Mark!
This is a mess. I'm just brain dumping. Feel free to do the same.

Intro
Meetings are a great place to create the culture of a company.
AboutUs is a fun, vibrant & engaged place to work–let's carry this culture through to the meetings.
Suggestion
- Establish some ground rules for meetings:
- Every meeting has a facilitator.
Teach facilitation skills. Suggestion: 4 folks take a 1hour facilitation workshop. They then, teach 2 others the skills they learned. Share the responsibilty for facilitation.
- Roles: facilitator, note taker (uploads notes to ProjectPage), project page updater, vibes watcher, time keeper.
Agenda Item
- Meeting Times: Having planning meetings on Friday afternoon might not be the most productive time. In general, folks are trying to clear their plates for the weekend, are most likely tired from a long week, & looking forward to LEAVING.
- One large issue meeting a day.
Suggestion
- Hold planning meetings early in the week when folks are fresh.
