January 26th Meeting

Hello peoples! Here's what we discussed this lat meeting:

Ms. Campbell sat in at the beginning of the meeting to see what comps we had for her One Life Campus Outreach organization. She was very pleased and excited about what was presented, and she will have a final decision in concerns to their logo by the end of the week.

We have a standard drop box set up thanks to Chris. More information as to how it will be accessible will be brought up at next week's meeting. Still, shouldn't be dat hard, right?

We discussed what the meaning and right to the "attendance exception" rule was. Is it fair to have a member sit to the side for a semester because of time complications such as work even when membership fees for the year have been paid? On the other hand, what are the responsibilities of an "excused member" if he/she cannot attend meetings?

Next week (Feb 2nd), we'll discuss the AASU Open house event, and will probably be getting more in depth with the One Life Outreach project. We'll also brainstorm about some places we can meet beyond the lab ancd campus. Oh yeah! And I think I gotta fun side project we'll all probably wanna tackle (grin).

I noticed participation in the Outreach project was very slim this week. I understand we're all very busy with our families, jobs, school work, graduation planning, etc, but we all should do our best to help DM spread its wings. Being an active member in Design Matters goes beyond just attending the meetings and sitting in. We're trying to develop skills that'll help us outside the classroom, ya know? PLEASE, lets all try to put on those creative thinkin juices outside of the mac lab and have sum fun, k? I KNOW we can do it! ^_^. C yaz next week!

Happy Designing!
