Agenda

Background in https://github.com/orgs/life-itself/discussions/466

Originally posted by **rufuspollock** April 21, 2023 Organize a [research community](https://lifeitself.org/research) hackathon in the next 3-4 months. Hackathons are a great pattern we could adopt as a way of crystallising activity and community. > A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest, datathon or codefest; a portmanteau of hacking and marathon) is an event where people engage in rapid and collaborative engineering over a relatively short period of time such as 24 or 48 hours **UPDATE πŸ“£: 28 April**: date chosen for the event Saturday and/or Sunday 3rd/4th of June. ### πŸ“£ Suggestions wanted! We're brainstorming around the following questions (and please add more** - **What (topics)?**: 🚧 **see brainstorm below πŸ‘‡** - **Who**: all welcome! - **Facilitators**: Rufus and Matt volunteered to co-organize. Others welcome. - **Where**: online and at [Bergerac Hub](https://lifeitself.org/hubs/bergerac) or nearby - **When**: Sat/Sun 3rd and 4th June 2023 ~~probably a weekend some time in next 3 months (i.e. may / june / july 2023)~~ - **Naming**: this isn't really a hackathon (we aren't coding and we aren't rushing to get somewhere!). Alternative names wanted! ### Topic shortlist Culled from suggestions below - **High-level knowledge map**: An interactive knowledge map viz that ties together topics of focus within Life Itself. - Attempting to serve the Q: _"What topics is Life Itself interested in?"_ and _"What topics are adjacent or related to X?"_. - Inspiration: [Life Itself research topical map](https://github.com/life-itself/community/blob/914addc2405ff1e7eff1d3f28e6db6ed87a8240c/content/excalidraw/research-topical-map-2023-01-14.excalidraw.svg) / [xiq's knowledge map](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fa2M570WIAA7USi?format=png&name=4096x4096) - **Reading lists / learning resource curation**: A framework for organising learning resources for newcomers to a particular topic, i.e. books, papers, videos, podcasts, thinkers, etc. This could also be integrated with a knowledge map. - Attempting to serve the Q: _"How can I learn about topic X as a newcomer?"._ and _"What are the canonical texts for topic X?"_ - Inspiration: [user-generated reading lists](https://placesjournal.org/reading-lists/) / [notion reading lists](https://parameter.io/notion-reading-list-templates/) / [roadmap.sh](https://roadmap.sh/system-design) / [healthygamer.gg](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/960919/234788298-d2ef94a1-c7ae-4f7a-b108-19128f448cc1.png) - how to analyze data (surveys, interviews before and after coliving experiences) quantitatively or qualitatively, e.g. some of the notebook example is here https://github.com/Liyubov/community/tree/master/research/notebooks we started to discuss it with Marc as well, as he has experience in quantiative measures, survey design etc. - related to space of coliving, we started to also map coliving space e.g. here https://github.com/Liyubov/community/blob/master/research/README.md based on discussions we had with Penny Clark from CC (consious coliving), happy to invite her for this - Inner development guide / directory could include library of papers, literature review, visualization of key streams of work - Textual analysis of political manifestos to analyze their cultural worldview - Write up of cultural values work by e.g. Schwartz, Inglehart et al - Guide to conscious communities and coliving - Directory of exemplar intentional communities - Prototype research program about intentional communities and what makes them work or not
