World University and School
{Open} Business Meeting – Agenda (hour-long meeting)
February 13, 2016
9 a.m., Pacific Time


Email - worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com - if you'd like to participate.


In preparation for World University and School's open monthly business meeting on Saturday, February 13th at 9 am Pacific Time in a G+ group video Hangout from this related G+ Profile page - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ScottMacLeodWUaS/posts (from which you should be able to click "JOIN HANGOUT") - I think everyone should use a gmail address, - and have added each other to their circles. 


1. Welcome and Greetings

Greetings!

NEWS about World University and School: 

1 World University and School is a client in the UC Berkeley Law "New Business Practicum" course - https://www.law.berkeley.edu/new-business-practicum/ - meeting first today with Professor Bill Kell and a great student legal team of 3 Practicum Associates at Berkeley Law to focus on the legal and business side of World University and School. 

2 WUaS is exploring collaborating with UC Berkeley and all of the University of California with WUaS/Berkeley together seeking another 100,000 student applicants on top of the first time ever Berkeley achievement of getting 100,000 applicants in a Cal /  WUaS partnership for free best STEM CC OCW WUaS degrees for overseas students in English where Cal would get some portion of the $44,000/year it costs to go to MIT /Stanford Haverford for tuition from WUaS via countries' governments, and also incubation for accreditation.

3 WUaS will seek in this course to develop the WUaS "front page" - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and "front end" now in two languages - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/ and http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_De_Wiki/ - and "back end" planned in Wikidata/Wikibase, by this spring so high school students and their parents can begin to decide whether to apply to accrediting WUaS this autumn, again for free best STEM CC OCW WUaS degrees first for overseas students in English.

4 WUaS needs your help. You can make 501 (c) (3), U.S., federal, tax-deductible contributions directly to World University and School, P.O. Box 442, (86 Ridgecrest Road), Canyon, California, 94516.

Dual-Board development, re for example: http://www.andover.edu/About/Newsroom/Pages/Equity-inclusion-top-of-mind-for-trustees.aspx. For example, would the "WUaS 501 c 3 Creative Commons' Core Board" - the current one (with much development and change ahead) - be focusing on finances re this Phillips Academy Andover Board "Equity & inclusion top of mind for trustees" article's issues, for example, while the possible "WUaS for-profit publicly traded Board to be" be focusing on Corporation development - all very very separately? How would this work? How would these Boards communicate and not communicate? 

c.
Re FORKING WUaS into CC Core and a possibly more commercial side  ... A fruitful comparison or metaphor? MIT Prof @eboyden3 http://edge.org/conversation/ed_boyden-how-the-brain-is-computing-the-mind …
To http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Brain_and_Cognitive_Sciences …? 
Planned in ALL 7943+ languages "You want to have academia for that serendipitous ability to connect dots and collaborate, and you want companies when it’s time to push hard and just get the thing done and scale up and get it out the door. What I would hope to engineer in the coming maybe decade or so are hybrid institutions where we can have people go back and forth because you might need to have an idea that would go back and forth a bit until it matures."

West Usambara two-horned chameleon: How best will WUaS be able to pair individuals of different Languages (in all 8k) who want to learn the other's http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/index.php?title=Languages ? … Begin a school in your language with this SUBJECT TEMPLATE - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/index.php?title=Template:SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - as this list of languages populates to all ~ 8 thousand languages, Send WUaS an email, Now how best to turn WUaS's SUBJECT TEMPLATE and related, and into real templates probably with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in MediaWiki (which would have to develop to support HTML 5 I think), and then begin to develop in Wikidata / Wikibase? What would some initial (defining even) querying re SQL, and inter-lingually be?, Here are the retiring Languages and SUBJECT TEMPLATE wiki subject pages in Wikia, All languages as wiki schools - and for a universal translator - and questions of consciousness re the brain even - at WUaS is far-reaching, I'll add language learning pairing section to WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE ...

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/west-usambara-two-horned-chameleon-how.html


Panther chameleon: Meeting process - Friendly-informed "Recording Clerk" as WMF scribe for ArchCom and MediaWiki?, What a Clerk does re WUaS, Actual/virtual Harbin Hot Springs ethnographic book editing, What translation focus does the Wikimedia Foundation Architecture Committee have?

Myristica fragrans: Can music be taught as transformation?

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/myristica-fragrans-can-music-be-taught.html


Canna: Liking GD drummer's Mickey Hart's Twiter description: "I play the drums. Transformation is the object. Member of the mind bending, spiritual adventure known as the Grateful Dead," Great too to see at least 3 other Grateful Dead band members on Twitter: Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann (Check out a picture of many of them here) and Phil Lesh, Check out too the Grateful Dead wiki subject page at World University and School, which will grow with time and wiki-ness, How can WUaS even teach and learn the "transformation" Mickey Hart writes about in online jamming and even in the WUaS music school ...?, Such transformations can be most enjoyable ... :), See too this recent "Viola: 3 great recent articles about Harbin ... " blog post re some articles about what the Grateful Dead were doing in the Harbin Hot Springs' kitchen ... (and about my upcoming Harbin ethnographic book), Start here at 47:15 for Mickey Hart on drums into a kind of transformation

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/canna-liking-gd-drummers-mickey-harts.html


Rose: What single MIT OCW course might be suitable for training T-shaped professionals (with depth and breadth of knowledge) toward a certificate and in terms of industry-university collaborations?, WUaS will explore offering these courses individually for certificates and as part of WUaS Bachelor in a business major), and Ph.D. degrees while planning to accredit on MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) and eventually in all countries' main languages for online university degrees.

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/rose-what-single-mit-ocw-course-might.html


Gladiolus: The basis for a WUaS universal translator? Not Natural Language Processing (i.e. Watson), rather an IBM Controlled Language Processing (CLP), "Conversational sensemaking Preece and Braines," To WUaS_Universal_Translator, But how would the translation itself in this model work, And in particular could this integrate with Google Translate for example?, And could we explore developing this as a test case at WUaS MediaWiki from English to German in Wikidata/Wikibase, among all 7,938+ pairs of languages?, Furthermore, In what ways can upcoming virtual Harbin (in ScienceSim, or in OpenSim?) be designed to help develop translation of both IMAGES and, for example, OPERA, INTERACTIVELY, opera-wise and image-wise, for WUaS's universal translator ...?, And in what ways could this WUaS Universal Translator be used as test cases to translate books, such as my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" and other academic ones?

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/gladiolus-basis-for-universal.html


Eucalyptus: Happy MLK Jr Day, It's specifically translating both CC STEM best OCW (e.g. CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) courses into all countries' main languages (as well as into all 7,938) and for free CC university degrees, as well as translating WUaS MediaWiki pages - for which WUaS would like to develop our WUaS Universal Translator, See, too: "Rufous babbler: If one were to design Universal Translator plans," WUaS used Google Translate for the following English WUaS in MediaWiki to WUaS in MediaWiki, And See Also: "Naja naja - Indian Cobra: WUaS is "coiled" in a sense with the new worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki ... >" In developing a universal translator, WUaS will focus particularly on languages in Africa, and facilitating best STEM CC OCW degrees in these and in African languages and countries, WUaS seeks to become the Harvard of the internet in all African countries, Happy MLK Jr Day!

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/eucalyptus-happy-mlk-jr-day-its.html


Jasminum sambac: Are you editing WUaS from - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/ - into Wikidata today, Peeps? Planned in all countries and 7,938+ Languages, You'll need to register in WUaS MediaWiki to edit the English language http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/ or German language http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_De_Wiki/ wiki WUaS universities - or to start a University in your own or another language, since I don't think it's possibly to edit anonymously anymore, in order to prevent vandalism

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/jasminum-sambac-are-you-editing-wuas.html



Viola: 3 great recent articles about Harbin after the fire, "Harbin's Robert Hartley aka Ishvara," "The Fire at Harbin Hot Springs," "Everything Gone but the Water," Interesting observations about the Grateful Dead at Harbin in these articles, Interview too with the publisher, Rob Sidon, of Common Ground Magazine from 2011, Re a new Academic Press at WUaS and publishing my actual / virtual Harbin ethnography, here's a poetry book published through CreateSpace affiliated with Amazon. And the 2nd Twitter post has CreateSpace's choices for ISBN book numbers. To add the new Academic Press at WUaS, I'll probably use the Universal ISBN option. Furthermore, to anticipate publishing my and others' poetry, WUaS may create other parts of the WUaS Press, Distinguishing between becoming a Publisher and Imprints, Kindle conversion

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/viola-3-great-recent-articles-about.html


Rivers of the world: Best job in the world ... children's librarian & being the head of World University and School, but I haven't thought of this in this way yet, And field work at Harbin possibly over a life time (are we going to live to 220?), That "work" word from a Scottish perspective carries interesting connotations, Made a lot of progress yesterday and am on target for a Valentine's Day publication date, In this vein, on with exploring re-learning practicing two musical instruments, "Live to be 220? Good Lord, I hope NOT," With good quality of life (and good nutrition) ... absatutely ... and with finding/discovering the on-off switch or cello bow stroke of eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology as neurobiology

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/rivers-of-world-best-job-in-world.html


Freshwater mussels: MediaWiki doesn't yet support HTML 5, the standard for building web pages these days, but I think they will. And WUaS MediaWiki in seeking to develop in all 7,938+ languages will need web authoring tools that support these, Adobe Dreamweaver is excellent software for this, I think, but probably doesn't support all languages

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/freshwater-mussels-mediawiki-doesnt-yet.html


Naja naja - Indian Cobra: WUaS is "coiled" in a sense with the new worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki ... > ... to go into all 7,938 languages in Wikidata / Wikibase with machine translation, Music as work ~ how flourishingly, fulsomely, and skillfully, and with great fun in the music-making itself (in Google Hangouts), as well?, To explore the musics of Italy WUaS, Japan WUaS, Scotland WUaS, Germany WUaS, Yet, Google Translate doesn't translate or support Scottish Gaelic, and MIT OCW Translated Courses aren't yet in Italian or Japanese, WUaS is seeking to explore putting the ~2300 CC MIT OCW courses in English, and Yale OYC into the infoboxes in Wikipedia/Wikidata for eventual machine learning, translation and AI developments, Now how will the Music Schools for ALL instruments in ALL languages coil for flourishing music generation? And Watsu (water shiatsu) :)?

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/naja-naja-indian-cobra-wuas-is-coiled.html


Short-beaked echidna: With all WUaS's developments with structured, machine learning and AI ahead, wiki World University and School holds and grows the space for peoples in knowledge generation as well as very enjoyable learning conversations, Keeping the human teachers in the picture too, with all the abundant educational visions ... Many to many education and with teachers and best STEM CC OCW (e.g. CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC)

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/short-beaked-echidna-with-all-wuass.html


Koala: A major University in each countries' main language with AI? What's the WUaS vision for AI and machine learning as we develop in all 7,938 languages+?, An universal translator in all 7,938+ languages, and especially for STEM research, Scientific and especially philosophical questions of consciousness, where all phonemes in sound files, and corresponding written text, as well as in individual letters+ - with a developing list of ALL symbols (in unicode?) - as open linked data databases, What are some helpful visions for understanding some of the implications of machine learning and artificial intelligence?, And then the linking of this data where machine learning can extend infinitely for asking questions in so many ways is one, In what ways can WUaS add the seeds of machine learning and AI to these schools above, and for example in terms of an all-languages, all-instruments Music School?, Machine translation of my Harbin ethnographic book - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and indeed any publication - with implications in terms of the power of symbols and ideas, is another fascinating potential of WUaS AI

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/01/koala-major-university-in-each.html


Caryota: Harbin is a big river flowing out of the 1960s ... And my upcoming actual virtual Harbin ethnography explores how this works in many ways ~ http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html ~ including how it's streaming into the online virtual and virtual worlds, My upcoming book due out around Valentine's Day also focuses on ways in which such a virtual Harbin and virtual earth will be used for STEM research, and for what I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ...
