Ring-tailed lemur: Good to have headed to the Schoolab SF Grand Opening Party from 3-11 yesterday. Networked with French Consul General, and another Consul General of Denmark for 4 years until recently (and a Vietnamese Consul General)

Dear Alden, Dick, Lucy and Ma,

Speculative, - Warren / Buttigieg or Biden/someone vs not-Mitt-Romney since he's dropped out of running in 2020, and Democrats win Senate? (Partly re impeachment process)?

Good to have headed to the Schoolab SF Grand Opening Party from 3-11 yesterday. Networked with French Consul General, and another Consul General of Denmark for 4 years until recently (and a Vietnamese Consul General). Good to have connected too with what could become a team for the beginning growth of WORLD University and School - CEO and co-founder Jean-Claude Charlet, Cian Mitsunaga (a lawyer and a 'sweetie':), Brittany Bir and Mathieu Aguesse. I met CEO Jean-Claude for the first time, and like him. I had met Brittany, Cian and SF CEO Mathieu a few weeks ago there on the 11th floor of Schoolab SF's new offices.

... I think Schoolab SF and the French Consul General could see WUaS as a great GREAT new business opportunity in many ways ... and esp re the 29 official French language countries out of ~200 in the world. ... and possibly re WUaS facilitating a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, and re all 7.5 billion people on planet, each a Wikidata Q-item number (since WUaS donated ourselves to Wikidata as 'back end' structured knowledge database in Wikipedia's ~300 languages in 2015, and received the front end WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017), - and distributed via Universal Basic Income EXPERIMENTS partly to alleviate poverty ... as well as WUaS plans to create 2.2 million careers in all 200 countries and 7011 known living languages.

How are you? And what are you up to this weekend? :)

Fond regards, Scott

Bonjour Jean-Claude, Mathieu, and Brittany (whose email I don't have),

Thank you for the invitation to the get together this Friday at SF Schoolab International. Does Schoolab engage CC-4 MIT OCW's Sloan School of Management / Business - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/ - in any way, en Anglais? FYI World Univ & Sch, of which I'm the founder, seeks to offer free-to-students' online Bachelor degrees FIRST IN ENGLISH as WUaS accredits with the state of California (BPPE), then MIT OCW-centric business degrees in French.

One 'value proposition' I could see in communicating further incubator-wise is Schoolab's Founders' and Management's connections (https://theschoolab.com/en/about/team/) with your universities in France and their relationship to the French government. Since World Univ & Sch seeks to build from the 'gold mine' or 'mother lode' of Creative Commons' 4 licensed MIT OpenCourseWare (in its 5 languages), where CC-4 licensing says users can, with MIT OCW, A) share it, B) adapt it, C) but non-commercially, WUaS cannot ask for tuition from students - so online WUaS will be free-to-students - but WUaS will seek reimbursement from governments (eg federal, state, local, etc) per student per year; this could extend to all 29 French speaking countries (planned in French - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/French_language).

So, for example, since you -

Jean-Claude Charlet
SCHOOLAB CEO and co-founder

went to ...


- Stanford University Graduate School of Business - Business Administration

- Université Paris La Sorbonne

- ESSEC Business School - Business Administration

... WUaS would like to explore developing networks with these great universities and related governments (eg state of CA in Sacramento, Federal Government in Washington DC, the French government in Paris, etc), and all via the internet.

Similarly, Matthieu, Audiencia's Business School (your alma mater - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathieuaguesse/detail/contact-info/) could benefit from Wolrd Univ & Sch's MIT OCW arrangements. If WUaS could get, over time, French students interested in MIT OCW-centric management degrees, in English and French, and if then WUaS could get reimbursement from the French government due to the CC-4 licensing, and Schoolab's ESSEC, Sorbonne and Audencia's connections, I suspect that people affiliated with French World University and School would do very well for themselves, for example, too.

This would extend to Colombia, (and Uruguay, too, and with regards to Brittany's recent trip there), and with respect to

Ana Maria Zuluaga
Co-founder at Schoolab San Francisco
EHESS - Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales

And WUaS seeks to create online Colombia and Uruguay World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in official / major languages there. Here's the Spanish Language with subject at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Spanish_language - planned in Spanish, and informing major online MIT OCW-centric WUaS Universities in all Spanish speaking countries (21?).

World Univ & Sch seeks to offer online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and Medicine (M.D.) degrees as well as I.B. high school degrees, all online and accrediting, and in ~200 countries' official / main languages.

And while WUaS seeks to offer online Business Degrees at the Bachelor and Ph.D. levels, based on MIT OCW Sloan courses - see WUaS'a 6 present undergraduate majors in the course catalog here ... http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - WUaS hasn't matriculated any undergraduate students for this yet. World Univ & Sch is seeking an online undergraduate class of 500-2000 English speaking students from all 200 countries in the autumn of 2000. WUaS website development in multiple languages will be a major part of this.

I see another 'value proposition' with regard to translating of MIT OCW into French, for example, and job creation as well as knowledge generation for France, and in French-speaking countries. For example, these French universities above, and faculty translators too (learning new courses to teach in French), could benefit from the knowledge in MIT OCW for their own universities. (Againn, this could extend to all countries with French as their official languages too, so in Africa, for example, and for reimbursement too - as well as for knowledge generation).

WUaS is very digitally focused, so not seeking office space, yet I'd like to invite you to Monday Morning 10 am WUaS talk sessions if you might be interested - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1188152443386777601. Could WUaS explore interviewing you here, Jean-Claude, for example?

And for your information too, WUaS is 2 legal entities: A) World University and School, a non-profit 501 c 3 tax exempt charity, and B) the WUaS Corporation / Press a for-profit general stock company. Both are planned in each of all ~200 countries, and in 7111 known living languages, and both are not yet financially operational to speak of. Here are the most recent Minutes to give you more information about WUaS:

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/scintillant-hummingbird-minutes-for.html
(and Larry Viehland, above, is chair of the Board, as well as CFO, acting, on both wings).

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow evening Matthieu - and Jean-Claude if you happen to make a cameo appearance via Skype in the middle of the night :)

à Bientôt, Scott

Bonjour, Jean-Claude,

Looking forward to meeting you at the Grand Opening! And looking forward, too, to talking with you about MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School planned in each of all ~29 French-speaking countries (out of ~200 in world). (Larry Viehland above is the chair of the Board at WUaS, as well as current CFO, and is also the acting Chair of the Board, and acting CFO of the WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press; WUaS is comprised of 2 parallel legal entities; see - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html).

And are you at all in communication with the Stanford Basic Income Lab, and (French) Stanford Philosophy Professor Juliana Bidadanure and its Faculty Director - https://basicincome.stanford.edu/?utm_source=BIL+Newsletter+Fall+Quarter+2019 ? CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School is exploring facilitating Universal Basic Income experiments, and for all 7.5 billion people on planet earth, each a Wikidata Q-item #, and Wikidata Q-item # for 3 other reasons to begin - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html. I know Juliet a little from Stanford UBI talks as well.

Et connaissez-vous Guillemette Fenain (née Renault) de Croissy-sur-Seine (car il peut s'agir d'un tout petit monde)? (C'est une vieille amie qui vit peut-être maintenant en Bretagne / Brittany).

Best regards, Scott

(https://lnkd.in/gKJQYbe - which, in addition to online Bachelor, Ph.D., M.D. and I.B. diplomas in French, for ex., is planning to create online MIT OCW-centric Law Schools - https://lnkd.in/gVJZUdd - also in ~200 countries' languages - https://lnkd.in/gpKDeBU - https://lnkd.in/ggrBf9W too, and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7111 known living languages!)

Jean-Claude, Mathieu, Brittany, Cian and Larry,

One further ginormous brainstorming before meeting you on Wednesday, - and which I just Tweeted to both Brittany, as well a Robert Z, who is the CTO at the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group in the Philadelphia area, I think.

The
@WUaSPress
 seeks to become listed on all ~200 countries' stock markets, and in their languages - esp. as a way to help small countries develop, - and via, brainstorming-wise, collaborating with a Google to write the software whereby companies can get listed on countries' mkts

Much of my thinking is both Google/Alphabet-centric, as well as Stanford-centric re coding questions in this email thread, Jean-Claude, and re your connection as an alumnus of the Stanford GSB as well.

Looking forward to talking with you all of you on Wednesday, and meeting you, Jean-Claude! (I have neither Brittany nor Cian's email addresses, so please forward these to them, if possible!) Thank you.

Jean-Claude, Mathieu, Brittany, Cian and Larry,

Thanks, Cian, for connecting on L.I. and with your email.

WUaS is exploring the possibility of facilitating a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, and distributed via UBI experiments via a Wikidata Q-item # to some of all 7.5 billion people on earth, brainstorming-wise. See, for ex. - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/UBI - and if WUaS develops with Schoolab SF after the Grand Opening, one question will be how best to plan to build 'You at WUaS' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - as Wikidata Q item #s (lists of citizens, for ex.?) in each of 29 countries out of ~200 countries, where French is an official language. (I touch on some of this in today's World Univ & Sch Open Q & A and News - 9 Dec 2019 - https://youtu.be/wh7R35jt_dQ - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch).

World Univ & Sch is also seeking to develop our platform / web site - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and in planning for English and French (Chinese and Spanish), potentially as pilot languages, and for 'You at WUaS' matriculating students to begin, and re https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/.

As I emailed Larry, the chair of the WUaS Board yesterday: "the bottom half of the World Univ & Sch home page has gone missing - has been hacked - and so the donate button is gone too (and am thinking about making an end of year request in the last WUaS Monthly Business Meeting Agenda and News for 3rd Saturday 12/21/19).

Six of the twelve main WUaS Subjects / Areas have gone missing too - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - including "Library Resources" and "Museums," for example.

Any suggestions or thoughts for making the web page more secure, so it can't be hacked in the future, including FTP upload-wise?

Thank you.

Sincerely, Scott"

Looking forward to talking about some of this on Wednesday at Schoolab SF International's Grand Opening (https://www.linkedin.com/events/schoolabgrandopeningevent/) as well.

Best, Scott -
