#'''We've started out by going around, introducing ourselves, what we do, and sharing about what we see the role of media as'''
 ''' II Twitter Meeting - Joshua'''
#'''The password was changed for the main twitter account, which prompted a meeting to discuss the use of the twitter'''
#'''A few people now act as admins'''
##'''If people are not an admin and would like to be, they should talk to someone who is an admin'''
##'''There's also an email-to-twitter system'''
##'''There's also a twitter-to-twitter system being worked on that will create greater accountability'''
#'''We also held a twitter training program for folks to use the email-to-twitter system'''
#'''We also discussed best practices for using the @occupy_boston twitter account'''
##'''No livetweeting, unless there's an emergency. Instead, the account can be used to redirect to others who are livestreaming or retweeting'''
##'''Use for retweeting working groups'''
##'''Use for occasional "personality" tweets'''
#'''Discussion about twitter use:'''
##'''Q: Can't twitter use just be automated - can't all WGs have access to the twitter?'''
###'''A: No, not with the current system. Not everything should be RT'd, because there will be lots of followers lost. We need to be strategic about our use of social media.'''
##'''Q: So there will be instructions mailed out about accessing twitter?'''
###'''A: Yes; they'll be mailed out to the media list, and could be posted on the wiki'''
 ''' III OBIT/Tech Meeting - John and Eli'''
#'''Website issues - site has failed over past 6 weeks'''
##'''OBIT demonstrated that they're making deliberate systems choices'''
###'''They still need to work out bugs'''
##'''Better procedure for reporting bugs'''
###'''A ticketing system has been developed! (support.occupyboston.org)'''
#'''We have a few people who are direct liaisons between the two groups'''
#'''We learned that there are political implications of tech decisions'''
##'''And now there are no more crashes! (?)'''
#'''We may discuss moving our own meetings so people are able to attend both Media and OBIT meetings'''
##'''POI, a Doodle was sent to figure out a good day for new meetings'''
###'''It will be sent again tonight'''
#'''OBIT is also getting more involved in twitter'''
#'''OBIT and Media may host a joint community gathering in late March about political implications of tech and how our tech reflects our values'''
 ''' IV: OBTV - Matthew'''
#'''Three tapings'''
##'''Traditional interview (20 minutes)'''
###'''Interviewees have included members of MA legislature, homeless occupiers'''
#'''Listed on pegmedia!'''
#'''Will also start doing investigative journalism in conjunction with Occupier'''
#'''Another initiative: Arts for the 99%'''
#'''Occupy News Network is another “TV” group associated with OB'''
##'''They’ll be meeting later on to coordinate a bit more'''
 ''' V: Social Media Branding - Joshua'''
#'''We should have more consistency across twitter, Facebook, website in terms of appearance'''
##'''For example, we should have consistent "taglines," like "we are the wicked pissah 99%"'''
##'''The person who made the website header may also be able to make a twitter and Facebook template / icons so we're consistency'''
#'''Discussion:'''
##'''Consistency:'''
###'''Mixed feelings'''
###'''Perhaps should invoke regionalism?'''
##'''Wicked pissah'''
###'''Not family friendly'''
###'''Doesn't appeal to some readers, such as blog readers'''
##'''We should: Look at what other occupations are doing'''
##'''Mainly have consistency across design and appearance, though, except for special cases (such as Sink, SOPA, etc.)'''
#'''While there's no consensus, we'll start to develop'''
 ''' VI: Listservs'''
#'''People are having trouble joining listservs such as community forum'''
#'''Not user friendly'''

 ''' VIII Questions from Jess about Media Structure, Funding, etc.'''
#'''Media has independent funder - can we talk about that?'''
##'''Earmarked funding is possible according to the way we've structured things from FAWG'''
