1176323572 20:32:52<Pilotguy> Sandy, did you get everyone assigned to those various tasks you needed?
1176323604 20:33:24<cary> I have a contact request on my meta talk page
1176323622 20:33:42<cary> http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bastique#Communication_Projects_Group_2

1176323680 20:34:40<seanw> Pilotguy, looks good
1176323743 20:35:43<seanw> Okay, so, perhaps we should all have a quick chat about what we've been doing.
1176323751 20:35:51<seanw> I'll go first, if I may..
1176323777 20:36:17<seanw> I've been spending some time adding new members to the database etc.
1176323782 20:36:22<seanw> It's great that we have so much interest!
1176323800 20:36:40<seanw> Also, we are getting some really experienced people interested which means we have a good pool to draw on for projects
1176323807 20:36:47 * cary thinks seanw is organized
1176323809 20:36:49<Pilotguy> indeed
1176323809 20:36:49<cary> this is good
1176323811 20:36:51<seanw> Secondly, I jsut finished a dispute resolution flyer for Sandy. Thirdly, I had a fun interview with Current TV.
1176323864 20:37:44<seanw> cary, ooo thanks :D
1176323878 20:37:58<chanueting> it seems good
1176323879 20:37:59<seanw> It was very interesting - they focussed very much on my current mediation on psychedelic drugs.
1176323878 20:37:58<seanw> Okay, so trhat's me.
1176323881 20:38:01<seanw> Next?

1176324241 20:44:01<Martinp23> Sorry I'm late - this seems to have dropped off my -auto list :)
1176324241 20:44:01<seanw> cary, okay, fair enough.
1176324241 20:44:01<Martinp23> Hi seanw
1176324257 20:44:17<seanw> OKay, Martinp23: we were just going round seeig what people have been up to on the CPG front.
1176324261 20:44:21<seanw> Want to talk about your work?
1176324269 20:44:29<Martinp23> OK -
1176324291 20:44:51<Martinp23> per Sandy's suggestion, I went and created the "Success Stories" page
1176324304 20:45:04<Martinp23> (redirect here: [[m:Success stories]])
1176324347 20:45:47<Martinp23> and have publicised it on all the Enligh language project village pumps, and on foundation-l and wikien-l (awiting moderation, I think)
1176324362 20:46:02<Pilotguy> cool
1176324371 20:46:11<Martinp23> Sandy and I both emailed Wikizine, and it was mentioned there, and may be in the next signpost :)
1176324384 20:46:24<seanw> Ah yes  in terms of Wikizine, you can bug me - I'm an editor
1176324418 20:46:58<Martinp23> OK :)
1176324428 20:47:08<Martinp23> That's it from me

1176324490 20:48:10<seanw> Okay, that's everyone who is not idle in this room... I'm a little concerned about the low turn out.
1176324505 20:48:25<jtico> Hi there, may I?
1176324528 20:48:48<seanw> Oh, sure :)
1176324561 20:49:21<jtico> Well, I have a "personal com. proy"
1176324600 20:50:00<jtico> In the past month I have tried to gather information here and there and try to post it in the spanish wikipedia
1176324626 20:50:26<jtico> I have subscribed to the wikizine, for example
1176324685 20:51:25<jtico> And this morning I learned about this project
1176324767 20:52:47<jtico> I think I could help by sending information to the es-wiki
1176324769 20:52:49<cary> Because nobody has provided a spanish translation for the village pump
