''Evening Social Event''
Please note that this event will adhere to all applicable [https://www.washington.edu/coronavirus/ COVID-19 policies and guidelines] of the State of Washington and the University of Washington, including the [https://www.ehs.washington.edu/covid-19-prevention-and-response/covid-19-case-response UW COVID-19 case response guidance]. Some highlights and particulars:
* We ask that you perform (at least) a rapid antigen test prior to beginning your participation in group meetup activities. The hosts (UW folks) will help ensure there is an ample supply of rapid antigen tests available in the CDSC lab space as of Thursday to make this easy. If you determine that a PCR test is preferable for any reason, we don't have those in the lab, but they are available in the area.
* The University recommends wearing a [https://www.washington.edu/coronavirus/2022/01/27/where-to-pick-up-free-high-quality-masks-starting-jan-31/ high-quality mask] inside UW facilities where they aren’t otherwise required.
* Been exposed? Tested positive recently? Not sure how to handle it? Please follow this [https://www.ehs.washington.edu/system/files/resources/COVID-19-public-health-flowchart.pdf COVID-19 public health flowchart] from the UW Environmental Health and Safety team that offers pretty comprehensive coverage of many scenarios.
* If you have symptoms associated with COVID-19, please [https://www.ehs.washington.edu/covid-19-prevention-and-response/covid-19-isolation-guidance follow the corresponding UW guidance].
* If you need help identifying/paying for a space to isolate or quarantine in the context of the group meetup activities, faculty in the group are prepared to help out with this (at minimum, financially if needed).

==== Reception ====


=== Critique and Feedback Sessions ===
Folks presenting posters include:


For the '''critique and feedback''' sessions we're expecting everybody who wants to participate to submit (a) something in writing (e.g., a paper, a [[Matsuzaki outline]], an extended abstract) and (b) a list of questions or types of feedback you want. Please only submit something you want feedback on!
* Kaylea (Taboo Topics)
* Mako/Kaylea (Tor Wikipedia Edits)
* Sohyeon (Bot stacking, work done w/ Charlie, Serene, Aaron)
* Floor (online participation during COVID)
* Carl
* St3f (AI Literacy if poster gets printed in time)
* ''...add yourself here?''


If you want to participate, you need to email something to collective@communitydata.cc by the end of day on '''Friday, October 7'''. Not everybody needs to participate but anybody who does participate should only submit one thing.
=== Saturday, October 15 ===


We're expecting that everyone attending will have read all the material submitted and will bring notes to the meeting. When we meet, everyone who has submitted something will get at least half an hour (more if possible).
''Note on rooms:'' In addition to the CDSC lab and meetings rooms, we have CMU 126 for the full day and CMU 322 (Newslab), CMU 302 (Media Lab) and CMU 325 (Conference Room) from 8am-3pm.


When we meet, these sessions will be run with ''no presentations'' and ''no formal introductions''. The plan to just jump in and start answering the questions and talking about thing we've all already read."

These are our norms:


* '''Take the entire group as an audience''': the best feedback is beneficial or thought-provoking to the group as a whole, prompts group discussion/consideration, asks a question, etc.
Unconference potential topics:
* If the author is your only audience, '''be practical and actionable for the project's current stage'''. Early-stage work is expected to be a little unpolished and crunchy, and proposing a large new branch of analysis for a nearly-complete work should be approached with a scoping statement (Must this be done for the work to be valid? Or are you proposing a follow-up line of inquiry to be stated in the Future Work section?)
* '''[Confirmed]''' Reading Group for Coase's penguin: all newcomers should attend this session!
* '''Don't dogpile''' -- time is short, so even positive plus-ones should be brief: don't repeat what others have said, don't feel the need to chime in or pile on a critique: it is assumed that you read the paper and are supportive of the author.
* informed consent doc for public research brainstorming/writing
* '''Avoid vaguebooking'''. "Framework needs some work" or "Lacking some flow" isn't as useful as "I don't think you're getting a lot out of using Foucault, Latour, and Habermas here, and explaining them is pretty heavy -- maybe you can get away with just invoking Benkler and moving on" and experience-grounded comments like "When you transitioned from section 2 to section 3, and half-way through section 4, I ended up flipping back to the abstract to figure out what was going on".
* workgroups on lab duties f2f sessions
* '''Don't narrate the typo you found on line 156''': feedback best conveyed via a marked-up draft should be delivered via a marked-up draft.
* Covid-19 Digital Observatory (kc)
* a "polar" plunge (ff)

We're meeting in Seattle on October 14 - 15!

We'll be taking group notes at in a shared Etherpad for the event. You can see the pad we created last time for an idea of what this might look like.

The /Pre-meetup todo list is now available!

COVID-19 note[edit]

Please note that this event will adhere to all applicable COVID-19 policies and guidelines of the State of Washington and the University of Washington, including the UW COVID-19 case response guidance. Some highlights and particulars:

  • We ask that you perform (at least) a rapid antigen test prior to beginning your participation in group meetup activities. The hosts (UW folks) will help ensure there is an ample supply of rapid antigen tests available in the CDSC lab space as of Thursday to make this easy. If you determine that a PCR test is preferable for any reason, we don't have those in the lab, but they are available in the area.
  • The University recommends wearing a high-quality mask inside UW facilities where they aren’t otherwise required.
  • Been exposed? Tested positive recently? Not sure how to handle it? Please follow this COVID-19 public health flowchart from the UW Environmental Health and Safety team that offers pretty comprehensive coverage of many scenarios.
  • If you have symptoms associated with COVID-19, please follow the corresponding UW guidance.
  • If you need help identifying/paying for a space to isolate or quarantine in the context of the group meetup activities, faculty in the group are prepared to help out with this (at minimum, financially if needed).

    • I'm flying in early Tuesday* morning. I have lodging plans, but will be a bit far from UW, so I'm happy to join in on group accommodations if my marginal impact is low (i.e. if I can join in without requiring an additional room to be booked, and mainly just make things easier/cheaper and not harder/more expensive). Otherwise, I'll figure things out on my own!
