Good morning everyone and apologies for this late post. This week NTARI will be on pause as I focus on catching up on Code:Lou courses. I will be maintaining contact with our volunteers who are busy producing media for Node.Nexus. On Friday I will check in for an informal review.
STAY CONNECTED
80% accuracy week. Major failure was applying for National Science Foundation. Deadline is Feb 3 but the application was very complex. Rather than attempting, I focused on Code:You coursework. I will continue to focus on Code:You in order to be equipped for our future work.
I filled out a survey for Jefferson County Public Schools that suggests using Consul Democracy, an app developed by the Madrid city counsel as a replacement for the role of superintendent. I will be publishing it in Node.Nexus next week.
PLANNING
Today, I'll be handling administrative work and catching up on Code:You courses. We made several contacts to funders and workshop hosts to advance our mission.
RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Tomorrow, I'll reach out to our new and current volunteers for updates and direction. I'll be updating our Candid Guidestar profile and working on Code:You as well.
RESEARCH
On Wednesday, I'll begin our applicatio for a National Science Foundation Grant. I'll also work on next month's blog post and if I have time, I'll test some APIs that may let us build the Agrinet as a web app.
Of course, we appreciate ALL our supporters and volunteers, but I want to give a special thank you to our international donors. This week we received over 200 Turkish Lira, and nearly the same in Algerian Dinar and Afghhan Afgani.
And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings [b]for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.” --the Gospel of Luke 21:1-4
To the people of Turkey I say "teşekkür ederim ve iyi günler. Sizi İstanbul Modern Sanat Müzesi'nde görmeyi umuyoruz"
The space for NTARI. Make some noise...we are listening
