The Summer the Map Moved
Summer was supposed to be the quiet part. The Job Search and BrandUp standups went on Off Week, the Solarpunk mornings paused, and the git log for the website thinned to a few weeks of metrics plumbing and one fix for duplicate weekly emails. The chat rooms did not get the memo.
Here's what happened instead. Prompt Engineering ran sixteen sessions, Swarm Architecture ran eight, and a three-day Using Large Language Models intensive in mid-August drew 140 students — tk called it the largest class size this cohort. Meanwhile you all argued your way off Gather Town and started building our own video campus, a Meshtastic radio network started taking shape across Texas, and the papers room filled up faster than anyone could read it.
This issue is a catch-up, so it's a sampler — what you built, what you passed around, and the one big question of the summer, which was where we all meet now. Weekly issues pick back up on October 25.
This issue was assembled by AI from what was shared in Multiverse chat rooms and the school's changelog. Want your piece changed or taken down? Email [email protected] and it's done.
