Agenda

Ride The Tide

• We need to get our proposal submitted by Thursday, April 6. Given our talent at meeting deadlines, we should finish it during the meeting, just to be safe.
• It's called the Re-Mixer! How exactly are we going to re-mix?
  • audio? Garageband? Audacity?
  • Video? Muvee Autoproducer? iMovie?

Summit

FUNDING!

• How much do we have?

• How much do we need?
  • about $260 more for Derek

PROPPING!

KICKING ASS!

Members

We need more people to show up! How?

• More video game playing in the video pit?
• More food?
• Watching fun and education short films before getting to work?

How can we bring in new members? We have not been good at teaching newbies about free culture. Putting them to work right away is probably not the best way to do it :-P
