For their custom.

For making a lovely newspaper.

For letting us blog about it.

And for photographing it in a new way.

Here’s some more info from Eivind Z. Molvær,

“The newspaper describes The Deptford Project’s past, present and future. TDP is, amongst other things, a train carriage in the middle of Deptford high street, London, made into a cafe — which is worthy of a newspaper on its own (and it had been featured in many) but also a range of events and markets held on the site.”

Investors: Mel looking stern and Dan looking pleased at our pre-launch revenue.

We had our 3rd Investor Demo this morning. We can’t tell you that much about it because as we get closer to launch we’re going to have to stop being as transparent as we have been previously. This is a shame, but it’s just one of the issues we face as we grow.

As a last transparency hurrah we’ll share with you the agenda from the meeting.

It went very well. Everyone is pleased. There is more work to be done, but we’re on track and we’re generating some decent revenue pre-launch, which is important.

The next two bits of news you can expect from us are a beta launch date and a pricing announcement. You should expect those in a week or so.

This morning we held an Investor Breakfast, which is like an Investor Demo but earlier.

We updated them on all the latest progress and showed them some trial things we’ve made – both electronic and physical. Stuff so new it isn’t even on Flickr yet. We’re on track with everything and everyone seems happy.

There have been some significant developments since we last spoke to them and to you. The major one being that we’ve found someone who can print very small quantities of newspapers. This is fantastic because it enables us to offer more services to more people. (Look, I’m still speaking Investor.)

However, it’s Friday now and it’s been a long week, so we’ll talk more about that another time.

We got out the best china, wore our best jumpers, tidied up a bit and looked like we were concentrating really hard all the time. Then we hit them with our Investor Demo. Including some of the nontrivial stuff.

We think it went well. They liked what we showed them and we’re a little bit ahead of schedule. Even though the “investment” hasn’t appeared in our bank account yet.

If yesterday we were in the Dragons Den, today we’re off to the Lions Den. We’re meeting with some actual newspaper printers. More news as we get it.
