      Add events and grant deadlines from channels into calendar (patcon)

  • liz mentioned hope to bring on vNetwork members @itsmisscs and @dzn as organizational consultants with Public Lab, to help knit our future vNetwork community with PL community (advocacy)

    • fundraising timelines can be as much as 18 months
    • optimistic about this possibility
    • PL (2 ways of working)
      • organizing (broadening capacity)
      • advocacy (changing balance of power)
        • in the past this was data work
        • future: faciltiation? (that includes a comment on the process)

      review current fellows who have ability to bestow flash grants
      • Anasuya Sengupta has a rad quote from Octavia Butler, maybe cool
      • Adam Hyde maybe interested

  • @dzn: re conferences.

    • lets do more learning first. rightscon is exception bc its a launch and a way to get g0v and Taiwan folks here and exchange
    • would like to write and do more first
    • @liz: what about getting funding in current field to travel somewhere and speak related to vNetwork sort of concerns
      • @patcon: maybe doable for fuzzy events on "intersection of neuroscience and society"
    • @liz. re: funding. (N) has a tactic down where he finds uni to speak, get one department to pay travel, and the other department to pay honorarium, then you get funding to do unfunded work in faraway place
    • @dzn: re: speakingwhy are we giving the talk? when people respond, what's the path?
    • @liz. brings up speaking only to secure travel budgets.
    • @liz: [ASIDE] governance as a subset of collaboration, which is a thing that open source communities and public lab are already exploring and learning in. Extension to vTaiwan is totally aligned.

  • Licensing (special agenda item!)

    • (patcon: this is prob relevant later)
    • MIT (permissive, do anything) vs GPL (copyleft, virality of open in commons)
    • TODO: update this section with own thinking

      ask clkao who applied and who is coming
    • @dzn: TW's frameworks are collectivist frameworks, and that exchanging insight between a western individualist tradition and eastern tradition takes work.
    • @liz: in TW, diff sense of accountability and originality
    • @patcon – used to work for a company that presented their structure differently externally vs how they worked together internally.
