Welcome/Group Name Brainstorming

Hello all! I've started this blog as a forum so we can get the DMA student group up and running. We held an impromptu election at the meeting yesterday and for the fall semester, Chase will act as Secretary, Lindsay as Treasurer, and myself as President. We intend to hold formal elections in the spring.


Below is listed a number of names/ideas that a few of us cooked up yesterday. We are going to choose a final title by *this Friday* (September 12). Please provide any feedback on names, which ones you like or any others you can think of. This is completely open, so please contribute as much as you can!



*DAMN (Digital Arts and Media Network)

*DMAG (Digital Media Arts Group)

*Links

*Networking is a positive word to include

*DMASG (Digital Media Arts Student Group)

*Axon (Axonics)

* Consider Neologism (Intel, Comcast, etc.)
-Dignet, Dig as the prefix, Di as a recognizable prefix, Digitalis
-digital and digits as fingers

*The Immortals

*Matrix

*Click/Clique

*Cursor/Curser

*Sight/Site


Also, please provide any feedback on what duties/responsibilities you would like this group to take or how you would like to see funding spent. We came up with some possibilities for that too, but add more if we've missed some!


*conferences
*shows
*lecturers
*critiques
*movie nights
*trips


Finally, give some thought as to how frequently and on what days we should hold meetings. We have the advantage of a great space to work in; it is out of bounds on Thursday nights due to Seminar. As mentioned before, please provide feedback by Friday on the name and as soon as possible with everything else. We need to have all paperwork in by September 29 to qualify for funding in the spring.


Ok, that should be everything. Thank you for all your help!

DAMN (Digital Arts and Media Network) is my favorite by far. It's exactly what the world needs at this juncture.
