Project Steering Group meetings are currently for Edmund and Paul, with occasional guests.

 

This page is to record reminders of which preparation to do in advance of the next meeting.  For example, which bits of the wiki (and other papers) to read.  This will often include reading the frequently updated front page of the wiki.


Agenda for next meeting:

Agenda items include:

  1. Date of next meeting.
  2. Decisions made at previous meeting - are they a correct record?
  3. Actions outstanding from last meeting.
  4. PC: Let's summarise our working relationship with Mark and a range of options/ information we might put to him in January 2010.
  5. EJ: Look at resizing of text via a link at the top of each page.
  6. PC: (For Information) Reporting back on meeting with accountant.
  7. PC: CSS Stylesheets from Web Developer.
  8. PC: Meeting with Stas and David. -The 'three yardsticks': i) Do we know each other well enough to have identified at least one way that we want to work with each other?; ii) Do we see each other more as collaborators or competitors?; iii) What else would help us co-exist?
  9. Anything of concern on the Wiki front page? (Read time 5min, discussion 5 min)
  10. Anything else to put on the agenda from Freelending CIC Private Business
  11. Freelender stories this week.
  12. EJ: Reduction of number of items on the agenda.  What is complete?  What is no longer relevant? What can be moved to one of the sub-groups? How about moving some items to a new section 'Possible future agenda items' ?  Proposal to do all this during the meeting.
  13. What next for freelender.org website, Freelending CIC and other projects? - the possibles that most determine the future of FL, then the probable changes, then the other possibilities and ideas.
  14. PC: Priority of whose feedback we are wanting (and where Paul puts his time -developing funders or users? Proposal that 1) annual report and joint 2nd funders / Networking relationship with potential user-base is key)
  15. Clarifying the aims of all the development groups
  16. How we work through phases of struggle and inspiration? (What works best to sustain us, and how we'd like to be seen?) PC: Proposal to introduce an additional 'Heart & Soul' monthly group, as transition towns often have, for working with the periods of despair in trying to attend to the issues of sustainability as we see them from our (insufficient) contribution.
  17. PC: Proposed new approach to Mark Boyle (who I've informed on Facebook about LetsAllShare) and proposed new first freelender request to Freeconomy members.
  18. PC: Sharing our Private Documentation with more people eg interested family members, Eric and Mark.
  19. PC: Offering to support Freeconomy structure/participation by inviting others to our (restructured) teleconferences. i.e. what kind of teleconferences can we invite others to?  Active recruitment of friends and family to our teleconferences -and changing the time to suit eg by using AgreeAdate.
  20. Anything else arising from the Development Groups (Networking Group, Marketing Group, Website Development Group, Community Conflict Transformation Group, Staff Recruitment and Induction Group or Fundraising Group)

Decisions Made

 

September 8th

 

  • Rename this group the Project Steering Group.
  • The freelender code will be open source.  It will be made open source after the first full release.
  • Paul's 'StuffManagement' and 'MatchPoint' ideas can form part of a bigger picture, of which freelender is a part.
  • A future campaign will target contacting lots of groups at once, so that people see freelender in several places in a short space of time. See Marketing Group for more detail.
  • Freelending CIC will not seek Data Protection registration, insurance, or other legal documentation at present.
