 * Project boot-strapping (David or Mark)
 * Project Idea workflow (David or Mark)
+==Meeting Notes==
+Last week important week with partners and
+Two important developments:
+) where we want to start: pick small number of projects to boot-strap and run with quickly
+David is taking lead on planning and development with a number of those
+e.g., Fair Mobile, priavy icon challenge, etc.
+Big focus for next few months is to get those up and running
+logic behind that is that we want to get to the pont where anyone can propse any idea and there's apipeline of prjects that come into forefront
+- help with fundraising, grants, volunteers, etc.
+BUT, the best way to get there is by showing what projects would look like had they gone through that funnel
+projecst in montion that we are are accelerating through the process
+)
+Feedback on web page mock-ups
+enthusiasm for simplicity of approach
+site as platform for projects and intake channel for people to propose projects
+enough enthusiasm for direction that we're going to keep moving in that direction, and try to get up with prototype web site for January
+Editorial content beyond projects
+talked about as Drumbeat "blog"
+enthusiasm for that; material we produce on that will end up in multiple channels
+Events
+Small local drumbeat events emerging -- many organized around finding content and people and projecst that go into larger Drumbeat pipeline
+Big event confirmed; 90% June
+location still up for discussion:
+Istanbul, Rome, or Amsterdam
+need to search for local partners; big deciding factor
+Mark to do blog posting on this later this week
+OpenOffice project
+integrate into Drumbeat talk
+William: present opensource meet-up; share their experience at Fosdem
+tie it to larger discussion on Drumbeat
+turn it into larger opensource meetups across Europe
+Fosdem: one of largest international European developer conferences
+Free and open source software developer meeting
+takes place in Brussels every year in February (Feb 6 and 7 this year)
+weekend of workshops and session presentations (and drinking!)
+every year Mozilla participates, has its own dev room
+brings together 150 Mozilla contributors
+want ideas on broadening meet-ups across Europe; within Drumbeat framework
+thoughts on presenting Drumbeat at Fosdem in Dev room
+potentially tying that to open source meet-ups
+Mark: advocate for two separate slots
+) global Drumbeat framework
+) separate session just on event approach; getting template down
+nest them together, but not totally tie them together
+Mark
+Another place where we will tie in Drumbeat events in near term
+Bangalore & Singapore
+Day or two-long open video conference in Bangalore
+"Keep it open" tech talks or "Your open web idea"
+Takes Drumbeat concept of taking projects that keep the web more open, and give a 5-minute Ignite-style talk
+a little bit of Drumbeat, Dragon's Den, Talent Search
+a lot of fun and theater
+one-hour evening, ten talks
+One goal: have fewer Mozilla community members, broaden out to reach more of the 5,000 visitors there
+Create TED or Ignite-style archive of talks that exist in video online
+Gina: swing back and forth between more tech-focused language vs. idealism and bigger picture
+Highlight diversity. Tends to be male-centric. On the social web, more women than men.
+Might want to consider adding a video aspect that could be used to broaden project.
+David Eaves: Project Boot-strapping
+interested in leveraging larger audience of people who resonate with Mozilla
