Welcome to all<div><br></div><div>Liam , </div><div><br></div><div>does your project have a webpage?</div><div><br></div><div>I study 'open schools' from a 'learning ecosystem' viewpoint</div><div><br></div>
<div><br></div><div>Many people I know are interested in 'unschooling', or how to develop more innovative, less stiff learning models, but we are yet to find a way forward to get rid of universities once and for all </div>

Welcome to new members Liam Casey, Anny Deery, Josh Goldsmith, Bradley<br>
Davies, and Robert Lafferty.<br>
<br>
Liam says:<br>
Hi there<br>
my name is Liam Casey, i think some of you may know me already, i have<br>
been using the electron club space for a couple years whether thats with<br>
the DIY Festival group, Glasgow Social Centre or Education Activist groups.<br>
I'm an on and off architecture student at Glasgow School of Art but much<br>
prefer a school i set up with some friends last summer called 'Glasgow<br>
Open School' -this is an experimental education project which uses<br>
various frameworks to instigate collective research and exploration.<br>
I was hoping that i could meet some people involved in open source web<br>
coding and software through electron club. The open school has a simple<br>
collaborative process of proposing events and attending, everyone<br>
involved constantly redefines what the school is. Recently i have felt<br>
we need a web platform which can better facilitate this sort of<br>
collaboration. For example i'm interested by wiki's which allow<br>
collective editing of content.<br>
We're looking for someone in Glasgow who might work with us in testing<br>
the boundaries of open source and open source education -looking at how<br>
social structures are manifested in web structures.<br>
<br>
We are a voluntary run school, there are no members, not even me -we<br>
want to offer the framework of the open school up in to the commons. At<br>
the moment a couple of people i know and myself are also looking for<br>
space to work on open school and other projects- so i was wondering if<br>
this was something that electron club could provide also.<br>
<br>
It would be great to see if open school could provide frameworks for<br>
electron club events in the future or if there are other ways the two<br>
could work together.<br>
thanks<br>
hope to hear from you soon<br>
Liam Casey<br>

Anny says:<br>
I'm intrigued by the positive application of social media and what that<br>
means in the real world.<br>
<br>
<br>
Josh says:<br>
Hi,I found out about your club through the CCA website. I'm really<br>
interested in hardware hacking and using PD. I'm really into field<br>
recording and making random noise. I've messed around doing this but I<br>
think being part of a club would be great for learning new skills and<br>
experimenting further.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Josh<br>
<br>
Bradley says:<br>
Sound sculpture, modular synths, recording and installation.<br>
<br>
<br>
Robert says:<br>
I am interested in multiple monitor displaying of video work and also<br>
the interactivity of new media and video.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Quick responses:<br>
