Stuy KC Web Committee http://stuykc.org/web/blog/ The web committee of Stuyvesant High School Key Club. en-us Copyright 2008 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 23:36:00 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification OMG Who's This Emailing You? HEY WEBBIES!

When was the last time we've seen you? Last year, I think... in November. Wow, that was a long time ago.

I just wanted to remind all of you that we're still here! *gasP* I know you can't believe it. We can't believe it either. But there's still some time left before we retire and go live in our senior homes in March. (I don't mean that seniors, the other elderly grand-seniors.)

Which reminds me, of course, that the new cabinet going to be appointing... *dun dun dun* committee heads~! sometime in March. (I forgot what reminded me of that.) You can read up on all the committees here. The cab will give you more info later, so feel free to apply!
Okay um... also, you know the deal. We want your photos and videos like a rawring animal wants fwood (uh, scratch that analogy). Remember those? I don't. jkjk They're all on our website and hmm... I think you get POINTS for those, do you? Agh I'm really out of it. Who am I kidding, of course you do. :)

SO ANYWAYS, if you're already taking photos or videos for these events, you can (and should) send them in!

Now, as you know, we are trying to increase viewership of our website so I encourage you to go there, click around, click anywhere, click everywhere, click like mad, click until you can't click anymore, click until your mouse breaks, click until the site crashes, click... and of course, read the minutes, see the slideshows, view the videos, play some games, vote in the polls, make some requests, etc. etc. with the ultimate goal of CRASHING the WEBSITE!!!1

Have fun guys!

The home page of Stuyvesant High School Key Club is located at www.stuykc.org. ]]> http://stuykc.org/web/blog/2008/01/home-page.html http://stuykc.org/web/blog/2008/01/home-page.html Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:29:55 -0500 Sup Guys? It's Been A While... So if you guys still remember us, we're the web committee.

And if you've visited the site recently like the dedicated Key Club members you are, you would've seen that we've made some little changes here and there to the site...

Anyway, with a new design comes a new header. We need a new header. Your president doesn't like how the header picture doesn't fill up the whole top, so he wants picture that does. So we basically need someone to create a new header. Something exciting, something awesome, something mosaic, something that's longer than the picture we have right now.

We want to turn the picture that's on www.stuykc.org into something like the header on www.stuy08.com or www.freewebs.com/bxscikeyclub. Something with many pictures.

The criteria? It has to be 650 pixels by 150 pixels. Yup. Not inches, pixels. And it has to have the arrow thing at the top. If you don't know what we're talking about, go on the site and stare the header photo until you figure out what we're talking about.

Take a look at the examples we were talking about to get an idea of what we're want. If you need pictures, you can find some on picasaweb.google.com/stuykc.

So for all those graphics geniuses who sent us an email early in the year about knowing nerdy computer stuffs, here's your chance to put your photoshopping skills to good use! for those who send something in, we'll give them 10 points for their efforts. If yours gets chosen, we'll give you 30 points, so make them look good! And they'll be on every page on the site, so yea, you get recognition too.

You guys have until 11:59:59 PM on Friday, November 16, so get started!

If anybody took pictures at the Hallooooween event from Saturday, send them to us at web@stuykc.org!

We need someone to write minutes for the upcoming meeting. Anyone interested, just send us an email with 11/2 in the subject and your name, ID, blah blah blah in the body.

For videos, we're having a little trouble getting them and putting them up on the site. It might take a while. Some things to remember when you give us videos:
~put the files in the CD
~if you can't, you can make us a DVD and we'll try to get the video out of it, but it's easier for us when the file's in it

Thanks for reading this painfully short email.

We hope some of you had the chance to take VIDEOS and PICTURES at these events.
 
Some stuff we need:
  • pictures for It's My Park Day
  • videos for It's My Park Day and MSABC Walk
If you have pictures for MSABC Walk, that would be awesome too. And remember, if anyone wants to submit maybe a paragraph about their Key Club experience, feel free to send it to us. They're going to be 10 points per story thingie. Photosets (per event) will be 10 points and videos will be 30 points each.
 
So send them to us! Somehow. Whether it's by email attachment (if it's under 10MB), by uploading to a site we call http://www.yousendit.com/, by CD or camcorder tape, or by owl mail.

Hope to see lots of pics and vids.

Anyone can take pictures. Just send them in as a .ZIP attachment and make the subject the name of the event.
 
Two events:
 
It's My Park Day
The TWO people filming at this event will be Vinay Chodha and Victoria Tsang. So make sure the video is about 10-15 min. You can each give us a CD with the videos in them when you see us, and we'll put them together.
 
MSABC
The three people filming will be Fannie Law, Victoria Wong, and Susan Chen. Again, 10-15 min. I believe we'll be cheering at the event, so maybe you can get footage of that. Again, if you catch us in the hallway or something, give us the CD.
 
And of course, EVERYONE can take photos. PHOTOS. WITH A CAMERA!
]]> http://stuykc.org/web/blog/2007/10/events.html http://stuykc.org/web/blog/2007/10/events.html events Fri, 19 Oct 2007 22:29:00 -0500 ZOMG First Assignments 14 PEOPLE signed up for either video, writing, or both. For those who didn't sign up for anything, you can still help us by taking PICTURES. So here's the breakdown on what each group will do. PHOTO PEOPLE WILL TAKE PHOTOS, WRITING PEOPLE WILL WRITE, AND VIDEO PEOPLE WILL MAKE VIDEOS.

More specifically, those who write will take notes at each meeting and write a short paragraph about what happened during the meeting (maybe about what was handed out, what people signed up for, what people did, what the cab did, etc...) Every week, we'll ask if anyone wants to take notes and write about the next meeting, and from the list of people who sign up, we'll choose a person to do it, and he/she will take notes on the meeting, write a short summary about it, and send it to us. He/she will get 30 points for it.

For video, we'll pick out some of the larger events and have people sign up to film them. From the list, we'll pick three people to make videos of 10-15 minutes each. Hopefully, each person won't stand next to each other and film the exact same thing. If you want to edit it, you can, but keeping in mind that the video will be connected with two other videos. After filming, they'll get the video to us somehow, preferably by CD and we'll put it up. They'll each get 30 points for filming.

Of course, those who don't want to write or film can take pictures. Woohoo.

So, first assignments...

We need someone to write about the coming meeting on Friday. If anyone wants to do that, send us an email with the subject "10/19" in it cuz that's the day of the meeting, and we'll pick someone to do it. Make sure to mention that UNICEF boxes are handed out, and anything the cab does for "icebreakers" (AKA attempts in making us reved up for the meeting).

Two events coming up...

It's My Park Day is on Saturday. If anyone signed up and is interested in filming the event, send us an email with "It's My Park Day" and we'll pick out 3 people to film it. Remember, 10-15 minutes of video.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk is on Sunday. Anyone who signed up for the event and want to film, shoot us an email with the subject "MSABC".

So sign up for something to do, and we'll put them up on the site. Also, if anyone wants to write anything, ANYTHING, at all about event stories, anything that happened, anything you feel like writing about that remotely has anything to do with Key Club, send us something and we'll give you 10 points. There's no limit or requirement for how much to write, so if anyone is up to it, send us an email with "Story" in the subject and the thingy in the body.

~VICTOGAVIN ]]> http://stuykc.org/web/blog/2007/10/zomg-first-assignments.html http://stuykc.org/web/blog/2007/10/zomg-first-assignments.html assignments Wed, 17 Oct 2007 19:25:00 -0500 We're Gonna Separate You Guys Yup. That's right. We are. But don't worry!

You can choose either to do filming or writing.

Or you can do both but if you have a video camera, it would be nice for you to do video.

So in video, we will pick out some of our larger events and randomly pick 3 people to film the videos. Each person will get 30 points for their video.

In writing, we will pick someone to take notes during a meeting and s/he will write a paragraph or so about the meeting, which will be posted on the site. Not that long and the person who writes it will get 30 points.

Don't worry, whichever group you join, you'll end up with about the same amount of work...er...points...as people in the other group.

You all have until Monday to choose which group(s) to be in. Send an email to web@stuykc.org with either video or writing (or "both") in the subject and your name, ID #, and phone # in the body. On Monday, everyone will gather at the sophomore bar and swear allegiance to the web committee and take the oath of loyalty.

(Just kidding, we're gonna send out specifics for each group, so sign up for what you want to be in, and keep checking the mailbox!)

P.S. If you know any XHTML, CSS, or PHP, you can help out! If you are good at photoshop, you can help us with our website too! Design a better background or a banner and you will be generously rewarded (we mean it). Our website is currently powered by a content management system called Joomla, if anyone knows what that is. We need you guys. SO, if you know anything, anything at all about what we're doing with the site itself, hit reply!

Here is our story:

We have a website.
It is called http://www.stuykc.org.

You want points.
You can get points.

You have a video camera.
You can get points by filming a video (15 points for each video and 25 if you edit it with like movie maker or something).
 
You have a camera.
You can get points for taking pictures (10 points per photo set, which is a set of 10 photos or more).

You join web and make big points easy.

The End :)

We encourage each of you to submit at least one video every year. There is no requirement and we won't kick you out if you don't because we desperately need you all. It's just that we would like to say something other than "Filmed by Victor Ma" on our website. Besides, you'll get points for just holding a video camera for a few minutes. Yes, your name will be on the site if you submit anything.

Send all pictures and videos to web@stuykc.org. If you have too many pictures or your videos are too big, burn them on a CD and give to either one of us (Victor or Gavin) when you see us, and we'll put them up on the site.

Since we have so many people in the committee, we're going to have to limit the amount that people can send in videos. For videos, we will pick out the larger events and if people want to film those events, they can send an email to web@stuykc.org with the name of the event. We can have a maximum of 3 people filming each big event and about 10-15 minutes of film each, so if you really want to film, sign up! And anyone can take as many pictures they want as long as there are at least 10 in the set.
