Not JUST a Virtual Club

Andy Millar
Just to say that since the new forums started with photos (if we want) and real names I for one have found this club has gone beyond the virtual - and all the better for it. I've just had my third IET event this year where at least one person has come up to me and said "Hello, you're Andy aren't you? We've never met in real life" - particularly impressive this time as it was someone (hello Garethsmiley) who lives 3,000 miles away from me! I cannot recommend this highly enough as a way of meeting other engineers. 


Of course, I quite understand that some or many members won't want their photos up for all sorts of reasons, but even then it's still possible to spot names on conference / seminar lists. Definitely another really good reason to join in to these discussions. yes


Cheers,


Andy

    I love John Atkinson's cartoons! smiley He posts new cartoons on his website quite regularly at http://wronghands1.com

    Thank you for posting the PDF re copyright laws etc. It's very interesting reading...


    I'm commissioned by a local business to take photos and create images for them so in my case I still retain copyright of the images but they have exclusive licence to use them as they see fit. As the business owner is a friend of mine, I also allow him to use the images for commercial profit too, i.e. if he wants to use the images or photos I take for the business on saleable merchandise etc. There are many different licences relating to what you can and cannot do with copyrighted images so it's always best to check and if in doubt, don't use it!


    Re the charity that had to close, I think that's a bit mean... sad especially if they'd complied and removed it once notified. Most copyright owners will issue a cease and desist first and if ignored will then take a more legal approach. 


    We'll take a look at placing additional reminders across relevant areas of the community but most of the disclaimer information etc can also be found within the Terms and Conditions of use when you create an account. Always worth adding reminders though! wink
