Newspeak House is a residential incubator and members' club in East London. It's financially supported by Commercial Hires of it's main space, but members can book the space for free for mission-aligned events.
What follows is a list of stakeholders of Newspeak Events, and what their needs from the system are:
- Members
- a) Can propose mission-aligned events [x]
- b) Can choose to be notified of new events [x]
- Currently both the above is done through HackPad
- c) Can view events in a calendar app of their choice (using an open standard calendar feed) [ ]
- Newspeak Staff
- a) Can approve member proposals for events and book in calendar [x]
- b) Can view all information about any booked event [x]
- c) Can view the information they need to accept or reject an event proposal [x]
- Currently all the above is done through a Google Spreadsheet
- Commercial Clients
- a) Can see available dates / spaces [x]
- b) Can book spaces [x]
- Currently both of the above happens through Newspeak House staff
Please submit enhancements for how to achieve these High Level User Needs more effectively as Pull Requests, or point out issues with the Issue Tracker.
- Some events book multiple spaces
- Equipment and staff also gets booked (sometimes with events, sometimes not)
- Double booking some spaces is allowed
- Events can be private or public
- Booking time default: Day or time, can be changed
- Certain assets need prerequisites (like PA needs staff supervision)
- Members can only book assets up to a month in advance: This is to avoid taking up potential commercial bookings
