Discussion Points:

  • Discussion started with the Education Guild Budget Request for Q1 2024

  • After having a look on the treasury guild last meeting, concerns were raised for the amount being put for the facilitation and management

  • On note to that, Headelf decided to cut off the facilitation/management and planning along with the dework task management completely.

  • 30 USD for scribing is a fair amount or not ?

  • On this question Rojo said that it is a standard amount now for scribing meeting notes (which led to agreement of this amount)

  • Then EseWilliams infographic on Awakening Health was discussed

  • The infographic quality was good and most of the details were mentioned

  • Headelf pointed out some minor grammar mistakes and Peter said that Hong Kong, China should be changed to just Hong Kong

  • Rojo said that the graphic is good and just needs some minor rework and can be audited by next week

  • Then Osmium Video on Mindplex was discussed.

  • The Reviews on the video are as follows : 1) Graphic couldn't be read 2)Voice sounded a little AI 3) AI voice is okeay-sh (Rojo), Visual is good (Rojo), Transition was good (Rojo), Good video (Rojo). 4) AL instead of ai (Peter), San Francisco HeadQuarters needs research

  • Video needs a bit rework before auditing (Headelf)

  • Should we post these videos to the public?(Rojo) They are pretty good

Narrative:

Presentation of MAP (3D Model Graphic) for the project Gaming Session - Game made By Slate - Maze Game Workshop By @Slate On basics of "How to Use Roblox Studio". Slate was not able to record the workshop because of screen lag, so proceeded to give the workshop without recording so that everyone can see it clearly. He will record it later for Youtube.

A lot of questions were asked by @Tenbasetee about doing certain things on Roblox Studio, which Slate effciently answered by showcasing how each thing works and is made inside of Roblox Studio.

Then the Gaming Session happened, and everyone was intrigued to ask who made this game and enjoyed it while playing.
