2010.02.23 14:00 - Working Group Meeting

Pema proposes the following agenda:

0) Reminder:

      Lodging has been found for the April San Francisco retreat: the
      Kabuki and Tomo hotels, near Japan town.

 

1) Fundraising and Donations Listing

      Quick update of donations; have regularly scheduled payment
      options been explored/installed?  What about installing a tip jar?
      Adams' suggestion of a switch in priorities of funding between SL
      and RL part of PaB.

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 we stand with respect to the San Francisco "urban retreat"

 

5) Kira Team Connection

     We can continue our email discussion about the connection
     between PaB and the Kira Team.

 

6) Mentor System

     Stevenaia has volunteered to help coordinate a new mentor system.
     Let us briefly discuss how to implement this.

 

7) Village Pub

     Clearly, the Village Pub is a great success.  Let's briefly discuss

     what activities could be held there, and when/how.

 

8) 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.

9) 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.
