Should LoT “take over” the Portland Social Media group? Good discussion, but it was decided that since there’s not a need for assistance with sponsorships, that LoT shouldn’t “take over” but that Josh and Justin will talk with the PSM organizers about starting it up again, and see what kind of assistance/encouragement we can offer.

Ignite Portland 2 planning: We need to start having weekly meetings, and formalize committee assignments.

Discussion of days and locations for monthly board meetings.

Opens:

(Justin) We need a way to aggregate event calendars for other Portland events, and be a clearinghouse for all things tech event in Portland. It’s a sufficiently technical problem, so discussion was taken outside the meeting.

We are an Oregon Non Profit

We are official. We are now an Oregon Non Profit organization.

Note: We are still not (and may never become) a tax-exempt organization, and we still have some paperwork to file.

We also had our first board meeting last week where we approved our bylaws, board of directors, and officers.
