  • Report back from last post-media meeting.

  • 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

  • #69: info@occupyboston.org
    • worksforme: we're not responsible for forming groups to take care of info emails
  • #77: other info@occupyboston.org
