[Redbrick-birthday] About the book..
by Conor O' Kane 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Sorry if this has been raised, but only going through the archives now and haven't seen it.. Why have a book? If it's going to cost �X00 and involve a lot of wrangling, is there anything more worthy of that money, time, and effort? I'm just wondering.. people have jumped on the idea of the book without really anyone setting out a case for it? Like someone else said, maybe it could be a magazine or something smaller instead? Or maybe a website like RedbrickAt10.com (or something, I'm not some domain name thinking up guy :o)) since we have the space and so many talented web design people and the cost would be minimal to register the domain. Don't mean to throw cold water on the idea but just wanted to play devil's advocate especially when it's an idea that could so easily not work out that well (good intentions and all that) Peace, C -- Tum Ganesh nahiin ho!

[Redbrick-birthday] Brief Meeting Summary (Tuesday 21 June)
by Karl Podesta 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Hey up, In attendance: art_wolf, markpb, kpodesta. Summary: We had a nice chat for about an hour, mostly discussing possible ideas as opposed to coming up with a definate plan. But it's not up to us to make a plan & tell everyone how it is anyway (especially not without any committee members present!) - merely to talk out ideas and roughly agree on how we can progress them. Important: we should make sure we try and organise things together as best we can - without any poor people (cmte or associates) storming ahead with their own ideas, on their own time! "Book": - For the moment, everyone (list/offlist) should contribute to the wiki - An email alias could be added for lazy redbrick members to mail stories to - Revisit the content/wiki properly in perhaps 2 months time to guage content Event: - A few ideas exist; we could possibly vote on which would suit us all best - 1838 Club (DCU fancy dining room): could host meal, slideshow, collage/book - Year long programme of events: Redbrick could use birthday idea thru year - We should make sure committee don't take the entire burden! Collage: - Scan in any stuff (posters/tickets/photos), thumbnail it on web, so that people can create "digital" layouts for the collage, or a digital collage - Pick a day in a month or two's time in DCU: everyone brings in stuff, we do it all on the floor of The Hub Seminar Room (or something). Sponsorship: - We could possibly hit companies for some birthday "presents" to Redbrick Misc: - DCU's own Anniversary is upcoming; drusilla has already made official contact with regards us helping out, or linking up in some way - What does Huskerdu really look like? I hope that's everything! Karl -- Hello. I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies. And in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer is: No. -- What was the question again?, "The Springfield Files"

[Redbrick-birthday] Meetup Reminder
by John Doyle 21 Jun '05

21 Jun '05

Hey, Just a quick reminder about the meetup this evening in Bewleys. 6:30 - Bewleys, Grafton St were the details I believe :) Cya there, John -- [23:17 06/April/2004 #lobby] <Yossarian> Hrm, if I'm not winning 'sweetest ass' - and my ass is winning for being hairy in 'best hair' - then logic would dictate that drusilla has one hell of a hairy arse. *ponders*

[Redbrick-birthday] Postpone Meeting until Tuesday 21st?
by Karl Podesta 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hey up, We suggested a meeting for tomorrow night (Tuesday 14th), but it clashes with a SAGE-IE talk! (http://www.sage-ie.org/meetings.html) Is it ok to postpone it until next Tuesday (21st)? If people still want to meet up to chat about it tomorrow that's cool. Just that myself/singer/others(?) won't be there unfortunately. In the meantime, John art_wolf had a good suggestion on the wiki, so I changed the page to stick "everything we've got" onto it. So that could be something to get us started - we can just all edit away on that for the moment! So feel free to write stuff, or contribute! etc. (Don't be afraid to change or delete things - but probably best to just add things mostly, seeing as we don't have a whole pile at the moment). Karl -- Hello. I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies. And in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer is: No. -- What was the question again?, "The Springfield Files"
