This is one of many web team meetings.

Agenda

 * Free Culture Labs - What does it require? Can it be done?  I think it needs a Wordpress blog, which means I want Wordpress Mu because I don't want to have to maintain a gazillion separate Wordpress blogs, one is enough of a pain.
 * How to get more people involved with the webteam / making it easier for those interested to get involved.


 * Overhauling the website!!! - I can't stress this enough. Our website is ugly.  Our content is outdated.  It's time we fixed this!


 * no www - remove www from URLs across the website
 * Asheesh discusses his new server
 * Discuss calendar sharing
 * Redesign


 * Meta to-do...

Attendance

 * skyfaller (Nelson)
 * Fear_of_C_ (Nick)
 * paulproteus (Asheesh)
 * teh_parkerer (Parker)
 * klepas (Pascal)
 * mllerustad (Karen)

Decisions

 * We like Free Culture Labs, and we want to make sure it is run by someone in an FC.o chapter so that it can live on
 * Fear_of_C_ will take the reins on Free Culture Labs, making a wiki page for it and a blog post to gather feedback
 * once that's done, we'll see what sort of tech it needs


 * Remarks on the new design at http://www.matthewv.id.au/freeculture.org.new/:
 * menu bar on top is cut off
 * 4 piece organization makes sense given the web site's goals and since each chapter has its own web site
 * change this: you've got #header { z-index: 10 }


 * Leafyhost ate our mailing list data. Those punks.
 * Asheesh will do his best to recover lists based on public archives on e.g. gmane.


 * Karen will help migrate the Mudbag apps to Django


 * Parker will work on building a site map on a wiki page


 * Asheesh will keep working on Japan move and examine unc.fc.o problems


 * No one offered calendar files they wanted to share.
