Discussion

1. Meeting Frequency
   • Doodle poll responsibilities
   • Facilitator rotation
   • Meetings per month: just one (4 in support)
     • More sustainable
     • Easier to schedule
     • Important to work asynchronously
     • May bring back less active members
     • Challenge to make people proactive
2. Discussion: do we need roles (chair, vice-chair, etc.)
   • We need task owners based on means/ends
   • Need clear to-do's from meetings
   • Hard to have a single leader for workload reasons
   • Inaction possibly a result of not having poll results yet
3. Means and Ends Poll update
   • Books & Bytes
   • Analyze poll results
4. Wikimania
   • Librarians 101 preconference
   • Book Swapping
     • Need to announce soon and broadly
     • W + L Community Booth requested
     • Could make basic stickers for preconference and Wikimania
       • Need URL (but bit.ly is fine), can get domain name later with logo and tagline
       • Better to just have a handout
   • User Group Meetup Lunch
   • Session guidance
   • Who is attending?
     • Need a report back from WM attendees
