The next THATCamp Council meeting will take place on Tuesday, 2/2/16 at 4pm Eastern time. Suggest items for the agenda here: thatcamp.org/forums/topic/january-2016-thatcamp-council-meeting-agenda/

* Report on site theme issues
* Kickstart a fund to pay Boone Gorges & Tammie李斯特 & maybe Jeremy Boggs to troubleshoot?
* Reports from other THATCamps
* Other business?

现在: 阿曼达法国, Jeff McClurken (former Council member), 帕特里克·默里 - 约翰, 蒂姆Sherratt, 凯思琳·托马斯, 弥迦书Vandegrift已
缺席: 弗雷德里克卡尔弗特, 汤姆Scheinfeldt (former Council member)

Patrick and Amanda gave a general introduction to the Council, including its mission, responsibilities, and logistics. Last year the major accomplishments of the Council were writing and adopting an anti-harassment policy and moving the THATCamp website to Reclaim Hosting.

Amanda was elected the new Chair of the Council. Patrick will remain the RRCHNM representative.

Amanda reported on a piece of old business, namely the Proceedings of THATCamp. We need to incorporate it more into THATCamp subsites and write documentation about how it works to encourage use of the Favorite button that feeds the Proceedings and to increase awareness of the site: Amanda will undertake (再次) to do that. Micah will follow up with the person who’s interested in co-editing a manually curated issue of the Proceedings and report back at the next meeting.

Tim reported on last November’s THATCamp Canberra: 有 60-80 people and was generally successful. Digital humanities is much more organized and formal than it used to be, which has changed the nature of THATCamps to some extent. Amanda reported on THATCamp Virginia and THATCamp CAA. Patrick reported on plans for THATCamp Prime (RRCHNM), which will be focused on attracting intermediate advanced practitioners of digital humanities. This might raise issues of exclusivity and elitism, but the Council has no strong objection at this time, especially if participants self-identify their level of expertise.

The next meeting of the Council will be Monday, August 10th, at 8am Eastern US time, 10pm Canberra time, and 1pm Paris time.

In my last act as THATCamp Council Chair, I’m posting a draft agenda here for the next THATCamp Council meeting, which is scheduled for 3pm EST on Monday, June 16th.

* Who should respond to journalistic queries about THATCamp? Do we have a communications strategy?
* Update on new help document on funding begun at last meeting
* Update on Code of Conduct

Other business?

Many heartfelt thanks to Micah Vandegrift for taking these notes at the THATCamp Council meeting on 4/22. The next meeting is scheduled for June 16th (Bloomsday!) at 3pm Eastern.

弥迦书: Do we try to attend THATCamps in our regional area?
Generally we are encouraged to attempt to attend when we can. — see the Council Charter thatcamp.org /理事会 下 “理事会的职责”

Agreeing on how often to meet
Quarterly
Probably try to meet more regularly in busy seasons (mid-Fall semester, mid-Spring semester)

Making revisions to the Charter
adding a method to remove a Chair
“任何THATCamp委员会成员都可以召开会议，提出拆除无响应或疏忽主席. 现任主席必须邀请到会议及时. 召集委员会成员将作为代理该次会议的主席，并必须张贴一个理由会议议程本周事先提出拆除主席的公开至少一个. Five Council member votes in favor are required at the convened meeting in order to remove a Chair.”
language proposed and voted in by the Council. Will announce to the community. If there are comments/issue with this language, it will be added to the next agenda.

removing the section on first election procedures
Jeff will serve 1 year term; allowed to run again.
帕特里克, Tom and Amanda will rotate off after one year.
clarifying “openness” of meetings, clarifying policies on recording meetings and posting recordings
Chair has the responsibility to “Ensure that community members who request to join a public meeting have appropriate access to the meeting”
do we record meetings? 如何? how to share?
default will be that we do not record meetings, but Council can vote at any time to record a meeting. Voted and passed.

Discussing whether to delete the THATCamp Google Map 和 THATCamp Google Calendar
– We decided to keep them for archival purposes, but they will not be updated as the functionality has been integrated into the THATCamp site.

(new item) Fundraising
– Background – most of it was used to provide travel support thru fellowships/scholarships
– What is the role of the Council on fundraising?
– Logistically complicated when involving $$. CHNM as organization to funnel? Explored in the past, and not possible.
– Add a help page to the site encouraging home organizational support from the outset
– Amanda will work out text for a Help page and send it around

Adopting a Code of Conduct (反骚扰政策)
We explored how and why this is an important step to take.
CHNM forked Code4Lib’s on github
Amanda will take that text and move to GDoc
We’ll coordinate and work over the text, announce to the community and work to ratify.

Agenda Item for next meeting?
– Strategic communication plan? who is responsible for responding to journalists?

3rd a) remove responsibility of the Chair to record meeting, B) add option for any council member to propose recording and Council will vote.

第一THATCamp理事会会议定于周二, 4/22 at 1pm Eastern time. In my experience, Skype is the most reliable Internet tool for holding such meetings, so I chose that over Google Hangouts or another tool. I then realized, 但, that Skype calls aren’t “打开” in the sense that people can listen in. If you’re interested in listening in, 让我知道, and I’ll figure out another means of meeting. We will definitely post notes afterward, 至少.
