Mike's Notes
This is where I will keep detailed working notes on creating Workspaces for Culture. Eventually, these will become permanent, better-written documentation stored elsewhere. Hopefully, someone will come up with a better name than this working title.
This replaces coverage in Industry Workspace written on 13/10/2025.
Testing
The current online mockup is version 2 and will be updated frequently. If you are helping with testing, please remember to delete your browser cache so you see the daily changes. Eventually, a live demo version will be available for field trials.
Learning
In 2021, I attended Te Urungi: Innovating Aotearoa, a COVID-19 response innovation program run by the NZ Ministry of Culture and Heritage. At that time, I was working on a GLAM (Gallery-Library-Archive-Museum) SaaS product hosted on top of Pipi 8. (Note the "on top of" rather than "created by". That was the significant advance of Pipi 9)
There was a 2-day workshop in Invercargill. The organisers were very friendly, and their encouragement was helpful at the time. However, over the 2 days, I saw clearly that there wasn't a pathway for this to work, given how long the likely customers take to decide on anything. I need early adopters, not bureaucratic mazes.
The GLAM product has now become part of this Pipi 9 workspace.
Why
I love art and art studios to make stuff in. My happy place is a big workshop with lots of gear, music and coffee, and happy artist workmates making fabulous stuff. There is a real buzz amid the sweat, sawdust and paint. Then there is Opening Night, or The Premier, when your part of the creation comes into full glory.
This is for all the artists who make stuff that awakens our hearts.
