In leading up to next week's general meeting, I want to make it clear that
we are in a critical momentum phase right now - and we need all kinds of
help in many different areas!
If you've been wanting to plug in but aren't sure how you can be useful,
drop me a line and let's chat. You can also check out the wiki page I set
up tonight that details some of our ToDos in areas ranging from community
outreach to operational strategy to marketing/branding to technical stuff
and beyond!

^ Feel free to add things, add your name to things, and come participate in
next week's meeting :)
Mesh the planet!!

Hey mesh crew!
We've been discussing a different format to maximize productivity and
reduce confusion for core crew and new folks respectively. For starters,
meetings will now begin at 7:30pm, and seem to be ending between 10:30 and
2am (though folks can show up and leave whenever). Every *LAST THURSDAY*
will be a general meeting to orient people new to the project, strategize
and plan for the coming weeks:
*Work Meeting / Hacknight Format* [not relegated to technical work alone!
we need to hack community, politics, the planet writ large!]
1. Go around checking in on what each person's gotten done since the last
hacknight, what they're stuck on or need help with, and what they're aiming
to work on tonight.
2. Hack on each of our independent tasks, or split up into pairs / small
working groups as needed.
3. Brief check-in before leaving on what's been accomplished that night and
make sure everything's been documented on the wiki.
*General Meeting Format*
1. Introductions of all present [20 mins]
2. Introduction of the group's mission/vision, current progress and future
goals [20 mins]
3. Q&A [20 mins]
4. Breakout groups as needed by area of interest - eg; community outreach,
technical firmware, branding/marketing
Next week is a general meeting! We will be meeting, most likely, in the
Public School room (attached to common space).
Mesh the planet!!
