Wednesday October 12, MobilityShifts in NYC with Phil Silva, Liz, Mathew 1:30 - 3:30pm.
Central Booking---people who know maps will flag--sara will send off to central booking
Nitin’s class at Parsons

what is up with Uganda? See recent email from Chris C. but do not forward. As Mathew articulated, we have individuals who are part of the greater Public Laboratory community - beyond us 7 staff - who might seriously consider this, but the contract would need to include a percentage going back to PLOTS organization. The position is targeting an individual rather than a group at the onset.

Sara is going to contact Leif, to follow up.

upcoming post from Oscar re: OccupyWallStreet https://mapknitter.org/maps/2011-10-01-newyork-occupywallstreet - did he separate this into two maps?
