Computer for Radio

 * Brandon will talk with Rene about getting it to e5.

New Media Lists

 * Report back from last post-media meeting.
 * Media Bubbles: Livestream, blogging, twitter, facebook, cel.ly
 * What do we do with the 'media contact thing' on the website?
 * We should create a media-discuss and media-inquiry list

Everybody List

 * Logistics (Rene) is on board, as well as Anna from safer spaces, as well as Matt from facil.
 * Inreach and Media aren't really active any longer.
 * Brandon can be the rep from OBIT.
 * Our procedure probably doesn't have to go to GA.
 * How do we keep the everybody list updated?
 * Rebuilding the list would be convenient but wouldn't let people unsubscribe
 * We could keep people in the list but mark them as 'no mail'
 * Does mailman provide hooks?
 * We can have a 'cache' list of email addresses
 * We should create everybody-request with those people listed above
 * Brandon will do this
 * Those folks on everybody-request should have permissions to post messages to the actual everybody list

Tickets

 * #73: Varnish is serving cached copies of the mobile site.
 * We can probably move to a mobile subdomain (m.occupyboston.org). This also allows us to turn off user agent detection.
 * We'll temporarily turn off the mobile plugin until the issue is resolved.
 * #75: Top menu bar is broken
 * We can't reproduce it, so we're going to deprioritize this ticket.
 * #16: Wordpress User Management
 * The user permissions editor has been installed and we can deal with permissioning problems as they arise.
 * #17: Installing plugins from wordpress UI should be disabled.
 * We'll leave this open until it's been verified to be take care of.
 * #70: Cannot preview posts on wordpress
 * Problem with varnish, this has been fixed
 * #76: Tighten mediawiki caption using Asirra
 * We haven't had wiki spam in over a week, so changing this to feature request rather than bug.
 * Upgrading to a more recent version of media wiki is a good idea. Should create another ticket for that.
 * #52: Featured Action Bit for Wordpress
 * Deprioritizing for now because of media dissolution
 * #42: Dev environment for wordpress
 * Ross & Steve will work on this
 * #44: Fix mobile wordpress site
 * We'll close #73 and superceed it with #44
 * #28: Livestream Aggregation:
 * Wishlist
 * #43: Ridiculous Share Plugins
 * brandon will take this
 * #69: info@occupyboston.org
 * worksforme: we're not responsible for forming groups to take care of info emails
 * #77: other info@occupyboston.org
 * wontfix: because the email goes to a single individual we're not going to publish it on the blog as info for all ob.
 * #58: trac captcha doesn't work
 * closed since we now require authentication to open new tickets
 * #65: enable comments on GA page on wordpress
 * pinged Matt H. on this.

Groups

 * What's the current state of development?
 * Stalled.
 * Lot's of pressure to get CSS change committed to make it pretty.
