Hi Liz!,
I wasn't present at CPPC's discussion on the printshop, or any
recent discussion about the printshop in general, but I believe
"advertising the press to the MIT community" means advertising the
printshop's service, and "IAP offering trainings" means offering
printshop training to brothers in the Chapter who want to
learn. That said, you can start thinking about how and how much
you'd like to advertise the service from the printshop to the
general MIT community.
Cat
* what cat said!
* be careful to not over advertise the service of letterpress printing
someone? cat? epower? matt decides?
might want to poll the press operators,
and see how many jobs they are each willing to do each month this
term
To: apo-printshop-operators
(replies might be something like
Feb 3
Mar 2
Apr 3
May zero
)
might want to poll the journeymen
and see how many train/qual runs (they take about the same amount of time)
they can do each month
To: apo-printshop-journeyman@mit.edu
assume i can do one train/qual run a month
though i might find time for more
* it be awesome to open the shop to competent people in the MIT
Community, but with the present configuration of the APOffice, it's
impossible
if anyone would like my thoughts, about other configurations that
might work, talk to me in person
note that TCA (a defunct student activity that did service) use to
provide access to the silkscreen room to members of the MIT
community for cost of supplies and a rental charge for each screen
used
something like AX providing access to drop poster making supplies
