Minutes

1. Elections
   • Sven - Chairman
   • Crawford - Vice Chairman
   • Oliver - Treasurer
2. Review of membership
   • Anyone not paid in 2011 is dropped for 2012, and the 4 members reviewed at general assembly added for 2012.
   • 2012 renew due technically 1st of Jan, but practically needed by end of 2012.
3. Financial review
   • Membership for one non-member refunded.
   • Payment of outstanding receivables - reconcile between personal account and foswiki accounts.
   • What should we spend on?
     • pay sites for press releases? (MichaelDaum) - probably not.- Too many unknowns now. Expensive, and unknown return.
     • What about purchase of facebook or google advertisements.
     • Banner and handouts for FoswikiCeBIT2012 booth?
     • Blog for suggestions
4. Foswiki Camp
   • No plans right now.
   • Consider a video hangout.
   • Why was last successful. Broke up into small teams - paired programming. Would a large group work?
   • Virtual camp probably more difficult - but worth a try.
   • leverage the buzz of google hangout.
   • use for webinars like tiki community?
   • Worth a try.
   • upcoming feature to record a hangout?

• Micro-blogging - need to report small accomplishments
• Similar to the Extensions news - but cover other work.
• Feed news into twitter, aggregate feeds into major blog like perl weekly.

Sven: ok, as Chairman, I resolve to increase our leverage of in wiki microblogging, and then aggregate that into a regular mail/blog/whatever

• Bring back original t* chat concept.
• Foswiki monthly
• FoswikiBot - add a trigger to feed Microblog on F.O, and then F.O feeds Twitter, etc. Possibly immediatenotify plugin. *
