WHEN by Time Zone:
MEETING GOALS:
- As this is our first meeting, the main goal is to set evangelism meetings on track.
AGENDA:
- Introductions (5 minutes) - Who's on the call? Who will take notes?
- Logo competition (10 minutes)
- Blogging [brady] (5 minutes)
- 'Interviews' with key people both within DP and outside on why they are involved, what they would like to see out of it etc. [daniela]- could be a common blog post
- Message calendar and talking points (2 minutes)
- The idea of a Message Calendar might be familiar to you if you've watched The West Wing television show. It's a memetic engineering tool. It builds ideas in a series over time, pegging broad themes to detailed talking points. By choosing, to a degree, what you want to talk about, you help drive a topic across multiple communication channels and many conversations.
- Phil will be starting a page and a thread to help plan the next two to three months.
- Media Rapid Response (5 minutes)
- What can we learn from political campaigns about rapid response to mainstream media and social media reporting good or bad or inaccurate news/opinion about data portability and DP.org?
- Tech of the month program - Phil (5 minutes)
- We'll be launching a "DP hack of the month club." (alternative to "hack", please.) It will feature something small a site operator or application developer can do to move a little bit closer to data portability.
- David Recordon (SixApart) and the Tech.AG will put together the list.
- Scope:
- To: promote a series of DIY technology projects supporting data portability today
- In a way that:
- Requires minimal effort, perhaps less than one person day to implement
- Produces immediate benefit for the implementor
- Introduces a best practice without overwhelming budgets or staff
- DP.dev supports with a prepared mini-cluster of wiki/mailing list/irc for supporting the developer
- DP.ev supports with a prepared mini-business case
- Lists and acknowledges participants
- So that:
- DP.org promotes existing technologies (fulfilling its mission)
- DP.org demonstrates technology leadership
- DP.org makes the point that dp need not be a big bang or boil-the-ocean effort
- DP.org attracts technologists and developers into its community
- Media - wiki, website, external (5 minutes)
- Preparation for the Video Contest, ending Monday (5 minutes)
- Recap - What was said, promised, and follow up action? (5 minutes)
PRE-WORK:
- Take deep breathes

Meeting Minutes:
A. Blogging
Brady is a no-show
No-Op
>> moved on without him, see later

Phil is busy (at the dentist, listening while they dug in his mouth)
Tabled to later
C. Tech of the Month
Phil is busy
Tabled to later
>> moved on without him, see later
D. Media Press Room Concept
Daniela
Sections of the Wiki as individual assets
Slide Decks could be linked to into SlideShare
Rather than creating a single deck, individuals can share slides.
E. Update on video project
Due to end this month
Not planning to extend further for Facebook
Approx. 15-20 videos received
Michael Pick plans to make composite video based on these - Daniela will liaise with Michael for an update
Add to agenda for next meeting to discuss PR around video pool and compositive video
F. Blogging
Possibility of a "DataPortability Project" official blog
Help share the load with a single multi-author DP blog
Rather than a forced daily blog, only post when big news hits (ala Creative Commons)
Follow a journalism interview style in a series of posts
Chris likes the current decentralised approach, Jacob likes "voice of dataportability" aspect of centralised blog, Triona likes idea of combination of both
Daniela will follow up with Brady who did not attend to see what the next step is (or isn't)
G. Focus on next steps:
Lab Projects
Message Calendar Concept (ie. preplan the weekly/monthly themes) - connect with top items in monthly report
Update key pages of the Wiki to effectively map the information and work on templates
H. Workflow proposal update
1. Chat/Meetups for real-time collaboration - but NO decisions medium to major decisions should be made here
2. Threads opened in an Action group (if the thread would belong to an initiative that does not exist yet) or Project Groups (if the thread directly related to an existing Project)
3. The thread should result (on the deadline set by the leader) in new or closed to do items AND/OR wiki tweaks AND/OR a new initiative
4. If your project does not update it's task/to do list AND the Timeline - then it will not get into weekly or monthly reports.
I. Tech of the Month
Focused on a single project - like a slice of the overall task
Cross-discipline in nature
Provide "dive in" possibilities for newcomers
Participation between developers and their companies
Could spin off into physical workshops
Facilitates outreach into other communities
Helps solidify work with existing tech partners (eg. Google, SixApart, Facebook, etc.)
