FYI: @Schneidy has reminded us to get the paperwork filed soon. I sent him this issue but giving a heads up.

ct-martin commented 6 years ago

@jrtechs: @Schneidy has sent another reminder to submit the application. Are we reviewing the application at the meeting today or is there more action needed?

@ct-martin I have the application filled out, all that there is left to do is review the application today.

2017 RITlug blurb on maker-fair website

This year

For our public blurb I put this:

The RIT Linux Users Group (RITlug) is a student-led organization to promote and teach students about Linux & open source. This year we will be showcasing four club’s projects: TigerOS, musical floppy drives, acoustic levitation, and magic mirrors.

Last year we didn't have any description for projects, however, this year we can't elaborate any more since we are capped at 250 characters.

jwflory commented 6 years ago

For our public blurb I put this:

+1, looks good! :+1: Did you get a chance to submit it yet?

Last year we didn't have any description for projects, however, this year we can't elaborate any more since we are capped at 250 characters.

We should make a new document in the RITlug Google Drive folder so we can recycle this text later as needed. We'll have Imagine with its application forms next semester, and our projects may only change slightly.

jrtechs commented 5 years ago

Today I will fill out the Maker Agreement Form and upload it to the maker fair.

I will be forwarding the informative email to @RITlug/eboard-2018-2019, however, I will link the Maker Manual in this ticket since it is important.

jwflory commented 5 years ago

I bumped into @KennyTaylor the other day and he confirmed the Lakka install on the Raspberry Pi is almost done. He is planning to bring it for a demo to the meeting this Friday, Nov. 9th.

Tjzabel commented 5 years ago

@jwflory @jrtechs @jibby0 was a demo ever shown at the November 9th meeting?
