@alysonsee Thank you! I'll bear that in mind - bit of a flying visit this time (only three days)

@bhaugen Yes, well a PLN is something that is both something that happens to you (in terms of your environment) and things you choose.
We're hoping that #MoodleNet contributes to the latter 😀

@bhaugen I don't, actually. I think the agency will come through affinity groups rather than individual technical know-how.

Are tiny conferences and meetups better than big ones?

@noeldemartin https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ is a good read - given all that I use a single field for name, and ask for other specific (e.g. "how should we address you") if necessary.

We're continuing to work with Outlandish co-op on #MoodleNet front-end dev. It's all starting to come together!

Land value tax is perhaps the most popular tax among economists, left to right. From Joseph Stiglitz (see Henry George Theorem) to Milton Friedman (who called it the least bad tax). It's been a success everywhere it's been implemented, from Singapore to Denmark.
It's:
- Progressive
- Impossible to move offshore or shift to tenants
- No deadweight losses, no distortions, as taxing land doesn't reduce the amount of land. -

Thanks to @Downes @bhaugen @jasongreen @clintlalonde & @wakest for feedback and questions on a slide deck I shared yesterday.
I've updated it, explicitly framing it as 'non-technical. I'd appreciate further feedback if anyone has it on structure and approach?

@jasongreen Yes, you're right. One slide deck to rule them all probably won't cut it.

@bhaugen No more details on that at the moment (@mayel is on holiday!) but yes need to rethink the whole deck really.
