Hi!- Yes, I try to comment on AU and AAiO when there's a relevant discussion.

We've actually just gone live with that local hosting program. Here's
a short blurb:

The Community High Web Outreach Team has launched a ArborSpeech
(), a new service for Ann Arbor-based
organizations. We're offering to build and host websites for free to
help groups that wouldn't otherwise have this resource.

ArborSpeech is powered by easy-to-learn & use software -- and someone
from the web team will be available for training and support.

With any luck I'll be able to stop in at the next a2b3 lunch to talk
more about this and some other web projects.

Matt Hampel

Lunch report -

Ted Hanss (ted@...), Jose Nazario (jose@...),
Alan Guiterrez (alan@...) and Matt Hampel
(mahatm@...) were there for the whole lunch,
and Patricia Anderson (pfa@...) stopped in
briefly.

Noted -

Vint Cerf is going to work at Google, and eBay is
looking at buying Skype.

There's a benefit for Katrina relief coming up at
the Northfield Roadhouse, ,
. Funds go to the Red Cross
and Patricia handed out posters.

Matt is working to release Arborspeech, a Community
High project to allow local communities a platform
to build web sites and blogs & the like. It's
not quite live yet but contact Matt if you want to
give it a spin. It's running a blog/cms system called
Textpattern that also powers the Community High School
site.

Alan got to talking about Katrina relief efforts he
is doing at thinknola.com, esp. how a wiki page
he set up was a part of the rallying point for the
bus rescue of Xavier students, and how people
are coordinating pet rescue right now there.

Jose noted that people's email in the affected area
is bouncing and wondered out loud how to build
temporary mail hubs that would catch that mail
before it bounced and perhaps have ways to
redirect it to people at their temporary addresses
or new permanent addresses.

I though the dol sot bi bim bop was good, but
my stomach reminded me later that it was
a bit greasier than some of the other places
we had visited.

Thanks to everyone for showing up, I'll be sure
to have a spot picked out for the next one -
thinking that might be another off-campus
place perhaps closer to North Campus this
time.

thanks

Seoul Korner is at the corner of Thompson and

if you need parking, is at the Maynard St. garage.
There is also a University lot nearby though it
will probably be full at noon.

As always there is no particular agenda for

I'm not expecting anyone to wander up to us
and offer to buy us lunch.

At the moment, I'm working on a bunch of
unfunded and volunteer projects and towards
a good of landing at least one funded project
for September. The most important volunteer
effort has been , which
is a collection of neighborhood resources for
New Orleans neighborhoods. If you know
anyone working on post-hurricane relief
efforts who might like bi bim bop, please do
invite them along (I'd relocate to a po-boy
shop if I could for a week but really, is there
any good New Orleans food in Ann Arbor or
even anywhere nearby?)

thanks

Next week back towards campus:
we'll be at Seoul Korner at William
and Thompson.

a quick summary around the table -

We had an early visit from some sales
reps from a financial services firm who
offered to buy us lunch (about $10) for
a 5-7 minute pitch. For an 8 person
lunch that's about an $80 value. As
much as I'd like to get sponsorship for
the lunch series I'll bet we can get someone
more on-topic.

Attendees:

Diane Durance, ddurance@...
Jose Nazario, jose@...
Ted Hanss, ted@...
Edward Vielmetti, edward.vielmetti@...
Charles Yun, tcyun@...
Sam Shin, nycshim@...
Erik Hofer, ehofer@...
(am I missing anyone?)

The food:

Most of us had dol sot bi bim bop, where the
dish is served in a hot stone bowl. Lunch bi
bim bop was $6.95, dol sot $7.95. There is
also sushi on the menu. We got a pretty good
assortment of sides. The bi bim bop bowl was
good but it was distinctly different from the
campus standard - there were mushrooms in
it, for instance, but no shredded cucumbers.

Topics of discussion:

Hurricane Katrina. Diane lived in the French
Quarter for a couple of years. Lots of general
discussion, it was on everyone's mind. Erik
Hofer notes a School of Information project
to coordinate Katrina housing.

Gas prices are up to $3+ (I paid $3.19 yesterday).
Diane and Jose carpooled.

Asian groceries. Two Korean groceries, one
Manna on Broadway near Plymouth, the
other in the shopping center with the Wendy's
off Plymouth. Ted Hanss noted a Chinese
market on W. Liberty near Coleman's,
in back of Faz Hello Pizza, mostly unmarked
from the street.

Mobile phones. Those who were comparing
showed Treo 650 vs. Blackberry 7100.

Airport parking. The parking concession at
Metro is apparently re-running very old
(February) charges that were not done in the
first place. Watch out on your card statement
if you see unusual charges.

More Hurricane Katrina discussion.

This doesn't capture it all, but we had a good
time.

Some people at the School of Information are working on a project to
aggregate and coordinate housing offers and needs for those affected
by the hurricane. Folks interested in participating should let me
know and I'll get you in touch with the right people.

Forwarded from Bob Frost:

A new email list for people wanting to help in SI's Katrina-help
efforts has been formed; it's joinable and the email address is
si.katrina@.... There also a Wiki:
.

We'll soon have a Web site, katrinahousing.net. We're working on it
now, volunteers welcome.

Sadly, I've got a Friday class schedule tomorrow, but I will
definitely be at the next.

Damn, I forgot to put this on my calendar, and I've already been scheduled into another lunch at that time.

I'll be at the next one.

A reminder that tomorrow, Thursday, is the
third Ann Arbor Bi Bim Bop tour lunch, this
one at Seoul Garden.

If anyone needs a ride from downtown or
from campus please use the list to coordinate.
I'll probably be coming from downtown
myself and would be taking the
11:48 #6 Ellsworth bus leaving downtown
and arriving a few minutes after noon if
traffic goes well. From campus, you can
take the 11:46 #36 Wolverine Tower bus
from the stop at the UGLI. Get to the stop
a few minutes early of course.

I'm expecting and hoping some folks this
week will come from Internet2, where I
was at a very interesting workshop on
"Bridging the Wizard Gap" on getting the
most of high performance networks. I'll
be sure to give a little trip report from that
workshop at lunch.

The one thing I took into the discussion (and that
I hope to keep going based on some of the
talking we did) are these three ideas, which
are already floating around on the net in ways
that are pretty easy to tap into. to wit:

Community indicators. How can you tell
that a community is active, energetic, and
going well? What are the external indicators
of those sorts of success measures - and they
may be very distinct from financial profit and
loss metrics - and how do you organize your
efforts to improve on them? Follow some
discussion at


Neighborhood. Who are the people in your
neighborhood? Do you know them, interact
with them, share tools with them, recognize
them on the street? What sorts of neighborhood
institutions (like the ice cream shop with wifi)
help build community?


Attention. What are you paying attention to
right now? Are you paying full attention,
because nothing else is distracting you, or
is this one of many things in your life that
you don't quite have enough time for?
Did your Blackberry just buzz and now your
mind is off in California solving a problem
there? There's the notion of a world we live
in of "continuous partial attention" watching
way too many things and not focusing on
anything.
htttp://del.icio.us/tag/attention

so that's some ideas. as always I'm happy
for anyone to bring any idea to these lunches,
and to see who all shows up and what they
might bring to the table.

so welcome! hope to see you again.

Just a quick reminder, there will be a bi bim bop lunch event today at
Eastern Accents, #2 on our tour. Call me at 734-276-5910 if you find
yourself in need of directions or anything. The best parking if you
need it is the structure at Fourth and Washington, half a block from
the restaurant.

see you there! no particular agenda, though I will be expecting to
talk about the idea of "community indicators", what sorts of things
you look for in a place or online system that is a sign that people
are actively providing energy to the place.

thanks

Ed

You can put any hunk of HTML into mygmaps, so if you say, created a
wiki page for each restaurant, you could link to it from the gmap...
Even better would be to "include" part of the wiki page in the popup.
:)

I used "mygmaps" to create a really basic
map of the first few places on the bi bim

for a map. It's missing links to reviews and
to pictures, but as a start it will help people
find Eastern Accents for next week.

Thanks to Scott Trudeau for the mygmaps
pointer.
