Upcoming BarnraisingsOpen Science Lab Barnraising, Guangzhou, ChinaDates: October 14th and 15th 2018 Theme: Land and Community - Global Vision, Local Perspective Venue: Open Science Laboratory, Huashi Junior High School, Changzhou Island, Guangzhou On this page:
Basic Logistics:**Registration:" For those traveling in to China from out of country, you can use the Eventbrite Registration Here Time: October 14th, 2018, 8:00 pm, 18:00 pm (Foreign participant accommodation is available from the evening of the 13th) Accommodation: 4 student residence halls, each with 2 showers and toilets. Local participants are strongly advised to stay on the island as well. Meals: This event will coveer 3 meals on the first day (14th) and brunch on the second day. Based on Chinese cuisine, it offers vegetarian and special diets. Transportation: It is convenient to reach Cheung Chau Island by public transportation. Those in need, we will greet at the dock. Language: Chinese and English. The number of Chinese participants is currently expected to be more than English, with 5-10 volunteer translators on site. Registration Costs: Registration fees help us to put on this event. The $62USD registration covers housing for two nights (15th and 16th) and meals at the event. You are also welcome to join on for just a day (15th or 16th) with a registration fee of $32USD. We are also offering an extra night of housing before the event starts for $12 for those coming in from out of town. The costs for putting on the event exceeds what we ask for in registration, we appreciate donations for those who can help to support the event! About this eventWhat is a Barnraising?Barnraisings (or in Chinese "Barn Parties") are the closest thing there is to a Public Lab conference -- open to the public and with an emphasis on "doing stuff together." At these events, people come together to exchange field-tested technical knowledge, compare advocacy tactics, and share stories in person. There have been 13 Barnraisings in the United States since 2012, it's time for the first Barnraising in China! At this event, participants share the local technology practice, the topics they want to explore, their own stories, and more. The event does not have an established agenda. On the first morning of the event, we make our own schedule using an "Open Space Technology" approach; this ensures that the agenda speaks directly to the interests of the people present. There are usually several activities happening at the same time at Barnraisings, some are discussions, some are hands-on, and some go into the field to practice. Wherever you are, you must follow the Code of Conduct in order to exercise respect and maintain a safe space for everyone to participate. Generally, in a Barnraising, you can:
Who will comeAs a "meeting" rather than a "meeting", we don't have any part of the guest's speech or demonstration experiment, although some people will want to talk a little more, and some workshops may be someone to lead, which is normal. We hope that everyone will be self-expression, collaboration and contribution, and hope that everyone will come with the problem they want to solve, rather than stop and watch a novelty. The current forecast is that our main participants will come from the Public Lab community, the Gathering for Open Source Hardware, the local ecological and agricultural community of Cheung Chau Island, the Guangzhou Open Source Technology Community, scientists and research. Sociologists in science and technology, makers in the Pearl River Delta, social activists, environmental actors, artists, science and educators, etc. Based on the limitations of venue and organizational capabilities, the ideal number of participants is around 40. If you don't need to filter by your needs, you will balance gender, age, and occupation to ensure the diversity of participants. Confirmed participants can move here ( you can edit the page via wiki after registering with Public Lab), or graphite shared documents for a short self-introduction. About the Theme: Land and CommunityWhat is the connection between us and the land we live in? Do we have the power to decide on local development and planning? Do we still have "in-place technology"? Is there any way to help us better understand and respond to local environmental issues? How do we communicate technology in the face of the next generation? What are the characteristics of the community based on different geographical relationships, and what are the common demands? How does technology develop and share in the local community? Can the community define the problem itself through data and research? How can technology directly help the community solve problems? In today's globalized technology, it is difficult to see technological exploration from local needs and perspectives. Although there are some traces in food and architecture, ranging from everyday items to industrial manufacturing, we are increasingly relying on unified theories and practices. While enjoying great convenience, the disappearance of the community, the alienation of the land, the environmental crisis, etc. all allow us to reflect on whether there is a better path for scientific and technological development. The reason for choosing this theme is also because the meeting place is on Cheung Chau Island. This is not far from the urban area of Guangzhou, the land is collectively owned, and many islanders still make a living from farming. Such rural attributes have attracted many friends from Guangzhou who are engaged in environmental protection, sustainable living and alternative education to live on the island for a long time. Sham Tseng has a strong community atmosphere and hopes that all friends from other places will feel this during the meeting. Get Involved with event supportThere is no one manager of a Barnraising. The event's planning and support depend on the efforts of everyone. Please sign up to participate in the the support committees to help make this event possible! Meal prep and cleanup: help statistics participants' dietary needs, food preparation, kitchen coordination, tea break purchase, etc. Logistics support: help coordinate the venue, daily cleaning, Social media: Helping photography, video, social media publishing, media risk control, etc. Event documentation and facilitation: Helps record meeting discussions and make a daily newsletter, Barnraiser Organizing off-time fun activities: Prepare for board games, beer, music, outdoor activities, etc., so that everyone can participate easily. Tool Equipment support: Helps to count the various tools and equipment carried by participants, which may be used for environmental investigation, scientific analysis, teaching, workshops, etc. History of BarnraisingsEvery Fall since 2012, Public Lab hosts a Gulf Coast Barnraising, also referred to as the Annual Barnraising. Additionally, since 2014, we host a Regional Barnraising every summer through partnerships with local groups working on place-specific issues such as restoring wetlands on depleted farmland, monitoring the largest landfill in LA County, assessing petcoke pollution in Southeast Chicago, and timelapse imaging mountain top removal explosions in West Virginia.

About the BarnraisingBarnraisings are the closest thing there is to a Public Lab conference -- open to the public and with an emphasis on "doing stuff together." At these events, people come together to exchange field-tested technical knowledge, compare advocacy tactics, and share stories in person. On the first morning of the event, we make our own schedule using an "Open Space Technology" approach; this ensures that the agenda speaks directly to the interests of the people present. Our Code of Conduct applies here as in all other Public Lab spaces. At a Barnraising, people may:
Every Fall since 2012, Public Lab hosts a Gulf Coast Barnraising, also referred to as the Annual Barnraising. Additionally, since 2014, we host a Regional Barnraising every summer through partnerships with local groups working on place-specific issues such as restoring wetlands on depleted farmland, monitoring the largest landfill in LA County, assessing petcoke pollution in Southeast Chicago, and timelapse imaging mountain top removal explosions in West Virginia.

July 2018: This summer we are gathering for three days in Newark, part of the NJ/NY metropolitan region with coastal neighborhoods & infrastructure vulnerable to storm surges and flooding. On Day One, we will focus on the Crisis Convening topic. On Day Two & Three, the agenda-setting power moves to the participants for the Barnraising.
ScheduleRegister by Friday July 6th, 2018:We have travel support and fee waivers available: please get in touch with shannon @ publiclab.orgLocation: New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark. Central King Building "CKB" Room 116 (seats 80), and two additional breakout classrooms (seats 30-45).
MeetingSpaceSee pictures of 1) room 116 in Central King Building where we will be meeting, 2) the breakout classroom 114, and 3) the adjacent student lounge: Committees
What do we mean by Crisis Convening?Hurricane season 2017: Harvey, Irma, and Maria—each storm spreading more devastation across the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. Many months later, communities are still recovering—especially Puerto Rico, where our government has outright failed its citizens. Our climate is obviously changing, and the resulting storms are intensifying: tornadoes, floods, even earthquakes (probably unrelated to climate, but now a new threat in areas with heavy fracking). We do not seem to be particularly well-prepared. There are official response agencies with mandates to rescue, feed, heal, and rebuild; however, the true first responders are always people who live in the affected regions: neighbors and community leaders. After 2017’s hurricane season, a network of people formed with interest in improving the capacity for disaster response to more effectively support local priorities and leadership in times of crisis. Together, this network and Public Lab are now calling for the convening of people who have worked together through crises such as Sandy, Harvey, Irma, Maria, and the like. Together, we will share experiences and skills, explore ways to promote equity and justice through modern crisis response, and build resources for community-first response on Friday, June 13, and then continue the conversation over the weekend of Barnraising: Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15.

Look for the sign-up sheet in the main room. Note: All other timeslots are dedicated to interactive formats, not one-directional presentations. Reporters are needed to take notes on activities, to be written up into a newspaper each evening. One page flyer (PDF, good for email/print): 2018_Newark_Barnraising_Announcement.pdf.

Many months later, communities are still recovering—especially Puerto Rico, where our government has outright failed its citizens. Our climate is obviously changing, and the resulting storms are intensifying: tornadoes, floods, even earthquakes (probably unrelated to climate, but now a new threat in areas with heavy fracking). We do not seem to be particularly well-prepared. There are official response agencies with mandates to rescue, feed, heal, and rebuild; however, the true first responders are always people who live in the affected regions: neighbors and community leaders. After 2017’s hurricane season, a network of people formed with interest in improving the capacity for disaster response to more effectively support local priorities and leadership in times of crisis. Together, this network and Public Lab are now calling for the convening of people who have worked together through crises such as Sandy, Harvey, Irma, Maria, and the like. Together, we will share experiences and skills, explore ways to promote equity and justice through modern crisis response, and build resources for community-first response on Friday, June 13, and then continue the conversation over the weekend of Barnraising: Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15.
