on the use of the gallery . I think having it for month with just ads in it could be a bit boring . It possibly our main resource and attraction And thinking about mirja question why would someone want to be a part of it is related to this . promo is not our strong point but the space is . so some i...

martinmckenna

i cant find how to change the panel , or edit them . I thought these kind of things would be listed with the pages . but only pages seem to be visable .

martin

martinmckenna

would it help to have width of the block similar to the forpub website . I find its very wide . I cant find how to play around with this .

martin

martinmckenna

on the aggregation front , ive added a <img> tag to the allowed tag settings . we now have images . the formating is not great . but its better . if there are any problems then we can change it back . would be possible to have 2 post sections , to have a forest collective aggregation section . this ...

martinmckenna

nice one , il keep you updated if its worked . i guess new events should be good .

martin

martinmckenna

hi it seems to me that the repeating events function is creating problems . I really think it should only be used for events that are trusted and who are able to control it . We are facing having web site full of out of date info possibly leading users to think other info on the web site is crap too...

martinmckenna

ive sent an email about the problem to those concerned .

martin

martinmckenna

yeah nice composition

martin

martinmckenna

sweet , nice work .
is there is any way to get the images in the post too. the ical feed now has details in it , but i can see all the html tags too .

martin

martinmckenna

the aggregation of the blogs would be cool . Its possible the thing that drupal can do better than a wordpress blog . ive tried with mines to aggregate feed with not much success . i guess each feed could have a category . with some being reposted on the front page eg events. i cant help feel we dou...

martinmckenna

i dont have the time to do this , but........... a way for someone to do it is to take photos of the gestures , print out the ones that are suitable . trace them with a pen to simplified them . scan them in again .then using inkscape you could then use the tracebit map function to produce a vector g...

martinmckenna

yo i feel after the year it would be a good time to take a break from the gallery . ive involved for over 2 years in the day to day running of it without a holiday from it . I did this last year but it didnt last too long . this time it will . So from December on, i wont be coming to meeting until t...

martinmckenna

nice !

martin

martinmckenna

hi this will be the new thread for discussion on next years festival , the November meeting will deal with any issues relating to this . but here we can kick off the discussion about it . this is the old thread for reference . http://theforest.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=5424 currently i have no ...

martinmckenna

all good ! the golden hour maybe interested in doing something too . old hat books are interested too . also it would be good to have a jiggery fuckery closing party . things to think about how is the gallery space going to be used . can it be used for events combined with some kind of travel agency...

martinmckenna

have you got a noise dj , i know someone who might do it .

martin

martinmckenna

am cool with extending it . naomi is aware of this . the one week slots are to keep the slots, starting at the beginning of the month . so now and again we have a one week slot to keep the flow right . i agree keep it the same until we know . possibly no need to book the summer as if yet . am up for...

martinmckenna

hi so at the last meeting it was agreed that we would organise before hand what the meeting where going to be about . I think this is what we should of been doing anyway . with some agenda points set before hand rather then 2 days before the meeting or even at the meeting itself . october meeting ma...

martinmckenna

i suggest a new one

martin

martinmckenna

present martin . mike bowdidge , stephen goodall , naomi . agenda meeting timetables for action meeting timetables for action It is felt by me and agreed , that we are dealing with lots of issues at once without organizing them and giving them time to make good decisions . so............... so this ...

martinmckenna

martin

martinmckenna

hi total kusnt is now receiving mail via the web sites contact page . concerning submission . i feel this is not a good thing as it means from what ive received that they are not reading the submissions guidelines and i will have to send them an email pointing them in that direction . this makes us ...

martinmckenna

i think your heater may be in the workshop

martin

martinmckenna

yeah i l like that ,

martin

martinmckenna

cool ,

i think they have been delivered and stashed in the office .

martin

martinmckenna

sure , if you need them out your way , you can put them in the gallery cupboards untill we dump them . i wont be around until Wednesday to do it .

I think in the future if there are any big stuff for the gallery , it would be best if it was put in the gallery cupboards and tell someone .

martin

martinmckenna

they can be recycled ,

martin

regards the floor in the cafe , i feel it needs a quick going over again in and around feb next year . this would be a light sanding posibly by hand and then plastered with varnish . The varnish last used can be mixed with a hardner to make it dry quicker and thus keep disruptions to the cafe to min...

martinmckenna

i possibly wont be able to make it . on the mural side of things , please talk to magda before doing anything . I feel this could be a foh classic , in that a project never gets finished . Things can take time ,people get frustrated and start something else and you get a clash. The major downside to...

martinmckenna

are the free shop people aware that the web site is advertising that it is this sunday and that it will repeat this for every sunday following , if the nature of the free shop is to be a bit ad hoc , then it would be better to disable this feature for the free shop events .

i would love to do that thing the situationists did , going into lots of different cinemas , seeing a bit of a film then leaving and seeing another .

martin

martinmckenna

visual arts working meeting tends to deal only with tk . the people involved are also aware of foh issues so its not so split as one might think . where possible we will past stuff on to the foh meeting . foh should do all the public areas unless it decides to delegate responsibility to someone to l...

martinmckenna

this is now sorted , the show before will extend . this is a show supporting a chapbook launch , shoudl be good .

but we still have to bear in mind what ive said before in the choosing of the shows

martin

martinmckenna

i would also like see the use of the cafe space if possible . this would need a bit of planning , eg booking out it now . also i guess we would wish to this to happen within the annual , riding with there promo . so we need to find when they are thinking of doing it . with regards to podcasts(12 gat...

martinmckenna

the reason this keeps happening is that we are getting a lot of submissions from aboard . i guess via art review . we need to be more aware of this when selecting shows to put on . it a shame as some are really good . ive had a look thru our current ones and they are a few which are from afar . if p...

martinmckenna

also

getting a few of us together for a meal , maybe in the gallery itself in the next few month would get the ball rolling . a jiggery fuckery closing party for the events would be good too !

martin

martinmckenna

it's interesting that there is quite frequently a large wedge of critical theory backing these projects up, perhaps it is only because the projects need to stand up as academic but it strikes me that it could be a classic example of the map preceding the territory-who thought it would be so difficu...

martinmckenna

wow !
