AHA MEDIA’s Waterfront view from their home office in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES ) !
AHA MEDIA is thankful for the small things in life, like our Waterfront view from our home office 🙂
Actually it’s really just a view from the fire escape but we like gazing out the window while planning out our days.
Below are photos of Hendrik Beune, Director of AHA MEDIA in a contemplative mood.

LOCATION, DINNER, DRINKS AND RELATED STUFF ANNOUNCEMENT
I booked the Regis Room downstairs in the St. Regis Grill & Bar (formerly Anducci’s). The St. Regis Hotel is at the corner of Dunsmuir and Granville. It’s directly located outside the Dunsmuir exit of the Skytrain Granville Station, so it’s plenty accesible, and in a downtown location.
I’ve been warned that it might be noisy as the kitchen is right besides the room, but we’ll have to test how things go.
I’ve also been asked whether everybody will want to place dinner orders at the same time. I said that my bloggers were usually very flexible with that.
Drinks and dinner are usually placed on separate bills for each participant (you don’t have to buy dinner OR drinks, but I’ve noticed that many people ask for that, so that’s why I wanted to make sure to hold the meetup at a restaurant/bar).
I hope everyone will like this option. I’m going to be testing different locations through time.
Below is the agenda for the meetup. Starts at 6:00pm (SIX) regardless of when the Meetup.com site says it starts.
Just FYI.

ABSTRACT
Rules, Norms and Web 2.0: Etiquette in an Era of Evolutionary Social [Dis]Organization
Etiquette is frequently seen as a constraining set of behavioral rules, delineating what behaviors are appropriate within a certain social arena and which are not. But in a context of online multiverses, each with its own culture and demographic, what is truly the “right” thing, and how can we know it? Culture clashes and rapid evolution of social norms are ubiquitous in social media: why? What is appropriate etiquette? Is it portable across platforms? What are the ‘right’ kind of rules and norms in an unruly arena such as the online social media world? The participants in this panel will engage in a conversation about what constitutes etiquette, whether or not it relates to a moral imperative, whether it emerges as self-appointed leaders create specific sets of norms and discuss the evolution of etiquette in emergent social media. The implications for codes of behavior and etiquette in Web 2.0 are also discussed.
