Teamspeak Meeting 4/18/10

April 21, 2010 in Meet Up, Teamspeak

Teamspeak Weekly Meeting 4/18/2010

Sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been busy with some personal stuff.

Here is a quick update from Roberto:

We will be meeting at the South East corner of Washington Square Park (University Place and West 4th Street.)  4/24 at 11 am.

UPDATE:

11a – 1 or 1:30pm NYU stand/education (Washington square park)
1:30 – 2:30pm (someone get tickets) quick/casual lunch
3:45pm Banksy Film “Exit Through the Gift Shop” at Sunshine

In effort to spread the word through Universities, we will be doing some outreach at  Washington Square park which is in the center of several NYU buildings hence, the NYU Activism Campaign. This Saturday’s meeting will give us an opportunity to map out what and how we plan to do things while we are at the park. I would like to revisit what everyone can commit to doing (even if its a little, everything counts :) and what each others strengths are. I recommend us all reading the Zeitgeist Movement Activist and Orientation Guide to internalize what the movement is. (click here to download)

Secondly, there has been a recent interest amongst some members for a future graffiti/street art campaign. To spark some inspiration and as an extra treat, we will be seeing “Exit Through the Gift Shop” at 3:45 at the Sunshine Cinema in Soho. Feel free to invite friends to the movie. I recommend buying the tickets ahead of time.

So far its Laura, Liz and myself. I will see about getting more people to join us.

Thirdly I plan on bringing my camera in case you have any thoughts you wish to share to help promote the movement, possibly to document the meeting and to take some pics if you’re not camera shy of course :)

Thank you for your contributions to the movement everyone, hopefully I will see you all soon. Take care.

Teamspeak Meeting 4/4/10

April 7, 2010 in Meet Up, Teamspeak

Teamspeak Weekly Meeting 4/4/2010

On last teamspeak meeting we went over the NYU Activism event we are setting up. We decided to set the deadline of this coming Sunday to be done with the posters.

Here are the volunteers so far:

  • Diego – Debt
  • Doraw – Unemployment
  • James O\’Loughlin – Energy/Technology is hindered by profit system.
  • Roberto – Energy

and these are the topics to be covered:

Topics:

  • Debt – Go into money creation and how their isn’t enough money in circulation to cover the debt + interest.
  • Energy – Highlight different technologies that would make our energy crisis a non-issue (geothermal).
  • Constant Growth Economy – Highlight how we live in a finite planet that cannot sustain a profit driven, constant growth economy.
  • Technological Unemployment - Demonstrate technologies that promise to replace human labor, and how the profit system promotes the use of such machines. Examples of technology would be the “Contourcrafting”, Electric Vehicles (low maintenance = less mechanics) , etc…
  • Suggest One…

Zeitgeist Cook Book

Zeitgeist Cook Book is an idea that Keith came up with during the meeting.

Zeitgeist Cookbook will be a free ebook that will be a compilation of DIY, affordable alternative technologies that can provide you will a healthy standard of living as the worldwide economy continues to crumble. We will cover many different technologies, including: Hydroponics, Solar Panels, Car Coversion Technologies (HHO, Electric, etc…), and much more.

A wiki has been set up to compile links and materials that will be used as source for the guide.

So join the group and start posting links to pdf’s that might be appropriate for the pdf.

Great meeting guys! Talk to you all soon.
