I can’t make this Wednesday – we go into full lockdown at midnight on Wednesday and I have a lot to take care of before it hits.
My updates:
-
NGI - Coding is progressing and we have published another prelim analysis which I think everyone has seen. We are doing our first AMA on November 11 at 18:30 CET. For engagement, we want to invite specific people to join rather than a giant blast, because we need quality contributions / conversation over quantity of participants. So if you know anyone who would have interesting questions for Anton, please invite them!

POPREBEL. We are going ahead with the plan to hire ethnographers and have received some high quality applications for the Czech position, as Jirka has been very active in engaging people. Radio silence from Jan for the last week or so, but Mania is keen for the job so that’s OK. For POPREBEL, we are working with @alberto to ask for some visualisations. Most importantly, a co-occurrence network for each language forum separately.

Green Deal. @hugi and I were in attendance for call 10-2 with Climate KIC. I’ve been developing a proposal for the call with my colleague Flora and in discussion with Alberto and Hugi. From the call, no one seemed keen to lead, though possible people have just not spoken up. Hard to get a sense. Climate KIC said they would reconsider leading but need to speak internally, and would reach out to everyone with a map of the terrain for each call in terms of who was interested in what. I am uncertain of whether to reach out to people who contacted us to set up calls (Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research, British Red Cross, PUSH, and Circular Influence) or to wait for C-KIC’s summary. Would love @marina’s input. I could start gathering academic partners for the call if we were to try and lead it, but don’t want to take action until we have more internal clarity on whether continuing to develop this makes sense.
