Should be public by tomorrow night. 21:15:41 <Wanda_FL> During the outreach meeting today we talked about talk like a pirate day We agreed that we should have some people try to attend any pirate events during the day and that we should make resources such as cards and brochures easily available to whoever would like to promote the party in person for the event. 21:15:47 <Wanda_FL> We also should host a twitter space or the equivalent from other platforms on USPP socials on Talk Like A Pirate Day with speakers from the party to promote our views and allow curious people to ask questions directly to us. If we do this it should be promoted heavily beforehand to ensure that people know about it 21:16:05 <Wanda_FL> We also discussed planning regional meetings 21:16:45 <Wanda_FL> (some of that is copy/pasted from the discord so if it says today it means last Tuesday) 21:17:12 <yari> for IT: we talked more about the process for folks to use and volunteer for different parts of our workflow, and how trainings could be implemented. We decided that working on restructuring the wiki is pretty important because it could be a very useful tool if correctly implemented. By next week, we are going to be reaching out to other committees about doing filmed trainings, and we will be changing the account creation process on the wiki so that it is mor 21:17:28 <yari> more streamlined 21:17:40 <yari> end of IT report 21:18:05 <DreadPirateDrew> Any other reports? 21:18:21 <iAmV> Swarmcare is working with Outreach to plan infosessions for regional/state meetings. Some very valid points were mentioned in platform committee how we don't always have ways to introduce the org to new people. I'm going to relook at a draft for a "You're a pirate, now what" flow-chart. Also, "this week in pirate news" is an open project. 21:19:18 <Wanda_FL> The Young Pirates did not meet this week.
