+- I'm writing this in [[Homemade]] just after hosting a discussion about the Commons and the [[Agora]]. It was great!
+    - The whole three days here so far have been great; I am thankful for the experience.
+    - The first day I came over with [[KM]] and [[David]], they stayed one night. We had a beautiful walk in the vicinity with an imposing view of the Alps.
+    - Yesterday night I worked on setting up a local Agora for the [[Bitwäscherei]] space in Zürich, which [[SGMK}] is a part of.
+    - Tomorrow I leave. I am looking forward to the last night and the last day -- I plan to head bac kto Zürich, probably walking down the mountain to the train station, around 5-6PM on [[2026-07-28]].
+    - I am writing this without really reading the screen, after a new friend of mine perhaps, while I watch a movie I don't quite understand that is exclusively in German without subtitles :)
+    - So these notes might be more disjointed and potentially lillegible than usual, although my standards are quite low many days, and to be honest maybe even rough unedited (even unseen) notes are better than no notes! And no notes has been the general standard in the last few months!
+
+
+---
+
+And then I thought about the [[zine]].
+
+(I wished I could write to [[bouncepaw]] here, right here when I'm writing these notes, and then I realized this was possible. It is literally what I'm doing right now :) -> Wrote in Telegram.)
+
+Today in the conversation associated with the [[Agora presentation]] (and thank you Simon!) [[dusjagr]] shared an LLM generated [[zine]] It didn't quite work when we tried it (it was a demo, after all!) but I liked the idea and realization already a lot. It is a zine that is generated based on the content of some wikis that the LLM is aware of!
+
+-> [[zine generator]] https://weiweiweiopen.github.io/peach-blossom-spring/

+- Thought and discussed some more about the [[Bitwäscherei Agora]] :)
+- I was going to return tonight to Zürich but I decided to stay one extra night and go to work straight from Ebnat-Kappel, work the second half of the day. I have multiple months of vacation saved up so I thought it was a good thing to self-gift (?) :) 
+- I met so many interesting people for the first time! Some that come to mind right away:

+- I love [[KM]]... but :(
+- I ended up going to the [[Zentralwäscherei]] around 17 and stayed until 5am.
+- I spoke to [[Simon]] about the [[Bitwäscherei Agora]], he has very nice ideas! I think we are building the Commons together.
+- I spoke to many people and danced, it was cathartic.
+- I helped fix a computer (to replace one that was broken), tried to help here and there and did some visuals. Many people were doing music and visuals and it was wonderful.

+- [[2026-08-01]] happened and it was memorable in many ways, some sad and some joyful.
+- Today I woke up late after going to bed very late and I spent the day with my mum (and Burup); we played [[canasta]] and then went to the lake at [[Tiefenbrunnen]], we had a great time.
+- Then on the way back home I passed by the [[Wäscherei]] to see who was around/if anything needed doing and to do some work.
+- An impromptu todo:
+    * Review [[zine]] and maybe start the short prose contribution? The city theme is not strong in my contribution so far!
+    * Review one of my [[dragon tasks]] at work, probably the document that's been in continuous revision for six months now (yikes)
+    * Do something more strictly [[Bitwäscherei]] related, maybe write that wiki importer that I added to the [[agora bridge]] scope some time ago? It would make sense given the sources that the internal Agora needs to import.
+    * I talked about the [[Agora]] and linking notes with Adam!

+- Very nice feedback/ideas/interactions with the [[SGMK]]/[[Homemade]] community about the [[Bitwäscherei Agora]]! I'm very grateful.
+- This gave me a nice clear list of further priorities, and I like how they overlap with things I considered through the years and somehow didn't get to yet :) A free form todo list follows.
+- [[Agora Bridge]]:
+    - [[Mediawiki importer]] -- how do I not really have this yet?!
+    - [[RSS importer]] / [[Wordpress importer]] -- same! Although [[Lord Enki]]'s garden/site was one-off imported with something I coded pre-AI, maybe I still have it around somewhere?
+- [[Agora Server]]:
+    * Some nice feedback on the visualization in the Agora! People keep commenting how nice it is, I do think that there is plenty of new ideas to also explore in this space!
+        * I really liked [[dusjagr]]'s bringing up his (and his group's) experiments
