A thread to coordinate the selection of readings!

Add at least one reading suggestion to the spreadsheet

Please check 'yes' when you've added at least one book to the spreadsheet! Once we have the initial list, we'll initiate the first readings selection process...

Okay, I think we're almost ready to get started. I've added a random book selector to the spreadsheet, here:

Feel free to tweak it. If that works for folks, in the next few days, I'll run it to generate options for a poll. So please get your suggestions into the "Proposed Books" section now if you haven't already :-)

Coooooooool! I had no idea you could do that in a spreadsheet! Since the check poll has closed, I would say go ahead with the poll ASAP! Please include a link to the spreadsheet on the poll and highlight the selected books so people can find the relevant ones easily. I dehighlight and rehighlight each month for my hackerspace club...

Cool stuff! How do we pick the "finalists" though? They all are very interesting :)

Erik MoellerTue 30 Jan 2018 1:21AM

I've used the RNG to pick five books from the spreadsheet, and I suggest we each pick our top 3 among those (I narrowed it to 3 so we have to make an additional tradeoff choice beyond the ranking, but I figure we'll iterate on the voting process as we go).

This is my first Lomio vote so please let me know if I messed anything up :)

What should be the first book for the reading group?

These proposals were randomly chosen from the suggestions spreadsheet. See the spreadsheet for details about each book:

Just a reminder that the poll closes tomorrow so if you haven't already, please get your votes in - thanks :)

A random selection of books from the shared spreadsheet. Please select your top 3 to determine which one we'll read for our second reading group selection.

You can find more details about each book in the spreadsheet (this months candidates are highlighted in yellow): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZvZ_MLq1dAVBCY7-e9Iylg-qxWYqkcptjvOnkyOTeTA/edit#gid=0

Reading Selection 3rd Book

ranked choice by Matt Noyes Closed Sun 29 Apr 2018 10:02PM

Outcome
by Matt Noyes Mon 30 Apr 2018 2:12AM

The good news is we have chosen our next reading: Ours to Hack and to Own: The Rise of Platform Cooperativism.
The bad news is I was the person who put that on the list, meaning that I am facilitating twice in a row -- if anyone would rather facilitate this one, feel free. ;-)

Rank your choices.
