The Team
Simon Gill
local live adelaide has been my working project/hobby since October 2002. I have improved the website bit by bit over the years until the culmination of the complete redesign in 2005/2006. Andrea Gill helped with the graphic design of the logo and banner, and Scott Gill and Chris Teague started work on the database and backend system.
Over the years we have had various contributers and team members come and go, but are now looking for new volunteers to become a member of the team. We are looking for photographers (who regularly attend local shows), journalists or reviewers, as well as merch people and street teamers to get the word out about local live adelaide.
2008 is going to be the real launch of local live (I've been saying this for 5 years!). Using Ruby on Rails, Chris and I have developed a community driven website with some pretty kick-ass features which you may have already used. Stay tuned for our official launch party.
