'MIT Alumni Startups NorCal Co-working space at Goodwin's Th Sep 10, 2026' - Next on Th Oct 15, 2026 at Goodwin's on Market Street in SF
Dear Dane (Patterson, at Goodwin's), Shuja (Keen, MIT '99), (Roland Vogl, and Peter Norvig), MIT Alumni Startups' Founders SF, All,
Greetings! Looking forward to talking with and asking you some questions, Dane, especially about World Univ & Sch's / the WUaS Corporations' 2 wings, with potential incredible synergies between them, on Thursday 10/1526 at Goodwin's in the MIT Alums' NorCal Founders' co-working space.
Thursday, October 8, 2026 Ouachita blazing star (liatris compacta): How best for free-to-students' World University and School to develop a store within a store model World University and School WUaS Corp / WUaS Educational Services' Stores in 19/200 countries that Walmart is in - and for WUaS outreach to students especially? * World University and School Mail Scott MacLeod Automatic reply: EXT: How best for free-to-students' World University and School to develop a store within a store model World University and School WUaS Corp / WUaS Educational Services' Stores in 19/200 countries that Walmart is in - and for WUaS out... Walmart Investor Relations Thu, Oct 8, 2026 at 10:56 AM To: Scott MacLeod
but haven't heard back from CEO John Furner / Walmart yet via email besides an autoresponder missive.
Also how best for WUaS to begin to code potentially for Pi Cryptocurrency for all 7.9 billion people on both wings of WUaS - https://minepi.com/?u=sgkmac - and re the Pi-WUaS partnering email, eg even potentially in the WUaS educational services stores, and eg if central banks in all 200 countries were to get Pi Cryptocurrency from the WUaS Corporation, and to reimburse WUaS for matriculated students in P, something on the order of $65,000 per student per year from the rich countries, for online free-to-students' WUaS degrees from home ? Peter (Norvig), Roland (Vogl), others?
Shuja (Keen) - WUaS is still exploring accreditation possibilities, and while One-League, which you mentioned, appears to have licensed with BPPE - Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education in California (which WUaS looked into in around 2012, and while exploring Accreditation with WASC Senior then, like Stanford and the UCs and other west coast and some international universities, I think), it didn't appear to be accredited when I last looked. Looking forward to talking further about this. An accredited World University and School would allow WUaS to seek reimbursement from all 50 US states departments of education, and all 200 countries ministries of education, and re the CC-4 licensed (1) share, 2) adapt, 3) but non-commercially) licensing attributions of MIT OCW in 7 languages. (WUaS has the green light to accredit with Middle States Commission on Higher Education MSCHE in the greater Philadelphia area, and is now looking to accredit possibly in Germany building in the Open edX Europe platform ... but is looking for other options ... partner with MIT itself re MIT's NECHE accreditation)? And see some other things that accreditation does here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2026/10/mount-whitney-ca-m-101226-101926-open.html & https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/10/mount-whitney-ca.html (in yesterday's Weekly Business Meeting loosely conducted in the manner of unprogrammed Friends NtFs Quakers).
And could WUaS begin to hire some MIT alumni managers even out of the "You're Not Building Alone" MITAS MIT Alumni Startups' Founder Co-Working Program in partnership with Goodwin?
There may also be a Stanford Law CodeX presentation online on Thursday from 1:30-2:30 per Roland Vogl last week, which I may be watching - with some of you as co-work? - and re further WUaS-Stanford collaboration too?; The WUaS Corporation incorporated, with an AI ChatBot LawDroid writing its Articles of Incorporation in 2017, just after a Stanford Law CodeX presentation at Stanford. Both wings of WUaS are planned as major world class universities in each of all 200 countries and in their main languages, and for speakers of all 7159 known living languages in these countries, and as wiki schools for people-to-people wiki-teaching and wiki-learning (potentially newly with Chat GPT or similar - Akhilan?), and from there, WUaS seeks to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here, each a Wikidata PIN # - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and potentially to end poverty worldwide while facilitating wiki free universal education too?
Akhilan, others, might we start building out a forked Google Street View with time slider too and for aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drug therapies emerging, and as STEM field sites, and publishing inventing the book anew at the WUaS Press? (And see the PS and PPS below).
Amazingly, free-to-students' World University and School, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, is continuing to get WUaS as 200 world class universities online, too, for a song!

And nice to 'e-meet' you, Richard (brgappleid@outlook.com, which I found on LinkedIN), in the Fettes AGM which I viewed yesterday here - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/fettescollege/2277014- from the SF Bay Area (and in developing free-to-students' World University and School, building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages). Will add you to the World University and School WUaS Weekly Business Meeting WUaS News & Q&A emailings, for further communication about this. Mark's father, Bruce Vincent MacLeod, a favorite of uncle of mine, was a Friend (as in unprogrammed Quakers) too, whom I got to know somewhat well when a student at Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation from ~1987-1990 (near Swarthmore College in the greater Philadelphia PA area), and while working in the PH bookstore / publishing house there (which is an inspiration / model for the WUaS Press planned in 7159 known living languages, as well as the physical-digital WUaS Educational Services Stores in all 200 countries and in their main languages). I've also studied another full year in Edinburgh at the University of Edinburgh in the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies in 2003-2004, and wrote this MSc paper - (and in the PPS).
(And Happy Birthday, Mark, when it comes around again ... and potentially again and again for a very long time into the future with extreme longevity genetic drug therapies emerging potentially and FDA approved, and see the PPPS).
