GO GO GO

The contract is complete, agreed and SIGNED. It's all systems go. Stavanger 2008 are now officially hosting the second DIAL-A-DIVA event.

Also, I have been looking into google documents - spreadsheets and calendar as a good way of syncronising our activities. I'll come back with more details, in the mean time excel is fine.

at the ready....

I've just set up a host of documents and folders in preparation for the DIAL-A-DIVA research I'm about to embark on. I will officially start researching mid-week once I've set-up all the communications and archiving essentials. I can't wait; I'm glad to be part of the team and welcome the opportunity to be part of such an exciting project.

Webcasting round the World

Maybe, just maybe, if we can get access to the right FTP site, I will be able to broadcast via web, not only our stream from the venue in Stavanger, but also any artists which want to allow access to their webcams.

Let me know if you may be interested in adding visual stimuli to the audio stream.

Technology ROCKS !!!!

contract almost signed...

We are so close to the starting line. Greg and I have been working over the last months to prepare and finesse the proposal for Stavanger 2008. There have been lots of ups and downs but it seems it's almost done with this phase.

Today sees the first tentative (virtual) meeting with the designer about the website redesign and print and first meeting with Cat Lee who will be the primary research assistant. While Cat was over we listened through some of the event recordings and the re-recordings from the last DIAL and suddenly it seemed like a reality, so good to be doing this again, making it better, more inclusive and more ambitious. Exciting months ahead!
