Campaigns meeting notes 07-15-13

LIBREPLANET 2014 BASIC GOALS

• Attendee number

* Goal of 300 attendees, which means 500 people registered
* In 2013 about 60% of the registered people actually came
* If we do more student outreach, we need to have programming to match  

• Make the event more kid-friendly, including programming for kids and child care

* John will have to see if our insurance covers it
* We could also see if we can get help with it through the union

• Gender ratio

* Better in speakers will lead to better in attendees, if we get the time to do promotion
* Child care might help

• Followthrough

* Set a goal to have the videos all published within a month after the conference

• Set a goal for media coverage
• Encourage more remote participation, like a video call-in. RMS has ideas about this.
• Budget planning, grant research, volunteer planning, venue research divided among Libby, Willy, Kxra and Zak

MISC

• Do we want to promote RMS's RT interview or that picture of him with Assange?

* Willy will dent and see if there's anything else useful to do

• John added campaigns-discuss to CiviCRM so the token contact.first_name shows up in test emails.
• Zak will look into configuring CiviCRM so that when it doesn't have a name for a contact, it just uses a default name like "Supporter"
