2) Newsletter Project Status

Waiting for web-space. Contacting IT. Would take long time to get IT-admin for Flaschenpost to setup wordpress since he's very busy at the moment. If you have problems with that I can offer space at bluehost.com to set up a wordpress blog. Dominic will help with setting it up. We have space at PPI, they only need a public SSH key from us to give access. Josef will talk with Dominic after meeting about what needs to be done.

Currently waiting for web-page and logo. Once that is done we're ready to launch.

3) Follow-Up on last meeting

Suggestions for motivating authors

Delegation of suggestions, as like in Flaschenpost Germany

5) Branding (logo, website, external mail-list). Progress and/or suggestions.

Proposals Logo: https://p.twimg.com/AxMA9cYCQAAwFKu.png:large http://stat.collentine.com/logo_sketches.png (working on more as well /josef ) http://www.patrick-schiffer.de/img/scribbles_piratetimes.pdf (pakki)

Domi collects logos proposed via mailing list into a gallery in the wiki. The final logo will be chosen in the next meeting.

Logo format needs to be Scalable Vector Graphics, SVG. Each proposal in a separate file, but collected in one e-mail as attachments. We need the logos in a vector version as we want to scale it seamlessly without any loss or compromise in quality. See here why: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Bitmap_VS_SVG.svg/800px-Bitmap_VS_SVG.svg.png.

We want it in SVG, so we are able to process on the logo in a portable and open format. Please also convert the text into pathes, as the font you used will not be embedded into the graphic file.

6) Other questions/topics for meeting

6a. Wikipad Access Andrew requests wikipad access. Gefion asks for his e-mail address and takes care of it. Captcha's don't work on our pad, this is why the accounts are set up by Gefion.

6b. Potsdam Congress of International Affairs of Pirates: July 28 - 29 2012

6c. Icelandic Pirate Party

   Birgitta Jónsdóttir, known from IMMI/ wikileaks, to form Pirate Party of Iceland with Reykjavik mayor http://bit.ly/Nl2iWt
