Gennaio 2016 THATCamp Council meeting agenda

[Amanda francese]

We’re currently trying to schedule a January THATCamp Council meeting: meanwhile here’s an agenda.

* Problemi del sito web, including those raised in thread about the last Council meeting agenda at http://thatcamp.org/forums/topic/agenda-items-for-next-meeting/

* Status of additional documentation about such things as archived sites, Atti del THATCamp, etc.

* Planning for Council elections in spring

* Reports from various THATCamps

* Altro?

To maybe add, depending on the timing: Status of THATCamp Prime:

At RRCHNM, so far no others interested in organizing a “Primo”, which reflects the identity crisis we’ve talked about. Grad students get back week of Jan 18, so will ping them again to see if there’s a group that wants to put on an RRCHNM/Prime THATCamp.

If there’s no interest, I’m not going to try to put on a THATCamp by myself. That’ll raise the identity question again: Should there be a “Primo” that sets, or at least promotes, directions? How to put it together? (Especially since the NOVA THATCamp space is getting crowded with UVA, DC, and VCU events having happened and/or in the works?)

Minutes of THATCamp Council
===========

Attendees – PMJ, AF, FC, MV

#1 Problemi del sito web

including those raised in thread about the last Council meeting agenda at http://thatcamp.org/forums/topic/agenda-items-for-next-meeting/

Three different issues, but all have been resolved.
1- WP Plugin Memory Leak. Boone fixed.
2- Late Nov. log files filled up on server at Reclaim Hosting – Resolved.
3- New Years. Server managed by linode, DDOS attack.

Site performing much better than it ever has.

Kick starter, or call for community to keep an eye on it?

—– sidebar discussion —————
THATCamp need a dedicated organizational home?
Reclaim hosted, paid for by CHNM, but not necessarily an active IT support team.
Difficult, but not impossible.

CHNM treats THATCamp as a legacy project.

Ask DLF? ADHO? ADHO-ACH? Rotation between different regional communities?

Add a new role to the council? THATCamp Organizational Lead? Borrow model of DPLA state hub coordinator?

What if we as a council wrote a grant proposal for a dedicated position?

What if THATCamp doesnt need this level of ideological support?
Council can be useful for institutional memory.
We could reconceive the Council as an Advisory Board
—– end sidebar —————

New camps do NOT need to use the THATCamp site.
Micah will follow up with John Crow about his questions.
