Revision as of 17:48, 8 March 2012
This is a page where members can propose projects they'd like to work on, and potentially receive funding for. Anybody is welcome to post a project, and, in the last meeting of each month, a vote will be held to determine which project(s) is/are awarded funding. The projects may be personal, or may benefit the space. Or be anything else, really, we aren't going to be picky (it's up to the members to vote). See Project funding for more information.
In our current budget, we have $100/month dedicated to projects. Projects can request all or part of the money, as needed. Our goal is to make this as simple as possible.
Instructions:
- Post your project at the bottom of the list
- Estimate the dollar value - if your project is selected, you'll be given a cheque for that amount
- Be prepared to talk about your project at the last meeting of the month
- Create a link to a page where you describe it, if possible
Example entry
- Proposed by: Ron
- Amount requested: $100
I plan to mount a bat signal-style spotlight to the roof. When enabled, it'll summon members to the space for a special meeting.
Hovercraft
- Proposed by: Molly
- Amount requested: $300
I wish to finish the Skullspace hovercraft.
Robotic Parts Finder
- Proposed by: Rylaan
- Amount requested: $500
Robotic Parts Finder. I would probably want to hack this design a bit to make it usable for more than just small trays. http://www.instructables.com/id/StorageBot-voice-controlled-robotic-parts-finder/
USRP
- Proposed by: Mak
- Amount requested: $3,000 - $5,000 (estimated)
If we can ever get together some crazy money, we should get a USRP. Sniff all the things.
Examples of what we can do are:
- Demonstrate sniffing cell (IMEI) / bluetooth (MAC) / wifi (MAC) to identify nearby individuals
- A creepy application of this would be a webpage with, at a minimum, the number of people in SkullSpace
- Examine our keyfobs, and try to crack and clone them
Signs
- Proposed by: Roswyne
- Amount requested: $100 (estimated)
We could use some signage to help people recognize where SkullSpace is physically located. This could include:
- A sign at the front door, in the lower portion of the door (replacing the really old Cre8ery sign).
- A banner to be hung on the William St side of the building (to attract the attention of RRC students).
- An insert for the colour-scrolling sign, which could potentially be placed in a window.
We could also use additional signs within the space, to help people find the washrooms and make the drink machine look better:
- Hanging signs in the hallway, pointing which way to go to the washrooms and AssentWorks.
- A replacement front panel for the drink machine, with a cool logo.
- Labels for the drinks actually in the drink machine (replacing the handwritten scraps of tape).
Many of these can probably be done at AssentWorks for the cost of parts, if anyone is familiar with using the vinyl cutter, etc.
