Minutes of Last Meeting and matters arising.

v Agreed

v The NYDP Cyber Angels training will be starting on the 23^RD at Forest Gate Center.

v SRB- progress/employment.

Everything is being done so that the advert for the job will be out very soon. Only one job will be on offer as the other will be someone from the Council and transferred on secondment. Any one and everyone is free to apply for the job as forms will be made available at the TMO’s office.

v Technical Progress.

Various tests have now been done and it is likely that the cabling will be in fibre as it is more reliable. There will also be a meeting with the manufacturers of the Set Top Boxes. There are still some things yet to be sorted out with the Set Top Boxes but hopefully this will soon be cleared up.

v Carpenters College and Docklands Center.

They will be connected to the system. The College,a masonry one, is new and Carpenters and Docklands Center in anticipation have already allocated a room for this. The weekend fairs at the C&D center can also be used to promote the WUC. Setting up computers at the C&D center is subject to cost.

v eLearning

Helen reported that a guidance have been asked on what to be done. Tee mentioned her meeting with Jan and the discussion held. Helen said a meeting is on the pipeline whereby all these things will be discussed and ironed out with the school. None of the guideline points has the procurement of laptops for teachers.

v Media Trust

Richard Stubbs reported that Media Trust is now willing to work with us.

v Sure Start

Will like to use WUC as the Communication link. Can also pump some money for publicity into WUC.

Helen then said that she will have a chat with Media Trust so as to accommodate Sure Starts’ proposals.

v Project Management.

Work will be starting on the Tower Blocks before the end of the month. Unfortunately there is no money for CCTV.

v Evaluation Progress.

The list of the 50 volunteers is at hand but likely there will be no installation till late August/September. This will also affect the first stage of evaluation.

v Shed9

A video making Company. It was suggested that they should liase with Media Trust who might use subcontractors that will be able to source adverts from local companies. This way we might be able to use them at no cost to WUC.

v eDemocracy

- Hansard Society.

Will like to do a documentary on battered women. How do we feel about having it on the intranet?

AOB

Pallavi reported that Roger, the head of the cips at the College have resigned and Diane Golding is at the moment acting.

v Smart Cards have been introduced in some Libraries and so far no problems.

As a result of the holidays, the next meeting will be in Sept 17^th 2001 at 3pm.
