April 5, 2009 Meeting

We discussed new ideas to benefit people, such as classes, and also the BPF Virtual Chapter. Part of this will be to have activities for people to do online and/or in real life, such as the BPF radio program that John Simon has worked with in Atlanta before, and making You Tube videos. We have a projector to show the internet on a big screen to facilitate the discussion. Hopefully there will be a framework for the Online things worked out before then, and we can discuss how local chapter people can help that as well as participate in real life efforts, such a various classes. People can bring some food and Tom Lacey usually gets some cheese pizza. We usually eat first and then have the brain storming session.

Tom Lacey will also give a brief presentation on the Ning site, Twitter, Google Groups and Sites, and how to collaborate online for organizing.
