Hello everyone,

Here are my notes from last night's meeting. Please correct or adjust them as you see fit.

General

  • Budget: public already as a googledoc. Will be announced formally once sponsorship payments have been collected.
  • Video: Suzanne to secure vimeo account, Andrew to upload.
  • Next association meeting/meetup Thurs Oct. 20th, 6pm/6:30pm at Notman House. EW to book.

Suggestions For DrupalCamp 2012

  • ask for languages understood at sign-up
  • translate session descriptions ahead of voting
  • pay a content translator
  • advance payment
  • session voting
  • have a photographer
  • some one should be identified to lead promotion
  • more focus on the francophone community
  • more focus on the student community
  • more focus on NGOs
  • promote at PHP Quebec, CONFU, WordCamp, BarCamp, SATT
  • develop list of local companies using Drupal
  • bigger push for volunteers, translation included among volunteer tasks

Suggestions For Association Activities Outside of DrupalCamp

  • more effort in translation year round
  • monthly meetups/drupal drinks/trivia nights
  • 2 code sprints a year, 1 associated with camp
  • General assembly to be held sooner rather than later (after a couple of meetups to increase membership and community awareness)
