Attending: Brandon, Dana, Eden, Kendra, Steve

Server/Package Upgrades
Brandon: several security upgrades for attucks. 8 or 9 package upgrades. In addition, Mayfirst will perform a kernel upgrade on attuck's parent host. acpid, basefiles, libapr, libxi, initscripts, libc-dev, openssh, python, sysvinit, tzdata, and others. Will apply upgrades shortly before Mayfirst does kernel upgrades.

Affects www and v2dev (not wiki, old groups, emails).

Drupal work
Dana looking at taking css from occupyboston.org, and converting to Drupal 7. Goal: home page of v2dev.groups.occupyboston.org should look occupyboston.org. Also planning to build wireframes for groups function in v2dev. Would be great if we could get something together in the next month.

Turning off Mobile Theme on Wordpress
The mobile theme has been problematic; it's been broken and it stays broken. Brandon disables WP Touch plugin.

Scheduling of Sunday OBIT Meetings
We'd like to change our meeting time, to prevent overlap with SAA. We can meet before SAA, after SAA, or on a different day.

Proposed: 3pm on Sundays. Agreed -- 3pm Sunday, effective next week.

Location: There's a Starbucks on Huntington end of the prudential center. We'll meet there, so it will only be a short walk to SAA. (Should remind list of this, and clarify meeting location on list.)
