The SRD meeting was productive. Here are some things that came up.
-OK, one, can someone post a definite way that people can join the yahoo group? There seems to be some confusion.
-Charter was voted on. Looks good and just needs to be copy edited. We were laughing about the fact that OMF used the work "foster" twice in the short document.
-Working on the website is next
-We decided on August for a media blitz and possible benefit/awareness raising show.
-We're meeting again in one week, same time and place.
-We had a couple of new people who were really knowledgeable and helpful, one of whom volunteered to write a preliminary letter to the owner of the Firestone building to see if he is open to community input. The Bee had a little mention of it .
-I volunteered to write a letter to the Sac Bee ombudsman bitching about how they don't have a regular reporter on the devlopment/architecture beat. I'll post it on the group when I get around to writing it (hopefully friday)

I think to join the group you have to be invited. Does someone want to be the point person? Sorry, I don't want to put my email on here, coz I'm like that.

and thanks to Amanda and Cara and other new additions who definatly have great info to add to SRD.
wait, i mean inviter. sorry, long day.
yay katy! it is true. we both have the gold crown. she can invite, i can't. go figure. well, actually, everyone knows katy is more popular than me so it's fitting.
amanda is a great asset to SRD. she knows so much and has tons of resources!
and cara is a total pro. i can't wait for her to get her hands dirty with us.
It looks like the SRD Yahoo group was originally set up as a "closed" group. This means that people have to be invited to get onto the list. Unfortunately this setting cannot be changed.
As far as Alice not being able to send invites... I think her guinea pigs had something to do with it.
BTW, thx hecka for the link to SBK. My server will soon asplode from the increase in hits.
The Yahoo group privacy settings were voted on by the group at the second meeting. We made sure that everybody wanted it that way before the vote was final. I think the trade-off is worth it, though. Having to invite people: kind of a drag. Wading through tons of lesbian porn spam-bot emails: a real drag.
Great job on the charter!
