New page

= OBIT Meeting Notes (10 June 2012)=

Attending: Eden, Kendra, Steve.

== Boston Pride ==

We began the meeting by looking at pictures from yesterday's Pride
parade, via Mass Pirates twitter feed:
https://twitter.com/#!/masspirates. Cute wagon.

== mailman footer (ticket 85) ==

People have been getting "someone attempted to unsubscribe you from
MMM" messages, where MMM is a @lists.occupyboston.org mailing list.
We suspect that these come from person A clicking on Person B's
unsubscribe link. Regardless, this has been a source of confusion and
concern to people who've gotten these messages.

We can change footers (per mailing list). For example, bank-action
removed user-specific unsubscribe URLs from their message footer.

Would it be worth removing user-specific unsub links from some of the
high-traffic mailing lists, like community_forum? Or, should we leave
it to individual list owners?

TODO: Can change we the text of unsub confirmation messages? (i.e.,
to include language like "don't panic -- someone may have accidentally
clicked on your unsubscribe link by mistake).

== email setup tickets (74, 82, 86) ==

Someone with MF/PL control panel access will need to look at these.

== wordpress dev -> production promotion ==

Discussion tabled for now.

== forums/v2dev ==

Forums may be a replacement for mailing lists, in some cases. Mailing
lists are good where discussions happen among a relatively fixed set
of participants. Forums are more topic based; it's easier for them to
accomodate a changing list of participants. Provide both options, and
let people vote with their feet.

Community forum: might be more valuable if archives were open to the
public? Let's ask the community forum, and see what they think.

Discussion about promoting v2dev.groups.occupyboston.org ->
groups.occupyoccupyboston.org. We need another development iteration
(perhaps including the migration of existing groups.occupyboston.org
content).

== Other ==

In the past, we've talked about adding an educational component to
OBIT; teaching people how to use our different web tools, how to set
up thunderbird, how to set up PGP, etc.

We've had two educational sessions in the past: one for wiki, and one
for for mail encryption. Zero to no attendance at both. Would better
promotion have produced better attendance?

Should we start doing regular monthly workshops, and promoting the
heck out of them?

Alternate proposal: we have two obit meetings/week. What about making
one of them a hands-on/training session. Agenda would be driven by
who showed up, and what they asked for help with.

Should we put OBIT meetings on the OB Calendar?
