Afternoon all.<br>
<br>
We've got some new members, a couple of which had been sitting in a spam<br>
folder for a while, excuse the delay, a message from the CCA and some other<br>
bits and bobs.<br>
<br>
Firstly the members, welcome:<br>
<br>
Ryan Harper:<br>
<br>
I'm an apprentice @ IBM in Greenock and would love to get involved in<br>
the hackerspace. Now nineteen I started work at IBM straight out of school<br>
and currently work as a system adminsitrator for Windows & AIX systems ,<br>
hopping between a number of projects as most sysadmins do. Always<br>
interested in learning something new alongside meeting great new people in<br>
the world of tech & open source. I'd enjoy working together to hack a<br>
better future for ourselves. It'd be fantastic to get involved.<br>
<br>
Calum Morrell:<br>
<br>
I've been a member before, but either I can't recall my username or<br>
it's no longer active.<br>
<br>
(Calum, some accounts associated with email addresses which constantly<br>
bounced were removed some time ago, I see no associated un-subscribe<br>
message for your name)<br>
<br>
David Blair:<br>
<br>
I am the Glasgow Secretary of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity<br>
Campaign.<br>
<br>
We are looking to find another location for our fortnightly Monday<br>
evening meetings. They are on the second and fourth Monday's of every<br>
month. Usually from 7pm to 9.30ish.<br>
<br>
I am very interested in nature, social and environmental justice, human<br>
rights, freedom of speech, equal rights for all and leaving the world a<br>
better place than it was when I came into it.<br>
<br>
William Hamish Bell:<br>
<br>
I am interested in being involved in computer and electronics outreach<br>
in the Glasgow area. In particular, I have been working with the Raspberry<br>
Pi computer and local school teachers, to explore programming and simple<br>
electronics.<br>
<br>
Tony Khan:<br>
<br>
Hi, I have been involved in running a theatre group called<br>
World Spirit Theatre, our plays are based on Forum Theatre theme and<br>
we do plays inspired by real life events faced by asylum seekers and<br>
refugees, The group is a mix of asylum seekers, ex-asylum<br>
seekers(refugees) and local people, We have done few performance in<br>
Scotland and a couple in England as well, I'll paste the link to our<br>
website you can have a look, It's volunteers run group and we don't<br>
any funding what so ever in the past there was a group called<br>
Philanthrobeats and we been using that money for rehearsals in<br>
Kinning Park Complex but now we have been struggling with funding so<br>
I was wondering if it would be possible to use the space Electron<br>
Club is offering.<br>
<br>
Jasmine Sallis:<br>
<br>
I am a volunteer at The Unity Centre in Glasgow that provides practical<br>
support and solidarity to asylum seekers, migrants and refugees in the<br>
Glasgow area. At present I am involved in running and setting up numerous<br>
campaigns regarding forced removals of particular nationalities such as the<br>
Stop Removals to Somalis and LEt Libyans Stay campaigns. Another involved<br>
disputed nationalities of Somalian nationals from the Bajuni tribe -<br>
BajuniCampaign.<br>
<br>
At present, however, a group of us are preparing to start an inclusive<br>
cricket team to encourage the sport in Scotland and also give many asylum<br>
seekers who are waiting for their cases to be decided and have been<br>
dispersed to Glasgow to have access to a team and to share their skills in<br>
the sport with the local community or learn new skills. We were informed by<br>
one of our friends who has an office in CCA of the electron club and<br>
advised to join.<br>
<br>
Club members old and new should be aware of the information in the<br>
following links, please take 5 minnutes to read these again:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.electronclub.org/doku.php?id=what_is_the_electron_club" target="_blank">http://www.electronclub.org/doku.php?id=what_is_the_electron_club</a><br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.electronclub.org/doku.php?id=howto:calendar" target="_blank">http://www.electronclub.org/doku.php?id=howto:calendar</a><br>
<br>
I've sent out notes before on the importance of having proper entries in<br>
the calendar, but people seem to be ignoring it. Contact details are<br>
required when making a booking, as is an email to the mailing list (members@<br>
<a href="http://electronclub.org" target="_blank">electronclub.org</a>) to announce the booking. Please update any existing<br>
bookings which don't have this information.<br>
<br>
Please do not reschedule existing bookings unless this has been agreed with<br>
the people in charge of the other event . Again, this is another reason why<br>
contact details or a URL which has contact details is required.<br>
<br>
We'll be looking at migrating to a different booking system in the near<br>
future.<br>
<br>
The CCA have sent out a note to all staff and cultural tenants:<br>
<br>
"I have noticed an increase of doors being left unlocked and spaces left<br>
unattended throughout the building.<br>
<br>
All doors that have the controlled entry locks should be kept shut. When<br>
coming and going please check that the door closes fully behind you. If<br>
left to swing shut the electronic lock may not catch every time, leaving<br>
you and your colleagues belongings and workspaces open to unauthorised<br>
visitors.<br>
<br>
On a similar note, please do not let anyone wait in a private space for<br>
another Cultural Tenant or building user. Unless you are certain of their<br>
identity and reasons to be in the building please ask guests to wait in the<br>
foyer or cafe.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions or concerns please ask me or one of the other<br>
Duty Managers (<a href="mailto:dutymangers@cca-glasgow.com">dutymangers@cca-glasgow.com</a>). If you are aware of anyone<br>
suspicious we can keep an eye on their movements in person and via our CCTV<br>
system.<br>
<br>
If you are allowing your space to be used by anyone new to the building<br>
while you are not around it would be good practise to let us and our the<br>
reception staff know to expect them."<br>
<br>
Please adhere to the above requests at all times. If you have any questions<br>
feel free to contact me off list, or reply to this email.<br>
<br>
Thanks, have a great weekend.<br>
<br>
Martin<br>
