Wishlist
For everything in this list we are accepting both donations of items and lending of items.
Donations - D
A straight up donation, where SkullSpace gets ownership of the item.
Lending - L
A form of borrowing where the owner retains ownership but lends the item to skullspace indefinitely. The owner will have to sign a piece of paper stating that a) if if gets broken, SkullSpace or whomever broke it isn't liable, the owner is basically boned and b) the owner must provide at least 30 days notice before removing the item from the space (taking it back), in order to allow SkullSpace to obtain a replacement.

Item | Notes | Cost/Donator | Have it? |
---|---|---|---|
Sound System | Two speakers, maybe a sub | -L/D Russ - old RCA, decent. | Yes |
Microphone | Something you can clip on your clothes, this is for presenters giving talks. Something suitable to feed into a recording setup. | $?? | No |
Video camera | Something that can be hooked into a computer running dvswitch for live mixing. This is to be framed on the presenter, while a feed of the desktop will be mixed with it. | D Chris (Canon Powershot TX1)

Yes |
Tripod for camera | Something to keep it steady | D Chris
$?? - D Ben (kind of old and not the most portable, but does as description requires) |

Recording system / Media center | Basically a computer dedicated to recording. Needs a decent hard drive or fast fileserver access (raw DV is 3MB/s). Also might need a firewire port (depends on camera), doesn't need much else really. Ethernet connection to the presentation laptop to grab a stream of the screen. This could double as a media centre for playing music when we are not presenting. In this case it needs a sound card. | $?? | No |
