Early next year they will be able to accept translations into their upcoming desktop version of the app, so that will make it much easier to use OLIO in countries where English isn’t the native language

Hi everyone,
@owen, thanks for these notes.
@mahmoud, this OLIO app seems brilliant. Looking forward to it. I’m currently living in Rabat, Morocco, let’s talk about introducing the app there.
We’re going to talk about media production (I’m kind of used to it), processes & everything. We need mics, compu, tools, ideas, time & people. The conversation goes on riot now. You’re welcome !

Wow I totally missed this. Did you ever connect with @elf_pavlik? it sounds like you have a lot in common.
Have been thinking a lot about Conversations lately.
Inspired by @HadeerGhareeb I posted an open question on my FB feed: “How are you preparing for your death?”
A mix of hilarity and usefulness ensued from “hoping for the singularity” to “setting up a testament with all my passwords” using this piece of software they built https://secrets.dyne.org
Hadeer posts these beautiful open ended questions and what ensues is reflective exchange. I love it. If is something we can get going e.g through what we are discussing for sensestack @hugi and @matteo_uguzzoni that might be nice, no? something to keep in mind for the april design sprint

This excites me, since I just started my Master Thesis, which is about creating stories to communicate Visions. (calling them Myths might be a bit confident) And since the stories come from the people, this is a very similar thing.
What I’m not yet sure is how to communicate these stories. Text might work, but for them to spread and diffuse so deep into culture that they can begin to change it, they need other forms of media.
What forms of media do you consider suitable for impacting culture?

This sounds fascinating. Very interested in the ideas that you are using.
Hi Alex,
Basically, I’m going to use established plot structures and scenario methods as a basis for something like a tabletop / planning / role playing game. But I’m just starting, so there’s nothing definite there yet.
