The immediate furture

Ok julian so what is happening. What have we got! We need to sort this thing out. I feel we need to
1. decide exactly what the purpose of the DSS is - make up some sort of vision and mission statement so that we know who we are, but mostly so everyone else knows who we are and what we are about.
2. clearly map out the path that we are going to take the DSS down
2. get in contact with other people in the other disciplines
3. start spreading the word about it and get more interest within industrial design
4. make further descisions on the pub crawl
5. discuss with soumitri
6. start to form a committe or whatever for it.
7. decide whether it is the DSS or the DC or the DK or whateva the fuck it's gunna be called
and so on and so forth

I feel that we really need to get a solid base within ID and let everyone in ID know whats going on before we start trying to get to many of the other departments heavily involved. And we need to be careful not to tread on toes - cause remember that the lady at the reception up in building eight said something about a meeting that had been held, or something and it was held every semester or whateva - so if there is already stuff within the other disciples happening we need to try and not piss them off, well at least not this early on.

Union funding

So i had a bit of a look at the RMIT Union website and had a quick squiz about what they had to say on the setting up of clubs and societies:

"How do I start a club?
You’re probably asking yourself at this stage "That sounds plenty impressive, but how do I start a club?" Well, it’s not that hard. All you need are fifteen (15) RMIT students who say that they’re your partners in crime, or worshipable disciples or whatever it is that you’re on about. The Clubs and Societies Officer can fill you in on the other requirements. But it really is that easy. "

got this from http://www.su.rmit.edu.au/clubs/index.html

this was also on there :

"All C&S Groups are entitled to partial financial subsidies in the form of grant applications of their various activities whether it’s a BBQ, a boat cruise, art exhibition or just a plain old pub crawl. Within the period of 1999-2000 alone the C&S Department processed an average of 185 to 190 grant applications"
