These semi-regular pilot events are to gauge interest in hosting a more regular weekly event. We'll need your energy and contributions to make that work! (See ABOUT US section below)

‣ PRESENTERS: Pipi Hosanhir & Cyborg Psychopomp, Space Pirates' squat crew

Note: Thusal, our original presenter, has come down with covid and needed to reschedule into the new year. Apologies! (and feel better Thusal!)

‣ TOPIC: The Space Pirates' Code - an accountability and consent framework

‣ BIO:
Pipi and Cyborg are members of Space Pirates, a London focused squat crew who navigate the murky grey seas between deserted islands of paradise. Space Pirates are not defined as a particular set number of people, nor any specific location or activity. https://411615.squat.net/

‣ VENUE SPONSOR
Newspeak House is an independent residential college founded in 2015 to study, nurture and inspire emerging communities of practice across civil society and the public sector in the UK. https://newspeak.house

‣ CHECK-IN DETAILS
Enter through the eastern-most glass door.

We might informally confirm RSVPs, but we're flexible. (Intention is to support attendee connections beyond the event.)

‣ ACCESSIBILITY
The event will take place on the ground floor. The event space has no steps inside. The main entrance has a 2" lip onto a graded concrete ramp.

‣ ABOUT US
g0v London is an exploration of seeding a g0v community in London, UK. We are currently running hacknights roughly every 3 weeks and, with your support, aspire to run them weekly.

‣ INSPIRATION
g0v is a grassroots social movement community dedicated to deepening the civic engagements and connections between the social arena and citizens. It is a decentralised civic tech community with core values of information transparency, open results and open cooperation. https://g0v.tw/intl/en/

Civic Tech Toronto is a diverse community of Torontonians interested in better understanding and finding solutions to civic challenges through technology, design or other means. They run weekly "civic hacknights for everyone", where people of all backgrounds and skill levels are welcome to attend. https://link.civictech.ca/meetup (Civic Tech Toronto was in turn inspired by the values and format of Chicago's ChiHackNight. )

‣ AGENDA
6:00-6:30: Doors open. Food!
6:30-7: Welcome and intros
7-7:30: Presentation, Q&A
7:30-9: Breakout groups (make something!)
