “email updates” button?
Hey - I have a sick kid on my hands today, so may not have a chance to add email addresses to the outreach document until later tonight
no problem! Hope kiddo feels better soon 💗
Hi - I added contact info for the people from my list. Missing contact info for Gale Brewer, Carlos Menchaca, and Vlada Kenniff, but I can try to get it if needed.
I can get that info. Meeting Noel on Thursday. Thanks a lot @nathan.p.storey for adding the rest!
Hi @lizbarry @itsmisscs @patcon @devin I’m starting a new thread so we can discuss what is need to submit the Sloan grant.
I see the comments on using the group name for submission. My mistake. Sorry! I wrote my name down at the very beginning when this was a more informal ask and then didn’t think about it until now. I will put down all of our names as Principal Investigators (we can’t just put a group name down since they need to know who to hold accountable). I will ask Noel if it’s ok just to use the group email or if a point person is needed for correspondence.
I am still interested in the group format
i just told my non-profit that my name won't be mentioned on this (as we also work with Sloane), so this is not a great solution for me as i'd have to go back and re-disclose conflict of interest with my nonprofit
We are a group, and this is how we can push philanthropy along, by working as a collective. Using a group name, and a group email.
we have a group email address now, too so we don’t have to use talkto
It’s not my understanding of how grants work but we can try. I’ll put group name and send
Also, would be good if everyone went through the list of promises we made and put their name against the outcome that they are willing to be in-charge of/work on. Anything that is not claimed, we should consider removing.
We’ve promised quite a bit
video, manual, wiki, online measures, follow-up calls etc.
Thanks for shepherding this D. I agree its important that we look at the outcomes, i'll go do that now. The name thing is also important, and an moment of slippage that can pose a threat to collective dynamics. ❤️
🙂
Two other questions:
- thoughts on proposed end time? (I’m guessing that is something like a timeline for completion)
- Should we ask for more than $15,000. That money was for the event and video alone. We have included quite a bit beyond.

@itsmisscs website looks great!! To add it to the grant and send today or tomorrow, we need one quick round of edits or we can include it as a work in progress that is part of the grant ask (suggestion from Noel when we didn’t have a final website to show). Thoughts?
Add it into the grant. I can make some edits tonight. Please feel free to edit any and all content. I just stubbed stuff in to provide an idea of how it tells the story
thanks! 🙂
Great! I can take a look at content.
Other kinds of feedback, how would you like?
Github issues are good. That way there’s accountability and a trail.
👍🏾
Known issues i should move over to GH after work

@devin will you take a look at the sponsorship bit on the g0v.network website please and see if that looks fine to you. Thanks for putting together the training content!! Since g0v.network is up and running let’s just use this for the application?
The text is fine. The top level menu links don't all seem to work.
they should scroll to containers but it isn’t ideally…stops too far up. Can replace those…use regular links for now.
update: Noel wants to meet on Thursday morning to workshop the sloan submission and make sure we get everything right. Any edits you want to make, do before that please (also, don’t forget to take a look at the outcomes list). Tx!

Add it into the grant. I can make some edits tonight. Please feel free to edit any and all content. I just stubbed stuff in to provide an idea of how it tells the story
thanks! 🙂
no problem! Hope kiddo feels better soon 💗
Great! I can take a look at content.
I am finishing up a PR for work then I can look into it if someone hasn’t. on mayfirst we each have our own accounts with same admin access to hosting order. i don’t think we should share the admin account for our servers publicly.
Other kinds of feedback, how would you like?
Github issues are good. That way there’s accountability and a trail.
👍🏾
Known issues i should move over to GH after work

@devin will you take a look at the sponsorship bit on the g0v.network website please and see if that looks fine to you. Thanks for putting together the training content!! Since g0v.network is up and running let’s just use this for the application?
The text is fine. The top level menu links don't all seem to work.

@itsmisscs def whatever works, but it's not public -- it's in a google doc with locked down access to just some select few -- just to make one simple level of access-control for now. all-or-nothing for passwords until we outgrow that 🙂
they should scroll to containers but it isn’t ideally…stops too far up. Can replace those…use regular links for now.
👀 that’s public #deepstate 😉
Folks (@patcon @devin @lizbarry @darshana ) what should the group email be…`algo@g0v.network`
nobodies?
northamerica? hello? hi?
I'd vote for hi@ or info@
i switched nameservers in route 53….taking a bit. going to take the pup out

my 2c would be resolution =< "north america" 🙂 i'd love to stay mindful that the distinction between g0v.network and g0v.tw will not be clear to people who come across it -- we even sound "higher up". what about mapping `nyc.training@g0v.network => g0v-network@googlegroups.com` because we can always tweak-alias or rename googlegroup down the road
my preference would be below, but whatever you think best, given about context: 🙂
nyc.training > nyc > northamerica > americas >>> info > hi etc
my preference would be below, but whatever you think best, given about context: 🙂
nyc.training > nyc > northamerica > americas >>> info > hi etc
tbh I'm pretty uncomfortable with the g0v.network framing because we don't have a shared statement about who we are, what we want, and how people can join us, what are our shared values, what responsibilities we're taking for the brand, how can we be held accountable, etc.
as such - I'd agree that nyc-training@ would be best - keeps it specific to this event.

Hi - I added contact info for the people from my list. Missing contact info for Gale Brewer, Carlos Menchaca, and Vlada Kenniff, but I can try to get it if needed.
update: Noel wants to meet on Thursday morning to workshop the sloan submission and make sure we get everything right. Any edits you want to make, do before that please (also, don’t forget to take a look at the outcomes list). Tx!
I can get that info. Meeting Noel on Thursday. Thanks a lot @nathan.p.storey for adding the rest!

Oh! Just thought of another potential invite. Somebody from the Coro New York Leadership Center. They have worked in nyc gov and non-profit leadership development for decades. I did a training there once that was great. I have a contact there if you are interested. Check out their theory of change: https://coronewyork.org/about-coro/coros-theory-of-change/

Perpetrators of ACCIDENTS due to drunk driving always arouse public fury. Three such notorious cases are those of Yeh Kuan-heng (葉冠亨), nicknamed “Master Yeh” because of his wealthy background, British businessman Zain Dean and, most recently, a hostess who worked at the Golden Jaguar club in Taichung.

Bodystorming is a technique sometimes used in interaction design or as a creativity technique. The idea is to imagine what it would be like if the product existed, and act as though it exists, ideally in the place it would be used. It is going through an idea with improvised artifacts and physical activities to envision a solution. This User Experience Design (UXD) technique is ideal to design physical spaces (e.g. the interior design of a shop) but can also be used to design physical products or software.
Ash at CIID
Tim Brown of IDEO speaks here on the importance of the (work/play?) environment used by leading design teams worldwide. Closely connected is the ideation method called Bodystorming, a complimentary to Brainstorming, which we practiced at CIID recently. We borrowed the challenge of building a ‘Cartoon House’ from early Xerox PARC attempts to use the process to envision future technologies. Bill Verplank was our principal instructor, guide and crit for the mini-project. Bodystorming is essentially an immersive ideation process for groups, where simulation, role-playing, play acting and interactive prototyping become the materials for design. It takes the design group of of the studio and into the real world where design creations live, amongst people with real problems and desires. Nevertheless, this world is an elaborate simulation designed for the team to live with those needs/problems/desires rather than simply ‘talk’ about them. Ideas for solutions are ‘built’, not sketched, taking full of the scalability of paper prototyping techniques. The solutions are then placed context, used (in simulation), new insights and problems derived, and the process is repeated all over again. Consequent iterations serve to move the team through a remarkable range of refinement in ideas. An interesting connection here is Brend Laurel’s work positioning design as theatre, which I would like to explore more here sometime. Our team worked on a futuristic living room concept design based on the persona of Jason – a married twenty-something Taiwanese male, living alone and away from his wife Janice while studying in Copenhagen. Technologies possibly 20 years into the future were considered. In addressing Jason’s needs and desires, the living room was designed to help Jason better manage his long-distance relationship, provide ready outlets to his strong technological and gaming interests, and promote his social life in a new city with a very different culture than his own. In presenting the concept to Bill and team of teachers, we enacted out a typical weekday evening in the life of Jason, therefore demonstrating the use of the many technologies embedded into his living room. Jason in his simulated living room. Janice is 'generated' next to Jason on his memory couch for an evening chat. Widgets of all kinds populate Jason's interactive window. A wall for idea generation while bodystorming. Simulation of VR video game playable on Jason's living room table.

@devin what’s the plan with media event on 13th https://trello.com/c/VXKbbSij
Good morning! I'm looking forward to getting caught up here and on the Trello and in the docs. I have some family stuff for the next 3 hours and then will check in
Morning. When do we want to sync to work on the script?
I am out for the day sadly but will leave notes in trello for sloan, which is my news for the week
2018-05-13
What's your schedule today @itsmisscs? I'll also be available tmrw early afternoon thru 7pm
I’m around and working today. I wanted to get a move on the critical items we agreed on yesterday then get going on invites and sponsor money. I will also be working tomorrow. Perhaps we connect then on the script?
I feel a little too flustered by the other smaller pieces to focus on content today. Will feel better knowing we have invites and money requests out in the world.
Ok sounds like I need to first get caught up on the trello
I'm arranging with PatCon to review the spreadsheet for invitations, wanna get on a phone call?

@lizbarry @devin @itsmisscs @patcon starting new thread for Sloan grant.
I have made last and (hopefully!) final edit to sloan grant.
I think this part is good to go. Noel wants to send it to his person at sloan ASAP. I will have it out by tomorrow with our sponsorship doc.
Sloan needs names with the cover letter, we can’t get by with group name and email. @lizbarry you are not comfortable putting your name on? Who else does not want their name on?
They also need a budget sheet (which we can send later) — https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Se3noI_2vfA0YKO0HNw1Pd5TPdBOd3s5rqJoBJ9nWMA/edit#gid=0
we can ask for some $ for the time we put into this. What are thoughts on this?
According to Noel, a fair asking price is 3K for 1 month. He said for one main organizer, but we can ask the same amount and just split it. Actually, I am going to try for $1000 each. @lizbarry can you accept money for the project?
we should also ask for $ for each of the outcome projects—video, manual, wiki. What amount is acceptable?
@itsmisscs update on website fixes?
Finishing up but in tonight.
Thanks for the updates on the grant.
Video is 3-5k. Manual and wiki I am not certain. We should factor server costs of 20$ per month.
sounds good. Thanks!!
Thank you D!
I will check in on my side abt name
I expect / hope to hear back early AM. If I don't maybe you guys go ahead without me on this
We have a bit of time. As long as it’s tomorrow..
seems like i can go on solo as an individual (not listed as staff member of Public Lab, for instance). Can you share what the name of the program officer at Sloane is? thanks! and then i think it's GTG
cool! Shall I put your name in as one of the PIs then?
The person’s name is Justin I think
can ask Noel
great, thanks!
Hi @darshana, thanks for pushing on this. how much later will we be able to send this budget sheet?
He wants it all together 😞
working on it now
almost done!
take a look?
yes?

Hi organizers, just FYI i've heard back from my Consensys connection who CC'd in a "c-level" from the company, and Eric Gordon from Engagement Lab has a question about "if there's only one day i could attend, which should it be". Looking forward to working on these tmrw

@lizbarry Thanks!! Got yours 🙂
impressed I am!!
lol i should really reformat. had the same one for like....years
try this for CV formatting
a LaTeX skin
saved my life
they have some good templates!
Where can i submit an issue about the speaker's image ratios on http://training.g0v.network/?
@itsmisscs I added an issue on Fang’s request
also, sloan will probably look at website tomorrow.
@lizbarry @itsmisscs if you have time tomorrow, maybe we can all do some website work? I’d like to work on some of the content, @lizbarry will be awesome if we can work together on that part. I am free any time after lunch.
Ok Team Toronto will open a video link!
excellent!! 🙂
@lizbarry updated budget sheet and 1-pager
- 💥1
some budget changes @devin convinced me that reception will not cost that much and that we should probably keep things under 20k
nice
@lizbarry saw the comments you made on the google doc. It’s a bit outdated. Started working on word to get thir formatting correct
ok no prob
if it looks ok to you, we are good to go!
your comma usage is captivating
lol. I call it artistic license
I can’t figure out how to get into my personal g0v.network email 😞 so used my regular email plus common one
that's too bad, but i suppose it's not the end of the world
if you give me some tips I can fix that now 🙂
how did you do it?
let me find the instructions.....will be a minute real quick
ok!
Thanks thanks
ah! got your email. that explains it. Mine has CS’s email on it (like yours has ebarry@)
wires got crossed
ok i did the thing. i am receiveing mail but my outgoing messages when i set my own address to be nyctraining@g0v.network are not sending yet
I am receiving email too. Can’t send either
are you able to log into hi@talkto.nyc? I can’t seem to
what is the website to go to to check mail there? i hope i didn't mess up any password stuff
ok i got the "sending as nyctraining@g0v.network" to work. had to go back into gmail settings and update password
ok i don't know how to check webmail for hi@talkto.nyc, but it's still sending and receiving from my ebarry@gmail.com account perfectly. @darshana, can you run a check on it?
I can’t seem to access the hi@ account
I am receiving the training@ emails in my gmail inbox though!!
did you get my recent series of tests to hi@ to and from myself?
hi@ or training@
?
_just_ now, hi@
don’t think so
what did you say
ah ok. so seems like there's a broken pipe on that one.
subject line: "testing send-as hi@talkto.nyc"\
and subject line: "testing if i still get this! (might have messed something up)"
didn’t get that one
lol
nope. not that one either
BUT.. nyctraining works!!
well you missed a scintillating conversation between me and myself
ok let's fix it tmrw, @itsmisscs & @patcon and i together ALL DAY
hahahahaha. I’d hate to get in the way of that (you and yourself I mean)
cool cool. Thanks!!
I’ll send Noel stuff now and cc nyctraining@
ok so do you want to do any more tests of the nyctraining@g0v.network?
i'm about to fall out of my chair with sedentary-ness
that seems to work!
is it nice walking weather in toronto??
sweet, thanks for shipping this tonight! 
👍 💪
👍 💪
any time!! I can’t wait to ship this off. It’s been a WHILE
it was warm today but our hemisphere has turned our backs on the sun
hopefully all the work pays off (literally!)
Wow Liz. Trigger happy much?
'night D!
night!
👀
i can't look away
it’s my favorite!!
sooo good.
that's mesmerizing ok i have to force quit this day now ❤️
I sent directions on how to send. You have to set it up in your gmail.
That's how to set up your gmail. If you have issues, ping me and we can work on it.
No one has a personal g0v account. We are using mail forwarding. Everything goes in and out of your email address (gmail accounts for most of you).
thanks CS!
lol. I call it artistic license
that's too bad, but i suppose it's not the end of the world
ok great! it looks nice and spiffy on one page
It worked out but how I hate word!!

I am receiving email too. Can’t send either
are you able to log into hi@talkto.nyc? I can’t seem to
what is the website to go to to check mail there? i hope i didn't mess up any password stuff
ok i got the "sending as nyctraining@g0v.network" to work. had to go back into gmail settings and update password
lol i should really reformat. had the same one for like....years
ok i don't know how to check webmail for hi@talkto.nyc, but it's still sending and receiving from my ebarry@gmail.com account perfectly. @darshana, can you run a check on it?
I can’t seem to access the hi@ account
I am receiving the training@ emails in my gmail inbox though!!

did you get my recent series of tests to hi@ to and from myself?
hi@ or training@
?
_just_ now, hi@
don’t think so
what did you say
ah ok. so seems like there's a broken pipe on that one.
subject line: "testing send-as hi@talkto.nyc"\
and subject line: "testing if i still get this! (might have messed something up)"
didn’t get that one
lol

nope. not that one either
BUT.. nyctraining works!!
well you missed a scintillating conversation between me and myself
ok let's fix it tmrw, @itsmisscs & @patcon and i together ALL DAY

I sent directions on how to send. You have to set it up in your gmail.
CS
All email forwards to your personal account. To send mail using the account through gmail, following these directions https://github.com/g0vNYC/hub/blob/3f9822dd64ef94fb745646eb9705875e7faa4b5f/email-setup.md#configure-your-account-to-send-mail-as-your-project-email-account. Use the username and password you received in DM.
That's how to set up your gmail. If you have issues, ping me and we can work on it.
No one has a personal g0v account. We are using mail forwarding. Everything goes in and out of your email address (gmail accounts for most of you).
There's no mayfirst webmail for g0v accounts. It's all forwarding to personal accounts.
If you get it in your personal account, you are set. Follow the directions in github to allow you to send mail as the email addy.
@itsmisscs the email I received had your email on it not mine
Which one?
is this the dm with username and password?
I just sent the Sloan stuff off. Phew! I hope this amounts to something.
@itsmisscs getting the nyctraining@ emails so no rush on the rest
@itsmisscs I added an issue on Fang’s request
also, sloan will probably look at website tomorrow.
@lizbarry @itsmisscs if you have time tomorrow, maybe we can all do some website work? I’d like to work on some of the content, @lizbarry will be awesome if we can work together on that part. I am free any time after lunch.
Ok Team Toronto will open a video link!

starting new thread for sloan grant updates
so we heard back from Sloan (look in nyctraining@ email)
Hey, Noel - sounds like a great opportunity, but too far afield from my core focus on data and computational skills for me to be able to sell in the context of our civic program at Sloan (at least as currently constituted). Sorry I can’t be of direct help - are there other funders you’re thinking of?
😞
Let’s send around EVERYWHERE
also, I’ll chat with Noel and see if we can re-work for sloan
we have data and computation!
@lizbarry @itsmisscs @devin @patcon any ideas for more places
Noel also suggested Craigslist Foundation

It looks like PDIS is organising this event 😛

It will be a great help if you can clearly write something like “this is event is organised by the New York City node of the global g0v network, BetaNYC and American Assembly” as described in your invitation letter

@lizbarry @itsmisscs @patcon @devin starting a new thread for the ticketing stuff
@devin and I put together an eventbrite page today. Feedback please — https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vtaiwan-open-consultation-participation-officers-training-tickets-46243627936. It’s published so you can view it but can be edited.
one thought — shall we just send everyone in tier 1 the invite and not do the application?
that’s 54 people
we selected these people pretty carefully and many have expressed interest in coming already, what if we just see who buys tickets? We are running up against the dates pretty close, will be good to get this sealed.
I saw a tiny letter registration a few days ago in the shared email. Are folks using that for the initial invite? We have a mailchimp from a while ago too we can use.
Just to keep things moving I added our attendees to the g0v.network mailchimp. There are 40 people with rank 1 and email addresses.
i would think so, yes. ping @itsmisscs ?
Yes
is the $200 ticket price enough to cover minimum costs ?
@devin I had setup a tiny letter since it’s simpler but if we have mail chimp already, go for it. Didn’t know we had an account
$250 would be more comfortable but worried that might turn away people
Sliding scale?
200-250?
i mean, $200 is already high...
i think we should just ask for what we need
if it's $250 that's not a lot different.
we're only going to be able to sell like 22 or 24 tickets total after all organizers are in
I’m up for giving up my seat. I don’t need to be in the activities. Listening will be good
6K is our minimum, that's $250*24 seats
250 would definitely be safer
we can do that and see what happens
sell 25 instead of 30?
also, after going over the PO stuff with Fang I think the training will be most useful to govt and people who work with govt
we can push through those channels a bit more heavily as a professional development thing

alright -- reading now, thanks
One thing I forgot to comment on, I didn't know how to add the receipt thing based on workshop structure. See if you can do better?
Also, some of those tools will only mentioned, others covered in detail. I just wrote the whole lot in there
Thanks @lizbarry
alright, i mucked around quite a bit in the first paragraph, check it out
be back in half an hour or so
hi hi. Cleaned it up so we can fit everything on one page and got the budget stuff ready
looking good I think, Check if you can. Not a biggie otherwise. Thanks for your writing! Blended that into condensed first paragraph.
Will send it out tomorrow morning

@darshana @lizbarry @devin @patcon Great news from the Awesome foundation! Our submission is in the final rounds. They would like to set up a call
```The trustees of the Awesome Foundation - NYC chapter met last week to review applications for the June grant, and your application was among a handful that stood out.
We have a couple of follow-up questions about your project. I would love to set up a quick Skype call of about 15 - 20 minutes.
Are there any times this afternoon, tomorrow, or at the latest Wednesday that would work for you?

The email went to `hi@talktonyc`
nice
Awesome!! Literally!!
oh wow. Excellent!!
Those pictures did the trick. Seriously! Was then only thing I changed from round 1.
I can hop on call at any time
🙂
@itsmisscs the application went out in our names let’s coordinate, get on this call and get that $$!
Also, I can’t seem to sign into the hi@ account. Help @itsmisscs. tx!
Actually, I just looked… it went out as CC but @lizbarry @patcon your names in there too.
ok i'm in Houston through wednesday night. feel free to have without me or to schedule thurs/fri
Will be back at computer in 20-30 min. Then will look @darshana
They say latest Wed, so let’s try for before that? We’ll wax eloquent about you on call @lizbarry 🙂
The application content is here — https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NGLamy4arKORjYTyx-CvuMQJhnWOUYd08njdoS1gIlw/edit#
@itsmisscs No luck accessing the hi@ email so you will have to coordinate. I can do before 12:30PM and after 3PM tomorrow. Wednesday any time before 5PM is fine. Thanks!
sent off email
@darshana can you get to https://roundcube.mayfirst.org/? once you are there, does the lastpass info show?
The info shows but can't login.
What time did you suggest for awesome? I need to fit in a meeting. Will work around the times you gave them. Thanks sending email.
If you all want me to attend I'm happy to do it Tuesday - pretty busy Wednesday. Also happy to let you all take it. 🙂
@devin maybe we just take this one? Will be easier I think since they have our names and pictures from the Taiwan trip. That ok?
@itsmisscs Don’t worry about troubleshooting email. It’s something on my end. I can see the email you sent on my phone now so password is not the issue. I’ll take care of it.
@darshana added to shared cal. Call is tomorrow at 10am. Please add Kat on Skype. Her username is also in the event details.
@itsmisscs I saw the email. Added info. Tx!
See you on the call tomorrow @darshana. I re-read the application content.
Thanks for re-submitting for us. Ex-ci-ting to get to this stage. Perhaps this is a sign of what’s to come with Sloan 🤞🏾
Super positive call
yep 🙂 Should have told her about Tina!!
oh! damn. i think it went well
also they will be such amplifiers for the projects
we have to send her the materials anyway (for the reception etc.)
yes!!!
will be great
what is the plan for that? are we putting together a paperless post or eventbrighte or mailchimp?
we can just do the same thing we do for tickets with reception
mailchimp+eventbrite?
yeah. the eventbrite is free
When are we planning to send out the first round of invites?
yesterday
jokes aside. Thanks for reminder @devin. How about we email the people have on our individual lists the eventbrite?
For me that would be Micah, BetaNYC, American Assembly
I can do Christina Xu as well
Why not send it out to all the rank=1
?
That would be ideal, I thought we were slow on that cause of coordination hitches
I can send out an email with a link to the eventbrite via mailchimp. I just need the content for the email.
I can send you something today
Great - and are we linking to the eventbrite or the expression of interest? Do we need to discuss that part further?
that is the part we hadn’t decided on
I’m happy to just send out to group 1 without needing them to fill out anything. Maybe we can do the expression of interest for 2 and 3.
Thoughts on adding https://www.navapbc.com/ to group 1?
after getting to know the PO part better, I think they will really benefit from it
def expression of interest for 2 and 3. send group 1 the link to register. ++
@devin @itsmisscs Draft for invitation email — https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Oc8fbueMW5LkK5J2-bJ_CxIMZZVpXFexavpusYdyYE/edit
can we also have the person who put down the contact name, email separately?
Yes Nathan has offered to do thst for his names and I'll do it for mine.
excellent. Then we are mostly set.
Let’s coordinate tomorrow and get this out the door?
We have to add a line about the video bit either in eventbrite or email
also, price is $250
and number of tickets 25
@devin I don’t remember if the eventbrite account is a common one or your personal one
It's common
The information is in super secret google doc.

before replying I wanted to check-in to see if we’d gotta back to Haowei Wei’s email. If not, I’ll reply back.
@devin any plans on the media front for the 13th?
I've spoken with people at NPR and Gotham Gazette about doing something.
For Gotham Gazette, they'll publish an event preview piece if we write it.
for NPR they're interested in interviewing Audrey.
I'd like to do a broader media event but still lack clarity on who would participate. Seems like Audrey is available the 12th for interviews while the workshop is going on and Avross is around til the 18th?
Is there a point person I should coordinate with on the Taiwan team? That's probably the best way forward at this point.
@sylin is the point person on schedules
Okay. Will wait to hear confirmation from @sylin about schedules to reply back. Email can go out tonight.
Yes
Audrey will be available on the 12th, and Avross will be around til 18th
Is there anyone else in your party that should be speaking to the press or just them?
Who are you looking for?
I'm trying to figure out which types of journalists to reach out to for the visit.
Considering that schedules are tight and journalists aren't always flexible with time, the more people who make themselves available for interviews the better.
Note that we don’t need to be arranged with press. We will be happy to have a quiet visit, especially Audrey.
And if certainly people are particularly concenred with certain topics - then we can try to place them with journalists that are also interested in those topics.
Other people, on the other hand, like Avross, Fang-jui can be front facing
(Will come back to you in few hours)
ok thx

lots of opportunities for feedback once we are at a higher level of detail so i’d love to hear from all of you
ALSO, fun fact. @t was my first college roommate!
haha hi kate! omg yay you’re here too!
wow. small world 🙂
@sylin @fang @anyone else joining meeting, would it be ok if we started at 10:30PM today?
10:30 is fine for me. Tomorrow I can't do evening but could do something in the morning.
10:30AM taiwan time today is fine for me. I'm also fine to chat tomorrow, but I'll be free from 10:50AM taiwan time onwards.
I have a call from 11-11:30 tomorrow. Is that too late?
10:30AM taiwan time.
Also, since Avross is a bit ill today, if postponing is better, I can do tomorrow 10:30PM onwards also.

Chilling in jitsi but sounds like tomorrow?
hi. So sorry!! I got totally bamboozled. Yun Chen Chien came to NYC today and is staying with me. Her bus delayed, then hackathon, then train delay. Phew!
What’s the plan?
I can talk now or tomorrow
I see plan now. 11AM/PM tomorrow. Cool!

hey guys, sorry that i'll have a meeting with MOEA tmr morning (Taipei Time), so I can't make it at 11AM/PM
I can do at THU. night (THU. morning in NYC). Friday is also flexible for me. 🙏
What's the plan? Are we meeting?
@darshana @sylin @fang re-reschedule? I can do at Thu. night and Friday morning or night, but if the original plan (Thu. 11am/pm) is the best for everyone, I can just sync with fang and shu 😎 sorry about causing the inconvenience again 😣
no worries avross. is there anything that’s pressing for the group? Sounds like @sylin needs to connect with @devin.
not sure if you were referencing taiwan times.thursday eve i’m busy, i can do morning tomorrow or friday morning (but that’s your saturday)
Yes I was using Taiwan time. Seems like Thursday night (Thursday morning in NYC) works for fang, cs and me! How about @darshana and @sylin ? Let’s say 8 AM(NYC)/PM(TW) on Thursday?
+1 here for 8am/pm.
I can do Thursday morning
I will be on the move but I can quickly give you some updates on logistics
Okay! If we should have those sooner, @sylin, we can jump on a call before
👍 see you on Thursday at 8AM/PM 🤓
Jitsi vnetwork room work for everyone?
Works for me! Url, please, thanks!
Will @devin be there tmr? I have some updates for audrey’s schedule (need to explore digital doubles options)

Slido has a great theme of nyc as background, yay. this is how the welcome page and poll page look. please help check the wording of the poll question and options, thanks!
WOW!
Hi Tina, do you have a short bio I can put up on site? And any social media accounts you’d like to link.
What's the plan? Are we meeting?

Super positive call
yep 🙂 Should have told her about Tina!!
oh! damn. i think it went well
also they will be such amplifiers for the projects
we have to send her the materials anyway (for the reception etc.)
yes!!!
will be great
what is the plan for that? are we putting together a paperless post or eventbrighte or mailchimp?
we can just do the same thing we do for tickets with reception
mailchimp+eventbrite?
no worries avross. is there anything that’s pressing for the group? Sounds like @sylin needs to connect with @devin.

yeah. the eventbrite is free

Hi. Lets chat here.
When are we planning to send out the first round of invites?
yesterday
jokes aside. Thanks for reminder @devin. How about we email the people have on our individual lists the eventbrite?
For me that would be Micah, BetaNYC, American Assembly
I can do Christina Xu as well
Why not send it out to all the rank=1
?
That would be ideal, I thought we were slow on that cause of coordination hitches
I can send out an email with a link to the eventbrite via mailchimp. I just need the content for the email.
I can send you something today
Great - and are we linking to the eventbrite or the expression of interest? Do we need to discuss that part further?
that is the part we hadn’t decided on
I’m happy to just send out to group 1 without needing them to fill out anything. Maybe we can do the expression of interest for 2 and 3.
Thoughts on adding https://www.navapbc.com/ to group 1?
navapbc.com
Nava is a public benefit corporation creating software to improve how our government serves people.
after getting to know the PO part better, I think they will really benefit from it
Update on sponsorship — Elaine Chung chief of staff of City Council member Peter Koo (Noel’s contact) just emailed and is willing to chat and see how she can help us. @itsmisscs can we make the last fixes to website please. Buttons, scaling pictures more, adding PO training image and making the organizer part more prominent (I’ve left issues on github). Let me know when fixes are done and I will share website with her. Thanks!
More on this topic. I added group email to correspondence with Elaine. There is an event on Tuesday evening if anyone wants to join me. Mind if I handle the email replies though. Noel's request that all correspondence with her goes through one channel.

👍 see you on Thursday at 8AM/PM 🤓
def expression of interest for 2 and 3. send group 1 the link to register. ++
@devin @itsmisscs Draft for invitation email — https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Oc8fbueMW5LkK5J2-bJ_CxIMZZVpXFexavpusYdyYE/edit
can we also have the person who put down the contact name, email separately?
@darshana commented on @olivebranch.a’s file slido page display.png: @olivebranch.a Nice background 🙂
@darshana commented on @olivebranch.a’s file slido page display.png: Can we have full sentence prompts or a 1 line explanation along with the title so people have some context?
@darshana commented on @olivebranch.a’s file slido page display.png: Let’s discuss this on call tomorrow
Yes Nathan has offered to do thst for his names and I'll do it for mine.
@olivebranch.a commented on @olivebranch.a’s file slido page display.png: Absolutely!
excellent. Then we are mostly set.
Let’s coordinate tomorrow and get this out the door?
We have to add a line about the video bit either in eventbrite or email
also, price is $250
and number of tickets 25
@devin I don’t remember if the eventbrite account is a common one or your personal one
It's common
The information is in super secret google doc.
Jitsi vnetwork room work for everyone?
Works for me! Url, please, thanks!
Are we chatting somewhere?
Errrr need to go
Will sync with the others later.
we are done, sync with me then 🙂
@itsmisscs @devin let’s plan for tomorrow in this thread.
@devin can you start earlier than usual? 2:30PM? @itsmisscs and I can get on call or be there at that time.
Earlier would be great.
I can’t start before 2:30 but if we can decide on plan ahead of time, I will make sure I have everything ready ahead of time
What do you both think of sitting together and getting all the invites out. If we have website ready and personal emails to the people we know all lined up then we can get everything out the door.
yeah that's exactly what we should do
230 is fine with me
we should see if nathan can join
a lot of those names are his recomendations
I spoke to him yesterday. He'll followup with all the people he added once the invites are sent out.
I'll invite him to the meeting tomorrow anyway tho
did we find out if the baby is allowed?
ah. I forgot about baby. @itsmisscs what do you think? should we ask orbital or not?
Aren't we sending a general email then following up individually?
I will ask Gary. Can you confirm his availability?
@devin can you confirm that nathan is coming?
@nathan.p.storey you interested in working with us at orbital tomorrow - starting at 230?
Yes - email then individual followup is my and Nathan's plan.
Hi - I think I’ll have to check in tomorrow over there phone/slack. Baby Mira woke up with a cold this morning, so will probably not be up traveling tomorrow. I can follow up individually with anybody I know after the invites go out.
thx nathan!
I’m on the way over. I will be there a just past 2
3pm for me
I’m here but have a call. Can start at 2:30PM.
cool. i will meet with nikki about the logo then. will get continue with what i’m working on for the site.
i have to leave by 530/6.
I'm available for a quick check-in over phone. Is there a number I can call in to at ~3pm?
ETA 330
Do what you gotta do without me
@nathan.p.storey @devin Darshana went to get food….not sure when we’re starting here.
cool ya ran into her outside so will come up with her
@nathan.p.storey we will notify you once we send out a general email to everyone we’d like to attend. would you be okay reaching out to your contracts to give them an extra nudge?
Yes, can do. I’m around today until about 4:30
Just sent nudges to all my contacts. Hope it helps!
yay! Thanks!!

Either way, now or Tuesday, depending on your time

I replied back. What do folks think about starting to sign nobodies?
I think the funds should go to Sarapis. Any objections from folks? Is that okay, @devin?
Yaaas amazing congrats

Let me know if there is anything I need to do to process the contribution.

@darshana yep 👍 see you at 10, thank you!
invitations updates on this thread..
@patcon @katehnicholson mind emailing the people you put on the list, reminding them to get tickets
@devin can we send out a reminder email tomorrow?
I sent out emails to the 2/3 ranked people we have emails for, if you have put in a name and no email, can you please add and bold it so I can send.
@nathan.p.storey ^^
feel free to email people. Thanks!!
also, resent emails to people who did not open their email yet.
Yay great. Thanks for doing all this. Ill be on the road til tonight/tomorrow then send out emails etc.
Awesome! Great work @darshana ++
not that many tickets sold but things are moving with a lot of personal emailing and much help from @nathan.p.storey 🙂
list here in people attending.
Green 100%, Yellow said yes but haven’t bought. Mostly our names so we can decide how our tickets will be treated
Also, I have started offering 1 day tickets based on Taiwan teams feedback. Hope that is ok. Let me know if it isn’t.
realizing that expecting very busy people to block off 2 entire work days with no option to leave for a meeting was ambitious!
Ya good idea
Halving the price is the decent thing to do, right? lol
when in doubt err on the side of decency.
going with the halving
Ya we should just record which day so we can sell Tix on the other day
