Minutes

There were a couple of questions about the meeting today. For the record: There is always a meeting each week. It must be actively rescheduled for it to happen at a different time.

Struggling Chapters

 * Things to help clubs get started
 * Guest Speakers/Events
 * Usually requires an organizational sponsor.
 * Talk to librarians
 * Can help find people that will help you
 * Can help distribute free culture books and propaganda
 * Get support for open access from the library
 * Can be beneficial for budgeting, many librarians are already in favor
 * Get professors in open access journals

Site Downtime
It seems to have been caused by a bug in one of the blogs, but is fixed now.

Things we still need to do

 * The Activist Packet
 * FAQ
