17:16 < sdboyer> yeah we're actually packin up
17:18 < LP_> and having *fun*
17:19 < sdboyer> superbranch: sorry it didn't get sorted
17:21 < superbranch> np
17:22 < superbranch> I've been catching up with Dana in the mean time
17:22 < superbranch> I have a good feeling about occupy.net and this Wired article
19:48 < sdboyer> superbranch: yeah, me too
19:48 < sdboyer> lot of potential there
19:48 < sdboyer> i'm really curious how he's gonna stitch all these pieces together, heh
19:48 < sdboyer> there's just a MAMMOTH amount of info he's gotten
20:34 < superbranch> Yes. I'm sure between the two of us we just buried the poor guy
21:03 -!- LP_ is now known as LP_afk
21:23 < sdboyer> superbranch: heh, yeah, he sent me a ton of followup questions. he seemed really committed to trying to get this *right*, though, which i was impressed with
21:23 < sdboyer> and i read some of the earlier work he'd done on occupy, which is part of why i decided to go the burying him route
21:24 < superbranch> Same here. I finally got around to answering the questions today..
21:24 < sdboyer> seemed like a person worth investing in in that way
21:24 < sdboyer> ah yeah i think i was up till 3:45 turning em around as quick as i could the night he sent them
21:24 < sdboyer> can't even remember when that was, heh
21:24 < superbranch> He also contributes to FastCompany and seems really interested in, for example, co-ops, and how the stuff we're building could be adapted by businesses
21:26 < sdboyer> so i have to leave in about ten minutes, but had an excellent albeit quick discussion about groups with lippe
21:27 < superbranch> What did you come up with?
21:28 < sdboyer> i'm working up to kick off the groups conversation with this (in part), but it was basically pinned around the key idea that...
21:28 < sdboyer> hmm, it's harder to find a starting point in text than verbally
21:28 < sdboyer> well, quickly
21:28 < sdboyer> a) the very notion of a "group admin" is antithetical to the entire sort of process we want to run and build
21:29 < sdboyer> b) the behavior and functionality of groups needs to change depending on, at the very least, the number of members in a group. groups can sort of "evolve" to use different tools as they become larger - certain decisionmaking models, info distribution models, make sense at say 5 people but no sense at 400
21:30 < sdboyer> and c) that when it comes to "gamification" (better word needed), our first orientation needs to be towards facilitating these first two points in an intuitive way. truly giving people *good* tools to build and manage healthy group spaces
21:30 < sdboyer> gotta bounce, but i'll catch your responses when i come back :)
21:30 < superbranch> Sounds good. Also you're in luck because a lot of OG functionality for D7 needs to be filled in, so you won't have to change much. ;)
21:31 < sdboyer> time to go see Silence of the Lambs...THE MUSICAL!
21:31 < sdboyer> yup.
21:31 < sdboyer> i've got amitai ready to advise when we need it
21:33 < sdboyer> OH, and, i've got an in with david graeber, who could be one of the best people in the *world* to help us think about how we construct the intra- and inter-group interaction paradigms
21:33 < sdboyer> so, super excited about that :)
21:37 < superbranch> This is all wonderful
21:39 < Amgine> Query: have you considered the concept of group janitor, rather than administrator?
