Using wiki markup formatting
- all kinds of info about markup formatting is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting
- asterisks are how you make bullet points
- more asterisks give deeper levels
- likewise, number signs make numbered lists
- and this
- more number signs make deeper levels
- if you want to make section subheadings, use the equals sign (=) on either side of the heading text. The number of equals signs should be one more than the heading itself, eg this section uses five equals signs for its heading, so a subheading in this section would be formatted with six equals signs like this:
subheading
- this is just demonstrating a subheading :)
Community Agreements
- Inclusivity
- Progressive stacking
- Remembering our/my context
- Forgiving
- Write big, speak up, and use the mic
- Provide grace
- Freedom to move
- Acknowledgment for CA(? notetaker note: idk what this means) flexibility
- In lieu of clapping (loud, takes up time) silent applause by waving hands
- Recognize power & privilege
- One mic, one speaker
- Ask up - jargon gesture and/or explain your acronyms
Future of LFP
When you talk about LFP to others, how do you describe our values, goals, and culture?
- Very accessible, no imposter syndrome
- Not part of ALA
- Some code switching depending on the audience - with trusted people might talk more about our anti-capitalist values, with others might just mention the justice orientation or that we use a power analysis, but with less detail
- More depth-than-breadth oriented. The level of activity commitment is a bit of a barrier to entry, so to some might feel exclusionary, but it speaks to the work and practice that is part of the expectation
- Thinks of it in contrast to ALA - ethic of care
- When thinking about the goals, often don't know exactly what the goals are. Lots to learn, but difficult to imagine 5 year goals, application, etc, without clearly stated goals.
- A community of practice rather than a professional membership org. It's about both the community component (being actively in community) and the practice. Some might consider it a higher barrier to entry, but perhaps this is something we should explicitly lay out in our values about our members, that we don't want to become a membership org where people just pay dues and join and do nothing further. If you want to be part of our community, that does require some work -- not beyond what you are able to commit to, but it IS more than just something you join on paper.
- Values - pro-labor, pro-racial-justice, abolitionlist
- Someone would like clarity as to whether we should call our members information workers, librarians, etc....
- Educate, Advocate, Examine -
LFP Community Culture
Creating a Culture of Privacy
Current surveillance landscape
Unscheduled time sessions
- Saturday after-dinner activities
