Computer for Radio

New Media Lists

• Report back from last post-media meeting.
• Media Bubbles: Livestream, blogging, twitter, facebook, cel.ly
• 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
  • We'll close #73 and superceed it with #44
• #28: Livestream Aggregation:

• #69: info@occupyboston.org
  • worksforme: we're not responsible for forming groups to take care of info emails
• #77: other info@occupyboston.org
  • wontfix: because the email goes to a single individual we're not going to publish it on the blog as info for all ob.
• #58: trac captcha doesn't work
  • closed since we now require authentication to open new tickets
• #65: enable comments on GA page on wordpress
  • pinged Matt H. on this.
