2010.02.02 14:00 - Working Group Meeting

Pema proposes the following agenda:

0) Reminder:

      No major decisions were made by email since the last meeting.

 

1) Fundraising and Donations Listing

      Quick update of donations; have regularly scheduled payment
      options been explored/installed?  Time for a new donations drive?

2) New Guardians

      Quick review of possible new guardian candidates.

 

3) PaB Wiki Overhaul

     Quick check: where do we stand with wiki backup; how about
     the long awaited overhaul? .

 

4) April RL Retreat

     Where do we stand with respect to our planned "urban retreat"?

 

5) Kira Team Connection

     We can continue our email discussion about the connection
     between PaB and the Kira Team, including Kira Japan developments.

 

6) Village Pub

     Clearly, the Village Pub is a great success.  Let's briefly discuss
     what activities could be held there, and when/how.

 

7) Full Sweep through guardian names

     The suggestion has been made to do a full sweep through the whole
     guardian lists, to check who are no longer actively involved, and remove
     those who are no longer interested or simply don't respond to email/IMs.

8) PaB Handbook

      Let us discuss the proposal by Pema to write a "PaB Handbook"
      which lists all the current PaB activities and the way they are
      divided into tasks, including meta-tasks involving coordination
      of tasks, and sometimes even coordination of coordination.
      For each of these tasks, the Handbook will contain a detailed
      description of what the task entails, and summaries of the
      experience we have built up so far in dealing with that task.
      Ideally, this handbook should allow a new person to take over
      an existing task without the previous person having to spend
      a large amount of time training the new person.  The Handbook
      will function as a repository of accumulated PaB organizational
      experience.
