[57north-discuss] Code the city
Code the city is happening again on 7th-8th February. http://codethecity.org/ If you don't know it's a hackathon looking at projects to make Aberdeen better. The last two did a good job of getting a variety of people along so there was a decent mix of developers, designers, folks with problems and other. I'll be heading along and probably working on some more of the project I picked up from Iain at the last one: https://github.com/ormiret/tinfoil-hat Hopefully see some of you there, Robert -- Robert McWilliam r...@allmail.netwww.ormiret.com Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult. ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Notice of Directors Meeting - 3pm, 31st Jan.
On Sat, Jan 24, 2015 at 03:26:01PM +, Edward Watson wrote: 5) AOCB I wasn't organised enough to submit these to the agenda proper but there are a couple of other things I think we should discuss. * Venue for decision making Where/how should the space be making decisions? Discussion and decision making has been happening across a variety of venues (in person in the space, on IRC, on the mailing list(s), ...) and we don't have an authoritative venue. The most egregious case of this split I've seen recently was a fortnight ago those of us who happened to be in the space discussed a range of things and decided how we should proceed on them (and then later on the issue of where/how the wiki should be hosted Iain and I talked some more and decided on a different approach). Much of the things discussed that evening had been previously discussed on the mailing list but there was no update to that discussion to reflect what was discussed/decided in person. I'd propose that this mailing list be the authoritative venue for discussion and decision making should be via consensus here. I wouldn't intend this to preclude discussion happening elsewhere (the whole point is that we have a physical space so I would expect discussion to happen there, and often when people are disagreeing on a mailing list it can be sorted out in short order face to face) but would like to see that when discussions happen elsewhere the outcome of that is copied back to the mailing list (and where possible that the discussion is going to happen is announced here). I think the mailing list is the best choice for the authoritative venue as it gives the best inclusivity by allowing people to participate as and when they have time to respond to email rather than requiring presence at a particular time and location. * Financial reporting Ed has much data tracking our financial transactions. I propose that he starts publishing monthly summaries of incoming, outgoing and balance. I've half a mind to propose that all our financial records should be public, but I stop short of that as it would disclose who has/hasn't paid their membership dues (if that isn't going to be public we should have a discussion of who does/should have access to that data). Robert McWilliam r...@allmail.netwww.ormiret.com ... so then we decided to tickle the rats. -- Jaak Panksepp, on how he discovered that rats laugh. signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

I'm not going to make it along tonight, but will be playing along from home. If the last couple of nights are anything to go by, I'll mainly be fighting with dodgy trackpad support in Ubuntu, and remembering why I switched away to Fedora in the first place...
