I don't want to shit on what is otherwise a great idea, but wasn't the AGM in November? Does it really take two months to get to know one another? What has (or has not) been going on in that time? On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 2:34 PM, Brianna Laugher brianna.laug...@gmail.comwrote: Hello members

Michelle, from my own point of view, I really don't see it as a get to know each other thing and if that is what I considered the meeting to be, I wouldn't bother giving up a whole weekend and traveling to Melbourne, and I really doubt I'm the only one who would feel that way. There's a number of

would you be up for posting the agenda ahead of time on the wiki - maybe it'd be interesting to get comments on some of the issues? I'm genuinely curious (with a smile!) as to what they may be :-) ps. (for brianna really, I guess) - I don't know if there's anything you can do about it, but I

Just any issues the committee may discuss which might require fuller discussion rather than the kind of discussion you get from emails and irc. Our minutes are transparent and open as to the matters we discuss and which items we feel need further investigation and consideration and discussion, so

Subject: [Wikimediaau-l] Brainstorming for 2010 Hello members and friends, At the end of January, the committee is having a face to face meeting in Melbourne to get to know one another, strategise and make plans for 2010. Before that meeting, it will be useful to have some explicit

Agreed with Sarah's and Brianna's comments generally. I see it as a strategy and planning meeting - in essence, trying to get our priorities sorted out, and that's something which can go on forever by email, but in person with a set time available can be extremely productive. I'm coming over from
