Yes.  An agenda would be nice.

You can pretty much count on me logging everything, since my client is
set up to do that anyway.

In the future, it would be nice to have an edited log, containing only
the important bits.  I would suggest that the person doing the logging
edit them before submitting them.  But if, for some reason, the
submitter can't edit it, I think it should be the maintainer's job to do
it.  I was really busy that day, or I would have done it myself.

My vote would be for "The BSD Advocacy Project," because it sounds a
little more official.  This will be more important when used in
whitepapers, presentations, etc.

Re: the OFFICIAL project name...

Tommorow I will be attempting to write up a report on the goals, and
stuff of the BSD Advocacy Project, this right up will be a draft and
will be subjected to the crisismic of the list, and basically everyone
as a whole. Although at the current moment someone keeps sidetracking me
from my duties.

mapping users....

hello all,

  i am going to be mapping out where everyone involved with the project is
located...just general location.  This data will be used for future
conferences (in case we can get a booth, etc.) and to just generally
know where everyone is at.

  if everyone could just email me personally (not to the list...unless you
want everyone to know your location) the facts about your whereabouts, i
will start plotting points, and associating them with names.  No
details...just tell me the name of the nearest large city..The data is
kept in strict confidentiality, and its not going to be released to
anyone except possibly the project CORE group, or the person in charge
of organizing events, etc.

  if you don't want to participate, thats fine..but the more data we have,
the better.  That way, if we get word of a conference being held in say
Washington D.C. in the States, we will know who to contact to see if
they can attend, etc. or maybe (would be awesome if so) get some people
to run a booth at a  conference, etc.

RE: mapping users....

Josh,
Take a look at this that was posted to -chat.  Using xearth might be a good
idea,
I've left the rest of the post here because it was funny. :)

The February 2003 issue of Scientific American has an article that
reminded me of this file (xearth/files/freebsd.committers.markers).
It is titled `Satellite-Guided Munitions', and describes some nifty
kits you can use to upgrade your `cheap' dumb bomb to a smart bomb
that can strike within a few meters of the programmed coordinates 90%
of the time (or similar accuracy -- I don't have the article in front
of me at the moment).

Specialties Compiled

I posted last week:
Specialties:
1. Technical/Admin (acts as postmaster, server admin, user admin, www 
admin, gets mirrors set up with others, etc)
2. Recruiting (main person to hunt down and recruit more advocating people)
3. Advocating (spearhead events, learn about events, keep calendar, find 
people to help out with events, etc)
4. HTML/Design (keeps the web site in tip top shape, looking good, and 
organized)
5. Press/Media/Writing (talk to the press, write press releases, etc)
6. Programmer (writes scripts and code for the site, and works closely 
with the HTML/Design person to make sure things are "
perfect")

Here's the responses:
Eric Anderson
1. 10
2. 5
3. 4
4. 5
5. 5
6. 7

Linh Pham
1. 8
2. 2
3. 5
4. 9 (HTML) / 6 (Design - check out closedsrc.org for an example)
5. 6 (I can write... as I've done so before, but mostly tech articles)
6. 7 (PHP) / 5 (Perl) / 5.5 (Python)

Re: Specialties Compiled

Oops - I should have been more clear.. It's in order from highest to 
lowest, by category - so for me (Eric Anderson), my highest score was 
for category 1, second highest was category 6, etc.

Speaking for myself, your rankings are quite accurate, and I'd be quite
comfortable in your recommended position as programmer.
