A Case for Community: Open Source Events with GatherPress

A Case for Community: Open Source Events with GatherPress

Tue, Oct 27, 10:00 PM
From WordPress NYC Meetup Group
4.7

Community is vital to any open source ecosystem. It jumpstarts projects and careers, gives us encouragement, and helps us keep pushing forward together. And in open source communities, shouldn't the events platform be open too? Mike Auteri decided to do something about it. He brought the idea to the WordPress community and spent years building GatherPress, while navigating the very real challenges of adoption across a global community. Along the way, GatherPress has found its way into communities well beyond WordPress. Now the WordPress Foundation is building its events platform on GatherPress, and that work is moving quickly. Mike will share the story of how we got here, what the team has learned, and where we go next. **Update**: Pizza and drinks will be provided. **6:00–6:45 PM — Snacks and mingling** Grab a bite, meet other folks in the community, and settle in. **6:45–8:00 PM — A Case for Open Community** Mike shares his story about building community in the open. *Please let us know beforehand if you need accommodations for accessibility or food allergies.*

Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit (week 3)

Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit (week 3)

Sun, Oct 25, 8:00 PM
From NYC Philosophy and Psychology Readers Community
4.8

Join us for weekly discussions of G. W. F. Hegel's 1807 dialectical quest through consciousness and subjectivity to reason and absolute knowledge, *The Phenomenology of Spirit*. **Required reading for this meeting: B. Self Consciousness - IV. The Truth of Self-Certainty (Pages 104-111) - A.V. Miller edition** I plan to use the A.V. Miller edition though you can use a different edition. A digital pdf can be found here: [https://cominsitu.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/georg-w.-f.-hegel-phenomenology-of-spirit-a.-v.-miller-translation.pdf](https://cominsitu.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/georg-w.-f.-hegel-phenomenology-of-spirit-a.-v.-miller-translation.pdf) This week’s reading will be on the lighter side to give people a chance to reread the earlier sections in tandem with this week’s selection. The Phenomenology is a difficult text and I highly recommend to read along side Hegel (though not required) the accessible secondary lit, “The Logic of Desire” by Peter Kavage. It can be found here: [https://a.co/d/02jcheHr](https://a.co/d/02jcheHr) We'll be meeting at the 180 Maiden Lane Public Atrium on the ground floor of the building downtown.
