Hi Lab!

·         Please take a minute today to fill out https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGdybDNiYVF6WGRYdTQxb0lPTVBfY3c6MA#gid=0 so Rocky can get your business cards printed by the end of this week!

And here is my usual weekly summary:

·         Last week John Milinovich spoke in front of a standing-room only ballroom - we hear that dozens more were held back by the bouncers. Write-up coming soon!

·         Yesterday, the info session for the 5- half day SDR class at Berkeley this fall, was a success. Good students, including 3 quant sociology grad students. http://ischool2012.wikispaces.com . It was followed by a very productive meeting about our framework C (content, commerce, community; context, connection, conversation) with Anthony and Gam. Need to figure out what the best audience is for their papers! Any suggestions? Email the three of us.

·         Next Monday, May 7 (Gates 459 9am) is the SDL Summit (Healthcare, Social Data, and Social Media): Ajit, Aldo, Garrett, Jerome, Jim, Kavinda (so far), please make sure your times are correct on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C2iEF6yRM01IoxwDnO1SYb_4nqJQdnLAOiVhXJu9wO8/edit

·         The Vegas trip to the Data Science Summit I could not push through, there only will be a chat with the Time Magazine editor – see below. If someone wants to attend without being on stage, let me know today, please.)

·         However, the date May 20 (San Francisco, 2pm) for our annual retreat is fixed: We have Addy, Ajit, Aldo, Austin (has car), and Jim so far. Please drop me an email with topics you want to see on the agenda.

On my way to the Internet Identity Workshop, and then class with the mid-term student project presentation, including the Branchout, Meetup, and Wikipedia teams!

Andreas, 

 

I spoke with Maxine and Annika, and the conclusion was to not hold the fireside chat in Vegas, although we appreciate the offer. 

 

In answer to your question below about covering expenses, yes--we have reserved a hotel room in your name (and not of the $39 variety, don't worry--it's at the Venetian)--I just need to know if you need it both nights, the 22nd and the 23rd. 

 

Here is the way to book airfare so that it's covered directly:

 

Please email Nancy Malone, our travel agent for this event at  nancy.b...@aexp.com, and refer to the Data Science Summit. Please include in your email the city/state you are traveling from and your preferred departure times.  You will also need to provide your phone number, date of birth, and full name as it appears on your government issued ID in order for you to book your flight. Nancy will work with you to set you up on the right flights. If needed you can call Nancy at 1-888-362-8728 prompt #6. 

 

Thanks,

Alison

Attached are a few talking points for social data lab fireside chat on Tue and for the social data roundtable on Wed. For your comments, the easiest is probably to use track changes and shoot it back to me? Also, can you cover expenses directly?
