[OWW-Discuss] OpenWetWare Community Town Hall meeting: Thursday, June 10 at 12 noon.

[Lorrie LeJeune]

Hi Folks,
To better reflect the community focus of OpenWetWare, we're
relaunching our monthly steering meeting as the OWW Community Town
Hall.* Unless otherwise indicated, we intend to hold it on the second
Thursday of the month at 12 noon. Our next Town Hall will take place
next Thursday, June 12, at 12 noon EDT.  The conference bridge is
617-452-5208. Instructions on which chat client to use will follow.

One topic I'd like to cover at this month's meeting is discussion
forums and better ways of communicating with other OWW members. Please
post your ideas at:

At the May meeting, each person agreed to personally invite another
OWW member to attend the meeting. So send out those invitations!

Pertinent action items from the May meeting:
* John to look into Social Text.
* Ricardo to do some viral marketing for lab Notebook out in the blogosphere
* Lorrie to come up with a blog posting schedule on OWW (to highlight
new features on the site or other items of interest)
* We'll be following up shortly with more information about OWW and
the research cycle.

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