Jay from Infoseed sent this out last night:

Quote:

Several new and old members of the infoseed volunteers group are meeting this Thursday 14th December, from 7-9pm for a discussion on how to move the area forward, to make sure its potential isn't wasted and to try and intergate more with the rest of The Forest volunteers, activities and projects.

If you have an interest in helping run the infoseed and may be able to volunteer some time, resources or ideas... please come along and give your views ...Ooo and brings some biscuits

They want to finalise the sharing of the internet among other things, so if someone who knows about these things and can make descisions can turn up, it would be great.

If no one has been down recently, the place looks awesome. They have the biggest poster of Malcolm X, like, ever.

I would like to be at this meeting, especially as I was involved in discussions about the internet sharing. We have business & admin meeting at 7pm on Thursday, but maybe I could join the infoseed meeting later on. Perhaps the internet connection could be discussed towards the end of the meeting...?

Who had has permission to make the decision about the Internet connection? Does it fall under the remit of this working group (which would actually have to do the work), or the forest working group?

Also, what are the other things that infoseed want to ask about? Be good to know so we could find out beforehand what we'd have to do to get permission for them.

If I see Tom or Jay or hear from others, then I'll pump them for details.

I think Tom is happy to do any work - he has the CAT-5 for linking the router to downstairs.

Forest wg should make the decision.

I've posted stuff in FoH, Community and Grants to cover the various topics that Infoseed want to discuss:

providing a bigger table for the computers upstairs
putting up poster and leaflet/disc box upstairs
decorating in basement corridor
fruitful overlap with Community WG
video editting facilities - possible team up with Grants

Hopefully people with ideas/advice can attend, or post their ideas/advice.
