for approval -- provisionally accepted); objectsions should be posted to
the finance group e-mail list: finance at ucimc.org
New Website: tech still working on it
Website Ed Policy: Brian still working out the kinks
NewsHour Name change: looking for a new name; year-in-review is in early
February
Digi001: IMC would buy Digi001 & Paul K would sell his A-DAT and pay the
IMC back. Issues: We will need to build a sound booth to fully actualize
the power of the soundcard; IMC would fully own the equipment until fully
paid off. Approved pending final quorum decision.
FRONT DOOR: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER FLIP THE SWITCH ON THE
FRONT DOOR FOR ANY REASON -- DON'T EVER DO IT. NEVER! Mike will look
into solutions.
Grants: Nancy D-R will apply for a progressive technology grant that
Sascha gave to her. Wants specific technology projects:
Assistive Technologies
Wireless Project
IMC Community Webhosting
Video Tech Stuff -- digital-video camera
Dedicated streaming media server
Would be good to get a tech liaison from each area. Will try to bridge
community webhosting, wireless, and assistive technologies into single
"expanding internet opportunities" theme.
Batton Award: looking for ideas for shows that were civic journalism
projects; Mike F wants help looking through archives.
Food buying: Want to support the co-op by buying foods through them, but
would like to buy wholesale.
Register: people should be aware that folks who shouldn't be using the
register should be asked if they need help.
Brainstorming Outreach: come to the Wednesday night outreach meeting.
Adjourned 1:10 p.m.
