Budget

Open questions for end of Q1:

  • Final total from University Tour (Jack)
  • The last of the events and CDs/DVDs (Max)
  • LinuxTag (Max)
  • South America (Max)
  • Harish's plane ticket for FUDCon (Harish)
  • Upcoming engineering travel that CommunityArchitecture is paying for that we want to fit into Q1? (Paul)
  • NOTE: THESE CONVERSATIONS AWAIT MAX'S RETURN ON THURSDAY.

India

Michael wants to set aside somewhere between $20-$25k for India for the rest of the year. MaxSpevack needs to get in touch with the principals in India and begin planning how we intend to use this money.

North American Events

PLEASE DISCUSS THIS ON MONDAY, AND LET'S FIGURE OUT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR NORTH AMERICAN EVENTS GOING FORWARD.

The open question here is, "what does it mean to own an event?"

Jack maintains that the events are too different for a one-size-fits-all approach, and we're there for logistics support and budgetary support.

Paul thinks there are a few common items. Money. Schwag. Banner and event box. Maybe we should have a list of checkboxes for each event. We should put together a checkbox list of "what it means to own an event" in coordination with the ambassadors. Jack will start this conversation on-list.

Greg thinks that we need to have clearer goals for the events, with an explicit goal of joining people to the community. It may be useful to measure events by counting new accounts per event. Greg will drive this conversation on list.

Mailing Lists

ARE WE GETTING SUFFICIENT COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURE PARTICIPATION ON KEY MAILING LISTS?

  • Max has been taking a leadership role in Ambassadors, FAMSCo, and Websites, with a secondary role on Marketing.

  • Setting up a mailing list for the curriculum advisory board, and looking to recruit initial members (Oregon State, Syracuse, etc.)
  • Talking with Syracuse to put together a cross-disciplinary studio-type class with legal, business, engineering folks to build open source projects.
  • Start the conversation about Events checklists per our events discussion.
  • Harish
  • Still needs an answer on whether he's coming to FUDCon Boston or FUDCon Europe.
  • Next steps for LCA: they need lots of details from us. How many rooms and so forth. Working with Eugene Teo to figure this out. We are essentially looking to make a FUDCon happen. Event needs to be put on Event page and a signup page needs to go up. Deadlines are in August, so we've got some time to work this out.
