== Calendar ==

What could we do to improve our calendar? We'd like to make it easy
for people to add events, but we also want some level of
accountability. (e.g., to prevent issues like the one surrounding the
S30 march; someone posted a facebook event about a march, but no one
seems to know who did it).

What about a form for submitting calendar form? There's already a
calendar event submission form on the website. It goes to
calendar@lists.occupyboston.org. Not sure who's currently on that
list. The form is
[http://www.occupyboston.org/calendar-event-submission-form/]

Dana posts a test event to the calendar submission form, to see who
from calendar list responds.

This is partially a human issue; we need people to keep on top of
listing events, and keeping the calendar up to date.

== Mailing list cleanup ==

We'd like to clean up some of our old mailing lists. Steve posted a
draft process here:
http://voices.occupyboston.org/forum/feedback/mailing-list-cleanup-proposal

Dana is interested in helping with some of this work.

== Hosting order cleanup ==

Since we mentioned cleaning up mailing lists, brandon suggested that
we clean up old hosting orders.

We have consensus that this would be a good idea.

Steve mentions that we need to look at mailing lists, addresses, and
web site before cancelling a hosting order. Nearly all of our mailing
lists are under `obmail', but a few lists were created under other
hosting orders.

== voices.occupyboston.org ==

People are using it. How can we improve adoption?

Retraining users can take a long time. We can always keep
evangelizing voices.

Is cross posting okay (e.g., facebook, voices, mailing lists)? Sure,
it's okay.

What about spam? There's not much spam on voices, and Drupal makes
this very easy to clean up spam posts.

Would be nice to have a way to tweet voices content. Or, to put a voices
RSS feed on occupyboston.org. These could be future projects.

== Future Meeting schedule ==

Steve wanted to talk about the schedule for future obit meetings, but
forgot to bring it up. I guess we'll talk about it on the mailing
list.
