[57north-discuss] Satrosphere want a website
Hi, I've been contacted about Satrosphere and their desire to have a new website. They'd like it to be powered by Wordpress to make it easier to update and such. If anyone would like to accept this challenge, please email Kenneth Skeldon at k.skel...@abdn.ac.uk. Thanks, Iain. -- e: i...@fsfe.orgw: iain.learmonth.me x: i...@jabber.fsfe.org t: +447875886930 c: MM6MVQ g: IO87we p: 1F72 607C 5FF2 CCD5 3F01 600D 56FF 9EA4 E984 6C49 pgpRe0N5n5ezl.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss
[57north-discuss] Homeless Guy Sleeping in Hall
Hi, I came in today around 2:30pm and there was a homeless guy just sleeping in the hall. This isn't the first time we've found this guy there, although last time it was late at night. If you happen upon him, I suggest just calling the police. He's had his chances. This wasn't a matter of the front door being unlocked. hibby has confirmed that he and adventureloop did indeed lock the front door when they left last night. It is perhaps time to revisit the idea of a camera in the hallway. I know there was discussion about this before that went in circles, but the solution I propose is primarily to act as a deterrent to the homeless guy but also provides us some help if we're broken into again. Just recording to tape/hdd the last 48 hours. Any other ideas are welcome, as well as ideas on how we would go about implementing this. Iain. -- e: i...@fsfe.orgw: iain.learmonth.me x: i...@jabber.fsfe.org t: +447875886930 c: MM6MVQ g: IO87we p: 1F72 607C 5FF2 CCD5 3F01 600D 56FF 9EA4 E984 6C49 pgpSRQlJ0iO5a.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss

I think the form matters too. I think it needs to look like a camera so the homeless guy knows we're watching. Could make a housing for it that looks like a scary camera?

Re: [57north-discuss] Homeless Guy Sleeping in Hall
It's worth mentioning at this point that it's worth contacting the other people that occupy the building, and its owners to discuss this with them. As it stands, CCTV is covered by ~things~ in the data protection act, and we'd want to have everyone's consent before ploughing on and putting in a system because it's an interesting project and we're averse to a bum occupying the stairwell. Homeowners are exempt from data protection act covering cameras. Alas, we're different from homeowners putting up cameras as the building is not a private residence, and has commercially focussed occupiers.

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Open Tuesday (30/09) - fundraising special!
I think the rule that items must be taken home again if they don't sell should already serve to limit the size/quantity of the donations, but sure - if you want to define a limit, then backpack-size sounds sensible for a Tuesday. As for the sales vs. auctions (and everything in-between), it was my intention to keep the format pretty simple first time around. Once we have a better idea of the level of interest we can certainly look at tweaking it for next time. We're all adults though, and if anyone wants to add their own restrictions (minimum reserve price, donating a proportion of the sale price etc.), then they're certainly free to do so.

Raising funds for the space is a noble cause, but I think it could limit it to stuff people don't want or don't see any value in I also agree that it should be down to the discretion of the seller re donation. Tuesdays are usually tight on space already, so I suggest people limit what they bring in to what will fit in a backpack, otherwise we can shift it to a Theme Thursday and use a table spread.

That sounds good Calum, I am on board. I had to convince Rob today that his discarded FPGA's are interesting to other people, so don't under estimate what others could be interested in.
