The only other national student org I've had contact with went through this, and are quite strong because of it. 22:20:32 	I dunno if these are in order of priority, but yeah. 22:20:33 <Sparragus>	Well, regarding on #1 bullet 4 (too few chapters are ever started....) At Puerto Rico the movement seems to be growing quicker than we expected. We just found out that the CC license was written for our Jurisdiction on another campus from the University system. This caught us by surprise. Therefore, we are looking forward of spreading the voice and help build new chapters around. 22:20:45 	Gavin thinks these are in order of priority, but we don't have to agree 22:21:07 	Institutional strength ought to be a priority, but thats advice from the outside... I'm still in the process of getting the Berkeley chapter organized. 22:21:12 	I guess my question is--is it the Core Team's job to work on incorporation/501(c)3? 22:21:26 	It seems like the Board has asserted responsibility for that... 22:21:46 	mllerustad: well, the Board hasn't delegated any responsibility to us, but the Core Team shouldn't wait for the Board to tell it to do things 22:21:49 	I could see us maybe having a role in writing grant proposals and such, but incorporation is so structural it would at the least need Board approval, I think. 22:22:07 	the Core Team directly represents the chapters, so if it sees a need to take action it should feel free to unless the Board vetos it 22:22:12 	skyfaller: perhaps not 22:22:14 	and it involves writing charters and such 22:22:44 	but I think I agree with others that the first would be communication/volunteerism/chapter growth. 22:22:51 	I mean, those other steps are really mostly means to that end. 22:22:57 	the Core Team doesn't officially exist until our second meeting, but after that the Core Team should feel free to make binding decisions, I think 22:23:31 	mllerustad: the reason that Gavin prioritized incorporation and hiring a Coordinator is that a good Coordinator could help a lot with communication 22:23:37 	and just about everything else 22:23:46 	BTW I'm willing to help with forming the non-profit if anyone needs it. I've always wanted to learn the process of doing something like that. 22:23:48 	skyfaller: sure, but we need communication/etc. to have the resources to hire a coordinator :p 22:23:56 	mllerustad: fair enough :) 22:24:05 	sorbix: thanks for the volunteering :) 22:24:18 	Maybe a better way to phrase this would be: where do we want to be in May? 22:24:38 	Obviously the Core Team's gonna be around long after that, but speaking just for this semester, what do people think we can and should get accomplished? 22:26:00 	(this may partially be moving from goals to specific projects, given the time scale involved) 22:27:10 	I think that interchapter communication is a good thing to focus on, but I think we should also try to support the Board in incorporation + 501(c)3 and all that 22:27:22 	and make sure that they are moving forward on that 22:27:42 	you have to hold your elected representatives accountable and make sure they're doing what you want ;-) 22:27:47 	Sure, I'd just like to have them tell us what to do on that, to some extent. I don't know any lawyers who might help, for instance. Elizabeth and Fred may. 22:27:54 	we've touched on ideas for systems where chapters check in with national after/during events 22:28:04 	so that other chapters don't have to re-invent the wheel 22:28:06 	skyfaller, are you planning on working on incorporation or who would be the one focusing on that? 22:28:14 	and also so that others can see what they're doing and be inspired 22:28:28 <Sparragus>	I've been visiting chapters blogs, and most of them seem dead. Dead chapters mean inactivity. Perhaps a list of suggested activities for each chapter should be written. This would be great for new chapter, which perhaps may have a hard time establishing themselves in their university. This will also bring the need to increase chapters communications. 22:28:34 	One goal I would have would be having a basic activist packet/"how to start a chapter" kit organized and available so that new chapters can use it next fall 22:28:42 <Sparragus>	Exactly! 22:28:42 	Sparragus: yes, that is a definite thing that needs to happen 22:28:42 	i suppose we do this informally through the blog aggregation, formerly through discuss (until the NYU episode) 22:28:58 	pyrak: I think if we can get chapters to report back, that would give us a lot of springboards for new chapters to work on, and we could incorporate them into that packet 22:29:03 *	poningru has quit (Connection timed out) 22:29:10 	pyrak: no, we never promoted chapter events through discuss 22:29:30 *	tvol has quit 22:29:32 	So event ideas, sample flyers, basic "how to organize people" ideas, a Free Culture pamphlet... 22:29:40 *	gamerchick02 (n=gamerchi@adsl-75-21-187-161.dsl.sgnwmi.sbcglobal.net) has joined #freeculture 22:29:58 	pyrak, skyfaller: would that be the purpose of the chapters list, perhaps? 22:30:09 	one thing that I think would be REALLY valuable is a "free culture reporter", a person or group of people who go around and try to report on internal happenings 22:30:26 	rather than relying on the chapters entirely to self-report 22:30:28 	mllerustad, who would aggregate the information and make sure its *good* information? does FreeCulture have an advisor for that kind of thing? 22:30:29 *	gamerchick02 (n=gamerchi@adsl-75-21-187-161.dsl.sgnwmi.sbcglobal.net) has left #freeculture 22:30:29 	skyfaller: you're taking notes, correct? ;) 22:30:41 	some people are bad at self-reporting 22:30:47 	if there is an easy way to manage binary files like graphics for flyers to package etc easily that would be great, i definitely noticed that that can be difficult 22:30:50 	sorbix: the Volunteers Team! (us/other people who are interested) 22:30:51 	mllerustad: erm, lol, sort of.... I'll catch up on that 22:30:55 	skyfaller, neat idea 22:30:59 	re: reporter 22:31:03 <Sparragus>	A free culture pamphlet would be highly beneficial. Perhaps placing the manifesto in a well designed and attractive pamplhet would be a kick starter for a chapterfor them to promote themselves quickly. Quantity of members is important. The more members a chapter has the more motivated people are. 22:31:20 	grahl: yeah, we have a crappy "Fliers" page on the wiki, but fleshing that out with more examples in easily editable formats would be really handy 22:31:21 	Yeah... we should see if we could ask a couple people to volunteer to do that (be FC reporters). 22:31:31 	mllerustad, i think a good idea would be to try and get in contact with other national student organizations and share ideas like that. 22:31:58 	Sparragus: agreed! 22:32:24 	sorbix: Certainly on basic "how to be an activist" stuff... that's definitely something that's been missing from previous attempts 22:32:42 	But I do think that specific event suggestions/etc will have to be done ourselves. 22:32:43 	and they may have some interesting organizational ideas as well. 22:33:04 	in writing prop, it 22:33:18 	's also important to focus on specific examples 22:33:38 	pyrak: hm? 22:34:19 	ie: "hidden costs of sqitching to zune" instead of "DRM issue" 22:34:21 	i noticed that i personally am hesitant to post on the chapter blog except for our events, but i'd probably be better to address anything campus related, simply to increase visibility. other chapters might have the same reservations. 22:34:37 	pyrak: ah, yes :) 22:34:39 	of course mention the real vocab, but the specific examples need to be there for laypersons as "hooks" 22:35:17 	grahl: hmm... 22:35:30 	what if we had an informal competition to promote chapter blogging? 22:35:38 	like, the FC blog-a-thon? 22:35:39 	lol! 22:35:49 	hehe, neat 22:36:11 	just to get people used to writing on it and reading each other's stuff, and using them not just as advertising but for discussion 22:36:12 	i think i need to just hide my chapter's blog and go back to the wiki, which is less time-sensitive 22:36:17 	grahl: yeah, I think it would be good to encourage chapters to not only blog about events they are definitely going to do, but also things they are thinking of doing, and things they've already done (post-mortems would be useful for other chapters) 22:36:26 	is the goal of blogging for wide exposure to non-FC members, or to encourage inter-FC communication? 22:36:33 	pyrak: but then it's hard for people to receive updates of what you're doing 22:36:37 	sorbix: Some of both, really. 22:36:44 	pyrak: it's not convenient for people to dig through your wiki to hear about your operations 22:37:00 	It's for ourselves, for potential future chapter leaders, and for the broader public and advertising. 22:37:08 	many chapters also have announce lists 22:37:24 	pyrak: your wiki is for internal communications within your chapter, but the point is that we need to communicate more with other chapters and the outside world 22:37:41 	grahl: one thing we could do is automatically push blog posts to the chapter's announce lists 22:37:46 	so that you get both done in one go 22:37:57 	we already do that for the FC.o blog and the discuss list 22:38:02 	skyfaller: do we have the technical abilities to set that up for chapters? 22:38:12 	mllerustad: sure, someone would just have to actually do it :P 22:38:15 	skyfaller: and if so, on just blogs we host or other hosts as well? 22:38:22 	mllerustad: both 22:38:28 	skyfaller: right, this isn't a volunteer meeting (yet) 22:38:30 	just asking! 22:38:36 <Sparragus>	Personally, we blog about everything. Mainly to educate the academic community. Like Lessig for congress, open source news, CC licenses. We also blog about our events, but really, thats just minimal compared to free culture news 22:38:38 	mllerustad: obviously if your blog becomes inaccessible for some reason, then it won't work 22:38:54 	Sparragus: I think it's really important to blog about local chapter stuff on your local chapter blog 22:39:09 	Sparragus: I'd actually like to push people to blog about general free culture news on the global blog at FC.o 22:39:10 	skyfaller: automation would be great 22:39:16 	skyfaller: I dunno, I think local perspectives on national things are useful 22:39:26 	and people may or may not want to grab a national megaphone all the time 22:39:34 	mllerustad: agreed, and it's not really a huge difference where they blog stuff 22:39:42 	mllerustad: as long as it gets blogged, we'll see it either way 22:39:49 	Sparragus: just keep blogging! :) 22:39:51 <Sparragus>	We do, but we are not even a month old, so chapters news are minimal. 22:39:54 	mllerustad: but I generally want to encourage more activity on the global blog 22:40:06 <Sparragus>	We got a busy schedule ahead, so those post will start to come eventually. 22:40:17 	Sparragus: maybe what I meant to say is, if you like blogging, let me give you an account on the global blog :) 22:40:37 <Sparragus>	Sure :) 22:40:50 	skyfaller: Okay, so encouraging blogging locally and nationally to improve communication: should that be a semester goal?

22:41:04 *	Now talking on #freeculture 22:41:04 *	Topic for #freeculture is: Students for Free Culture | http://freeculture.org/ | http://wiki.freeculture.org/2008-02-25 22:41:04 *	Topic for #freeculture set by mllerustad at Mon Feb 25 22:01:35 2008 22:41:14 	mllerustad: yes 22:41:17 <Sparragus>	Yes 22:41:23 	skyfaller: Okay, write that down ;) 22:41:24 <Sparragus>	Perhaps a Podcast 22:41:31 <Sparragus>	Thatll be possibly better yet 22:41:33 	mllerustad: and I think the blog-a-thon would be a really interesting idea 22:41:52 	Sparragus: that would be more work than blogging I think 22:41:56 <Sparragus>	Free Culture Public Radio 22:42:00 	Sparragus: but it could very well be worth doing 22:42:05 <Sparragus>	Yes, but look at this. 22:42:11 <Sparragus>	Make like public radio 22:42:18 <Sparragus>	Each chapter does its own epsode 22:42:22 <Sparragus>	Uploads it 22:42:27 <Sparragus>	Goes thru approval 22:42:38 <Sparragus>	And if its worth it....it gets published 22:42:42 	:) 22:42:47 	i'd like to see more announcements about what companies, support free culture issues 22:42:47 <skyfaller_ppc>	hm... that does sound like fun :) 22:42:59 <Sparragus>	That way we can reach not just already existing chapters, but the whole internet 22:42:59 	I think that would be cool, but I dunno if we'd be able to do that this semester. 22:43:00 <skyfaller_ppc>	maybe if we have blogging success we can try the podcast? 22:43:06 <Sparragus>	an example is this... 22:43:07 	like, perhaps a blog post about "alternatives to itunes music store" that includes emusic, jamendo 22:43:19 <Sparragus>	http://hackerpublicradio.org/ 22:43:28 	First I want chapters to package up their events for other people to re-create :) 22:43:42 <skyfaller_ppc>	is there a good way to do a blog-a-thon? that might be a good thing to try before a podcast, which would be a more ambitious project 22:43:50 	pyrak: agreed 22:44:04 	pyrak: You can camp that topic for our theoretical blog-a-thon! ;) 22:44:11 	i don't know why my examples revolve around itunes tonight :/ 22:44:20 *	pyrak stakes a claim 22:44:23 	:) 22:44:26 <Sparragus>	he 22:44:31 	mllerustad: the "package" should specifically address which efforts didn't seem to help much for a particular event 22:44:44 	Something that pyrak brought up on the agenda that I'd like to mention here is overhauling/cleaning up the wiki. 22:44:49 	it would be great to be incorporated before an event like that so it might raise initial money for the organization. it might be a good incorporation party type thing :P 22:45:03 	We've got a decent amount of chapter resources on there, but they're scattered across many pages, many of which are orphaned 22:45:11 	if it were big, it might get a lot of attention 22:45:23 	If we could organize those and update them, that would be a great start to a FC activist packet. 22:45:44 	(sorry to jump back a few minutes) 22:45:45 	that brings up also the problem of information fragmentation between national and chapter wikis 22:45:56 	yo 22:46:05 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: howdy ^_^ 22:46:05 *	m3cr3d1s is back from FC @# NYU 22:46:21 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: glad you could join us 22:46:44 	HERE I AM 22:46:59 	I AM SPARTICUS 22:46:59 	also, re: wiki, notice the new skin :) if you're logged in, change your prefs or log out to see it 22:47:03 	oops wrong window 22:47:10 	lol 22:47:23 <Sparragus>	Who ever did the new skin, me like it. 22:47:26 *	mllerustad admires the skin 22:47:32 	the thinking is that now we can link to wiki pages in, say, blog posts, and visitors won't feel like they've stumbled into some scary back-end organizational site 22:47:35 <skyfaller_ppc>	Sparragus: pyrak did it!  give him the props 22:47:46 <skyfaller_ppc>	pyrak: but first it needs to be cleaned up :P 22:47:47 	*round of applause* 22:48:00 	why are we using FDL for our license on there? 22:48:03 <Sparragus>	Nice job! 22:48:06 <skyfaller_ppc>	grahl: I agree that info fragmentation btw/ chapter wikis and the global wiki is a problem 22:48:30 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: inertia, that's just what we've always used... no reason it couldn't be a CC-license, but I don't see a huge diff 22:48:39 	skyfaller_ppc: i also noticed differing google ranks between the wikis can cause confusion 22:48:54 	skyfaller_ppc: CC is more compatible / available in more languages / generally better for wikis 22:48:55 <skyfaller_ppc>	grahl: what do you mean? 22:49:06 	:) re: wiki skin pwning 22:49:13 	Okay, we've got like ten minutes left... I really want to keep this to an hour, so people interested in volunteering for projects can talk/volunteer afterwards. 22:49:25 	I'll makes ure to bring it up with the baord 22:49:37 	The last major issue on the agenda is the Core Team chair/vice-chair. 22:49:44 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: fair enough... the Board should talk about general guidelines for licensing at some point, draw up an official document 22:49:52 	Next meeting, at least a few of us will be eligible to vote for a chair and vice-chair. 22:49:53 	skyfaller_ppc: for example, the was a page on icarus on the national wiki (orphaned) but nobody could find it on the ffc wiki since that was way down in google's results 22:49:56 	it's in the bylaws 22:49:58 <Sparragus>	Im in for bloggin and helping to develop the "New Free Culture Chapter Kickstarter package" 22:50:18 	Basically, the chairs are responsible for organizing meetings, with the VC mostly responsible for taking minutes. 22:50:21 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: oh lol, that's right... we already executed my desires :) 22:50:38 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: wait, did we? 22:50:43 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: give me a cite 22:50:49 	I'm wondering who might be interested in being a chair, or at least getting that out there so we can elect Fearless Leaders next meeting :) 22:50:54 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: I think we didn't end up including that 22:51:08 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: we decided it would be better as a changeable board policy 22:51:15 	OK we'll get to it 22:51:30 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: b/c amending the bylaws every time a new version of the GPL comes out or something seems inefficient 22:51:38 	hey, skyfaller_ppc, m3cr3d1s, could we get back on track? :) 22:51:52 	No problem 22:51:59 	fyi new chapter pages are hanging around the wiki 22:52:00 	http://wiki.freeculture.org/Start_a_chapter 22:52:01 	I'm asking who might be interested in being the Core Team chair or vice-chair. 22:52:16 <skyfaller_ppc>	m3cr3d1s: yeah, but they're terrible, need to be thrown out and rewritten 22:52:26 	skyfaller_ppc : ... 22:52:39 	http://wiki.freeculture.org/MyChapter 22:52:53 	I'd be interested in chairing, but I wouldn't want to do it alone. 22:53:10 	Obviously people can think about it, they don't have to throw their hat in now. 22:53:17 	But I thought it would be worth thinking about. 22:53:27 	It's not a huge amount of responsibility, but it is important. 22:53:48 	If no one organizes meetings/sends out reminders, things won't get decided. If no one takes notes, no one knows *what* got decided. 22:54:06 <skyfaller_ppc>	if you're interested in chair/vice chair, think about it for next meeting 22:54:40 	:) 22:54:48 	skyfaller_ppc: how are minutes coming along? :) 22:55:25 <skyfaller_ppc>	mllerustad: I'm a little behind, about half way through the logs, but they'll be done at meeting's end 22:55:48 	Okay. 22:56:03 	Just want to have those visible in five minutes. 22:56:15 <skyfaller_ppc>	hm, one thing I want to do in future meetings is take collaborative minutes through Gobby, but we can discuss that another time.... it needs a good OS X version 22:56:44 	Then we can see if people want to volunteer for things related to those goals/projects... and what other things people are interested in doing 22:56:55 	But yeah. 22:57:08 	Any other questions/concerns/good jokes for these last couple minutes? 22:57:26 	i'm currently reading "getting things done" 22:57:33 	pyrak: good book :) 22:57:35 <skyfaller_ppc>	pyrak: w00t 22:57:43 	 could we get that custom wiki theme on the chapter wikis, too? 22:57:44 	and i'm thinking about how we ought to take our ideas and turn them from "stuff" to "actions" 22:57:44 <Sparragus>	Yes...I have an annoucement... 22:57:45 	i 22:57:55 <skyfaller_ppc>	pyrak: would you be interested in helping to test/develop our project management software? 22:58:08 <skyfaller_ppc>	pyrak: I've been working with Christina Ducruet on that off-and-on 22:58:10 	skyfaller_ppc, i was just going to suggest that we have some :P 22:58:27 <skyfaller_ppc>	pyrak: we just grabbed a basecamp account temporarily, but we need to work on a free software solution 22:58:37 	skyfaller_ppc, sure. 22:58:52 	grahl: perhaps! you'd have to ask pyrak and paulproteus I imagine, since they did the skin and the wiki farm... 22:58:58 <skyfaller_ppc>	pyrak: I'll give you access to Basecamp, so that you can compare it to the FOSS alternatives and use it until we get one installed 22:59:08 	skyfaller_ppc, kk 22:59:34 	Sparragus: you have an announcement? 23:00:06 <Sparragus>	Last Friday, the Law School of UPR-Rio Piedras released the CC Licenses for Puerto Rico. This is great news for us. It shows advance towards creating a free culture here. We were honored to have to great figures of CC International, Joi Ito, Chair of CC Int. and Katherina Morocke (I think its that) Director of CC Int. Check it out. http://creativecommons.org/international/pr/ 23:00:22 <skyfaller_ppc>	hooray! 23:00:28 	cool! 23:00:48 	skyfaller_ppc: could you send me the link to our Basecamp install again? 23:00:54 <skyfaller_ppc>	our int'l chapters should def work with CC... CC has a strong int'l org 23:01:04 	we need that to be more available.. 23:01:11 <skyfaller_ppc>	mllerustad: http://freeculture.projectpath.com/ 23:01:33 <skyfaller_ppc>	mllerustad: I'll give access to anyone who stays for the volunteers meeting and wants an account 23:01:34 <Sparragus>	Oh yes. And they know of SFC. I mentioned it to Joi and Katherina and they seem really happy that a Free Culture movement exists in PR. 23:01:53 <skyfaller_ppc>	yay! 23:02:12 <Sparragus>	So, we could dfinitely get support and many ways from CC Int if we try to. 23:02:25 <Sparragus>	in many ways* 23:02:55 <skyfaller_ppc>	... moving on? 23:02:56 	Sweet. :) 23:03:12 	Alright, I guess I declare the Core Team meeting adjourned, let's start the Volunteers meeting!
