Feedback

Stone

• Not interested in topic. Finds little value in the format?
• Interested in design part, interested, similar to the web-design
• Working on a photobooks and non-the-less experimenting making epub

Max

• intense, long days (tiring)
• 5 days could be more appropriate, since they allow the creating work, and for thoughts and work start to alignment
• interested in talks

Nadine

• interesting the different perspectives on the same subject

Colm

• topics for the days - titles, texts, talk - realizing how deep each threat of the topic helps.
• confuse: how far they should go? Would like the expected outcome was more clear from the beginning.

Pleun

• something happens when you go white far
• wish to have it every month

natalya

• look at an object like an epub - from something technical and practical, to a more experimental and exploratory object

Julia

• unsure about if 3 days or good, or should go long
• suspicious about the topic - everything around the topic was interesting
• was not clear where the connections were.
• 3 days were about ways of doing, rather than the content.

Sara

• intense, but needed, specially after 1 month unemployment
• 1st impression was not of interest, but also because it was a foreign topic
• texts created interested
• pity to have not discussed the texts - since they are ways to process the rest of the readings and talks. Need to approach the text differently.
• Report (Steve) - as way of process
• work in groups and without hierarchies
• necessity for collective thinking -

Annet

• necessary to work more with the students for the preparation phase. Talk them more on what to expect.
• guests - what did you feel?
• content - underestimated the context of the content.

• (students were not making the connections, being active withing the text)

---

necessaity to prepare

To do

• send email to all participants with their time.

To Bring in

• @andre:
  • audio recorder
  • books
  • Film: "The Man Who Wanted to Classify the World"

Planning

Goals for the work sessions

• conceive and implement an electronic publication for the works developed under the context of the documentation project.
• discover the works, letting the works talk for themselves, before framing them 
• organize the works so that an entity (a narrative?) emerges from the publication 

(Possible) Task distribution for Publication

Monday

• Introduction to the Documentation project at MMDDC
• Introduction to Hybrid publishing

• Documentation goals: publicity, funding, process
• Exploring the documentation materials and their different media( video, photography, text, print) -

(As 1 single group OR 1 group per year for?)

• Exploring overlaps: funding + process for different purposes
• Strategies for digitizing off-line content
• Strategies for common and retrievable storage

Tuesday

• the same groups as yesterday.

Think about the output format the epub.

Stipulate a goal for your publication.

Address the steps that you'll need to get there.

What will be the limitations?

Homework: Make a written summary (1 paragraph ) of your publication.

• division into 3 teams, each dealing respectively with: Source material, publishing pipeline,   Front-end design
• implement a prototype that puts into practice the necessary tasks

Groups and Tasks:

* Source material

• • digitization
  • storage and organization on the wiki
  • context, information

• Publishing pipeline
  • getting the content from storage (wiki) into its publishable form
  • publishable format(s)
  • translations necessary to represent works under the publishable format

• Front-end design
  • publishable format(s)
  • identity of publication(s)

Wednesday:

• Continue to work on Tuesday prototypes
• results, issues, questions
• elaborate a proposal a simple for the continuation of the work

Reading groups

===Monday:===  

• conflict
