Checkins held

Harold will be bin gardener:

• Meet logo designer is done; Harold might add something to Website from the logo
• Spiritual evolution is done

Annual membership drive:

• Suzanne drafted one
• Harold is reworking it today
• want to have something by the end of the call
• move the appeal up to first paragraph
• $20 to 1500—don't set the bar too low.

Wikipedia entry:

• Not much energy to eliminate the banners
• resistance to cleaning it up—might offend people if clean it up
• Leave it in the bin, but bring in items around it, e.g., what we are doing as an institute in a very non-institutional world. Contextualizing.
• Whom do we serve and how best do we serve them?
  • Difference between leadership in a hub and leadership in a hierarchy
  • about invitation, attraction, questions that matter
• Need a layered approach, so people can find themselves in there.
• This conversation needs to go to the OSlist
• Maybe host a separate conversation about this.
• There is a stewardship issue here: lightly stewarding the community.
• Question needs to be larger than just cleaning up the Wikipedia entry
• Recommend to Phelim to do something separate from Wikipedia
