Knights Kingdom

Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at [color=black]http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html[/color], Subsection
6.03(a), the 2019/2020 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2020/2021 Steering Committee[1].

Please post nominations in response to this message. Nominations will only be
recognized if they are in response to this message.

Per ss.6.03(a), you must specify the name of the person you are nominating,
along with your name. Another member of the community must second the nomination
in a reply, and the nominee must publicly accept the nomination in the same
channel (direct reply to the nomination or second) in order to be valid. If the
nominee does not accept, it will be assumed that he or she has declined, and
they will not be placed on the ballot.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM GMT on 29 February 2020. This means that to
be listed on the ballot, a candidate must have been nominated, seconded and must
have formally stated acceptance by that time.

The Steering Committee will give sufficient notice of the election and election
procedures per ss.6.03(b).

NOTE: subsection 6.03(b) states that elections should take place before March 1.
We interpret this to mean that we will commence the election on March 1, but
since it is electronic, it will run for 2 weeks, just as last time. The exact
time and date of start and end will be announced sometime very close to (but
after) 0000 GMT March 1.

Again, thanks to all of you for your commitment to the goals of the
organization, and in working with us this year. Please, stay involved with
LDraw.org and keep it moving forward!

[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw
Standards Board (LSB). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw
Organization while the Standards Board deals with the LDraw File Format.

There is some consistency problem on PT concerning the link texts and what they point to:
- in detail page/required/related subfiles, title text points to detail page while part_number.dat allows to download file. Perfect imho.
- in activity page, there is only a link on part_number.dat, but it points to detail page. I'd like it to download file, and get a link on title pointing to detail page
- Similar problem in parts list, i'd like part_number.dat to directly download file (and, for sake of consistency, show the .dat extension)
- I guess that file scan could/should be homogeneized too, with link to download on part_number.dat, link to detail page on part title, and link column with only the events link.

Even more nitpicking, use bold face for title in activity/list/scan pages like it is used in detail page.

Say, what's the deal with the !THEME meta? It's an optional meta for the OMR spec, but it doesn't appear in the list of official metas, nor the list of known unofficial ones. LDCad doesn't know it, are there other programs that do? Is it helpful to include when submitting to the OMR, or is it just as easy to include the theme as a keyword?

Since we use a hybrid threaded model, I’m toying with turning off automatic quoting. This mean that the post you are replying to won’t be quoted unless you explicitly check the quote box next to the post.

Thoughts?

I am working on the Belville Door, 33216, which has a rounded narrow side which goes along another curve. So naturally it should be a torus.

Now comes the problem: The major radius is 69.5 LDU, the minor radius is 2.5 LDU. The size of the major radius calls for a 48 segment division, but for the other dimension 48 segments are way too much.

So I think a set of primitives would make sense, that have a 48 segment division for the major radius, but a standard 16 segment division for the minor one. This could apply if the major radius is more than 10 times the minor one.

Also, if those primitives, made by the primgen2, have 'only' 4 decimals, the scaling to a radius of 70 leads to gaps, extending this to 5 decimals is a benefit for those applications.

Currently I made a subfile for this special torus-"primitive"

What's your opinion?

362 Transparent Blue Opal, see https://www.newelementary.com/2020/01/le....html#more
Seems we missed two other colors already available in 2019, 351 Transparent Bright Green with Glitter and 341 Transparent Bright Orange with Glitter (above linked page, at the end)

Our 'a' version matches their 'a'. However, our 'c' is their 'b' and our 'b' doesn't seem to exist.

Hello Gerald,

thank you for creating 33213 "Belville Wall, Tower with Window". Now only 33216 "Belville Wall, Door 1 x 4 x 11 1/3 Arched Top" is missing to complete an instruction for my MOC Castle in LDraw. Would you mind helping me out?

Kind regards,

Alexander

Hey all, I saw that a bunch of the new Speed Champion parts are already been done...which phenomenal.

Has anyone started 65633 and 65632?  If not, I would considerate it a great late Christmas gift!

(I don't see 65633 cataloged anywhere yet)
