Hi Michelle, I realise the committee has not actually had a lot of visible output in the past two months, but we have in fact been working away. As well as some orientation stuff to organise, we have held two committee meetings (minutes will be published in the next few days) and spent significant effort working towards participating in this year's WMF fundraiser. That ultimately was kinda pulled out from under us when the Foundation met their fundraising target 3-4 weeks early and ended the fundraiser early, but we did make progress on setting up the software and seeking permission in each legislation area (most states). We are not at the point of having that all finished, but I believe we have a very good grasp on what is required now and will be able to complete that this year in time for the 2010-11 fundraiser. There was also the small matter of Christmas and NY. The past two months for the committee has not been a "getting to know you" period, really. And by that phrase I don't mean hearing each other's life stories, I mean getting a sense for each person's communication dynamic and committee participation style - something I am certainly looking forward to doing in person. cheers Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/ _______________________________________________ Wikimediaau-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
