Re: Australian Mini 2011 - Community Project

As a spin off of the Mini, ( and this probably is only really applicable to Melbourne only people ) woudl there be any interest in a group building a community display in a high profile site in the city? for Christmas 2011. All gear would be supplied, you coudl go wild with cool stuff.. ( within reason ).. I can't say too much but if there were some interested people i coudl connect the dots so to speak.. I'm pretty sure that the other site would be very interested...

Looks like they will fly nice in our Warehouse MPH.
By the way Kel we can supply supply safety helmets and glasses or you can call in the locust plague people and just spray them. We will have a bit of trouble with if you use your .22 in a built up area.

I am not a seasoned drone fighter... but I'm pretty sure the hardware is vulnerable to airborne candy cane assault.... or ropelight strafing.......

Hi guys,

I've written up an invitation to the mini for non-members. There was some discussion about getting more people involved in the community and also encouraging locals with simple christmas displays to learn about what else is out there, so the Saturday is going to be kept at a level that complete beginners can understand as much as possible.

If you know anyone in Melbourne who you think should come along, why not send them an invite? I've put the tuppetslights email on there for people who aren't confident about signing up on the forum just yet, so feel free to pass it on to anyone you want to convince to come along.

The letter looks good!

Though I have one suggestion for reaching decorators that are unlikely to be members here (or on other sites like PC ..) - maybe add "get together" at the end of the title as they may not understand what a Mini is? :)

Another question - has any progress been made towards a stream of the mini (either as it happens or streamed on a delay)

Melbourne Christmas Lights Mini Get-Together :)

Thanks, here is a new version with the get-together addition for anyone who feels this makes it clearer. I have also included a slimmed down version of the schedule on this copy so that you won't forget to give them both to whoever you want to invite.



oh, and volunteers are still needed for some sessions - see the wiki for details. We particularly need someone to:
1. give an overview on wireframes, trees stars etc. and how to do some basic construction/summary of existing designs
2. give a Vixen demonstration
3. tell us something about E1.31. and how to implement.
