This is a Core Team meeting in IRC. The Core Team is meeting at 1pm PDT, the web team is meeting at 2pm PDT.

Attendance/introductions
If you put your ?def into jibot, it makes introductions go a LOT faster. If you have no idea what this means, we'll explain in the meeting :)

Chapter Kickstarter
We're reaching the end of the semester, so we should work on getting the chapter packet done so we can send it to new chapters for the fall.

OpenDocument Format Alliance
What do you think? Shall we join?

Sparky Awards
How can we promote the contest and help chapters encourage people to submit videos in the coming months?

New Business
What didn't we get to cover this meeting that should be placed on the agenda for next meeting? (This is a good way to make these agendas more participatory.)
