To better reflect the community focus of OpenWetWare, we're<br>
relaunching our monthly steering meeting as the OWW Community Town<br>
Hall.* Unless otherwise indicated, we intend to hold it on the second<br>
Thursday of the month at 12 noon. Our next Town Hall will take place<br>
next Thursday, June 12, at 12 noon EDT. The conference bridge is<br>
617-452-5208. Instructions on which chat client to use will follow.<br>
<br>
One topic I'd like to cover at this month's meeting is discussion<br>
forums and better ways of communicating with other OWW members. Please<br>
post your ideas at:<br>
<a href="http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Steering_committee_next_meeting" target="_blank">http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Steering_committee_next_meeting</a><br>
<br>
At the May meeting, each person agreed to personally invite another<br>
OWW member to attend the meeting. So send out those invitations!<br>
<br>
Pertinent action items from the May meeting:<br>
* John to look into Social Text.<br>
* Ricardo to do some viral marketing for lab Notebook out in the blogosphere<br>
* Lorrie to come up with a blog posting schedule on OWW (to highlight<br>
new features on the site or other items of interest)<br>
* We'll be following up shortly with more information about OWW and<br>
the research cycle.<br>
<br>
Notes from the May meeting:<br>

*For anyone who's not familiar with the term, a town hall meeting is<br>
an informal public meeting derived from the traditional town meetings<br>
of New England in the U.S.<br>
(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_hall_meeting" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_hall_meeting</a>). In this spirit,<br>
anyone in the OWW community is welcome to attend, raise issues of<br>
interest to the community, and voice their opinions. OpenWetWare is a<br>
growing community with many new members, and I really encourage any or<br>
all of you to call in or log into the chat.<br>
