Project time! We haven't had any mechawide group projects in a long time. I have a proposal:
→[More:] A three month project, solo or in groups. Think of it like a nanowrimo exercise or an excuse to work on something you have to work on.
Month one: planning, spitballing, brainstorming, networking, organizing, etc.
Month two: execution
Month three: polish and presentation or stage two of execution.
For instance, if you wanted to do a writing project nanowrimo style, you'd make month two your pound out thousands of words a day time. Or if a bunch of people were doing photo essays, they could get the pictures, etc.
I'm thinking April Fool's is a great time to start.
The question is, do you want a theme or do you want teams or do you just want to see what people come up with?
I'm happy to take charge and do the organization if anyone is interested.
Putting teams together could be interesting, a writer and a photographer working with a programmer or web designer, or what have you. Or it's an excuse to do that project you've been putting off, document it, and share.
Email if you want, your interests, your skill set, etc. or post them here.
I'm thinking either writing or podcasting myself. People could post updates on how they are doing, ask for feedback, and there would be a monthly update.
