February 3rd Agenda

Robert Scales will discuss his conversations with the BC Independent (unaccredited) media centre and discuss some conversations with curious collaborators and corporate supporters.

Scales will also preview the "Social Media and the Olympics" panel at the upcoming Northern Voice conference in which noted Olympic scholar Dr. Andy Miah from the UK will share his experience and knowledge (see his essays in "Owning the Olympics").

Dave Olson will offer a few remarks about the Vancouver2010.com web focus group meeting including the IOC's "constraints" and VANOC's evolving web strategy.

Ideation time and input from all participants and an opportunity to offer skills (and superpowers).

Form committees
Note: To get things started, Robert, Kris and I propose to organize three committees for starters and then break out task forces and sub-committees as needed, ergo:

Robert Scales - Partnerships (sponsorships, fundraising, gov relations, corp outreach)

Kris Krug - Operations (programming, volunteer, facilities, finance, logistics)

Dave Olson - Communications (brand, messaging, media relations, web site, blog etc.)

  • Roland Tanglao - I'll do whatever do Dave tells me to do for Communications :-)
