We're discussing David's latest draft for the call for submissions.

In attendance: Aaron Westre, David McWilliams, Scott Watson.

The call is in good shape. We need to send it out soon. What else do we need for the call?

• Final wording
• Images
• Layout

We need to put up posters for the call for submissions and call for participating.

David will revise call and send out tomorrow. I will work on the fineprint and get that to David. We'll also take a crack at laying out the call and posters.

Call for Submissions - Illicit Space

• Include definitions of illicit and space?
• Submission format possibility: one image and 100 words?
• Encourage submissions from all disciplines:
  • Design: arch., l.arch., graphics, fashion, interior, experience
  • Other disciplines: music, theatre, history, social sciences, art, literature, philosophy, technology
• Articles don't need to be about design or by designers, but need to have implications for design.
• We'll work on this some more, get a draft together soon.

Time Schedule Should Be:

• Fall: Create and send out call for submissions.
• Spring: Gather content and edit.
• Summer: Layout and finalization.
• Fall: Distribution and promotion. Helping next issue get started.

Call for submissions:

• Before thanksgiving, if possible.
• Again after semester break.
• How can the call for submission expand the topic, not constrain it?
• Illicit Space, call for submissions: need some evocative examples (homeless spaces, surveillance, squatter spaces, underground music/art venues, property rights - physical/intellectual, illegal activities.
• Illicit space arises when public/private boundaries are disturbed. How does illicit space manifest itself in design?
• Come up with a draft for next week... we'll compare notes.
