Meeting Agendas
Apr 25, 2007
Proposed Steps
- Maintain a mailing list for group organizers and another list for this committee, or share one list?
- How can we improve the findability of usergroups without writing software - PSF wants a non-software solution.
- How can we effectively audit the existing usergroups - I (Jeff) have started a spreadsheet and investigated some groups but it is slow, tedious work.
- As part of audit, we need to collect email addresses of organizers; not all group webpages have them, many only have a mailing list.
- Once we have an email list of group organizers, work up an official announcement to them:
- welcoming them to the organizers mailing list
- pointing them to the support kit
- Work up a general announcement inviting those who lack a usergroup near them to join the organizers mailing list and download the support kit
Need Help
- identifying good lecture videos
- rounding up reusable presentation materials
