i believe there is topcities.com
it provides huge amounts of space and it is free. i don't know if it is up and running still but it is a place to look into. i think it gave out over 100mb of free space. there is also itgo.com it is an ok site and is reliable.

thats all i can think of for now

i will miss the next meeting becuase i will be at Grand Rapids...

hehe, me too! Are yoiu guys staying at the amway grand or driving every day? a couple of the 862 people are staying (4 i think :), me included)

So, is the meeting still tonight?

Yes, it is- it'll be relatively short yet important. We will discuss the site, different aspects of content, and subdivide into smaller sections to disperse the responsibility.

Well, I guess the meeting was shorter than expected. Short as in didn't happen. Less than a handful showed up; where was everyone? Please e-mail/IM me what the deal is. Dag, I wasn't expecting more than 80% of the team not to show up to this meeting. Not showing up hurts us all. We have to reschedule this meeting, but I thought Fridays was alright for the majority of everyone. I guess not this this one-
I'll talk with you later.

Sorry I was out cosmic bowling and lost track of the time... Spring Break messes up your head..:(

Hey Jabzx,

I'd really love to help more with this whole G-3d thing. Ive even been working on logo design and what not. Problem is that we're still in competition season and this is just no way to get things done. I personally will most likely be the co-driver for 108 at nationals and I'm spending a lot of time doing last minute things for the robot. I do electrical and mechanical work, along with software. Im sure there are other animators that are in the same boat as me. I think we should hold another introduction meeting just after nationals, get everyone on board the plan fresh and with no responibilites to robotics. Fridays are a good day, except when your halfway across the country for a regional, your transmission's still not working, and the LCD you just got for your driver interface has no software interface yet. Sooo all im trying to say is please take this into consideration. We may be animators here, but most of us have other responsibilites when animation's deadline isn't riding at us like a freight train.

Sorry if this sounds kinda on the mad-tone...Im juss kinda mad I missed the first meeting because I was at UCF and then missed the second one because of chicago. ::Shrugs:: It happens, i'd juss like to help more.

I see your point there. It's just that not many people told me ahead of time that they weren't going to make it. If I know quorum won't be met, I call the meeting off instead of wasting other's time. Friday nights are quite valuable. I'd hate for people to sacrifice thier time were they could be doing something else for nothing because only two people come to the meeting...

Are there any objections to this coming Friday's meeting (11 est.)?

If so, please contact me.

Thanks-

I can be there, but I'll have to be apx. 10 minutes late.

since this will be my first meeting where do i go or what do i do? i just go online i take it????

anyways, our team stayed at the amway. i stayed at my cottage though and was late for two days because of the ice storm. oh well, beats paying $200 when you don't have to.

meeting
 

There will be a meeting today, like every Friday starting at 11 pm (est). All you need to do is be on-line and I'll have you join the chat. It's good to make sure I have your screen name before the meeting so you won't be missed.

We have some catching up to do and positions to assign.

Also- logos should be done for this meeting.

G-3D
 

Some of the members of G-3D met tonight to discuss some various issues. Below are some of the main objectives/points that we came up with.

1) We want to have the Official Site up by June. This doesn't necessarily mean great quality, but we want something to be up and running. In addition to this, we still need a host. We need a host soon, very soon. Think of hosts and we'll discuss this in next week's meeting.

2) If there are people only interested in developing tutorials/content for the site, start working on that now. It will be good to have a nice amount of material on the site when it is up.

3) We need to get our name out! Any of the memebers of this community going to FIRST events such as regionals, off-season competitions, whatever - we need to get our name out. I hope to have a flyer made up soon.

4) We still need a logo. Anyone intersted in making one, IM JabzX, or Evilstanley.
We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I believe this is very do-able and it will reward the FIRST community of Graphic Artists. Let's try to get that host thing settled and the site up soon :)

Even though JabzX will not be able to attend the next meeting, there will still be a G-3D meeting around 11 this Friday night. If you cannot attend IM me at "Evilstanley" and we can talk anytime.

yup
 

That is correct, I won't be able to be in the next meeting, but I'd like for a few things to get done during this next meeting.

There's the temporary site in the making now (by Lev) that will be fainalized on Fri. It should be up and running on Saturday. So far geocities, I believe will be the host (don't quote me on that one). It is said to be linked to an EZboards forum to be able to better communicate with each other until the real site comes up.

I'd also like for everyone to pick a host or at least have a good idea of one. I've created the "host post" to help in the decision making:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=20343
With that host desion comes the way to pay the host (that is, if the host charges)? It's good if that question is answered during the meeting. We probaly at least need to pay for a domain. Don't get out your pocketbooks :), just have a good idea of who to pay and how to pay for it.

With paying comes some sort of money issue... I'm not sure yet how to handle that, there are many possibilities yet... I guess I'll leave it up to you to figure out how the account (if there is one) will work. We don't need it finalized this week though, Just keep thinking about it.

I think it important for those that want to contribute to have some sort of defined duty. We need dedicated people to do their task be it site searching for our news section of our site, or tutorial creation.

You can have more than one position, but don't overwork yourself. Please, have a certain job or task in mind before the meeting on Fri.

With tutorial creation, it's preferable everyone knows what tutorials you are creating. I'd hate for there to be redundancy and a waste of time due to similar tutorials.

I believe our temporary site will be key for the organization in both roles and communication.

Ryan Dognaux is compiling a contact list of the creating members of the guild if you want to help out with the guild, contact either him or me and we'll be sure you are included. With that, if you have a teammate who want's to help but isn't on Chief Delphi, let me or Ryan know, we want them included too.

One more thing- the G-3d logo. I'd have it ready by Friday because I believe chances are, It will be on the site before the meeting is over.
:ahh: - Yup


Thanks to all of you for making this happen-

Change in meeting time!
 

Unfortunately, I have had plans that have come up recently, and cannot make the meeting Friday night... if you guys out there would like to organize one, and meet on Friday that's fine... but let's all plan to meet Saturday night around 11. Sorry for the inconveinence.
