<p class=MsoNormal>Hello All<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am currently entering the test phase of project vuemotion<br />

<p class=MsoNormal><b>What is it we are after?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are launching our test screens during the remainder of<br />
this month and are keen locate our some of our screens in Soho amongst other<br />
London areas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are looking for vacant, or occupied [with spare window<br />
space] commercial premises.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The locations need to be in popular high footfall areas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>What will we give in return?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Simply put it&#8217;s a revenue stream for our property<br />
owners/screen hosts. Through a percentage of our advertising revenue a host<br />
will earn for redundant/underutilised space&#8230;.this could potentially be in<br />
the several of thousands of pounds.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>The </b>vue<b>motion mission:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We believe that the dynamic world of digital signage should<br />
not be the preserve of just the hefty budget, blue-chip and multi-national<br />
corporations. As such it&#8217;s our mission to bring locally based and<br />
visually vibrant advertising to local companies and organisations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our screens are large, on average 74 inches (diagonal),<br />
vibrant and most importantly will showcase dynamic moving image advertising.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our advertising clients will be made up of locally based<br />
businesses, national brands with local presence, museums, galleries and other<br />
organisations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our advertising content aims to bring something new to the<br />
world of local advertising. As such we are working with young creative<br />
individuals, companies and design colleges. All aimed at promoting London based<br />
talent and making effective advertising affordable to local businesses.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Using<br />
under-utilised commercial window space in key areas of high footfall and stop<br />
start traffic we aim to take our clients advertising to thousands of potential<br />
customers. Our screens are made to capture the attention of passers-by through<br />
striking visual content.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>We want to<br />
give local businesses and organisations, such as museums, galleries and public<br />
institutions, the chance to reach the very people who could become their<br />
customers; the local population.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>If you or<br />

<p class=q-details style='background:white'><span lang=EN style='font-family:<br />
"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>It seems to me that technology and media<br />
start-ups have always found it difficult to find adequate start-up funding even<br />
in the good times. Now it is even more difficult. However, as founder and CEO<br />
of <a href="http://www.dreamstake.ning.com/">www.dreamstake.ning.com</a> it<br />
occurs to me that the environment is becoming more conducive to a new more self<br />
contained business model with less reliance on external sources of funding. <br />
Firstly, the bootstrapping of technology solutions has become a real<br />
possibility. The entry point for many technologies is extremely low, sometimes<br />
free of cost. Providers such as Ning, Google and Huddle offer a &#8216;freemium&#8217;<br />
model that makes it extremely easy to launch &#8216;beta&#8217; services at minimal cost.<br />
Open source also facilitates this process. <br />
Next, there are many excellent individuals available to offer their services at<br />
good rates or even to barter services. The internet allows us to access this<br />
talent pool and consider the &#8216;crowdsourcing&#8217; of projects as a real option. We<br />
are currently building this model on DreamStake and will announce our approach<br />
very shortly. <br />
Finally, crowdfunding becomes a distinct possibility. In this model a community<br />
such as DreamStake elects to fund certain projects through the membership<br />
voting for the best. <br />
I truly believe that we can change the model for launching ventures. We need to<br />
build up critical mass and put in place the structures to support this approach.<br />
It is all happening as we speak.and I appreciate everyones support and patience<br />
in making it a success. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

build up critical mass and put in place the structures to support this<br />
approach. It is all happening as we speak.and I appreciate everyones support<br />
and patience in making it a success. </span></font></p>

color:#1F497D'>Just extending on William&#8217;s warning &#8211; boilerplate legal<br />
documents are <i>Very Convenient&#8482;</i> and great if you need a cheap legal<br />
document to tick a box for some cosmetic, unimportant reason; but usually <i>Not<br />
So Great At All&#8482;</i> if it ever comes to actually <i>disputing</i> them. Which<br />
is kind of the point of a legal document in the first place. Boilerplates as a<br />
rule are horrible in any situation where the outcome of any dispute is<br />
important or critical to you. If it&#8217;s critical, the cost of getting the<br />
agreement drafted by a competent lawyer is 200% worth it. Remember that the best<br />
contract is one that keeps you out of court in the first place. That is best achieved<br />
by ensuring all parties are clear on what is being agreed and providing an<br />
effective non-legal dispute resolution mechanism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";<br />
color:#1F497D'>If you&#8217;re not willing to work with a lawyer, the big question is<br />
&#8211; why do you really need a legal document? If you don&#8217;t need it don&#8217;t use it,<br />
because it will be harder to understand and probably won&#8217;t save your neck if it<br />
ever goes to court (often leaving you worse off than if you had no legal<br />
document). We once used a boilerplate contract and later when we had our lawyer<br />
look over it, were advised that it was only enforceable by the other party &#8211; the<br />
worst possible scenario. (We promptly amended the contract!) The most important<br />
things about a contract is establishing intent and obligations, and a clear<br />
mechanism for dispute resolution. If you&#8217;re not willing to work with a lawyer,<br />
you&#8217;re probably better off with a clear non-legal document that everyone<br />
understands &#8211; e.g. Keep It Simple and Sweet (for all parties). If everyone&#8217;s<br />
happy, there&#8217;s no dispute!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

non-legally-qualified) advice is Work With A Lawyer (else, be clear that you&#8217;re<br />

<pre>Good afternoon</p>
<p>I have put together a roadshow across EMEA to discuss and learn about<br />
Storage, SSDs and reducing costs using the cloud, Disks and mixing your<br />
architecture.</p>
<p>I Hope you can join us for lunch or dinner at an informative seminar on<br />
how to think about storage in new ways.</p>
<p>This 3-hour seminar is aimed at technical audiences and consists of two<br />
parts.</p>
<p>The first is a technical session addressing the need for a new storage<br />
paradigm. We will address three use cases:</p>
<p>    * Reducing the cost of storage by incorporating the Cloud Storage,<br />
Disks, SSDs and RAM into your storage hierarchy.<br />
    * Increasing observability and performance of your LAMP stack<br />
application by incorporating SSDs.<br />
    * Providing varying service levels to your customers from a single<br />
storage device.</p>
<p>The second session will provide an in-depth view into Sun's first<br />
offering in the Open Storage space. This session will talk about how to<br />
incorporate SSDs in a Hybrid Storage Pool and how Analytics can enable<br />
fine-grain observability in your storage system.</p>
<p>The sessions are a mix of slides, demos, and open discussion.</p>
<p>Select from the list below to learn more and register.</p>
<p>Brussels - May 18<br />
Zurich - May 19<br />
London - May 19<br />
Amsterdam - May 20</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi All</p>
<p>Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes. <br />
I am a Trustee for a London-based Arts and Community Orgnanization- Charity<br />
Status. We have 1.5 employees down from 10 a decade ago as result of public<br />
sector cuts. </p>
<p>Does anyone know of either public sector, private sector or philanthropic trust<br />
schemes that might support us with the cost of employing a Web2.0 literate<br />
Marketing Officer? I envisage it being a 2 year rather than a permanent post.<br />
The 2 people we have in place currenly are the Centre&#8217;s Director and half a<br />
Youth &amp; Education Officer (who also doubles up as our secretary and admin<br />
person).</p>
<p>I am not looking for a person or a volunteer but rather sources of funds for<br />
employing a person for upto years on either a full time or pro-rata basis. We<br />
already have an individual in mind. We are now as part of our 3 year business<br />
plan committed to building a micro-enterprise carnival cluster at the Centre,<br />
in additon to our normal arts and community activities. The Marketing Officer<br />
will also double up as our Community Enterprise officer!!!</p>
<p>There is a sense of urgency to this in that we are having to evacuate our<br />
current building due to capital refurbishment for 10-12 months- we have been it<br />
for 30 years! And this will place us at risk of losing a significant section of<br />
our community participants unless we keep them constantly informed of, and<br />
comforted in, the fact that their space will be back. Web 2.0 provides for this<br />
and our education outreach efforts amongst our teenagers..</p>
<p>Gosh, I hope all the above made sense and that I haven&#8217;t taken for granted the<br />
purposes of this list and your time.</p>
<p>Looking forward to the responses: positive and negative</p>
<p>My kind wishes</p>
<p>Ed</p>
