2021.11.12 KOAC Project

DRAFT MINUTES in progress Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre Project Meeting ( will be confirmed by attendees )

Attendees:Ricardo, Bob, Nabila, Scott, (Tanya sent questions ahead)

• Notes:
  • Primary Arts Centre goals for app:
    • allow self-tour of the primary 10 acre park for visitors with sculpture info presented as needed spatially
    • allow links to Art Centre webpages, donation links, etc ...
    • Allow self-tour from website without requiring visit
  • Other/Potential/Secondary app goals
    • Allow visitor image posting
    • Capture visitor info
    • Include layers with gathered horticultural info/elevation, etc...
    • Expansion to include other sculpture sites

• Demo (Nabila)
  • Yui & Nabila determined Mapbox as most suitable. Nabila walked through a Mapbox example with similar capababilities to the project asks
  • Confirmed can run both handheld & desktop
  • Confirmed sculptures can be geolocated and raise contextual information based on user location
  • Zoom in/out should maintain accuracy in areas where scuptures are placed closely together
  • Could include actual navigation from sculpture to sculpture but probably not required at this time
  • Confirmed really any geospatial information could be added ( paths, buildings, accessibility information, horticulture, etc ) if the Centre can fund its collection and inclusion.
  • Security:
    • Hasn't been looked at specifically but it is a commercial grade product.
  • Pricing
    • 1st 25K views free, $4/1000 views aftwerward
    • Considered reasonable
  • Succession:
    • The code will be with KOAC and is based on the opensource mapbox software [Nabila? Yui? Am I getting that right? - Scott]
    • Maintenance / changes (moves, additions) will be required
      • Warranty won't be included in the product but both Nabila & Yui would consider taking on the work
      • Bob & Ricardo, of course, would look for the opportuntiy to hire the project team members for that work
  • Project
    • Nabila & Yui can begin working in earnest second week of December
    • Ricardo is hoping to have something in users hands by spring
  • Other Considerations
    • Nabila & Yui will track their hours on the project
    • A certificate for the work will be provided by KOAC
    • Credit for the work will be given in the app
    • KOAC benefits from having tracked volunteer hours when applying for grants and other funding [GOOD TO KNOW FOR ALL NON-PROFIT PROJECTS!!]
