Proposed Agenda

Congratulations
Kendra's Article for the Occupier
Groups v2
- Feedback from forums
- Contact groups using v1
- Next Sprint
Reschedule next week's meetings
A1, A2, A4
- As it stands they fall on the 1st and the 4th, two big days of action.
Things to discuss with media
Tickets
- There are a bunch of old and open tickets to take care of.

Woohoo! We had an awesome community gathering.
A woman who had previously worked with the FSF is planning on following up with us later.
One woman said she was a graphic designer and would be willing to help. Brandon has her info.
A couple other people might want to help out with OBIT in the future.

Kendra: I wrote an overview on the gathering which I want to publish in the Occupier. I sent it to the OBIT list for people to look over. Try to do that in the next 48 hours.

POC is trying to get in touch with some of the community groups who might want to help with outreach/teach-ins.
- Kendra is in touch with them working to coordinate these events.
Ross: we should probably re-do the wiki thing, because of poor turnout.
We need to more outreach about these teach-in events.
The next target date for a teach-in is 8 April.
Ross: I'm not sure that having a scheduled training at a specific time is the best strategy for approaching this problem.
Brandon: I think scheduling trainings with particular working groups would be a good way to go about these teach-ins (ex. Wiki with Media). We can still invite others not in that WG to come.
Ross: It sounds like this is a lot of work and perhaps we're overextending ourselves. We need more people.
Ross: Maybe we also need to train ourselves with some skill-shares.
The groups votes to schedule a training with media to talk about wiki's specifically.
- Steve will take the action to discuss that with them.
Jeremy: we need to have a conversation what OBIT's strategy and consistent message.
When are we going to hold our internal skill-shares?
- Ross: I think it would be better if Wednesdays were work meetings where we could do a skill-share when we want.
- We voted on that and reached consensus.
- Wednesday April 18th we'll have a GPG skill-share during the meeting, starting at 6.

Wiki training
- It's already mostly planned, Steve just needs to schedule it.
Address the SFTP thing.
Everyone email list
Funders list
- They will soon want to send another email out.
Groups v2
Media suggested meeting on Saturday, we counter suggest the 11th.
- Dan Cheeno says that should be ok.

Dana: I made a new banner for groups, but I thought the design motif should be about groups rather than buildings.
Brandon: I think we should contact FSU and Safer Spaces, the most prominent users of groups v1.
We should create a custom theme (base-theme zen) that will allow us to start tackling the theme).
Etherpad Integration
- Not in this sprint
