Planning
Monday March 21st; We have a planning meeting today to look at how we might run the formal launch of the MOSI-ALONG project at the Museum of Science and Industry Manchester. We have a fantastic space in the Garrard Suite, which has two rooms, one of which will be set up Theatre style, the other which can be open and in which I am hoping to organise a Community Fayre (or Fair) open session, for people who might take part to make their presence felt. The launch could look like this;

Notes;
If we have a Mosi-Along Open Session (Fayre) then we need the following to people a stand (I think a minimum) and at least 6 to make it worth while.
Partners; MU, MOSI, MIMAS, XERTE, LSEN, MOSI-ALONG, LGC, Unlike Minds (DD) to have a stand and answer questions. I would also invite Manchester Creative Collective, Louder that War, Ragged University, Open Manchester, Green Party, along with the other organisations Walt pulled together for the EU-IST7 bid workshop day last year for the Learner-Generated Digital Libraries project.
This is all up for discussion today when I hope we can get Beth Powell to lead on co-ordination.
