We just had our first meeting of the Open Social Incubator cohort today. So inspiring to meet these extraordinary people from around the world. I can't wait for the communities they build here.

What a fantastic project! Is there a handbook we could look at if we wanted to replicate this in Aotearoa? I'm thinking particularly of reaching out to tangata whenua (indigenous people) to help them communicate autonomously online.

@strypey @CaitlinWaddick We'll publish outcomes from it probably next summer! And in the new year we'll open up an online forum with the cohort. Get on the @medlab newsletter for updates.
