  • Roles of Steering Committee
    • Recruiting
      • Annie finds that networking/recommendations are most effective
      • Networking technologies, like Facebook (Alex)
      • Geonotices also worked pretty well for getting Campus Ambassadors
      • Ask the students who are currently in the classes (Cheryl)
      • Priorities: West coast?
  • Each committee member should email to PJ priorites for steering committee responsibilities, for discussion next meeting.
  • Discussion of other video conference options
    • TokBox seems to be the only free videoconference service that works with enough people for us. Needs to be tested.
    • Decision to try TokBox at the end of the meeting
  • feedback from students--identify pluses and minuses with ambassador program
  • Future--keeping the program separate, or switching to letting students use conventional (WP:FEED, WP:PR) reviews, etc.
