Nevermind the late date, I am very forgetful.

Nathaniel:

this evening [july 28th] in bam we had a special treat… Lucy brought in her friend Paisley and so we had two people from Australia at the table along with Jonathan, Maggie, Melissa and myself…
I think it was a pretty strong meeting seeing as we got started pretty darned late.

We had a check-in (first in a bit of a long time)… ate some delightful biscuits (cookies all the way from Down Under, where they call them that), what was that brand name again?
[IT WAS TIMTANS!]

Did a fun writing excercise on “implants” (the movie Timer came up in the checkins)
Then we skipped some other stuff that we planned to do (report backs on small group projects, and some stuff with FB and comments) and jumped right into some ideas for a website redesign!!!!! (under the brilliant leadership of one Melissa and those with whom she communicates regularly

She mocked up some really simple stuff (structural ideas for the site) on paper, then others commented and also did some sketching. basically we’re talking about having the bam banner at the top like it is now… a big box for the blog in the center (in which links to articles, along with some lead in copy would appear) and a dynamic (stays with the viewer) nav on the left with a short description of bam

That is the primary idea for change and there are like a couple small possible variations on that

One interesting thing that came of our convo was a brilliant question: does bam have a mission statement? if so what is it? (think purpose too) So like… We’ll need to start working on that… like even on our email loop between meetings,… because it is really important IMHO

Another thing that came up is the Bam Newsletter/ list serve… and kind of how that can be better (one idea was to automate it… and make it a regular thing- weekly or monthly by user choice)

Sleepy time friends, I need my beauty sleep
