IRL/AFK fall meeting

Agenda

New chapters for Fall 2010?
How are last year's new chapters?
Chop up the new chapter list and see how year two is going by email
- Send these in person during the meeting?
Our chapter database is now powered by a google spreadsheet
- so we can start being much better about actually having our website reflect the latest reality of our chapters
  - we have this other google spreadsheet with a bunch of info on chapters--we should merge this into the chapter db one. also, we have the google doc called "free culture in europe," which has a bunch of contacts at universities (not clear to me if these are chapters or not, but if they are this should also be merged in).
Fall 2010 Census email--let's write it here. starting with kevin's draft from the summer

Phone calls
Chop up the list, each board member call a few people
