Meeting
The board has been discussing the idea of getting people together for a face-to-face meeting to establish, and work on, priorities. A meetup / workshop needs clear goals. If we could set them, this could be a really useful occasion.
When and Where
June 11th and 12th at the Autodesk San Rafael offices.
This is just preceeding the Where 2.0 conference June 13/14 in San Jose which is relatively nearby. (According to Google, San Rafael to San Jose is 67 miles / 74 minutes.)
Attendees
Board members and committee members of VisCom, WebCom and the Fundraising committees are encouraged to attend.
- Frank Warmerdam will attend.
- mpg could attend as a VisCom person (I will be at Where 13th-14th, unless I have to be at the OWS kickoff 13th-16th)
- Arnulf Christl will attend
- Jo Walsh will attend
- Dave McIlhagga will attend - likely arrive Sunday AM
- Gary Lang will attend
- Tyler Mitchell will attend (also from VisCom)
- please add availability for other people
