Before-meeting chatter
- bios of Board members on the About page, with headshots
- meetings are now open ("hey! look! minutes!!")
- should they be announced on the blog?
- or just the mailing lists?
Meeting
- tasks assigned should be written down in minutes and each person should add their tasks to the bugtracker
- meeting goes haywire for various reasons
- cwilkn ends meeting half and hour early so everyone can go bugfixing
Unfinished Business
Web Team specific
- tidy up the URIs on the Wiki (but make sure they're backwards-compatible so that any old links still work): what if it was simply "wiki.freeculture.org/2006-03-22"?
- GNU FDL vs. Creative Commons on Wiki text (what about FC.o site itself --- is there even any licensing info on there?)
- this was on the old todo
- Stable URIs throughout the website (to prevent broken links)
- See this W3C page
- also note what they say about extensions (.php, .xhtml, etc.)
From the Board...
- Full page aggregator for all of our chapters, a la Planet Planet
- Also, a Planet-style aggregator for everyone's personal blog who is involved with FreeCulture.org, see Planet Beagle for a good example.
- And an aggregator for general free culture news, perhaps to live on FreeCulture.net?
- Enable enclosures on the main FreeCulture.org blog, start using it to podcast audio and video, with separate feeds for the audio and video categories.
- Add a dynamic map of our chapters, produced from the database
- User: ibm5_25:
- could this have pop-ups like Google Maps with useful info?
- User: ibm5_25:
- Install multi-user Wordpress, so that we can create blogs on demand
- Install multi-user Mediawiki, so that we can create wikis on demand
- Update the front page to look a little more like this, although perhaps without the sidebar, and obviously prettier than this hand-drawn sketch. This will require much writing of content.
New Business
- The chapters page could use, aside from a graphic overhaul, some more work
- links to chapter blogs/websites/wikis
- why do we have a Chapters Wiki page and a chapters FC.o page?
- volunteer to merge Campus_groups and Chapters?
General Meeting
Meeting Minutes
- FC submitting anything to Wikimania ([for the 2006 Conference in August])?
- submission ideas (under "Free Knowledge and Access to Information")
- panel (5 people req'd)
- presentation (1 person req'd) probably better because less people - what FC.o has done; is gearing up to do; what chapters typically do?
- submission ideas (under "Free Knowledge and Access to Information")
- Press Team (to write press releases and distribute them; keep an eye on press FC.o gets; talk to press when Nelson is busy)
- there is a mailing list, left over from the last attempt to form a team but it is inactive
- xoph volunteers to assemble and lead team!
- next meeting will be Sunday, April 2, 2006 at 8 PM, EST
