Proposal Meeting #1 · First Circle · Session A · 12 November 2026

Listen to the first circle.

The complete 53:51 recording of the first Open Source Orchestra DAO proposal meeting, as a small mono MP3. Shaka hosted from 4Seas in Chiang Mai; Ben, Levi and Utkarsh joined. Published with consent confirmed by Shaka on 13 November. Still a proposal, not an on-chain DAO.

Nothing loads or plays until you press Play. Audio was converted from the original recording to mono 64 kbps for small, honest hosting; the raw original stays private; the 720p film plays on channel 2 of the theater projector.

Consent and care. Shaka confirmed on 13 November 2026 (05:21 UTC) that this recording has full consent to be broadcast and shared everywhere. Private meeting links, contact details and personal circumstances are not published. Speaker labels in the transcript are editorial. Nothing in this recording is a decision, a membership list, a funding commitment or legal/tax advice. Corrections and takedown come first.

What this audio is, and is not

  • It is the full recorded conversation of Proposal Meeting #1, transcribed locally and published with Shaka’s confirmed consent.
  • It is not minutes, a vote, a membership registry, a treasury decision or a claim that the Open Source Orchestra DAO has been adopted or deployed. The DAO remains a proposal and public community ledger.
  • Ideas voiced here—retroactive support after a threshold, shared equipment for Lisbon, open-source artist infrastructure, music rights models—are proposals and hopes unless and until the whole circle chooses them.
  • Meeting #2 has its own separate consent record, confirmed on 14 November; its recap, transcript and audio are published too.
