- Physical: Michael, Becky, Adam, Glyn, Chris, Sheila, Anon, Matthew, Chris, Gianluca and Dot
- IRC: Dynamo Ace and Joss Wright
[edit] Update of actions from last meeting
- Thanks to Chris for HTMLing the RTM briefing pack. Anyone want to do the same for the (much longer) elections report? And should these documents also be on the wiki?
- Great work Sheila and Harry for their stewardship of the ORG Upcoming group
- F1000 widget (PKA Badgr) is looking good and is a separate item below
- Data-loss widget has come slowly but surely; on course to launch in Feb supporters update
- MJP's (excellent and echoed) suggestion for closer integration with MySoc tools: yet to progress because development capacity at max
- Task ticketing database: on-hold until its main sponsor, Ms Suw Charman, returns from her honeymoon
- 'Chug for ORG' - GLyn's off to a PHP conference this Friday and we're plotting to be at Linux World expo and a couple more such conferences this year. Watch this space (and if anyone is really keen to recruit unsuspecting geeks to the cause then just say so)
- CSS for new 'issues' page: Sheila hopes to complete by next week
- Creative Biz: we still need more people to share their links to free and open culture audio / video / literature works with our project wiki. Chris is pushing on with preparing the course materials. (Dynamo Ace expressed interest; Michael to follow up)
- ORG / Moo stickers: Michael to ask Stef (Moo chieftain who sits on our Advisory Council) about whether we can use to raise income
[edit] Badgr (F1000 badge) update
http://orgwidgets.odegy.net/founding1000/badgr/ca7a47
- Contrary to rumours circulating on org-tech the badgr is not on hold until new CRM software is complete, so Chris and Chris should proceed apace.
[edit] Term extension campaign brainstorm
New campaign site soon to be launched at http://www.soundcopyright.eu. Includes blog to promote cross-European actions, petition and French / German translations. Useful suggestions for campaign ideas from brainstorm include:
- Contacting Lab / Con / LD MEP IP specialist, who will set policy for all to follow
- Gianluca to pursue Italian translations and involvement
- (More to follow; my notes are elsewhere)
[edit] Barcamp Hack brainstorm
The good people at Brighton Barcamp have offered to 'Hack for ORG' at their Barcamp hack March unconference. Any suggestions?
- Generally agree that better to give them ideas of our current campaigns rather than specify objections, which should spark their creativity to fill the gaps in our tools and services.
[edit] Helper for CBDE seminar
- Chris Mear to help on Monday 17
- Michael to resend email for Felix and Matthew to specify which of Tuesday 18 and Wednesday 19 they can do
[edit] Wikifying ORG consultation submissions
- Michael to follow up with anonymous volunteer
[edit] General Wiki work
- Thanks to Joss and Dot for agreeing to put in some graft here. Please ask Michael and Glyn if you need direction.
[edit] Tell them what you think logo
http://www.tellthemwhatyouthink.org/
- Matthew Petty and Chris Mear's business partner (not-present!) agree to work on a logo. Harry to follow up.
- All are prompted to use and abuse this splendid new open-guv tool
[edit] News blog
- As suggested by Harry, we should have a blog specified to publicising the many stories that appear on org-discuss. Sheila agrees to work on this in the next week or two.

Next meeting will be Thursday 3 April at more usual time of 1830
