It’s good. It’s OK.
Sure.
It’s all good.
Thank you.
Wow, 林爽文... This is very local content.
This is super local.
Illustrations.
Would any of your members happen to be in Taichung or Taiwan around May 5th and 6th?
So come to the meeting.
I’m pretty sure I’ll come to Edinburgh. I don’t know about others...
Supposedly, one of the SEWF team is also coming to the our event. We can figure out directly in May. I don’t know much about the September planning before May, actually.
That’s right, that’s right.
The tailor of Chiang Kai-shek you mentioned last time?
The family of tailors for Chiang Kai-shek.
Just include that in your email, and we’ll go through it point by point.
Yeah. It’s great to have this chat.
I will send you the transcripts in the next 24 hours.
Yeah, the vTaiwan people, they’re there.
Yeah, exactly.
Everybody, including me, is here for the pizza.
We’re good. All right, cheers.
Ciao.
Would you care for a coffee, or water?
Cool.
It was awesome there. My first one.
You’ve been there before?
Oh, you did?
I knew Nat for ~20 years, and the Foo unconference format, we have replicated it a lot here in Taiwan. However I didn’t know that Nat went back to New Zealand — and I didn’t know that he brought the Foo there with him.
A decade or something?
I think it’s a hundred new people every time? That helps.
The diversity status is also awesome... I was so surprised; it meant something. In Silicon Valley, when people threw up something like this, sometimes they just gather people very similar to them, but this time in New Zealand, it was perfect.
[laughs]
Wow. What made you do you it?
A naturalized Kiwi.
Yeah. For the Open Source // Open Society conference.
Yeah. It’s lovely.
Awesome win.
I’ve heard of it.
Before the term open source? That was in ’97...
...Free Software folks...
...I joined around ’94 or so.
You don’t look that.
It’s OK.
OK.
Without the Internet, we would be nothing in the startup scene.
She’s my mentor. I was her understudy.
We’re both Independents, as far as I know.
She worked with the last Cabinet. But her Premier at the time, Simon Chang who came from Google as a director of engineering, is also Independent. Mayor of Taipei City for the matter of fact also Independent. Here we have a bunch of Independent people.
As a matter of fact, we’re in the "digitaln" Slack.
Brenda send us invitations. Our interaction designer, service designer, and myself -- I guess political designer? Have joined already the Slack channel, and we’d be happy to join Basecamp or Wikis, whatever.
