[FSFE-Manc] Amble Jam - more ideas
by Anna F J Morris 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Tomorrow I will spend some time working on wiki and making an amble-jam section. I had a great idea though - I was thinking we could invite people from the scifi and fantasy writing groups at madlab to come, and write some short pieces and poems inspired by places on the walk. The idea would be that we could pool the map data, photos and poems to make a CC-licenced ebook. This would be great for the Wizard Walk! I once did a group walk where at stopping points one person in the group would read a poem or folk story from a book we had. It was really fun and inspiring. What do you think? How are you getting along with the OSM stuff @david? Did anyone get back to you? We need to test out any gps apps and things before we do a proper walk. I'm so excited about this!

[FSFE-Manc] Libre Office 4 is here!
by Mark Wastling 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Libre Office 4 is now available for download: Read... http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2013/02/07/the-document-foundation-annou… ...for details. My personal favourite is: "First release of Impress Remote Control App for Android, supported only on some Linux distributions. (The second release, coming soon, will be supported on all platforms: Windows, MacOS X and all Linux distros and binaries.)" ;) M

[FSFE-Manc] Laptops for video event
by Anna F J Morris 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all - Exciting news! FSFE have agreed to purchase four laptops - like this http://www.schtrade.co.uk/prod/lenovo-thinkpad-x61-7674-core-2-duo-2ghz-4gb… for us to use for a video editing event which I would like to organize. checkout the info about the event at the bottom of the email. The bad news is, after the event (say at the end of August) these laptops will be needed back in Berlin for other things. (The good news is that they won't be coming out of the fellowship group meetings budget, so we may still be able to purchase some other things for our group later on). Also, those of you, like myself, who are thinking "perhaps I will buy one of those great little laptops at such a good price" - please do arrange this! I will be buying one, and a few other fellows are too. I will be purchasing some on behalf of other people, am happy to do that for you too if you like. If we do buy our own ones too, -as a group, we will still have the advantages of "small, lightweight, event worthy machines with the same os installed at the same time" for the long term - we could keep the original partition free of personal stuff and so use it to run events in the future. This is what I will do anyway :) To arrange this with me, email me off list. Payments need to be made asap - order will be placed on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. I will pay for the whole lot on my business credit card and then recoup the funds from there. I will also get the power supplies from Amazon. If you want to but them independently, try and make sure its the same one as in the link - 4g of ram (others for the same price on the same site only have 2) Love much! Anna About the sprint: The sprint will be to edit the interview footage with women in free software that I organised last year, at flossie, to create an archive of interviews called "The Record." I have about 35 interviews sitting on my hard drive, each lasting about an hour, with an amazing range of women working in free software, from librarians to musicians, artists,poets, coders, academics, designers etc etc. At the sprint we would sync the sound, edit in slides with the questions on and edit out ums and errs. I would like to make a half hour short film as a second stage too, in time to premier at flossie 2013 in November :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJROf8oAAoJEJ2xYKWLcraNfw4IAJ3tY5VRilwFHdkuoUadYnrG qT0QJrMvUz3amnv7wCeWKfapBhTeAMTKeo4KqM7Q4HCaZKm1j07nWR/zTt6QZTRN m7jVYQ/mDpR8iIBciYqWJsKE90bT07saf9wYY/tXkLQWxj7aj0jY0SnijwxZyEh/ X7fxwf3Dt466c8ucFERo1Oa9nQzSDpWmz+0nXrwX+4KtCg3GXlyPgnu7e4MuC2gx F4Djf4+N+EtN+OURe7m75F7+6wH060RPsxQSqAe4bPv6qBz/QEiewshN7WTASN5p q8E68pcu+pELjopvOnGjmdct9BlmshMFw20wmK+5EQVtKKLDrc7bNoHuh2PAQJU= =bjh/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[FSFE-Manc] What we do, when, where and why
by Anna F J Morris 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, on Monday, we were discussing the group, what we do, why, where we meet etc. There were a few semi-concrete plans made, and some discussion about general practice. First of all, we discussed "showcasing" what we do more, as a group, as friends within a group and as individuals. We have this wiki here https://wiki.fsfe.org/groups/Manchester which i propose we overhaul and use as a starting point. Second, we discussed running more activities on weekends, so they are less constrained to two hours. Anna, Mark and David are all keen on running an "Amble Jam" - where we go on a walk, possibly one from a council website, map it on open street map, take photos of features and do lots of other out door techie activities. We discussed the 6th of April for out first one. Is anyone interested getting involved? We also discussed making art works, videos, apps, blogs - really show our colour and have some fun. After all, without Manchester FSFE... well, I know I would feel very isolated! Shall we have a wiki-editing-sprint? Get some better info on there? We could do it remotely, via jabber etc?

[FSFE-Manc] Fwd: Using the Hackspace
by Anna F J Morris 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, we have been discussing moving somewhere a little more compact and relaxed than madlab - the Hackspace have sent me the following info. Perhaps we should go to go to one of their open days and see what it's like? Though they have said they are moving, so perhaps we should wait? I quite like the idea of moving venue as part of a fresh start in terms of what we do as a group - and the hackspace is certainly more of an interactive environment from what I know so far. Any thoughts? Best Anna ps: I am happy to become a member anyway, so I will take that role. - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Using the Hackspace Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 11:54:05 +0000 From: Bob Clough <parag0n(a)ivixor.net> To: anna.morris(a)fsfe.org Hi Anna, We do let some outside groups use the space, but there are some things you'll need to know: - Your group must be sponsored by a member, who is responsible for organising access to the space and making sure the place is tidied up afterwards. - Bear in mind that the space is funded entirely by members who may want to use the facilities, so there may be tools being used and other distractions. - We are moving soon, so the next couple of months are going to be a bit difficult. If you're still interested, let me know and I'll see what we can do.
