Meeting Minutes March 1 2010

Location: LFC at 5:00

In Attendance: Cinzia, Ken, Marsha and Neil

Chair: All

Minutes: Marsha and co

Michaela sent her apologies - she's teaching every Monday evening this term

There was general consensus that we'd have agendas for future meetings

ITEM 1: Structure

We reviewed Ola and Michal's proposal - there's a sense that things are still very emergent and it may take a lot for granted re. our needs - this is a conceptualization - but it's something we can work with - we're trying to imagine possibilities "beyond a pile of boxes"
It's a very different approach to the elegant tensile possibilities of sheet material proposed by Ken
Ken suggested we may be able to construct a roof by stretching materials across the units
Cinzia wonders if we're working with squares or if they'll vary in size/shape
Ken to feedback about our shared perceptions to Ola and Michal - we're encouraged by the sense of assembly and aggregating that these sketches indicate but feel it's still quite abstract - we look forward to pushing these ideas further next week

ITEM 2: IDENTITY

ITEM 3: FEEBACK ON PEOPLE WE'RE ASKED TO BE PART OF THE MARKET OF IDEAS

Neil observed he's invited all those he said he'd invite and is now receiving responses
Cinzia has invited some people who aren't on the list - Kuba also seems to be going this route
Marsha was a little confused about the invitations - Who are we inviting for the Market of Ideas? It was agreed that we'd invite people who we thought had the kinds of competencies for holding a stall
Kuba has been in touch with The People Speak and there are some concerns around the PowerPoint Karaoke - is this the best event to launch Parade?
Kuba has also talked to Public Works - wondering if there're resources to transport something for a stall?
Marsha agreed to make a page of confirmed contributors

ITEM 4: PLANNING FOR NEXT WEEK

We're all excited about Ola and Michal coming for a week and what to use this time productively
We need to develop the barcamp content at next week's meeting
Marsha suggested that we might video some of the our process next week and develop this into a promo for Parade - Ken suggested some of his students might be interested in doing something related to this
