Erkan Yilmaz
level 1: I have not read yet a complete text by Chomsky
via a friend I got to know some of his ideas and that's why I'm interested
Eihpossophie
Level 1: I have read bits & pieces by Chomsky
I'd be happy to participate for about a month and would be able to spend around 2 -3 hours a week.
hughm
Level 1: my knowledge is limited to the Wikipedia introduction on Chomsky
but I'm an expert in constructing grammatically correct sentences (although obviously semantically incoherent)
M. B., Jr.
level 1: Now reading Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (in slow motion)
stimulating a friend to get acquainted with Chomsky's ideas:-)
Roberto Alfonso Salamanca D Granda
Level 1: When I was in the University, I read about Chomsky papers in two classes, but Level 1 is good to start. I do not know what I have to do for get into this reading group and the dates and suggested readings.
todos for kickoff-meeting
verify requirements, e.g.:
if interest in videos: can everybody play the videos (on youtube, commons)?
if not: download + convert + give them links
chat protocols, outcomes (summaries, ...) can be made public? (for future learners)
chat protocol: if someone doesn't want this: user lines will be removed + summarized?
todo: find more videos
(I'll try to find them, but if someone wants to help out: feel free! and thanks)
find out if someone has more experience with a specific Chomsky work (so we as group can benefit from this)
feedback to Wikiversity:Colloquium#Noam Chomsky reading group
see questions below
...
which day would be ok for the kick-off meeting?
So we do not lose time, it'd be great if you can fill in here already on which day we can meet for the kick-off (and discuss questions, ideas, ...)
we'll add the specific date later (since this reading group was initiated on 21.1. I guess we can wait 1 week OR until we get 5 participants or so at least):
my timezone is: UTC+1 preferred time (for all days): 7 AM to midnight (though I can also make other times work, I think the kick-off meeting won't be taking more than 20 mins, if you add your/some questions beforehand here) audio/video: if possible I don't want to use Skype, but other, opensource software instead (but depends on majority of course)
