Gregory has deleted over 1500 Spam comments from the PPI website and from the forum. The website comments are now "in moderation" - everyone, please check the aproval queue in drupal, and also recent forum messages. (And, yes, this has nothing to do with censorship ;-) )

4 - AGENDA

4.1 - Conference planning (proposed by Jerry)

Our next steps concerning the PPI conference.

We have received two offers before the deadline (and none after). One is from Ravensbruck-Friedrichshafen and one is from Osnabruck, both in Germany.

Proposed offer from Munich withdrawn in favor for Ravensbruck/Friedrichshafen.

Questions pad: http://ppi.piratenpad.de/conference-preparations

Jerry will put the offer from Fridrichshafen into the wiki and asks for a telco conference and if deadline of 31. is ok.

Next week: Request for questions to applications, next collection of questions, then time to answer - probably a few weeks. See Timetable a few meetings ago for details.

4.2 - Press contacts (proposed by Gregory)

We are looking for a person, that would compile a list of major net media from the countries of our members, so that we can send out the press releases more efficiently.

Jerry will write and sent out an e-mail to pp-leaders (international media and net topics).
