Attendees

Adam's partner might be asked to make it a little bit more artistic (presentation)
--- Tariya's work , review of the application for ANCA
member fees will be a big question mark.
20 dollars a week * 15 -> 300 dollars per week for the association
ANCA would be 150 per week ( 8000 per year)
The payments will be quarterly, that's something we should put in the application
decision to collect upfront cash for the bond.
noise will be an issue: the occasional use of power tool.
use of toxic material: solder flux,
our numbers of users could be disruptive for the neighbors
users on a schedule.
no need to have a 3 phase power.
sockets 15 amps
need space and requirements (wish list)
100 sq meters would be ideal
CV's discussion.
application form :
-contact details
-statement of intent
they want us to show that we'll be producing a work of art
- actuagl for the exhibition world of science
- documentary
- maker fair : good exposure
Adam would like some help from Angus and Tariya re the arty part
projects we are working on, and projects we want to work on have to be mentioned also
trying to get dorkbot involved also to help us.
"geeky residents" projects
Tariya volunteers to work on the document in order to make things go further quicker.
Paul is giving a feedback regarding the website and finding it hard to make it work for him. not intuitive and finding the information hard.
what do we have for the website.
a basic forum
threads (the current one is painful and not easy to follow)
goal is to have an update on what members are working on.
tracking of the forums will be ideal
"new comments" button.
last first or first first on the discussions
categories
projects(specific tags will be added)
navigations should be more intuitive.
administration rights in the Drupal realm
screencast of the operations on the web interface
image of the group is important : needs to show it's alive and organised
everyone agrees on posting content on the website.
Adam is not happy with Drupal. ugly , default, daunting,
embedded images. twitter activity is distractive
Allaistair is asking for which Drupal theme that would be of interest.
drupal.org
priorities on the front page would be
- howtos
- this is what we do
- this is what we need
people are expecting an excellent website and also justify the artistic side.
mailing list discussion about attachment.
