Relationship to London festival website

Update 6th Oct:
Yesterday, the London festival team (through our contact Shiri Shalmy at Open School East) stated "we would like to keep everything in one place rather than have a separate site for the Cornwall fringe. This way, I suppose, we make it clear that there is no centre v fringe and that all contributions to the AntiUni fest are equally important and interesting. This was the spirit if the original Antiuniversity and that's the point of the festival." Furthermore, they offered us full editing rights to their website and submission form. So there is good potential for us customising the main festival website to support a cornwall region filter or something.
We had a vote, and today resolved NOT to create a separate site, but to work with London on a unified festival website.
The site is hosted on cargocollective, which is mainly used for building artist's portfolios and which uses extensions on top of handlebars (itself an extension of mustache). No really, that is what these frameworks are called :) Full HTML/CSS access is available. The AntiUni site is currently using a Free account with 100Mb storage limit, 12 'projects' and 3 'pages'. Exactly what could be done with that remains to be seen (e.g. how the schedule will work)
We now just need to work out how to delegate/control access to the editing of this unified site.
Original context
The London festival website is now live (as of 1st Oct) and they have a deadline for submissions (18th Oct), registration form (for event providers), and online schedule TBA 2nd Nov.
There is no mention of the cornish fringe (yet) because we only confirmed this was happening a few days before their website went live. It is unclear whether they will ever acknowledge the cornish sub-identity as a specific thing on the main site. Perhaps that's fine, but we need to figure out if we want to ask them to change it? how to do that? or whether we just run our own parallel site? etc... e.g. do we follow their deadlines? Set our own different ones?

Delegate web admin to Ollie and Edwin Closed Wed 7 Oct 2015 8:07PM
Proposal overkill! Only one vote :) But no objections, so we are going ahead with the private subgroup. Ollie and Edwin have control (in collaboration with London).
Following the recent decision about not having our own website, we are all free to continue discussing what we would like the unified website to do, or what we might want it to look like, in the main public Loomio group.
This proposal is more specifically about creating a PRIVATE subgroup, owned by Ollie Scott and Edwin Love, where the final design and implementation of those ideas will take place (assuming the cooperation of the London team who seem very willing). They would then be able to share gruesome technical details and things like login information, without this being publicly visible. Adding further members to the web admin subgroup would be possible by request but at the sole discretion of Ollie and Edwin i.e. they would not need to ask the permission of the main group to add (or to refuse to add) whoever they might please.
NOTE: Adam Russell would also automatically (and unavoidably) be able to access the subgroup because he coordinates the parent Loomio group.
Agree - Ollie and Edwin get a private subgroup
Disagree - not comfortable with this (please elaborate)
Abstain - happy either way
Block - there is something very wrong here

@oscott + @edwinlove : I hope you can cast your vote! This is as much for checking that you're willing to take on the responsibility as it is checking that others are ok with that :)
@shirishalmy : my assumption is that Ollie/Edwin will work very closely with you guys on any actual changes, and that in the first instance it'll be about getting their heads around the cargo platform and seeing what's possible using a private duplicate just for testing.

Sorry, not ignoring these messages, but not had a chance to engage
with this properly yet. Am hoping to look through this and make some
responses when I get home tonight

Cool, thanks @edwinlove Sorry to all for the rather short 24hr turnaround on proposals so far! The Loomio default is 3 days but I'm deliberately going rather fast at this stage because of the 18th Oct deadline for public proposals (we haven't really announced this yet in Cornwall). Let me know if you want me to extend this vote beyond 9pm tonight to give people more time to think :)

I'm keen to do anything I can to help - quite into how it is already - http://cargocollective.com/antiuniversity/search seems to already be doing its job too - so other than getting people registering their events and then listing them nicely, Would we be looking to do much more immediately? I'm sure there's plenty we could do & It seems pretty good as it is. Count me in.

Just joined so first, great working with everyone in Cornwall. The London gang is very excited about this.
Great you agreed to stick to our very primitive website. We like the way it looks and worked quite a lot on the copy so hope you're happy with it and the idea that there is no 'centre'.
A search option would be great once the events list is put together. Thanks for looking into this.
Please let me know if you plan to make any changes to the copy / look.
