FREE WEBINAR: How to Outsource Development of Your App
This event is organized by TechSpeak.
Our meetup group is collaborating by promoting this event.
This event is FREE to attend!
In order to attend, please register here:
https://www.techspeakforentrepreneurs.com/outsource/?utm=ideatoipo
(Registrants will receive login info right before the start of the event.)
If you are a non-technical person with an idea for an app, you’re probably looking for a technical co-founder to help you build the app.
However, you can launch a tech startup by outsourcing code!
In the early days of your startup it can be challenging to attract a technical co-founder to build your app. But by knowing how to efficiently outsource the building of your MVP and gain some traction, you can de-risk the opportunity for the tech person and change the conversation from "I Need You" to "Here's an Opportunity".
In this webinar, the speaker will discuss the best way to outsource the development of your app, including:
1) Why outsourcing may be the best way to find a technical co-founder
2) Outsourcing best practices
3) How not get ripped off in the process
and more!

Greek Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Ancient Greek Language Class
This event is closed to new participants and the class is full. Thank you, though, for your interest.
Prerequisite: \~One year of college level Ancient Greek.\~
As of Spring 2021, only Agnes Scott, Emory University, and the University of Georgia offer Ancient Greek classes in Georgia. Our Ancient Greek class is the only free, adult Ancient Greek class in Georgia.
We have reached our maximum attendance. We will favor advanced students who can teach the rest of us something!
Our class starts promptly at 8 p.m. and ends promptly at 9:15 p.m.
We are at the end of our first year college Ancient Greek text books and we will be reading unaltered Ancient Greek henceforth.
Live-Reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics – North American Style
Let's try something new. For the next dozen weeks or so, starting 4/17/2022, we are going to live-read and discuss Aristotle's \~*Nicomachean Ethics*\~. What is new and different about this project is that the translation, by Adam Beresford (2020), happens to be rendered in standard 'Murican English.
.
From the translator's "Note" on the text:
.
"This translation is conservative in interpretation and traditional in aim. It aims to translate the text as accurately as possible.
.
"I translated every page from scratch, from a clean Greek text, rather than revising an existing translation. ... I wanted to avoid the scholars’ dialect that is traditionally used for translating Aristotle.
...
"I reject the approach of Arthur Adkins, Elizabeth Anscombe, and others who followed Nietzsche in supposing that the main elements of modern thinking about right and wrong were unknown to the Greeks, or known to them only in some radically different form. My view of humanity and of our shared moral instincts is shaped by a newer paradigm. This is a post-Darwinian translation. (It is also more in line with the older, both Aristotelian and Christian view of human character.)
.
"Having said that, I have no interest at all in modernizing Aristotle’s ideas. All the attitudes of this treatise remain fully Greek, very patriarchal, somewhat aristocratic, and firmly embedded in the fourth century BC. My choice of dialect (standard English) has no bearing on that whatsoever. (It is perfectly possible to express distinctively Greek and ancient attitudes in standard English.) ... I have also not simplified the text in any way. I have translated every iota, particle, preposition, noun, verb, adjective, phrase, clause, and sentence of the original. Every premise and every argument therefore remains – unfortunately – exactly as complex and annoyingly difficult as in any other version in whatever dialect.
...
"Some scholars and students unwarily assume that the traditional dialect has a special connection with Greek and that using it brings readers closer to the original text; and that it makes the translation more accurate. In reality, it has no special tie to the Greek language, either in its main philosophical glossary or in its dozens of minor (and pointless) deviations from normal English. And in my view it certainly makes any translation much less accurate.
.
"I will occasionally refer to the scholars’ dialect (‘Gringlish’) and its traditional glossary in the Notes."
.
.
Here is our plan:
1\. Read Intro excerpts or a summary to gain the big picture\.
2\. Read a segment of the translated text\.
3\. Discuss it analytically and interpretively\.
4\. Repeat again at \#2 for several more times\.
5\. Discuss the segments evaluatively\.
.
.
Zoom is the project's current meeting platform, but that can change. The project's cloud drive is [here](https://mega.nz/folder/vqJCXIQJ#muxiUXMHhfljvxKnWaOxZA), at which you'll find the reading texts, notes, and slideshows.
