### Take-home - Post-meeting summary

We discussed:

- **Power and understanding** as dual aspects of language in a meeting and in a community
- **Contribution in the commons** of the meeting: the workings of translating and interpreting should be visible on the face of the meeting. It is **shared, mutualised work** , a work contribution in the commons of understanding and skill.
- **Language check** as an opening protocol in meetings.
- **Cards in commons** , a social game of commoning and its enemies - in multiple languages, with dual language content on any card.
- **Automated translation** possibilities
- **Tech strategies** within a meeting, experimented with:
- 
  - a shared Etherpad in plural languages (coded in colours)

- 
  - parallel rooms in BBB, one room per language.

- 
  - closed captions

- **A protocols approach** has central importance (recognising contributors’ identities, resting in active facilitation in the meeting), in contrast with (in conjunction with) a tech approach (pads/parallel rooms/captions/automated translation - as above)
- **Timespan:** “The meeting is not just the meeting” - also pre- and post- work (design, research, async contributions, etc)
- **Documentation** of the practices and capabilities we’re speaking of. **Agreed** to explore ongoing documentation projects (commons.camp, Remix wiki, commons.card, [meet.coop](http://meet.coop) handbook. Etc?) and in-process media resources.
- **European Social Forum gathering** , Firenze, Nov 2022. **Agreed** to collaborate in bringing today’s insights and skills to design and facilitate of some elements at ESF2022. **Agreed** to stay in touch as we learn about the preparations (Remix, [meet.coop](http://meet.coop) in contact with Jason Nardi/RIPESS, femProcomuns).
- **Links** from the meeting are in the meeting discussion thread: [Session#9 discussion - #2 by mikemh](https://forum.meet.coop/t/session-9-discussion/1029/2)
- Links also part-duplicated in the French notes: [Framapad semestriel](https://semestriel.framapad.org/p/commons-hour-9v0f)
