Meetings

Notes taken by Michael Wolk

Attendence

 * Nelson
 * Elizabeth
 * Mike
 * Andy
 * Ben

Graduating Members
What can be done to keep graduating members involved? We are a student movement but we should have some kind of network and designated roles for Alumni.

Sustaining existing chapters should also be the focus of Alumn and the overall organization. We depend on local chapters and they must continue to thrive.

Summer Connections

 * Elizabeth has sent out an email and will attempt to aggregate information about the location of members in hope of connecting them. This type of information should be gathered in the future so we can be more effective.

Intel and trust

 * What is the technology?
 * Is it "evil?"

Mike and Fred will look into the trusted computer architecture to help evaluate our stance on the issue. While this is huge, we must also look at the other important areas for the organization.

Activist Packet
The activist packet will be discussed in next weeks call. The goal should be to move it from the wki into a more formal format. The wiki can continue to be the source of the content but we must look into ways to make the information available to the public.

Website
Abhay may be able to work as the webmaster if he has the time. The site needs an about page as well as FAQ. Perhaps this will be the same thing. It would be very nice if the site and packet were branded the same way to add a great deal of professionalism to the information.

Final Words
Next conference call is on Wednesday at 10:00 PM EST. The focus will be on the Activist Packet/Website

The packet may be finished more effectively if we can connect members who are working in the same city or area. These individuals could work together and be theoretically more effective.
