Current status #2007-06-06 Installed drupal (open-source CMS) on /drupal, justto play around and see what it's capable of. If anyone else also wants to play with it, just contact me and I'll sort you out a login. Owen
2006-09-18 Plugged security hole which would've allowed guest login on SHIP to read calendar SQL and admin pwds in php files. Owen
2006-09-15 Added very basic anti-spam field to the open events booking form. Let's wait and see if that does the trick, if not we can devise something more sophisticated. Owen

2005-07-24 Right, I've ported owen's calendar over, and the new site validates as xhtml.

http://theoarc.org.uk/~charlie comments, changes, etc. go here #
There are desks for up to 5 people working at once. The office is set up for word processing, desktop publishing, image editing, web design, printing and CD burning. There is often someone to help with technical problems. There is stationery, paper and other office stuff. There are filing cabinets to store your work. Resources are bought out of your donations.
Meeting Space
There are sofas and chairs available and room for up to 20 people to meet. The room can be re-arranged to suit you. There are facilities for making hot and cold drinks. Costs are covered by donations.
Media Centre
There are computers here capable of audio and video recording and editing and also burning ?CDs and ?DVDs. Oxford Indymedia runs training sessions in making and editing short films. You can also learn to publish your own news on the web. The cost of ?CDs and other resources needs to be covered by your donations.
Other resources
There is a small library and noticeboards for events and campaigns. There are paints, brushes and other art materials you can use. Your group can receive mail here. Most importantly, though, there are loads of creative and skilled people connected to this centre. Donations keep the centre running.
Internet Access
The centre has a broadband conection and broadcasts wireless internet for anyone to pick up freely. There is a computer outside the room that can be used for internet browsing at any time.
How to use the resource centre
Bookings
Either the office space, the meeting space or the whole room can be booked, with preference going to campaigning and other progressive organising. The room is sometimes needed for weekend-long events so regular bookings on the weekend are in danger of being cancelled with notice for one-off events.
Drop-in Use
When the room isn't booked, there are often people here and you can use the room whenever it's open.
Organisation
The centre is run by autonomous working groups of volunteers who report back to a weekly meeting. To get involved, come to a meeting and join in with a working group. The meetings are on Thursdays at 7pm (in the room) and anyone is free to come along.
Costs
Costs are covered by donations. You are asked to donate for stationery, tea and coffee, CD burning and printing costs etc. and to help with rent and electricity costs. Unfunded groups are not asked to donate as much as groups with funding.
