Reclaim your DNA and Modern Liberty

ACTION: Tim, Rowan and David offer to help

ORG on social networks

Useful discussion, out of which some actions arose

  • Need to make the 'donate now' links more obvious, although frankly don't expect much to come from this source, which is more about raising awareness of issues.
  • Develop an app based on Sam'd dataloss tool
  • Bebo: produce summaries of the issues most relevant to this audience

Xmas party

There will be no karaoke. There will be Copyfighters and a raffle. There could be some kind of games rig.

Supporter update

Useful discussion, broadly confirming it does its job. Should add would a 'meet the volunteers' section, which briefly introduces an individual and their project.

Volunteer strategy

ACTION: Michael to make better use of trac to log and monitor suggested and ongoing projects. Also, experiment more with appointing project coordinators.

Next meeting

Not discussed but Michael suggests 15 or 22 January
