    j - February 16, 2006 @ 5:51 pm · Meetings

    My apologies for the /late late late/ agenda. There was a bit of confusion about who was going to post the agenda this week.

    • Introductions
    • What is our group’s name and mission?
      • If people who weren’t at the meeting last week attend, let’s fill them in on the name change update.
    • Well wishes for Michael as he prepares for surgery
    • Lots of nifty events this past week. Maybe people can share what they attended.
    • Soon:
    • Upcoming blog meeting stuff:
      • 2/23/06: Critt Jarvis: “So you’re a citizen journalist? Prove it!” Or, How I practice citizen journalism on Newsvine.
      • Andy Carvin, bandwidth waster, international traveler, blogger, sharer of fabulous tails and tales, who does really important things, has a new book coming out. When it’s available for distribution, he’ll tell us about it.
      • Dan Bricklin, known for his work on VisiCalc and wikiCalc
      • Possibly a superstar blogging librarian who’s giving a talk in the area
      • Ookles, perhaps — if their Boston road show works with a Thursday meeting
      • Someone who can fill us in on what’s happening with China and the Internet
    • dim sum on Feb 26?
    • HA! ice skating – when? (HLS even has a free ice rink, if folks have or can independently rent skates and there’s enough ice.)
  • Eat:
    • This week: Grafton Street
    • Last time: Cambridge Common

    During the meeting, participate via:

    • No live audio this week. Erica has been trained on the equipment, but there are still a few kinks to work out, and she hasn’t had time yet to deal with them.
    • IRC chat
    • live notes
    • join us at Baker House!

    • What is our group’s name and mission?
      • Erica wonders about ‘officially’ expanding our name and mission to include more technology tools instead of having a primary focus on blogs. It seems like we talk about all sorts of geeky stuff anyway. What do you think?
    • How did Bill’s SLA-Boston Chapter talk go?
    • What was Rebecca’s talk on Wednesday to the Digital Media in Asia Project like?
    • Well wishes for Michael as he prepares for surgery
    • Pick restaurant for next week’s post-meeting dinner since it’s the monthly meetup and they need the restaurant in advance.

    • Introductions
    • The Boston Weblogger Meetup
      • Remind j to bring the glasses someone left at the last Weblogger Meetup
    • We’re going to go to a 7:30 pm talk in the Ames Courtroom in Austin Hall about Restorative Justice in Jamaica featuring Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, a boxer who was wrongly imprisoned in the United States for many years. Denzel Washington brought attention to Carter’s story via the film The Hurricane. This talk may seem orthogonal to our group, but “Prof. Nesson wanted us to think about how we could use the Internet to communicate this message and involve people outside of the room at Harvard Law School where the talk will happen.” How can we use the Internet to help inmates, especially those wrongly imprisoned?
    • Upcoming Stuff
    • Eat:
      • This week: Weblog Meetup Week, so we picked a dinner time & location in advance. 9pm, Cambridge Common – Actually likely to be 9:30 or possibly even a tad later since it’s 8:30 as I post this and Hurricane just started speaking (there was some excellent prelim stuff). If you’re headed straight to the food part of the evening, we will be there. CC has a lovely bar you can hang out at in the meantime….
      • UPDATE: 9:10 the event is now in q&a, so some of our crew have headed over to Cambridge Common, and the rest of us will join them soon.
      • Last time: South Street Diner
  • we’re NOT going to try this live audio thingie again because the equipment is in transition (We now have the new equipment all set up, but Erica needs to train on using it)
