June 22nd Event

• Jeremy: It's like the presentation I gave at the gathering, but a whole event focused on that technology.
• Kendra: It will probably wind up being a debate on electoral politics.
• Brandon: What left do we have to do to make this happen?
  • Kendra: I already made reservations for e5. There's a draft of a press release, which I'll incorporate some edits and then send it out.
  • Eden: I can put it on the calendar.
• Jeremy: The structure I was thinking was an initial meet & greet around some kind of food. I'm going to tweak the presentation I gave and give that again, then I'm going to show some things like ALEC to show what we're up against.
  • The next part will be conversations, and maybe we should break people up and do something lightly facilitated.
  • Open Space
    • The open space should have a theme, like "technology and democratic inclusion"
• Jeremy: I can purchase materials beforehand.
• Eden: Is your goal to get people to use your web tool?
  • Jeremy: My goal is to create a tool that people want to use.

  • 15 Min Meet & Greet
  • 30 Min Presentation
  • 15 Questions
  • 5 Minutes Open Space Introduction
• [Kendra reads the press release]
• Eden: Do we want money for food?
  • We can always purchase it ourselves
  • Kendra: I'll email Greg
• Brandon: I think we should write a blog post and put it on the website.
